    The Samsung Note 5 is a great phone, my son wanted a replacement for his old phone. After looking at others, he decided on this one, and is glad he did. The screen size is large, and the processor keeps up with all the apps he likes to use.

    S-pen is useful, but managing battery is necessary

    S-pen capabilities sets Samsung's Note5 apart from the competition. I no longer need to search for paper and a pen. All my notes are organized in one place. The battery is 200 mAh less than its predecessor, and non-removable, however, two battery-saving modes are pre-installed in the Note5. The phablet charges fast, but keep your charger(s) nearby at all times. I did not give this product a 5 star rating because I don't want to manage the battery periodically. That being said; I would rather own this thin phablet with its battery life than own a thicker phablet with a higher capacity battery... Other observations besides obvious tech specs: Phablet looks thin and attractive. It feels sturdy and "glassy." The optics on both cameras are superb. Low-light shots are brilliant too. I bought the 32 gb model and won't reach capacity because my photos and videos are set to automatically upload to google. The virtual keyboard has letters and numbers on its initial screen. The operating system is easy to use and intuitive. Phablet may be easily personalized and audio is surprisingly good.

    This phone is awesome, great multitasker, fast processing speed. If you are buying on a Sprint account, don't do it. All the new phones are horrible. Something sales person will tell you, Sprint has not upgraded their towers to be compatible with the single antenna phones (note 5, galaxy s6, s6 edge) therefore, if you like to multitasker while on the phone, no way. The phone will not, I repeat, WILL NOT, connect to the internet while on the phone... until their upgrade is done, so far this has been a huge disappointment. No telling when the upgrade will be finished.

    I thought I'd be more happy with the new Edge + but I felt like I was missing some functionality. I had a Note 3 and that I wouldn't miss the S Pen, but I was wrong. I have the Edge + now but will be returning it tomorrow to get my Note back.

    At first I wasn't' sure I was going to like the Note because it felt so big. After using it a couple of days though I was hooked. It is a very fast phone! My pen does get stuck sometimes but other than that I wouldn't want any other phone.

    This phone has replaced almost every other device. Movies look spectacular, photo quality is excellent, and it handles everything with ease. I was a bit concerned about battery life but have yet to run into trouble with power. Excellent

    I have only had the note 5 for a few days but so far I love it. I have owned other brands but I have come to like Samsung phones best. This is my third Samsung phone. My two sons went to an LG phone but ended up back with Samsung phones.

    It was time for my husband to upgrade and after reviewing all the phones out there, he chose the Note 5 due to the size and the use of the pen. He loves his Note 5 as much or more than I love my Note 3. This is his first flagship and I'm sure it won't be his last. Great purchase, price and fast delivery!

    The Samsung Note is a great phone. I had the Samsung Galaxy III and decided to get an upgrade. I'm glad I made the choice to go with this phone. Perfect size.....not too big or too small.....just perfect. The color gold is beautiful.

    Galaxy phones are my go to phone. I just upgraded and I am very satisfied. There's a great camera which is very important to me when purchasing a new phone. If your looking to get a new phone. The galaxy note 5 is a perfect choice.

    I was due for an upgrade from my galaxy 3. I've been a fan of Samsung for years so I compared the galaxy 6 to the note 5 which I've never used in my life and found the camera on the note 5 to be the absolute selling point!!! : )

    I had the Galaxy Note 3 before. I loved that phone and love this even more! The camera is improved and many other functions as well. I use an Iphone at work and prefer my Galaxy Note 5 much more. There is no comparison.

    This phone is not too big, considering the screen size. Samsung keeps the bezel to a minimum. Battery life is good for such a superior screen. Best photos for a camera phone.
