Samsung made some big improvements to its Note line with the Galaxy Note 5. The Exynos 7420 processor is super powerful, the 16MP rear camera can take some great shots, and overall, the phone just feels much more premium than Note devices have in the past. But one of the most notable features that’s new to the Note 5 is called Screen Off Memo, which allows you to jot down a quick note when the screen is off. Simply eject the S Pen from the device, begin writing on the screen, and press the save button – it really couldn’t be any more simple than that.
