    I've always been a Samsung owner but was thinking about getting the iPhone 6+ for the size. Decided to get this phone instead and I don't regret my decision!

    I just replaced my Note 2 with the Note 5. I love it! Not only is the phone great - as was my Note 2, but the pictures taken with this phone are really good!

    I had the note2 and finally decided to upgrade so it was a no brainer to get the newest note. It has so many functions and just an easy phone to use. Love it.

    I like that it is pretty much a tablet. Perfect for my hand size. Might be too big for those with smaller hands.

    Love this Note 5 as it does everything my tablet does and more. For example, the S Pen is great for keeping organized notes and reminders, it gets rid of paper. The camera is the top of the line with sharp crisp pictures and the "verbal command " feature helps in focusing when shooting a shot. Very pleased and everything that I expected. Samsung hit a home run with this one.

    Battery lasts a full day and it's nice that Samsung got rid of the plastic frame. Does everything I need. 32gb is plenty of storage for my media library.

    Had the note 4 previous to this phone a few very good improvements thought the lack of SD card would be an issue but the hundred gigs of cloud storage makes up for it.
