    Silver metallic color is superb and it does stand out from others. Initially i bought edge plus gold. However, it had some microphone issues. Searched online and found it is common for edge plus. Returned it and waited. Saw deal on note 5 for this excellent color for $680 and i could not resist. Overall i would recommend this product (Definitely over high price 6s plus). Bought it from east hanover best buy in NJ. After few days B&H listed it for $600. Asked for price match at east hanover. They denied. Sales supervisor was rude and employees do not care about customers. Especially in pick up and on check out counter. I had similar experience for other purchases also. I found daniel from tech services helpful. However, he had limited access. I went to bridewater best buy and they did price match for me without any question. So awesome. Staff is very friendly and i recommend shopping at bridgewater best buy.

    First off, Best Buy had an amazing deal on this phone. I can't keep my hands off of it. The phone does so much. The only negative is the battery doesn't last long but that's probably because I can't keep my hands off it!

    Productivity Powerhouse

    After attempting to make do with other premium Android smart phones, returning to the Note 5 was the only option to meet my productivity needs. I would give the Note 5 five stars if Samsung had thought to include the a micro SD option as in the S7 phones. However, with cloud storage being so readily abundant I can deal with the 32GB model. Looking forward I don't believe that I'll upgrade to a note 6 since the beautify, productivity functions and battery life of the Note 5 are so pleasing. It would take a drastic change in the design of the phone to persuade my thinking. The new S Pen and new S note give the Note 5 an edge that no other phone can provide. When you factor in the amazing 5.7" screen on the phone, that is a lot smaller than the bodies of other smart phones in the Note 5's class, this phone ultimately is one of the top 4 smartphones on the market. In regards to colour, the gold Note 5 is a beauty but is somewhat flashy for business use, the silver model can pass, but is a finger print and smudge magnet. I never considered white, but hands down the black sapphire model is my favorite! In darker areas the phone appears black, but in the light you see the beautiful sapphire blue, complimented by the silver metal frame. It's like owning 2 phones in one. The S Pen can serve as very handy navigational tool while using the phone for casual use, it opens up many menus and features that you won't see using standard touch alone. The sPen actually afforded me the ability to write and edit this extended review directly from my Note 5. Considering how much I rely on iCloud drive for storage, an app that would integrate usage of icloud files on Androids would be a killer feature. Microsoft has already done so with OneNote, I'm sure Apple can do the same. I love the Note 5 despite the missing micro SD option, and would recommend this phone to anyone, especially those who to need produce documents and other multimedia presentations using their smartphones as a starting point, to be finished later on a laptop or bigger screen computing device. However, what makes the Note 5 so appealing and relevant is that you can produce and print fantastic products directly from your phone. Like the iPhone, Samsung has certainly created and refined their Note product line to function as pocket sized PC's.

    The Galaxy Note 5 is a super sleek and fast phone that can help you multitask by many ways. This phone allows you to use many apps at once through split-screen view, screenshot with the swipe of a screen, and take notes with the included S-pen.
