    This is a great upgrade for me that I believe I will be utilizing for a long time to come. It has so many functions necessary for my productivity, having a TBI(Traumatic Brain Injury). I love the speed as well, and how easiliy accessible and easy to operate the phone is. It takes some time getting used to it, yet this adds to the fun of having it!

    I'm surprised this thing doesn't make sandwiches. I haven't been this excited or made up so many excuses to play with it since i started puberty. It does everything every other smartphone does but is bigger, faster, and Android! And whoever added the option for one handed mode, genius! Only downfall so far is the lack of previously optioned camera modes (i.e. sound and shoot), and dedicated camcorder function or app icon /button.

    At first I was skeptical about the note 5 because of Samsung’s Exynos processor, but so far the phone has exceeded my expectations. The phone has a decent battery life, but I mostly use my phone for emails, messaging, and occasional “facebooking.” One of my favorite things is the S pen and the capabilities of taking notes, while the screen is off. I’m very forgetful, so this feature is a plus for me.

    Program space is great I have the 64-Gig version, and so far I do not miss the SD card. Camera Quality is awesome. Size works well, video is very clear and crisp. Battery life last most if not all day. S pen is less of a feature, does not work well with non Samsung applications. Have a bit of LTE signal problems,drops and comes back repeatedly. I am all of the cuntry, generally good reception.

    I didn't know that the Note 5 was released the previous day when I saw it at best buy. I have had a Note 2 for about 3 years and love it but it was running slow. The new Note 5 is awesome! I've been running it on power save and it's still faster than my 2 plus the battery lasts all day! I've just scratched the surface of all the new features. It's another great Samsung product!

    I love this phone. I was unsure of it due to not being able to add additional memory. But, it has surpassed any of my concerns. Beautiful screen, not too bulky even with a case, and a great battery life.

    Other than the fact that the stylus is a cheap piece of garbage, the entire phone is extremely well made. I love the auto brightness sensitivity, the action memo, and the great quality camera. The gigantic sxreen helps a little, too. The only other thing i don't like is the fact that the stylus can be inserted backwards abs cannot be removed. DO NOT TRY THIS! It is a major design flaw and you will break that part of your phone. Something they need to fix before the phone is released... but hey, still a nice phone.

    Previously I owned the HTC one. Contract expired and phone was going bad. NEVER thought I would purchase a Note due to the size, but was persuaded by the great promotion that was available. Not disappointed at all with my choice. Much better phone than the HTC one. Better picture quality, easy to use and so fun option to help keep me organized

    Color and videos are spectacular. Battery life can go all day. Camera has multiple settings including a panoramic option. Overall I am satisfied with the phone and glad I went with the Note 5. Having the S pen stylus is an added perk!

    The Galaxy note 5 is one of the best smartphones I've owned to date. It's snappy performance has made most tasks quick and convenient and the inclusion of the S pen has opened a would of options not easily duplicated on most phones.

    I was an LG G2 owner before I got the note and loved the buttons on the back but it was starting to hesitate and be slow. This is my first note and it is Awesome! Fast, no hesitation and what a screen. I am still getting use to the pen and have not figured out what I am going to use it for.

    I love the note5 . I upgraded from the note4. THe camera is so much more clearer , the features are so much more better, Theme changing is awesome and a must in a phone capable of doing all that the note can. Taking selfies has never been easier with the hand motion sensor. I love it.

    This phone is great, however it's weakness is storage. Since there is no microSD slot. Samsung should have up the base configuration to 64GB instead of 32GB and offer an option to go to 128GB. Beside that, there isn't much to complain. For a big phone, it feel very good in the hands but is a little slippery because of the glass back.

    Loving the features of this phone. You can do screen shots with the s-pen and write notes on your screen shot. You can also draw on the screen. You can have multiple screens open and switch back and forth with any lagging.
