Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased this Note 5 hoping the performace would remain quick, and features would keep me amused. So far it has not disappointed; you can do the basics with all phones, but this screen has got a crystal clear picture, that is get for watching videos on my break. I really am impressed with the stylus, which allows you to jot down quick notes without even unlocking the phone.

I upgraded from the Note 4 and did notice a significant difference in style, pictures, pixels, stylus capabilities. The most significant and important for me was the size. The Note is slightly smaller than the Note 4 and that made a huge difference in being able to insert the phone in my jean pocket.

Traded in my Samsung Galaxy 4 for this phone. BestBuy had a great promotion and I received a gift card for $200. The gift card paid for my case and a few other items for Christmas gifts. The screen on this phone is larger than my Galaxy 4. So far I love the Note. The stylus is a great asset. Great buy. Only thing I do not like is the phone looks more navy blue than black.

The best phone on the market. Screen is beautiful. Very responsive. Fits better in your hand better because of curved back. Feels smaller in your hand than Note 4.Really like the new Samsung Pay, used it to pay my for my lunch at Chipotle and it was so easy, Just point phone to card reader and done.

I love this phone! I love its size, its speed, and its utility. The battery will last me the entire day when in almost constant use (think GPS for 6 hour trip) and almost 3 days with minimal use. Cruising the internet is a breeze with this phone. Pages download quickly, even with multiple windows open. Is the 'note' feature necessary? No, not really. But it's so much fun!

I upgraded to this phone from the Note 3. Obviously that was a major upgrade for me. The new menu features that come up when taking the pen out are customizable and a excellent feature. The cameras on this phone are simply phenomenal. 20 mp front with a 5mp back. The pictures I take are simply awesome. They look great! The OS is fast, and battery life is outstanding.

Fast as heck, screen is amazing, and very slim for the power it packs

Very fast phone with good battery life, if I just use it as a phone, the battery lasts all day. But if I play games a lot, I do have to charge it. Built in wireless charging and supports faster than normal charging (9V at almost 2A or the equivalent of more than 5V at 3A, about 68% faster than normal). A tiny bit larger than I would like, but still a usable size.

I have had the Note 5 for over a month and I've only had one time where the screen locked and I could not get it to do anything. This seems to be a common problem in Samsung. Before the new editions, Note 5 and Samsung S6, you could take out the battery and restart the device, luckily my wife found a Korean blog that told her to push the power button and lower volume button simultaneously and it will shut off and restart. This worked for my phone and her Samsung S6. The phone has been great other than that one time. The screen is great for apps or watching a tv show or movies. My wife laughs because I use my phone in the house sometimes instead of our TV. The note is great if you have to jot things down during meetings or if your out with a client and don't have a pen or paper. I use it often. It is very good at recognizing your handwriting and I never have a problem with it translating my handwriting to the wrong text. The voice recognition and speech to text is also very good. I've used it a few times in the car with the radio playing and it didn't have a problem. I had a Note 3 previously and never had any problems during the 2 years. I just wish they hadn't sealed the phone so you can't exchange batteries or do a force restart.

Best Phone ever buy ,fast,big,practice beautiful and I love it

Great battery life! I use it for work and personal. I used facebook, maps, instagram, texts, calls and Internet nearly all day long for work with brightness at medium. I started at 4 am and it lasted until 7pm. IPhone and all my other phones gave up by noon with that kind of abuse. Phone is wicked fast too. Best phone you will ever buy.

Coming from a Motorola Moto X (1st generation) phone to this is.....well.....actually, there really is no comparison at all. EVERYTHING about the Note 5 is better. Much better. Especially the larger brighter screen AND camera AND way more options. Anyway, I may never figure this whole thing out. Thank goodness for tech savvy kids.

I love my Note5, I really can't say it enough! Packed with features and unique abilities, this phablet does it all! On the activity side, there's a heart rate, SPO2, and stress monitor, accessible on the back by the camera; plus, there's a built in pedometer that keeps track of your movement throughout the day. All of this is accessible through S health, (that's pre installed) or you can choose a number of other health apps to link it to as well! As for unique abilities, the biggest selling point for me is the S pen. It is so versatile! You can write freehand notes, crop parts of pages to keep instead of having to save and then edit, and you can also select areas that are more precise than you could with a meaty finger. ;) Add to all that a base size of 32gb, with options for bigger memory, this phablet doesn't really miss the expandable memory that it lacks. And the screen! Gorilla glass is amazing! No additional protection needed, and no scratches from wear! Android 5.1.1 has given me no problems, and the google play store has a plethora of add-ons for whatever your preference is. Overall, very satisfied with this wonderful phablet!

I love the new Note 5. It takes incredible pictures and love the features. I had a Note 3 and wasn't happy with it. It took really bad pictures and things just didn't work quite right. The Note 5 is a huge improvement and would recommend it to anyone. If you are on the fence, go ahead and take the plunge, its definitely worth it.

I have had LG's, HTC's and now Samsung since 4s. I have enjoyed all of them, but this is by far my favorite. You have options to download additional camera features from camera menu. You also can use the stylus to take quick notes without turning on the phone.. favorite feature. So far in 2 mon. Has remained quick and efficient

Nice performance, nice features, easy to use, and fast!

This phone is awesome all the way around. The battery is great, camera great, display great, everything is awesome. To make it even better the guy that served me at best buy was so nice and made sure all my questions were answered before i walked out the door!

I've had this iPhone for about a month and a half and I really love this product. The screen is big, the battery last all day. I haven't dropped a call yet. With the note pen and pad option I can make a list of items I need to purchase and attach it to my front screen and see it at the store. Great product, no complaints.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is right for me because it is intuitive, fits in my pocket, screen size is large enough for easy viewing, battery life is good, images are very clear and bright, works well with my Gear 2 Samsung Watch, and the Note Pen is a very nice feature. I owned an S5 previously and this is an improvement.

the best phone i ever buy is fast big wide and nice
