    Highly recommend this phone given the increase in performance vs. note 4, but only draw back is the lack of extra expandable storage. Overall better than the note 4 with only the lack of extra storage as a negative.

    The Galaxy Note 5 is not only a great phone but a great prductivity tool. I use it for project planning scheduling and playing an occasional game. The camera takes top notch pictures and the sound quality is great.

    Battery is a step up from note edge 4, display is beautiful, camera is super fast, love the redesign of the pen. Very happy with my upgrade and you will be too. I talked my co worker into getting it and he loves it.

    The first thing I've noticed on this is the long lasting battery, which is a welcoming upgrade from my Note 3. The picture quality is much better than anything I have seen. I'm enjoying all the bells and whistles on the Note 5.

    I previously had a Note 4 and it went out on me so I received a Note 5. Love the Themes feature on this phone and the screen and color is nice. The only downside I've noticed is it doesn't stay charged as long as the Note 4.

    Love the phone. My only complaint if I were to have one is that the screen is smaller than previous versions of the note, namely the note 2. I happen to prefer larger screens. Aside from that no complaints.

    I went from an I-phone to the Galaxy and have been very pleased. I use the notes with the pen all of the time for business. Don't have to worry about having a notepad! Also great for seeing e- mails with attachments. Also love all of the apps available for free. Great pictures too.

    Awesome, so easy, so handy, so light. I still haven't figured it all out but for a 68 year old I'm not having any problems. So excited I decided to do this. I already had the pro 10 tablet and this beats it.

    I was replacing my Note 2 because the software upgrades had stacked and the phone became slow. There was a $100 gift card offer that pushed my foot to upgrade. I love the phone. S-Note and the amazing quality of the photos it takes. Its fast and reliable most all of the time. Sometimes the voice activation doesn't work and sometimes voice activation will not find a particular contact when I request it to call someone. Other than those two things it works well.

    I was torn between getting this phone or the G6 edge + and I'm very glad I chose the note 5. I had a note 4 previously and it was a seamless transition. Works very slick, a bit faster than the note 4.

    Used to be strictly a Droid person for the last few phones, but decided to take a leap of faith and try this guy out. It was worth it so far. I like the S-Pen, being able to take a quick note without unlocking is great. I can use it as a scratch pad for quick math calculations.

    I bought this for my wife. She loves it. When I asked what she liked about it she said 'everything'. She then when on to mention the camera and the pen. Yes, she is very pleased with her new phone.

    Note 4 battery life was far better - but the design is stellar - wireless charging makes it nice - but turbo charging kills that feature for me as the wireless charger I only use for charging bedside overnight.
