    I chose the Note 5 for my upgrade because I enjoyed all of the features of the Note 2. I'm very happy with the new design for the stylus, the camera, and the fast charging capability. The only downside is the battery life. Putting it in power saving mode has helped a lot.

    The phone is great, though the size was a bit intimidating. it kept falling out of my pockets when I would sit down. Most of my clothing has smaller sized pockets. The customization of just about everything was a cool feature at times felt overwhelming. I ended up returning the phone I just could not get use to the size and I felt as if people were looking onto my phone easier when I would read emails or text messages.

    Great smartphone but stylus (S pen) flimsy; broke during normal use during 5th week of ownership. They are a fairly expensive accessory; online between $35-60 plus s/h.. Best Buy does not stock these for sale, and Samsung tried to get out of replacing this item because their manufacturer 1 year warranty does not cover physical damage! My wireless service (Verizon) rep also tried to frighten me about the hundreds of dollars I would pay to request a replacement when the item is not under warranty. Bottom line: do not press too hard with your S pen.

    This phone was an upgrade over a Note 3 and Excels in every area except cost. Replaced the need for a more conventional camera for great pics.
