    I love this phone. I love the size and the spen functionality. My only regret is that i didn't get the 64gb model as this phone doesn't come with expandable memory.

    Except the stylus is now a push release feature on the bottom, they've also moved the headphone jack to the bottom also. It's still a great phone, very fast and perfect for watching videos and listening to music.

    Upgraded from Galaxy III & this was definitely right choice! Very happy with this phone and all the options and the capability of this phone to do. The camera is amazing also! This phone is just as capable as my home computer and I love having it. Right choice for me!

    Previously I had the Note3, thought it was the best! Finally, wore it out! I had some concerns about the 5, battery, not a problem plenty of time plus the super charger. No SD, not a problem, plenty of storage. Samsung Skills classes is definitely a huge benefit.

    I bought the note for the stylus and ability to take notes on any screen with it. I use it daily for my job. I miss the SD slot for memory expansion. The new Note 7 has the SD back. Screen and camera are excellent.

    'Purchased for my wife, always on Facebook, text and other media. Plenty of memory and power with a pen, often used for drawing apps and such... She is very, very satisfied and often uses the phone instead of her Galaxy 12.2 tablet for various communications...

    Upgrading from the Galaxy S3 to Note5. Has been an awesome experience! The clarity has been spectacular. It loads and operates 10 times faster then my old phone.

    This phone is a joy. I was worried about the lack of micro sd card slot but google drive and one drive help me get over lack of sd card slot. The only thing that makes this product not perfect is the lack of IR blaster. I owned a note 3 before I used it to control almost all my devices at home. Next model will have it I hope.

    I had the Note 2 and was so ready for an upgrade. I am so happy that I went with the Note 5 instead of the IPhone 6 Plus!!! Seems more simple to use and have always been a Samsung fanboy anyway ;D

    I upgraded from a Note 2 so a lot has changed since then. I wanted to hold out for the Note 6 but my Note 2 slowly died after 2+ years. No regrets, I love my Note 5 it does everything I need it to do and I probably don't use it to its full potential!

    This is hands down the best phone of all time. I've had iphones, lg, htc, sony and nokia and Samsung just always gets it right. You're doing yourself a disservice by not purchasing this device

    I bought this phone for my Fiance. This is the first time he has a Samsung Phone and he absolutely loves it. He loves all the features that they have with this phone. He loves the screen shot option because with the stylus he can draw on his phone.

    I have used samsung phones for about 6 years. I have always stuck with the galaxy series. So far I love this phone. I am still learning all the new features this has, but as of right now I will not be getting another galaxy but stick with the note.

    I love this phone. I have been a GalaxyNote user from the beginning. I have been playing with it for a few days, and I have to say that I am impressed. I love this phone!!! I wish the battery was removable, and I wish you could add SD cards for additional storage..but other than that, I haven't found much to complain about.
