Positive feedback also highlights the phone's features, design, and performance. However, some users expressed disappointment over the lack of expandable storage and the absence of an SD card slot.

    I've always loved Samsung products and wanted to stick with Android so after reading reviews carefully, I decided to purchase this phone. I love the stylus and the phones usability. The only downside at the moment is the large size of the phone.

    I had the Galaxy S4 prior to this and it was getting a little slow. The storage and the processing speed on the s6 was definitely and upgrade and handles all my phone needs!

    Mobile office and so much more, just a great product, don't let the size scare you, after a day all small phones seem like children's toys. And it fits in all my pockets...

    Went from using the note 4 to this phone. Love the color but wish it still came with removable back/battery as well as expandable memory. So far loving this phone more with everyday use.

    Took the switch from iphone 6 to this phone. It is fast and great for business use and multitasking. If you just want simple go iPhone, if you want multitasking and shortcuts use Note.

    I love my Note5. The larger screen is perfect and easy to navigate, without being overwhelming. The only drawback is the SPen can come out without you noticing. I already lost mine.

    I love this phone. This is way better than the Note 4. I'm not sure why but I can't search online while a call is in progress...but other than that it works great!

    The camera is an improvement over the Galaxy S4. Lollypop OS now supports folders for organizing apps. Home button has finger print reader as a means of security.

    Purchased the phone as a gift for my son. He loves the phone and all the features. Definitely glad I chose the Note 5 versus the Edge. He loves having the stylus.

    The Samsung - Galaxy Note5 is the best phone you can buy with your money, it is packed with features and the s-pen is the best part for jotting down quick notes.

    Phone is great; camera is incredible. My friend's iPhone could not take pictures in a dark room, but the Note 5 was fantastic. Light weight and easy to handle.
