Anytime, anywhere!

We’ve all become extremely dependent on technology to keep us in touch and connected, but what if a device could improve your quality of life beyond just checking your emails securely and texting friends?

Technology is a constant in our lives – even if what we do with it is continually changing. While we’ve gotten used to it keeping us in touch 24/7, now there’s so much more a smartphone can do for you than keep you up to speed on your social networks. The Samsung Galaxy Note5 is not just a pretty face, or screen, although the 5.7 inch Super AMOLED display is pretty fantastic. This phablet is all about improving the quality of life on every level, no matter what the task at hand is. We so often associate our smartphones with staying in contact with the office, keeping on top of e-mails and documents and fielding queries when we are not at our desks, but innovative technology and the right device can add to one’s life in many other ways. After all, life isn’t all work and no play. With the huge surge of interest in cooking produced by internationally renowned shows, many of us now choose to unwind by cooking – whether it’s a quick midweek dinner, brunch with friends on the weekend or a sumptuous Sunday afternoon baking marathon. The Note5 easily allows you to search for new recipes and cuisines online and plan your menus digitally. Searching for exciting new ideas becomes even more fun with the Scroll Capture function – it takes screenshots of lengthy screen images, so it’s super-convenient and easy to keep images of that multiple-ingredient recipe in one shot. Of course, if you didn’t shoot it, it didn’t happen. Humble bragging about that spectacular three-tier cake is so much more satisfying when an advanced camera system lets you produce the best images possible for your Instagram feed. With a host of new filters and clever features like smart optical image stabilisation and auto real-time high dynamic range (HDR), everyone’s a pro capable of producing eye-catching images guaranteed to boost your ‘likes’ and ‘klout’. What brings everything together is the Note5’s S Pen. When you have that flash of inspiration about how to incorporate rhubarb into all three courses of your upcoming dinner party, it’s a snap to capture that burst of ideas using the S Pen. After all, when was the last time you had a pen and paper at hand? It’s far easier to grab your ever-present smartphone and scribble a quick memo using Screen Write or Action Memo. It’s so user-friendly that you don’t even need to turn the phone on – just grab the S Pen and write on the screen. Best of all, the pressure sensitivity and accurate pen tip makes it feel just like you’re writing or drawing IRL. We are used to having tools that allow us to make notes on PDFs, edit spreadsheets and multitask across windows, but the S Pen is the link between the 2D digital world and the 3D physical one. Regardless of how you are using your smartphone, security remains a top priority – you wouldn’t want anyone to know that your to-die-for chocolate cake is actually a celebrated baker’s recipe, after all. A built-in fingerprint scanner is instant peace of mind, with the added bonus that you won’t have any embarrassing #TBT pics posted by a mischievous mate (or toddler)! It’s all about making life easier, more integrated and fun and with the right smartphone in your hand, you’ve got everything you need to manage that elusive work-life balance.
