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.

    Very fast charger, great photos, good App Store. One warning, I had to change the way I hold the phone during a call. The microphone/speaker is located at the bottom of the phone next to the pen. I always used that spot to cradle the phone in my hand. Took me a week to figure out why the other party on the call thought the call was dropping.

    This phone is perfect for someone with big hands. The pen also helps if you are watching a movie and need to fast forward or rewind

    Hands down. Apple's touch screen is still top notch compare to Samsungs. Android does have way more apps. But for daily email and text messenger. I recommend iphone all day long.

    Not one complaint about this device type from the client, so my guess is that it is working a lot better than the Note 4.

    Works similar to last phone. I don't use many features of this phone...Facebook, check e-mail, check weather, use calculator and calendar. It does what I need.

    Really like the Note 5. I am coming from a Windows 8 phone. My windows 8 phone was faster and easier to use. But for a Android phone i really like the features. The best part of the Note 5 is the wireless radio, both WiFi and Cellular are much stronger then other phones i have used.
