Earlier today we covered the best accessories for Samsung’s Galaxy S6 Edge Plus, and now we’re looking at the other side of the 4.7-inch Samsung coin: the Galaxy Note 5. This phone isn’t available in the UK and Europe, but it is available in the US… so let’s look at what Note 5 accessories we can recommend for this top-performing phone!
5. Official Samsung Fast Wireless Charging Pad
One of the few big upgrades between Samsung’s early and late 2015 phones was the inclusion of fast wireless charging, bringing Qi charging to heretofore unseen speeds. This official charging pad is a critical piece of the puzzle, allowing you to unlock those high speeds that allow full recharging in just two hours. That’s miles better than past designs, and really helps to sell wireless charging as a convenient alternative to traditional wired charging.
4. Aukey Dual USB Quick Charge 2.0 Car Charger
The Aukey Dual USB car charger is another good way to quickly recharge your phone, minimising the time you’ll need to spend waiting around. This particular charger supports Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 2.0 standard, using a higher voltage to deliver faster charging. It also has two USB ports – one marked QC 2.0, the other 2.4A – which allow you to simultaneously charge another device at rapid speeds.
3. Olixar Screen Protector 5-in-1 Pack
The Note 5 has a beautiful 5.7-inch display, even without the curves of its Edge brother. To protect it, you’ll need a screen protector. This basic option from Olixar is a good choice, offering a perfect fit and a slick plastic screen protector to absorb scratches and knocks. The pack comes with 5 protectors in the pack, so you can dole them out to your Note 5 toting friends, or just use them as replacements when your current protector gets too damaged. For a more protective option, consider looking at tempered glass Note 5 screen protectors, coming soon!
2. Aukey Portable 10,000mAh Quick Charge 2.0 Power Bank
The Galaxy Note 5 loses the removable battery of its predecessor, so for extra power on the go you’ll have to rely on a portable charger. This option from Aukey is quite strong, with a large 10,000mAh capacity and Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 capabilities. That means extremely rapid recharging, with enough charge to last for three complete recharges. Not bad at all, right?
1. Ultimate Accessory Pack
Our final item once again is the Ultimate Accessory Pack, which provides everything you need to get up and running with your new phone. The pack includes a FlexiShield case for the Note 5, 2 screen protectors (as covered above), a car holder and charger, a, a car charger and car holder, a desk stand and a mini desk stand that also doubles as a stylus. That’s six different items for just £20, down from a combined RRP of over £50 – not bad value, eh?
Conclusion
