    Note 5 is not a phone. It is a mini computer that you can make calls on.

    Was completely happy with samsung s5 but best buy was running a deal I couldn't refuse. Bought the Note 5 and am happy with everything about this phone except the durability. It seems fragile compared to my old s5. Dropped once screen cracked and display gone. Replaced (for 150 because Verizon raised insurance deductable) and fell in love all over again. If you want a simple phone this isn't for you. I have not even begun to tap into the phones capabilities.
