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.

    Some might feel the Note5 is too large, but I've found that the size lends itself to a better experience with pictures, videos, etc. I'm loving the stylus as well! Great for quick notes on the go without having to unlock the phone.

    I love the Note 5. The only downfall is the inability to add memory!

    There are a multitude of things that the Samsung Note 5 is capable of. All have helped me utilize and further understand commutation with cell phones. Have always used Samsung cell phones. If some one would have told me years ago that I would be using a cell phone such as the GALAXY Note 5 at my age I would not have believed them. Highly recommend this phone.

    Samsung has gone down hill over the years, now competing directly with Apple and their line of iPhones. The Note 5 has nowhere near the quality of the Note or Note 2, no removable battery, and no expandable memory. With all that going against Samsung, why would anyone not buy an iPhone? I regret my purchase.

    Upgraded from Sampsung Note3. Can read the Note 5 in sunlight. New calendar is not quite as good, but everything else is terrific.

    This is my third Galaxy, and while friends have tried to convince me to switch to Apple, I see more value here. The big decision this time was versus the S6 plus, but the gimmick screen does not approach the daily utility of the S pen. I am constantly taking notes and marking things up. The screen resolution is beautiful as well. This is my ultimate phone.

    It's so clear and pictures come out great. It charges so fast and lasts a long time. Didn't realize how often I was charging my old phone til I got this one. Great purchase.

    I've always loved the Note phones. The screen is perfect size for multi tasking and the screen resolution is beautiful! And I just love having an attached stylus. Wish I had a memory card slot but other than that no complaints.
