    The Galaxy Note 5 from Samsung is one of the best phone to come out this year, the build quality is superb it has just right weight to it and the screen is so crisp, camera is amazing and the multitasking is amazing

    I'm very hard on phones. They normally don't last more than a year. However, my Note 3 held up pretty good. So of course, I couldn't wait for the 5 to drop. It's been everything plus more than I bargained for!

    My two kids have been using Samsung smart phone or the last few years. Their main complaint is that it breaks down so easily. This Samsung Note 5 is completely empty. It's feels sturdier and a lot better .

    I'm a Note fan. Always have been. The Note 5 was an upgrade from my Note2. Without the microsd card this was a slightly less compelling upgrade but it has a great screen and of course the stylus. After a week tho... And learning that I can't root my note. This has become a much more functional than fun device.

    Wow! Does everything I had hoped for. The extra gig comers in handy (64GB) model and I am really enjoying the larger screen and the s-pen for notes.

    The processor is quick, I hardly notice when there are a lot of apps left running because it has so much available RAM! Excellent battery life too..

    I had an iPhone 4s prior to this galaxy note 5. I did not think the note 5 is difficult to use. This is my second smartphone! I absolutely love it.

    I was a little reluctant after reading some of the reviews about lack of the removable SD card & battery. I purchased the 64GB so I would have adequate storage & the battery life has been great!

    I had the note 3 before buying Note 5. Big upgrade! Easier to hold. Camera is really nice! Took a class at Best Buy and learned different uses for the stylus. Among other things. Highly recommend you do that if you need more info on the great things you can do with this phone. It really helped me.

    Great phone. I have no issues that I didn't already read about or expected. The issues it may have are minuscule and cause me no worries because of my confidence in my Best Buy Insurance plan.

    This phone is absolutely awesome! The only thing I don't care for is that the new Galaxy phones don't have media card slot or a removable battery. However, other than that, the phone is great!

    Excellent phone, you can do many things, still learning as I go. You can do so much more than an IPhone, easier to transfer data & pictures, no more transfers that duplicate. Love this phone.

    Moving from the galaxy s series to the note is a big upgrade, for me with travelling watching shows on the plane, or taking notes as i travel was more easy with the quick launch note function.

    The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is an awesome fast phone that has far exceeded my expectations. The curvature of the back glass fits nicely into your hand and makes it easy to operate with one hand.
