That is my 1st thought, Aussie. This must be how they achieve the battery life with a smaller battery.
Remember how in the early days of Android, people liked using task killers like Advanced Task Killer and Manager? and you could set them to be very aggressive? Its like Samsung has programmed their RAM manager to be like that.
If that is what it is, then Samsung are in trouble, as many tech reviewers, bloggers etc.. are talking about this, and if Apple catch wind of this they will point it out at the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus launch that their new phones with 2GB RAM can keep more apps in memory/multitask better than their closest competitor who has double the RAM.
With the new iPhones said to be coming with 2GB DDR4 RAM and Multiwindow, I bet Apple will have a bit to say WRT multitasking. Samsung have dropped the ball at the worst time.

To be honest tsepz if this is battery life related I would much rather have a less stellar battery life with better multi tasking. I imagine constant reloading gets tiring quite easily . Now the iPads are slightly better but I remember when it was happening , it was quite frustrating . I really hope they fix this , with the new quick ways to charge battery they don't need to sacrifice the overall user experience. Especially at these astronomical prices they are charging

I don't know whether the regional restrictions are in place. The prices I saw were US$796 or about $23,000 Taiwanese.
To me Samsung is doing an overall poor job with an otherwise great phone. Poor job in terms of not selling in the EU, not enough available ROM for power users, not all colors available in all countries. They are beginning to look like a new start up company trying to get their footing.
I want to get the Titanium Silver and don't know where to find it. Poor job Sammy.

Thanks skblakee
Hopefully that price is for the 64 gb version? If you end up buying it it should show on the box. I am surprises the silver version is not easily available - as you said Samsung should make more effort
Although I wouldn't have bought it I am still disappointed Samsung is ignoring EU- I would much prefer Note 5 to Edge 6 plus. I think Edge is a good choice to have but should not superseded note . Anyway I am a bit over it. It is a shame as it seems to have a few nice features. Signing the pdf is certainly a smart function
If you end up getting one it would be interesting to hear your thoughts

That is weird, PhoneArena said it did better than the Note 4 at battery, yet GSMArena have found that it falls behind both the Note 4's runs:
Note 4 KitKat:
Note 4 Lollipop:

It's not weird, it just shows that different testing methods can give slightly different results.
Both PhoneArena and GSMArena use their own settings when testing battery life so the difference probably comes from the methodology used and not the device itself, although it is always possible that they used different S/W versions and one had optimized battery life while the other didn't.

I also don't think it is weird. There is no bullet proof scientific test for battery so I am not surprised the results are different . also as said above a number of factors could influence the test result . Still with a smaller battery than Note 4 the results achieved are great
