This is a comparison between the UV-82 and UV-5R.
UV-82

 Better Feel. I have large hands.
 
 
Larger Keypad Buttons

     Zero at the bottom where it belongs
 
 
Higher Output (Bench Tested with Telewave 44A)
    
VHF  Low: 2.5 Watts High: 5.3 Watts
     UHF  Low: 1.4 Watts High: 3.9 Watts

 
Software 
     CHIRP programming compatible
     OEM converts to English with toolbar dropdown
 
 
Better RX audio quality
     Mellower sound
     Larger speaker in larger case
 
  
Better TX audio quality

     Better mid-level audio frequencies (punchier sound)
     Probably also be due to larger case
 
 
Dual PTT
     Top of PTT selects TX (A). Bottom of PTT selects (B).
     You can still change from RX (A) to (B) using the EXIT/AB key.
 
 
Battery - 1800 mAH
     Note: Since day one, UV-82 batteries have been labeled 2800 mAH.
     This was a confirmed mislabeling from Baofeng factory.

         i.e. antenna, speaker/microphone, programming cables
     Battery and Charger are not.
