It’s been 2 years since I got the N9005 - it still holding up pretty excellent. I’m on my 2nd set of 3 batteries, which I cycle to optimize their capacities, and to reduce the rate of their deterioration. With notifications on, eating up some 2GB of daily data use which include media downloads, I usually change batteries some 10-12 hours later. It’s also wonderful to be using a microSD 128GB card, giving me an actual extra 120GB of memory space.
I was up for a Note.5, but it sucks big time because it has a silly fragile glass rear, no infrared remote control functions, doesn’t come with a memory expansion and possibility to DIRECTLY double or triple the battery.
I’m just waiting for my 2 sets of 6400 mAh capacity batteries so I will not need to change batteries before I go home.
