    Phone is amazing I love it. I upgraded from a note 2 and it was worth the wait for the new phone. Only downfall is at&t new next program. I don't like the fact that they are charging full price tacked onto ur bill.

    This is an Awesome phone by Samsung, but it is degraded by Samsung, by not including expandable memory and IR blaster - Remote control. I use this feature quite often to control my electronics. I am missing it.

    Great phone, best I've had in a long time. Don't need unlimited storage bc I back up pics etc on my hard drive. The interface, speed, and customization is just amazing, this will be a phone I keep for awhile.

    I wanted to upgrade my phone and stick to the S5 phone but I have been looking at the NOTE 5 and wanted to try it. I am glad I did. I've had this phone for three months and I really like it, much better than the S5. It just gives me more productivity. I love the fact that I can write for notes. I was a little disappointed at first since you have to create an image in order to write over it but I got used to it and I really like it. It helps when you are up and about and have no where to write notes. Now, I know why it is called a Note! Size is not a big deal but I like it.

    I like the note 5 but I wish Samsung had kept the removable battery and memory card option. Not really a big difference between the note 4 and 5.

    I really like everything about the note 5 cell phone. The best thing about the cell phone is the pen. You can even take notes with the phone turned off. It is great!! Thank you Samsung.

    Samsung delivered another wonderful product. It doesn't have as much bloatware as in the past allowing the phone to be very nimble as I run it through the gambit of multitasking. I would recommend this product to any professional that needs the ability to multitask on the go.

    I really like the versatility compared to my prior phones. It is much easier to just go to the app store & download apps. It has a larger screen and much better volume.

    I have been Apple fan until they started copying Samsung so I bought a Note5 to compare. The Note is clearer, faster and smarter and I will never go back to Apple
