This is by far the best phone I've owned. I've had it since it was first released and I'm still finding cool new features. It runs so smooth and fast and I haven't had any issues yet. Well there was a compatibility issue with the free Samsung wireless pad. Who would have thought... a Samsung device not compatible with a Samsung device. They sent out a patch which appears to have resolved the issue. The camera is magnificent. I attached a couple pictures.... straight up, no filtering. In short.... both the phone and camera are fully loaded with great features!

Screen resolution superb. Ease of operation, speed, comfort of hand. Camera rivals Nikons best. The Note 5 gets 5 stars in all areas.

Great camera. Very easy to use. Screen is very clear. Good picture.

Great cellphone..Easy to use and fantastic photos thru camera..

I was torn between an Iphone 6 or stay with androids and I feel I made the right decision I love my phone there is so much to do with alot of memory to me that's the best part.

I am in week 2 of this phone, only issue is wireless charging which might be the phone's software or the charger. People seem to suspect both. Phone will charge for random amount of time and stop charging on the wireless charger without reaching 100%. I have had some weird issues with the keyboard jumping spaces to the line below in some apps too. Screen is beautiful, but was disappointed in 5.7" was not 6", camera is very good, phone is very fast and responsive. Battery life has been very good so far with it going a whole day with time to spare. Love the app organization and the overall lack of bloatware on the phone. The default "theme" is very ugly in my opinion but lots of free ones to change to. This was a big leap overall from my Note 2 which served me well for for over 2 years. The Note 5 is light in the hand and actually feels smaller than the Note 2 I had been using, so for those who fear the "big" phone I do not think this will be an issue.

i finally decided to upgrade my Galaxy Note 2, and figured i would give the Note 5 a crack since i liked the Note 2 so much. i have to say the ease of use of this phone is amazing, and the screen is LARGER than my Note 2 but the bezel is so much smaller the phone is actually overall smaller. the battery life is average - above average, and with the quick charging feature samsung has implemented, you can get about 30% battery in about 15 minutes? something around there. the camera is gorgeous, and the pictures are super crisp, and having a bevy of features for just a basic camera app. the ONLY thing i am disappointed with is the fact that they took away such a staple feature being the removable battery and the microsd slot, but the fast charging KIND OF makes up for the lack of removable battery(even though i would much rather carry around an extra battery). all in all, those 2 reasons are the only downfalls as to why i didn't give it a full 5 stars, but rather closer to a 4.5 then a 4. give it a try, and through best buy, if you are not happy with it after two weeks you can return it. no harm no foul. happy shopping

I love egerything about this phone, speed, user friendly, anazing apps themes are a nice additon. Camera is amazing screen is amazing and spen is very cool especially for those who are into detailed work in apps like picsart

This is probably the best phone I have ever owned. The battery is, by far, the best battery I've ever had on a phone. Most of my last phones would be under 15%, if I'm lucky, by the end of the day. This phone usually has at least 35-40% left at the end of the day. Also, it charges SUPER fast! Just 10-15 mins of charging can get it over 50%. It is also really fast and snappy with literally, almost no stuttering or freezing. Only once or twice has it done that, and it was almost unnoticeable. The screen is the best screen I have ever seen, on any device, phone or tablet, by far! Also, the S pen is a great tool and works flawlessly. I almost forgot I even have it because it tucks away seamlessly in the bottom of the phone. 5 stars, for sure!

Stylus is the killer feature for me. Being able to take a form off of email and fill it out easily is a dream come true. That feature alone saves me time and paper and makes my job so easy. The camera is a major upgrade as well, takes amazing pictures. Many critics have complained about the battery and not enough storage but I'm assuming they are apple fans. The battery last easily all day for me plus charges in less than an hour. In the advent of online storage memory has become really a non issue on storage. My note 3 lasted me 2 years so quality should not be a problem.

I love my new phone. The screen is bigger than most phones out now, the s-pen seems to make everything easier to do. The display is awesome, you can see everything easily, the camera on this phone is magnificent, it takes the best pictures i have ever seen on a phone like really state of the art. The speed of this phone is unexplainable, you would have to test it out and use it yourself to believe it and somehow still manages to have an excellent battery life that lasts almost all day with excessive use, and charges faster than most other phones out of the box (no need to buy a fast charger) cause it comes with a fast charger already. The best phone I've had to date by far!!!

Pros: fast, excellent camera, clear screen, nice size, fingerprint scanner, built in wireless charging Cons: lack of expandable memory card, no ir blaster, non removable battery, not water resistant (comparing to my previous S5)

Although the back is sealed with built in battery and storage only. This Note is by far the best. Note series has always been a beast of a phone, but this 5 edition surpassed all previous ones. I mean the phone is snappy, no lag, battery lasts long, it charges quick, the screen is so stunning. The pen is such an improvement very smooth and natural feel. The phone it selfs it perfoms so much better. Its almost like that has been ios secret to their devices. Built in memory and battery allows the phone to be more eficcient. I still prefer it over an iphone becuase no need to deal with itunes. If i want to add music, photos, videos and movies. I just connect my phone to my pc and drag/copy all my desired files and be done with it. Oh and FYI... you get a completaly free 100GB cloude storage thru OneDrive. So, if ur memory is running low just transfer to the cloud and you can acces it from anywhere. Get this note5, You won't regret it!!

I have been using Samsung phones for the last 4+ years and this is by far the best phone that Samsung has made from my point of view. The pictures are great and navigating around the phone is very simple. The Samsung pay feature is very useful and simple to use as well. The phone is not too bulky and the gold phone (device I have) has a very sleek and great design. It fits in my hand comfortably. Much better than the Note 4 that I traded for the Note 5.

This is my first Note model phone. It's an upgrade from a Galaxy S5. This phone is ideal for me as I'm a user who loves the stylus, as I'm a hand written note taker. I also have large hands so this phone fits fine. Though the style and design of the phone's case makes this one feel good even in smaller hands such as my wife's. The phone is fast and smooth and has plenty of storage for most people. If you need to pull things off your phone there's always a 32 gig San disk thumb drive with both USB and micro USB plugs built in. Best Buy has this at a very reasonably price. As far as battery life, I get 2 days with moderate use and at least a full day with heavy use. All in all a great upgrade from my GS5.

I'm extremely pleased with my Note 5. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it is a jump in quality from my S4 which I was also very happy with. It's an extraordinarily well thought out product. First of all metal does make a difference. Not only is it well protected it gives a sense of solidity and is very comfortable to hold. Feature wise it's fast, has a gorgeous screen, great camera has a very good speaker for a product it's size and is an improvement over previous Samsung phone speakers . It's feature rich with lots of useful built in advantages such as screen mirroring ,NF, built in flashlight, ...sound quality on both ends of a conversation is crystal clear and noted by me and everyone that I talk to often without the other party knowing that I've changed phones. One big objection that almost everyone has to it is that the battery is not interchangeable. The concern is theoretical in that I may never be a problem with it but I feel more comfortable knowing that I can replace it if I I had to instead of having to send it off for repair. Also there's no external micro SD card but again 32 mgs is more than I need. Supposedly Samsung is going to address these consumer concerns which I'm guessing has hurt sales in the future. This is why I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5. Barring that and considering it's quality and performance it really deserves the full monty.

I owned a Samsung Note 2 for almost 3 years and really enjoyed the large size, the user friendly operating features, the camera's excellent picture quality, and now with my purchase of the new Samsung Note 5, the improvements that have been made are very impressive. The screen visually is so clear and the colors are so very brilliant. It's even more user friendly than before, which is so great. The camera picture quality is primo, and I take a lot of pictures! I don't have the time to mention everything, but every feature that is important to me, has in one way or another, improved greatly. Really nice product Samsung. Keep up the good work! Oh, one more thing I should mention is, that my entire family and extended family are Apple cellphone users and once they saw my Samsung Note 5, they too were impressed.
