    The glass body at the back makes the phone looks more elegant and professional. The phone is fast and have lots of features and application that can help a professional to work on the fly.

    This phone is leaps and bounds above thethe as tithes. Incredible camera, fast processor, super clear screen... there's nothing that I want it to do that it doesn't. I put it above the S6

    DEFINITELY one of my favorite new phones out right now. Beautiful screen, runs fast and great camera. Unfortunately my motherboard fried within the first month of having this phone but Samsung is fixing it for free under the warranty.

    I have had every Galaxy Note that has come out. This in my opinion is the best all around phone on the market. It is fast, user friendly, and has any feature you could want.

    I have recently only used the IPhone but thought I would try an android. The picture quality is as good as my canon dlr camera and ease of use was very high. Only negative is open email with attachments is slower than expected.

    I adore my new Note, screen size, ease, features, etc...only thing that kills me is that it has no IR Blaster, so I cannot use it as a remote, which I have always used with my previous phone. Also, I would love for it to have a removable battery and expandable memory slot. Hopefully they will take this into consideration for next time. On a side note, DO NOT GO WITH SPRINT!! Biggest mistake of my life.

    I have been turned off by previous Samsung Galaxy products because of the build quality and custom TouchWiz interface. Those are not issues with the Galaxy Note 5. The phone feels great in your hand, the metal and glass design feels high quality and durable. The TouchWiz interface has been updated to be much more modern. The dark holo theme is finally gone, and the settings menu is more standard (no goofy tabs you have to click through to find what you're looking for.) I have been happy with the performance and battery life for the first week with the device. The screen is vibrant and large.
