Actually Readdle chooses, as they have not made an android version yet.

The note 5 has an amazing built in PDF viewer that works in-house with its s pen.I have zero need to look and install 3rd party apps to use

Which one is it? I seem to remember using it once and I didn't like it at all. But now I Can't seem to find it, unless its PDF Reader , for some reason that app isn't opening.

That's weird on my interenational note 5 I get the option open with write on pdf viewer.

You can even highlight sections and use the keyboard to import text like a type writer did it.

Note a huge fan of the battery life of my Note5. I'll take my phone off the charger in the morning for 20 minutes, then stream a podcast downloaded to my phone for an hour, and I'll already be ~90%.

This has been my biggest disappointment of my Note 5 so far.

I have had this phone for two months now. And the battery life is abysmal. At first I wasn't able to get 18 hours standby with barely 2 hour SOT. There's an issue with WiFi, and you have to disable "Keep Wi-Fi ON during sleep" helped a lot..
After doing that, getting rid of bloatware via Package Disabler Pro, I am able to get through 24 hours, with 4 hours SOT. With "restricted background data" I might get through 36 hours.
WiFi seems, to me, to be the biggest issue.
Here's a screenshot:

I will however admit that my screen brightness is set to 65-70%, non-auto.


If I had an option, I would have returned this phone, and gone with the 6S+.

This is a SM-920I.

I'd also look at the XDA thread about battery life. Someone people are doing much better than me.

That is pretty bad battery life. I have had 2 Note 5s....switched from VZW to TMO recently. But Both of them got between 4.5 and 6 hours SOT routinely.
