    Great large screen smartphone. The larger screen can be a hassle but great for reviewing media.

    This phone is great. I use it everyday for work, email and family. I recommend this phone to anyone who likes a larger screen and the ability to take notes with the S pen.

    I love the Note series phones - have had every single version since the first Note became available. I am going to stick with the 5, even though the 7 was just introduced. The 5 is great, battery life is 10x any other note I have owned, the fast charging is lighting fast, the OS is fast and does not have any quirky problems like the 4 did. Highly recommend this phone to anyone needing a new android.

    This cell phone is very nice. I upgraded frome the samsung galaxy note 1 which lasted me for approximately 4 years and I look forward to this Samsung Galaxy note 5 lasting just as long and even longer. The camera is really great. Overall phone functionality is great.

    The Note 5 is an awesome phone. I enjoy then new action memo feature. Now you don't have to pull out the stylus and then swipe to open the phone. The Lcd screen is great. Everything about the phone is awesome.

    I kept trying Android but there was always something that the manufacturer would not get right that would push me back to the iPhone. The note 5 finally checks all the boxes. I really don't care about removable batteries or sd cards. So now I say goodbye to the iPhone.

    We have a history with Samsung products, and overall this is a great phone. That said, we've had a number of issues with it, and it's difficult to tell whether it's the phone or the Android OS on it. We haven't had these issues with prior phones, but if it's the OS updates, we can't fault the phone.

    This GALAXY NOTE-5 exceeded my expectations of having been a NOTE-4 owner: from battery consumption, to screen resolution, to faster processing.

    My daughter has been wanting this phone ever since it came out. What a deal. She gets what she wants and I get a bonus 250.00 gift card. I couldn't go wrong making the purchase at best buy.
