    I upgraded from a galaxy4. Definitely a much bigger phone but since I usually keep it in my purse, the size hasn't mattered much. It's great to talk on, the camera is awesome. Still playing around with the S-note, loving the stylus.

    The battery life is long lasting and works fast. The stylus will save you from having a lot finger prints on the screen. The only problem that I have had is the ringtones. The phone doesn't seem to recognize ringtones set but other apps. I'm still working on figuring that out. Still a great phone.

    I was torn between this phone and the Samsung Galaxy 6 edge plus. I chose this phone because I like the bigger screen and the built in stylus really comes in handy, particularly when I want to edit pictures of my son. The resolution on this phone's camera is absolutely amazing.

    I got this phone in place of an Iphone 5. Absolutely love it, the speed of it is great. The large screen is nice, the stylus makes it easier to use. I dont think Ill ever go back to Apple after this phone.

    Owned 3 of 5 Galaxy Notes

    Having owned the notes 2, 3 and now 5 I must say this is the most advanced phone in terms of features, particular the camera and the speed of the unit. You can change the style of the writing of the note's pen. However all this advanced technology is brought down by the battery life of the unit. These phones now are thinner and ultimately the battery is thinner and therefore the battery doesn't last a full day without having to be charged. I have installed apps to reduce battery drain to no avail. Again overall, technology wise it's the best unit ever made of the note series. A friend of mine who owns the note 4 stated the battery life is not good either. To me a note 2 gets better battery life and the note 3 had the best battery life.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    I recently upgraded to the Note 5 and I love my new phone. Its very quick and has a better battery life than my s5 did. I love the S note ability to take a note on the blank screen. Great phone overall!

    I went in wanting a specific phone, but when I was shown the Samsung Note 5, I quickly changed my mind. Great camera, love the pen to take notes, and so far, everything is fairly intuitive to use.

    By far the best phone i have ever had. It's so much faster than the s4. Both front and back cameras are amazing. Im still finding out more things this phone can do and I've had it over a month.

    good phone. Had the 3 and the deal to buy the 5 was to good to pass up. Good screen size and tough. Dropped it face down first day I got it no cracks or breaks. Good memory size but I'm not a big fan of not having expandable memory. Miss the SD card slot.

    Samsung has really raised the bar with this smartphone. I held on to my last phone for quite a while because I figured bigger screen (which is what use to lure me into an upgrade) but just another smartphone. At this point aren't they all the same ? And the answer is a resounding NO. Samsung has definitely changed my thinking on that.This phone and the operating system along with the functionality is well worth the price. It takes a few years and then someone comes out with an awesome front runner. This one is leading the pack IMHO.
