    It is big, but that makes it easier to see, and i can load more icons on the front page, so i don't need so many pages to flip though to get the icon i need. this is my first note, and i have much to learn, but i'm having fun doing it! camera is great too.

    I purchased this device a long with a second one in black for my brother. Him and I both love it very much. It charges quite fast, very user friendly, the camera is nice and has great options if you like to be more precise and have instant filters in your picture taking, the speakers are loud and clear, and the S pen works wonderfully. I also love how when you pull out the s pen it automatically brings up the s pen menu. This makes it fast and easy to accomplish any task you need to do with the S Pen. I also love the scroll option for screenshots. This makes it easier so I can take a screenshot of a full page without having to manually scroll myself and take individual screenshots.

    I WAS INTIMIDATED WITH THE THOUGHT OF HAVING TO PURCHASE AND USE A NEW SMART PHONE; BUT MY FEARS WERE QUICKLY ALLEVIATED. THIS PHONE IS NOT ONLY VERY EASY TO USE, BUT ALSO THE CLARITY OF THE PICTURES TAKEN WITH THIS PHONE ARE SO NICE THAT NOW ALL MY FAMILY REQUESTS I TAKE PICS WITH MY PHONE AND SEND TO THEM

    The note 5 is easy to use even though it has so many wonderful apps. I'm still learning how to use each one of them but I am fascinated by all it can do. The camera takes excellent pictures. I can use my stylus to doodle, draw and write then attach to a text or email. I definitely recommend buying one.

    So much faster! Took several pictures on a hike, and the next day a video of them along with music was in my notifications! Magic!! Found the video creating app and have had fun making my own, very easy. Camera is much more stable than Note 3 I had.Just in time for exploring Sawtooth Mountains. Battery life is ok, recharges much faster if you shut it off, like in 10 -15 mins!! They went back to old charger, not the 2 part plug like on Note 3. Cord is very thin and kinda flimsy compared to old one, hope it holds

    I would highly recommend the Galaxy Note 5. Awesome phone! Great connectivity and clarity on the phone. Great 16mp camera. the only thing I miss, when compared to the Note III, I had before is the expandable memory card slot. However, with 32GB of on board storage, I still have plenty of space.

    By far the best Note created and I've used them all. Screen resolution, camera, features, size and everything else is nice. Pen feature alone is worth the purchase for business users.

    I used to be the person who said the note phones were to big but after I got the note2 I have been Note loyal and upgraded to the new version ever year. The stylus on this one with floating notes are just so handy and fantastic! Super great camera and fast internet browsing !

    I upgraded from a Samsung Galaxy SIII - Love the screen size, clarity and ease of use. So many more functions and capabilities. The great part is it actually has a better picture quality over the iPhone and the memory is not limited. Using Sprint and the service is wonderful.

    I've had several Samsung devices. Including the Note 2/3. The Note 5 is very responsive. It never gets warm/hot when using it. It charges very fast. I'm a medium user. Use it most of the time for work (email, IT stuff etc.) and my batter last all day. Usually at 40% by 10PM.

    I really like this phone. Great price! Fast, easy to use. My only complaint is the lack of an SD card slot. We take lots of photos and would like them stored on a card for extra room on phone. Google Photos helps with that. I thought the battery being sealed would be bad, but I can get almost a day without a charge. Fast charge is a great feature.

    Camera is clear and the size is good. I went from a S5 to Note5 and I thought it was going to be to big, but it is great. the memory is a plus. The only concern is the battery. Before the day is over the battery needs to be charged. However I us.e my phone all day,

    I finally let go of my Note II. The 5 is definitely quicker, nice camera features and similar enough to my previous Note to be comfortable. The only downsides so far are the lack of expandable memory and I miss the additional shortcut bar my previous note had on the side, but these are personal preferences not performance issues.

    I am loving the speed and ease of use with this phone. I feel like there is so much it can do that I may never really use, but am trying to learn them all. Overall, this phone is intuitive and I love the helpful tips that pop up as I find new features.

    Got this phone for my husband. I have an S4, so I was already a fan of Samsung, but this phone is leaps and bounds better. The camera is excellent, and the addition of a stylus cuts out a lot of the frustration you get web browsing on a phone.

    Replaced an old blackberry with this after being away from Android awhile. Night and day! This phone is quick to learn and easy to use. Size took a few days to get used to, but it's easy to use, see, and hold. Love the S pen feature as well.

    First thing first, the camera is really good...best around on a smart phone, its super fast, lots of features. Now the bad. I hate how the back is glass, you cant put sd cards in the phone which is bad, all around its a great phone, But they need to stop going with the same stuff apple has....BECAUSE THATS A FAIL!

    Note 2 was a good phone i had it for 3 years never a problem. Then the note 5 came along i tested it out great phone awesome processer. Only thing i would change is it does not have a slot for a sd card so because of that i gave it 4 stars .
