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 would be in love if this had expandable memory... I can live without removable battery but man I miss my 128gb SD card. Otherwise it's a typical Note and has some great features.

    This is an excellent product, a great choice for a beginner or an advanced user. You can simplify the way you use this phone or explore more advanced settings and features. I can't get over the clarity of the Note 5's screen as well. My parents could remove their glasses and see a clearer picture on the Note 5 than their ipad products. There's always something new to explore with this phone, you can explore the help app for all the features or easily access YouTube tutorials.

    It charges quickly and battery lasts a long time. I am still learning all it can do. Having a small problem with freezing up and having to restart. Overall I like this phone.

    I purchased this phone for my mother who was transitioning to a smart phone for the first time. She loves this phone and finds it very easy to use. It has many different functions including the stylus which makes it easier to use if you have trouble with the touch screen. I would recommend this phone to anyone!
