Customer Ratings & Reviews

This phone does everything plus more. Im so happy I went with the Note 5 instead of the iPhone 6s. The versatility is amazing beyond measure, its also lightning fast plus I have complete control to customize the phone to my liking by adding themes an adding widgets that come in handy throughout the day. The capabilities are endless and the S pen is a great tool to have whenever I need to jot something down quickly without opening my device. I can't forget about the Samsung pay that literally works anywhere at any payment machine except gas stations outside pumps. Samsung did great on this Smart Phone two thumbs up!

Married to a tech savvy geek. He upgraded from Note3 to Note5 and thinks it's spectacular.

My son bought this phone first. Easy to move around on the screens. Love the camera. Great clear pics. The size is not to big. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

This phone is amazing. I did hesitate at first because of the fact that they got rid of the additional memory card and battery replacement, however the design is more sleek and looks real good. The phone graphics is amazing and the speed is awesome. The stylus is amazing with the accuracy and writing capabilities. However, once must also keep in mind that I did upgrade my phone from a galaxy note 2.

I was somewhat opposed to getting such a large phone, but it has been a great productivity tool. The pen allows me to take notes on Evernote or OneNote during meetings and is large enough for me to review documents while out. It has not been a noticeable difference to carry around as I thought it would, and it has been the perfect companion for my smartwatch. It is quick to open apps and the while you will have to charge the battery every day, it charges in about 1 hour on the fast charger it comes with, so that is not a big issue.

Always takes great pictures for sharing. Fast processor when using the internet and various apps. Easy to set up personalized features.

I love using the Note 5. It has a great battery life, wonderful camera, and the stylus is perfect for snipping out sections of websites.

I really like the phone, but I think it needs a SD card slot. The size is good and the S pen is great for notes in class or meetings. I love the fingerprint scanner phone lock, it keeps my kids off without my permission.

I like to try new device when they come out and this phone is one to keep i upgraded from a note edge and right away u could tell the difference on how quick the device is, super responsive yes no removable battery and no sd slot but i dont remember the last time i fully loaded my phone and the battery we never take it out anyways but i guess every person is different just saying this phone is worth it

My wife upgraded from a Galaxy S5. She loves the improved camera and larger screen. Plus the improved speed is a bonus.

Love the note 5. Its basically the S6. The size is perfect for my hands. The pen that it comes with is amazing as well. It has a sleek design yet its feels right in the hand. I like that the head phone jack is on the bottom of the phone instead of the top. The fast charge option as well as the wireless charge is fantastic. I have yet to find something that i dont like about the phone.

I researched what phone I wanted to update to and set my mind on the Samsung Galaxy6 edge. When I went into Best buy and actually viewed the Note5 I fell in love. The big screen and awesome camera were the determining factors in choosing the Note5. I have always been a droid person and don't particularly care for Apple products. The Note5 is one of the best phones I've ever owned.

I was hesitant to switch from Apple to Android for my phone. This phone was the one deciding factor that made me switch. Same screen size as iPhone 6s plus but slightly smaller and much better specs for the price. More storage gigs, more ram, better camera, better screen resolution and s-pen. All at a cheaper price.

I am. I'm a big fan of the Note series. It's big, beautiful, and has a clicky stylus. Click, click, CLICKCLICKCLICK. Extra star for clicking stylus. The screen is amazing quality, everything is going to look beautiful. The camera quality feels like quite the upgrade to me, and I tend to shoot on professional quality DSLRs. Touchwiz is always a pleasure, maybe I'm the only one that thinks so. It lost a star from me because it's missing the SD card slot. I grabbed the 64 GB version, which is typically all the space I'll use, so it balances out. I know I'll eventually fill it, hence the star removal. I'm also not a fan of the glass build. I'm just afraid I'll ruin it, so I have to baby the phone. I'm probably alone in this, but I miss the plastic. I'm sure you'll see it differently, the glass and metal REALLY look nice. Compatibility with Gear VR is a plus, and it operates better on the Note 5 than it does on the S-series teeny tiny phones. (They're not so tiny anymore, gawl.) Try not to have a ton of things running, it WILL get hot. Not as hot as the S6/7, fortunately. I suppose that's all, I'm sure if you're looking into this phone you already made up your mind. Either it's too big, or it's the most amazing piece of love ever. BUY IT. FORGET THE MISSING STAR, just buy it.

I love the phone, great picture. I love the new pen. Fast charge really helps. I only wish it held a memory card.

This phone is very fast! Screen size is perfect for browsing or watching even movies.the stylus it's very handy!

Excellent phone. I have no complaints. Battery is great. Screen is beautiful. It's fast and responsive.

The Note 5 is a stellar phone. I switched to it from my iPhone 5s, and it was definitely worth it. The phone has such powerful hardware, that the UI never feels laggy, or stuttery. It's very fluid and smooth, which for me was a big deal. The camera is just ridiculous. This phone takes the most impressive pictures of any smartphone that I have ever seen. The camera is stunning, even in very low light areas. You can enter a 'pro mode' which allows you to manipulate the shutter speed. Decreasing the shutter speed makes the sensor absorb more light, and in turn, provide a beautiful night shot. It can record in 4K UHD video, and take 1080p video in 60 FPS, which makes for a more natural looking video. The screen is incredible. Because it's an AMOLED, it can display deeper blacks, which make other colors really pop, especially when you're watching a movie. I don't feel strained watching Netflix on this screen. All in all, very satisfied with this phone, and definitely recommend this.

When I read that the note5 had no SD card slot and no removable battery, I was disappointed. However, now that I have it, the battery life is fantastic! I am a heavy user and would kill my battery by 5pm (SGS4), now the lowest my battery has reached is 40% (no power saving mode) by 10pm!! I did opt for the larger 64Gb unit since there is no expansion. The build is rock solid! Screen is awesome, bright and vivid colors.
