    I switched from galaxy S4 to note 5, so the performance feels amazing to me. The stylus is useful and phone is very fluid to use.

    Its a good phone. That a big screen. I like to use the pen , it makes things very easy. I really enjoy this phone as an upgrade over my s4. The SPay feature is hit and miss, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.

    Great camera and loaded with features. The battery life seems more than adequate. Can't wait to explore all it can do. Only wish the phone would work better in fringe areas. If that were improved I'd give it 5+stars.

    Much faster than my note 4 was. The new all glass styling is very nice also, much better than the note 4's plastic back.

    I was a little weary about upgrading from my Galaxy S4 to the Note 5. I took advantage of the free wireless charging pad by pre-buying the Note 5. The demo model is really what made me jump on this. The display is gorgeous. There are a few things I miss from my S4, but nothing major. I have had zero problems with phone calls, and it maintains a charge a lot longer than I would have thought.
