I absolutely love this phone! Yes they removed the SD card and removable battery but with apps such as Google photos, drive, etc you aren't losing out, just back up all your information.
The reps were very helpful in transferring all my data from my old phones SD card to this phone and updating it to the back up storage.
The battery is amazng! I can go all day, surfing the web, using apps, netflix, etc and my battery still lasts. Definitely a major difference than that of the LG G4. I could use the G4 for three to four hours and need to charge it because the battery would be drained.
The camera during the day is pretty good but at night depending on the lighting can be hit or miss.
I never thought I would really use my SPen but I find myself using it all the time. It's absolutely amazing!
The size and build of this phone is spot on. It is a bigger phone but not big to the point that that it's awkward to handle. It's actually smaller than the note 4 and easy to use with one hand.
All in all this is an amazing device. Don't get hung up on the fact that there isn't a removable battery or SD card because there are plenty of things that make up for that change. I will suggest getting a 64g and not 32g....just my opinion. Really hate they didn't do a 128g but so far my 64g isn't even halfway full with all my apps so I'm not complainig.

Build quality is very nice and great performance. The main reason I upgraded from my Note 4 was the VR feature and it feels very nice in my hand. This phone is quick and TouchWiz feels different and lighter than the previous phones, it doesn't slow down the user experience. The wireless charging feature is also great, it's fast and convenience.
I bought the VR goggles along with this phone and it is the best experience yet!

My wife and I debating getting the Note 5 vs. the S6 Edge+. While the Edge looked cool, the cons outweighed the pros for it. It mainly boiled down to the fact we want (need) the tempered glass screen protector. With the edge you have to go with the wrap around plastic, or a glass one that doesn't cover the edge (and we thought that would look dorky). The few people we talked to with the edge models really didn't make use of the edge, either. So, we both got the Note 5 and haven't regretted it.
I don't use the stylus too often, but when I do it's very handy. Screen shots and editing are super easy with the stylus, and it also helps a lot in some apps when you need to make fine selections with not-so-fine fingers.
If I lost this phone today and had to buy another, I'd still get this phone.

I have had multiple iPhones before deciding to switch to a Samsung. I like the themes that come with the phone, and it downloads PDF's easily. This phone seems like it would be a good work phone for a business person, the stylus that comes with it is handy and works very well. The phone is bright and the auto adjust is a nice feature. The one drawback is that if you take a picture vertically with the camera, you cannot view it horizontally without the picture getting all distorted and compressed. Unlike with an iPhone, where the phone self adjust and rotates the pictures as you turn the phone.

Samsung really did a great job with the camera and the whole phone in general, but whoa! The pictures are definitely the selling point for me. Then you throw in the S pen as icing on the cake. It took some getting used to at first because I'm coming from a smaller nexus 5 so the extra real-estate made it a lil difficult for one handed use but I'm getting the hang of it now.

Had an iPhone previously and hated it. Compared the new range of Samsung phones and surprisingly settled for this one which was not something I thought I would buy. Salesman was very knowledgable and provided excellent information for comparison. This phone does what I want plus more! Easy to use, no frustrations over trying to find things and implement what I want and have not had fits of rage wanting to throw it at the wall.

This note 5 is very intuitive for me who is not techno savy coming from a note 2. After playing around for few minutes, I notice this screen is very sharp and the responsiveness is very instint. And of course, the pictures are awesome!!! You can magnify the pictures and it's still very clear. When watching Utube on the 4k, you can see the facial features!!!

Very productive phone, has all that u need for acomplish any daily task.
For all ppl that are complaining about no SD card slot and nonremovible battery. I suggest first the memory is easy to fix, when running out of memory get a otg cable that u can plug a USB flash and transfer it file.
For nonremovible batery there's a lot of options for example ( get a 2.0 faster car charger, a external 2.0 quick batery ) it's take only 15 min for charge around 50%. Or when u know that u going to travel far and no way to charge use the power saving mode
And about pros ( a tons) the redesign in the stylus and in the action memo , the off screen taken note, more memory ram, built in wireless charging, new selfie options in the front camera, etc etc
The TouchWiz ui look clean and beautiful.
The cons ( a few) as usual the pre-installed apps (bloadware) that u cannot delete only disable.
The back cover of the phone that can easy get full of fingerprints
