    Samsung products have always been great! The phone is more narrow than the other Notes, but it helps if you have small hands and are texting. Great phone, Great quality camera!

    Brought this phone for my wife (but ended up returning it for the gold one). Being able to take excellent pictures is extremely important to my wife and this phone delivers! I highly recommend watching YouTube videos to learn all the tricks and features.

    I had a Note 3 so I can only compare it to that but the Note 5 is a fantastic phone. After the poor reviews for the Note 4 I thought the Note 5 would not be much better but I was wrong. It is far faster and the screen is much more vibrant than the Note 3. The only two down sides is the fact that you can not add a memory card and the battery is not removable. I had a 16GB card in my Note 3 and I never used it up so I don't have a problem with the 32GB limit. One of the best features is the ability to jump between open applications without having the close the one you are currently in. The Note 3 lets you open two apps at once but it is not easy to jump full screen between them. I love this phone.

    I purchased my phone a few months ago during the black Friday specials. Samsung is my go to for phones now after getting two in a row (Samsung note 3) . I have had iphones, and other android brands but nothing really compares to my experience with Samsung smart phones. Camera takes excellent photos, And the curved design on the back of the phone fits way better in your hand than other phones its size. The one con I have is I sometimes click on the phone from just holding it to hard because of the small bezel from the side of it. For example I sometimes click another song in spotify when trying to lock the phone and put it into my pocket Not that big of a con and might just be the way I hold it.

    I was able to buy this for a friend during the holiday sale. Just like my gf's S6 Edge+ this phone is great. The bigger screen really makes a difference. The S-Pen features are really nice once you learn how to use it. Recommend this and the S6 Edge+ to anybody looking to upgrade their phone from the last 2 years.

    Great to do a multitude of tasks easily with a palm size but larger screen, fast texting with swype key board, s-pen for quick notes, highlighting and writing, quick processing and great camera. The only down side is that the s-pen does break easily if mishandled.

    This is my first Android phone. It is amazing how many tasks it is able to perform and does them very well. In a short time I have started to utilize many of the features on a daily basis for my sales job. The available apps or awesome. It has worked flawlessly. Best phone I have ever owned. Worth the money!!!

    The best phone I have ever owned! Love the size, aluminum frame, picture quality, features, and feel. Along with that, the two guys at best buy that helped me were top notch! Not pushy, helped with my questions, got a new phone and lowered my bill. Thank you! Will be back in another 2 years for another phone.
