A, it does. And b, if this is some copying jibe, the iPhone wasn't the first to have a finger print reader. .
Actually was no copying jibe as you call it, I don't see any place or option to use it, odd. I can honestly care less who had it first, I just don't see it on this Galaxy.
That's funny because I thought the same thing at first. I didn't realize it has the fingerprint sensor until I was in settings under the lock screen passcode stuff. Saw it there and set it up. It wasn't obvious at first though.
Yeah I found the setting, didn't realize the home button was a finger print sensor, didn't look like one.
I've been using a note 5 for the last few days and so far so good. Good timing as my charging port on my 6splus plus isn't working and Apple has no open appointments until monday.
I have to say the screen has a much better look to it, everything is clearer and sharper. I've messed with the s6 before in the store and the colors always looked fake but this seems to be just right. The camera may be just as good as my iPhone but the screen makes them look better.
I'm not a tech junkie so I use my phone for calls,internet, camera, emails, notes and GPS.
The pen on the note 5 seems useless to me, maybe on iPad size device it's good.
The note does everything my 6splus plus does, some differences but easy to get the hang of.
The native keyboard is better with the numbers on it so you don't have to toggle back and forth.
Google maps are better than Apples to me.
I'm sure I'll have more to say in another week with this note5

I got the Verizon one and I am now 3 days into it. I must say the screen colors are much nicer than on my 6 plus, but the Galaxy phones always have beautiful vibrant colors. Loving the live wallpapers (have a killer aquarium live wallpaper and of course a matrix one I am using). Battery life has been really good and I like the clock mode setting on the edge of the screen. Now that I discovered the fingerprint setup, Ito pretty accurate and quick.
One thing I want is the keyboard from the note on my iphone.
I like the letters and numbers on the screen at the same time.

It is pretty handy eh? I really like that as well. When I'm on the go, whether heading to the gym or running quick errands I grab my iPhone. However, if I'm traveling or going anywhere in need of some serious multitasking, I always take my Galaxy Note 5.
As for the camera, the Note 5 to me has a better camera hands down than the iPhone. Not just talking about megapixel count, but the sensor and the overall quality of the pictures. I take pictures of real estate and am always printing poster size prints for development planning so I've had a fair share of putting the cameras up to the test.
For the average Joe, either camera will be more than enough for their social media fixes...however, if you're planning to print your photos the Note 5 does a better job.
