Positive feedback also highlights the phone's features, design, and performance. However, some users expressed disappointment over the lack of expandable storage and the absence of an SD card slot.

    Had the phone for a little under a week. So far the phone is great. Upsides, great camera, fast, clear speakers on phone. Downside, not great battery life, slide to unlock is a little sticky.

    The Galaxy Note 5 has all the great features as most Samsung devices. The Note has a great camera for excellent images and a stylus which allows you to be more precise when editing images.

    I moved from a Note 3 to a Note 5. I had wanted a Note 4 because I thought I might need to add storage. But after looking at how I was really using my phone, it isn't needed. I love just having my pictures uploaded to the cloud as soon as I'm around Wi-Fi. But the main function I use outside of camera and phone, is S-Notes. The way that works, I no longer bring note paper and a writing instrument to any of my meetings. The way it writes is so much better than the Note 3. Absolutely love it.
