    The best android I've had so far. The stylus is a great add on for me as i came from a galaxy s5. Screen size is wonderful and it's nice, thin and light.

    Great phone, finally Samsung got rid of the cheap plastic body and moved on to the all metal design. Everything is great except no IR blaster for TV and the fingerprint scanner is iffy sometimes. Solid 9/10.

    Does it all, Wife loves it and is happy so I am happy. However, the only reason I didn't give it five star is simply because the option to add external storage and change out the battery if needed is not available with the Note 5. That's like tending to lean towards the fruit people. No Samsung! be true to your customers and stay on course. Otherwise, the Note 5 in my opinion is the best device in the market in the area of speed, camera quality and style and good looks..

    I LOVE the Samsung Galaxy Note 5!!! Samsung has stepped up their game against Apple products! My teenage daughter has an Apple iPhone (5) that her father purchased but my Note 5 wins overall performance and tech options! When it comes to taking her selfies or pics with her friends she asks to use my Note 5 phone camera!!! A much better quality pic! You can multi-task when on the phone with someone or while you are texting another! I have not found anything I don't like about this phone and I have had it since Thanksgiving 15'! Do yourself a favor and get one!

    Great device . I told myself I woudnt buy another phone at bestbuy because of previous experience, but the deals were too good to pass up. The device with glass back has a very premium feel. Finger print smudges as expected. The battery life has been great compared to the g3 running and using all day on a single charge when I used to charge the g3 twice a day. The fast charge is exceptional from 1 to100 percent in just a little over an hour. I would be obliged to recommend the s6 or note 5 to friend and family members. Great job samsung!

    The galaxy note 5 is the best android phone I have ever used. It's fast and hold a charge for very long time. Multitasking is not a problem while running many other option a background. The visual screen quality is downright amazing. The camera front facing and rear are the best.

    Went from a S3 to Note 5. It was a big step up! Fast, user friendly and great size. I find myself using it more for daily tasks.

    The note 5 is very quick. The s pen makes sending screenshots and taking notes very easy. When paired with the gear circle Bluetooth headphones you will hear who is calling, not just a ringtone. Another feature I like is the fingerprint reader to unlock the phone. The size might not be great for some and it did take getting used to. Overall this was a better choice than the current phones on the market.
