    My wife and I upgraded from a Galaxy S4. Love the new features the note 5 comes with. Larger screen, s pen, battery life is great even though battery is smaller than the note 4. Great camera rear and front facing. Little bummed out there was not a slot for extra memory. But other than that great phone.

    Good screen resolution. Not as fast as HTC or as much memory. Not sure I would go with samsung again.

    I have had the phone a few months now. Still seems a little heavy with a case but not too bad. Camera works well. Very fast loading pages and downloading content. Only minuses are battery life could be better. I wish there was still a removable battery and sd card. Also wish i didnt have to worry that if i happen to accidently put the stylus in backwards it will permanently damage phone. Overall i am satisfied and would recommend.

    This phone will be mine 6th phone purchased from Samsung. Love it and quickly adapting to the lack of micro SD storage. There are ways around it and on the Best Buy website. The display is bright, crisp and sharp. The bells and whistles with the Note line is on task responsive and intuitive .

    Being a Galaxy S4 owner I was already planning to upgrade to another Samsung product. This Note 5 is so far so good! This product is amazing. The deal offered at Best Buy was fantastic!! The customer service was also fantastic!!

    Great phone. I had a Note 3 and went to the 5. The 5 is alot better, and the 3 was great already, I also liked the Curve 6, but opted for the Note 5 due to the S pen, even though I hardly use it The camera is amazing. Samsung makes great phones and tablets, you cannot go wrong.

    Note 5 seems to have it all, a beautiful screen, faster processor, and some great features like note writing while screen is off with stylus which is very handy and saves battery life. Highly recommend the phone.

    This phone has only two negative points you can't remove the battery and it isn't water resistant, also it would be nice the screen was unbreakable. Other than that it is the fastest most advance phone I have ever come across, haven't had any problems with it at all.

    I was hesitant to buy this coming off an iphone but have found some good features that I like. It is easier to take pictures and have good shots. it is also easier to receive and send emails than the iphone.

    I'm a long time owner of the Galaxy Note. I've owned all except the four. I like the wireless charging technology, could make it a little better since most of us have cases on our phones. Otherwise a great phone and will continue to stick with the Galaxy Note family.

    I've had my note 5 for a few months now and so far it's not been a bad purchased. I switched from the galaxy a series because they have hit a wall when it comes to new and improved features. The note 5 has a very smooth multi tasking ability which I've come to thoroughly enjoy and over all it has been a much better phone than my s 5. I would recommend it to anyone wanting more from a phone

    Upgraded from my Note 4 and loving my Note 5. Something minor that I noticed is that I can't change the number of times I can hit snooze on the alarm clock. Guess I need to get up on the 1st notification.

    I love my Note 5 still trying to figure out how to work some of the features as I transition over from my Note 3 but it's a really nice phone and much lighter and sleeker then the 3. My battery still drains a little quicker than what I would like but not sure if that's the phone or the amount of space that I consume with everything that I have on my phone. Overall really nice device.

    I replaced a Galaxy S3 with this phone. It's taken a little while to get used to the size. Very imprested with the display. My main requirement was battery life, as I use several apps that run all the time. Battery life has been more than satisfactory.

    I am really happy with my decision to upgrade from my Note 4. I'm truly impressed with the upgrades and realized that I am not missing the removable battery or the need for a memory card. My 64g suits me just fine and the battery life..... Amazing!!!!!

    Love my new Samsung Galaxy Note 5! This phone is so easy to use! I like the ability to view dual tabs, it makes life easier. Love the available apps, like Spotify! The pen is awesome, I like to doodle or you can personalize messages, sign documents.
