    I went from the Note 3 to the Note 5 and the upgrade is well worth it. Massive camera upgrade, and impressive screen. The biggest downgrade is the lack of an SD Card slot.

    I was an the only IPhone user in my family and got grief for that. Decided to try out Samsung knowing I would not like it and go back to Apple to show them. After I got used to it this phone is great, very easy to use and specs and performance are awesome. The Screen resolution like no other and the camera is awesome. I have to say I am surprised, thinking I would go back to apple, Maybe my next one will be IPhone but for now I love this Note 5, it s pen, fast, and very easy to use.

    I chose this over the edge+ because basically there were no cases for the edge+. This phone functions as it should and more. I'm still trying to find out all it has to offer. There are some downsides though. No removable battery and no place for a bigger sd card. I also was used to the older Notes being a little bigger which is what I prefer. Some folks like the smaller compact size but if you're going to be using the S pen much, a bigger screen definitely makes it easier. Overall nice phone.

    I was worried it would be too big and that I wouldn't find use for the S Pen... BUT after using it for a couple weeks, my worries were for nothing! The larger screen size is great for games and reading articles. I chose a very minimal protective case, which allows me to still slip it in my back pocket. I love the S Pen for taking notes, scribbling down a grocery list, and navigating web pages. Added bonus: the camera takes beautiful pictures!

    I LOVE this phone. I finally upgraded from my S4. I didn't want to let go because I had a purple one and it's my favorite color!! I have to say it's definitely worth it. It's bigger than I'm used to, but if size is an issue, there's always the S6 or Edge. I love how I can do different things at once and the camera is AMAZING! I've compared the camera to the IPhone 6 Plus and this wins hands down.

    I recommend this for android fans for one major reason: The S Pen. It really helps take this device to a whole new level. There's a lot you can do with it. The camera is also a great improvement over my previous S4. It takes great pictures, especially in low light. Another point is it's fairly light weight for a larger phone. When I've let others use it, they often comment on how light it is.

    I had recently upgraded to the Samsung Note 5 and it has been a very pleasant experience so far. I originally had a LG G3 which was my favorite phone up until I got the Note 5. The battery lasts me almost all day. The camera takes vivid pictures. I've had it for the last 3 mos. without any issues. Great sound coming out of the speakers at the bottom of the phone. I highly recommend this phone.

    This phone has features galore. More than I will likely ever use. I particularity like the larger screen and the S-pen feature. The display is amazing and battery life is more than adequate. Can't find anything to fault the phone for other than the fact the battery is not replaceable but this is not really a factor as I have normally trade phones every two years when eligible for an upgrade.
