Customers are saying

Customers are pleased with the Galaxy Note5's camera quality, screen size, and battery life, with many praising its ease of use and the included stylus and S Pen. 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.

    I'm happy with the Note 5. My only complaint is the battery life. I don't use my phone a lot during the day, but I have to charge it every night. Not a big deal, just hoped for a better battery.

    I upgraded from the Note 3. The camera capabilities are different and the 360 is not on this phone. I would say this is my one disappointment.
