    The note 5 is faster and more features for the S pen. The only negatives are the battery life and IR blaster being removed. Overall it's a great phone.

    Best phone. I wish it had an SD card but I probably won't need it. I purchased the 64 gb model. Love everything about it.

    Went from the note 4 to the note 5 and can't be happier. I was having a ton of issues with the note 4. Lagged like crazy, screen was becoming slow and unresponsive at times. The glass back on the note 5 is a fingerprint magnet. It's the only drawback to the phone...but if you're like me and you hardly use your phone naked...then it's not a problem as the case covers them up.
