    I bought the galaxy S6 back in November and loved the phone. But i originally wanted the note 5. So i ended up giving the S6 to my girlfriend and buying the note 5 for myself. It's pretty much the best smartphone I've ever owned.

    I have sprint as my cellphone carrier. Device keeps dropping calls. I had the device exchanged but the problem continued, which leads me to the conclusion that the problem is with Sprint

    I like the phone. However, I don't understand how it's suppose to be an upgrade from the Note 4 but it doesn't even do stuff that the Note 4 did. In some areas, it seems like a downgrade. I think a new phone should do what the previous version did plus more. Other than that, I like the phone.

    The Note 5 is a lot better than I was expecting. The screen is the best I've seen on a phone. And the features; excellent. Samsung has come a long way since the 1st galaxy phone that drove me away from them. Good to be back.

    I switched from an iPhone 6 plus and have got to say the speed and camera on this phone are way better than the apple phone.

    This phone is a great tool for business owners in the field. To be able to utilize a large screen is a big plus. Really missing the expandable memory and replaceable battery

    Love most all features to phone. I haven't had any issues in regards to the functionality of the phone. For a small period of time I was having a few errors pop up but I think through updates that has since went away.

    Easy to operate, great functionality. Able to use a variety Microsoft Office products. Great phone. No external data slot but with cloud storage you dont really need it. Stylus definitely comes in handy

    After using a phone with 4gb ram you cant go back to any phone with any less. Its faster and better in all categories pertaining to actual usage of the phone. Isnt that the main reason to buy a phone.

    Ever since I started buying Samsung cell phones I have realized that they tend to be very powerful yet very underwhelming. Case and point very Advanced cell phone loaded with tons of worthless apps most of them are proprietary and you cannot delete them while you are able to temporarily stop them from operating they are still on your phone wasting precious memory especially on a phone such as this where you are unable to upgrade the memory. In my opinion Samsung is moving forward and making better products as they have with the at 7 and hopefully with the Note 7.
