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 previously had the Note 3, which I liked just fine right up until it started freaking out on me. It eventually just died and never responded again. The Note 5 is full featured and I love that I could still get a phone with a stylus. I use the new fingerprint feature and Samsung Pay. LOVE it! I like being able to quickly see what apps are open and I really like being able to have more than one "window" open simultaneously.

    Upgrading from a Note 3, Note 5 is still the best phone the market, after underwhelming phones being released this year under the verizon umbrella. Only complaint is battery life, since i heavily use my phone. The wired charge is still quite good.

    Great phone. Love the features and benefits that come alone with it. However, like most phones, the screen is much too fragile. I haven't yet purchased a screen protector, and I have minor scratches on the screen just from my denim pocket.

    My old phone failed me so I needed a new phone fast. I wanted something stylish and feature rich. The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 has been nearly perfect. The only negative is that did does not sllow web access while using talking on the phone.
