Galaxy Note 4 vs. Galaxy Note 5 Specs (Rumored)

Nothing is confirmed but we have a pretty good read on just how the Galaxy Note 4 specs will compare to the Galaxy Note 5 specs.

Galaxy Note 4

• 5.7-inch Quad HD display
• Exynos 7 octa-core processor
• 3GB RAM
• 16MP rear camera / 5MP front-facing camera
• 32GB storage with microSD card slot
• 3,220 mAh removable battery
• S Pen stylus
• Android Lollipop

Galaxy Note 5

• 5.7-inch (5.66) Quad HD display
• Exynos 7420 octa-core processor or Exynos 7422 octa-core processor
• 4GB of RAM
• 16MP rear camera / 5MP front-facing camera
• 32GB / 64GB / 128GB internal storage
• 4,000+ mAh battery
• S Pen
• Android 5.1.1 Lollipop

So we’re probably looking at the same screen size and resolution and the same base software. The Galaxy Note 4 is just now getting upgraded to Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, an update that brings various bug fixes and enhancements. The Galaxy Note 4 should be better off because of it. There are some key differences though.

They include the change to a newer processor, the inclusion of 4GB of RAM, three storage sizes to offset the lack of a microSD card slot, and a much larger battery. The Galaxy Note 5 will almost certainly be the most powerful phone Samsung’s ever released.

Cheaper Galaxy Note 4

We still don’t know how much the Galaxy Note 5 will cost but it’s important to note that Samsung recently started dropping the prices of the Galaxy S6 ($199.99 on-contract) and Galaxy S6 Edge ($299.99) to make room for its new premium smartphones.

The Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge will probably be cheaper than the Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 Edge Plus and the same goes for the Galaxy Note 4.

We’ve seen the Galaxy Note 4 price start to dip as we’ve pushed deeper into August and we expect more Galaxy Note 4 deals to emerge in the aftermath of Thursday’s launch. The Galaxy Note 4 price will probably drop at least $100 and maybe more through third-party retailers.
