    It took me 2 hours to figure out how to install the simcard. It is not installed the same as on the Note 4. Other than that and the fact that it didnt have the Smart Remote application, one of my favorites. I like it.

    Alot of functionality. Very customizable. It is pretty much something that is all in one. The stylus function is a plus too!

    The biggest downfall is that it kept freezing ! The phone is very large and very sleek but the processor I assume just wasn't all that. I made a return on it

    Overall I would say it has the Samsung dependability and reliability. But it is missing some of the great things that the note from previous years had like the remote capabilities and other minor things.

    Love it, everything positive about it, "except" When you pay FULL retail price for it, you still have to contact carrier to get it unlocked & you are still stuck with spam apps installed by the carrier.
