    The thing I love most is the battery life on this phone. Lasts all day and then some and I am a heavy user. I hesitated upgrading to a note because of the size but I quickly got used to it.

    I love the phone. My only complaint is they did not make it waterproof or allow an SD card. One or the other needs to be on a modern phone.

    This phone is a upgrade from the s5... its a nice upgrade didn't think my husband would like the larger size. Added styles won him over with the additional size to graphs, drawn etc..

    When i bought this i wasn't sure I'd like it due to the sealed case on the phone. Had a galaxy note 4 that always had battery problems. No issues with this phone what so ever. Love it.

    We were looking for a phone for my daughter somce she was due for an upgrade. We looked around and saw this and she loved what was included in with it. She loves that she has more room so she can have music that she needs for class and take lots of pictures and thst.

    By far the best phone that ive owned. I hate a galaxy s4 before this and the jump to the note was a bit scary because of the size but that quickly went away after using it for a few days i didnt even notice. The pen doesnt fall out but ive caught it a few times getting stuck and accidentally tapping it out but that isnt a big deal. What bothers me the most about this phone and the reason i can not give it 5 stars is the fact that i can not use my internet while using the phone call feature. I use to always be able to look up directions or go online to look up movie times while my phone but now i cant do that unless connected to a wifi source. Thats truly annoying, but luckily im predominantly near wifi sources but it can be a drag. Besides that im hoping to upgarde to the note 7 when it gets re-released especially now that they came back with external stoarge.
