Customers are saying

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. The non-removable battery was also a point of concern for some customers.

    The stylus pen dropped out of the holder and I can't find it. Samsung does not have them available. My warranty does not cover it b/c it is labeled an accessory. I have not had the phone 3wks. The stylus is a major selling point for this phone. Please make sure your stylus is secured! I predict the stylus will be a big concern for purchasers.

    Wasn't even time for an upgrade, but I was always chasing a charge with my S4. Best Buy had a deal where I could upgrade for $9 more a month on my cell bill and get a $200 gift card. I bought the otter box, a wireless blu ray player, HDMI cable and a flash drive for $13 AND got the Note 5. Love making notes on something I always have with me.

    Love the phone. Had the note2 for years and the pen never fell out. with the new design the pen has fallen out twice. I found it once but not the second time. So be careful with that $20-30 pen!!!!

    It's basically just like my note 4 without the expandable memory.. could have been better. Doesn't wireless charge well. Flip cases get stuck
