If you find that your Note 5 has gone completely unresponsive, and it won't turn on when you press the Power button, don't panic. Potential solutions: Hold down Power and Volume down together for around ten seconds. The Note 5 should vibrate and reboot.

The Note 5's rear camera shoots 4K video at 30 frames per second and 1080p video at 60 frames per second, though the limited storage space is a key concern if you're capturing 2160p video files. The good news is that footage in either resolution looks great.
