    The added benefit of the Note 7 reduced my joy regarding this purchase. In addition the entire purchase experience at Best Buy as a whole tainted the purchases that I made. If I had it to do over again I would not have purchased anything from there.

    DID NOT LIKE THE NOTE 5! My main reason is because they made it like an Apple product...limited amount of GBs. It wasn't enough and I could not add an sd card like I could on the Note II.

    Dear Samsung...

    Should someone looking to buy a smartphone, buy this if it was the last smartphone device ever made today? Yes. It’s not only the best Android device made, it’s one of the best smartphones ever made. Not having a basic feature such as visual voicemail is simply a software update away, and the lack of a true answer to iMessage is not enough to shake the Note 5’s incredible functionality. And if it’s size or shape upset you, consider the Samsung Galaxy S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge+. That shouldn't be confusing at all to rattle off outloud. Let’s give a sarcastic round of applause for Samsung and their marketing department. Would I buy this smartphone? No. Why? Well... iPhone 6S Plus - How good will that 12 megapixel camera be? The previous one was already darn good. And Is 3D-Touch a UI game changer? We’ll know soon enough. LG Nexus 5X & Huawei Nexus 6P - Android Marshmallow developer’s preview, appears to be the most beautiful and feature rich mobile OS that has ever been created. These two devices are the direct competition to Apple. These two devices also mean, quick software updates, security patches, and the holy grail of what Android’s OS is meant to be. Pure. 3. Sony Xperia Z5 Premium - Yes, this 23 megapixel shooter, possess a needless 4K resolution screen that only runs in 4K when the content calls for it. But good God folks, it’s 4K resolution! You’re missing the entire point if you only see this as useless! You see, the best technology purchase you can make, is the one that’s almost future-proof. Notice I say almost because nothing, except hunger is future-proof. Having a lightning fast processor, an incredible camera, a fingerprint reader in a more logical place (I still believe the best spot is the screen itself), and a 4K screen are a step in the right future-proofing direction. Simply put, if you’re not a futurist who thrives on finding a future-proofed device, the Note 5 would do you well. The screen, build materials, and camera quality should never get old. For me, I’m still on the hunt. Sincerely, T. Lee Jr. To read the full review, view my docs in Google Docs... https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Dp9azWLaDsZj5RqmCuDPyPlF5gIxjDYcmrFG_34YsdE/edit?usp=sharing
