    I've had my eye on this phone for a while. I absolutely love it. Both the front and rear facing cameras are so crystal clear compared to past galaxy notes. Especially the front facing camera. The picture on the phone is so hd quality. It's easy to use and I love the added fingerprint unlock security feature..

    As you can take from the summary, I love this phone. Super fast, tons of space, not having to force close apps to free up resources to run other apps. Sound quality is great. Wifi radio has issues if you don't have the right settings, but thats an easy fix. Very surprised how good the sound quality was from the speaker on the bottom. The screen is beautiful. Camera takes amazing pictures.

    I have been a samsung fan since the samsung epic, on to the galaxy s4, s4, note 3, note edge and now the note 5, battery life and no ir blaster were concerns of mine. But the battery life is above excellent and is more than enough to get through the work day...although i do miss the ir blaster.

    I've had the Note 5 for a few weeks now. So far so good. It's very fast and will have more than enough memory to do what I want it to do. The stylist is accurate, and I haven't even begun to break into the many things it's capable of doing. I'll be purchasing Notes moving into the future!

    I upgrade from a Samsung s3 to the note 5. The picture quality is great. It will have been wonderful if the phone had an SD slot.

    I love this phone just for the sure functionality of it and the size of the screen is bigger than my last but not too big to where it is uncomfortable. This is a major upgrade and a fantastic buy I give it a triple Yes buy.

    I upgraded from a Galaxy S4... this phone is incredible! At first, I thought the device might be too large, but after using it for about 2 months now, I couldn't imagine going back to a mobile device with a smaller screen. I would definitely recommend getting a case ASAP though... the phone is very slippery fresh out of the box.

    Camera malfunctioned a couple days after I got my device. Samsung was great about fixing it (it took about 1 week to get my phone back from the time I sent it in). Sometimes I find that the screen doesn't respond to my touch. It's rare and I haven't been able to recognize a pattern as to when/why it happens. I'm being picky here... in the end the screen is Beautiful, Samsung pay is the best thing since sliced bread, and I love the ease of notes using the stylus.

    I wasn't sure, at first, if this was a true upgrade from my previous Note 4. I'm glad I made the decision to buy this phone. With all of the previous Note series phones under my belt, this is the best one yet

    The phone is fairly easy to use and I'm learning new cool. Stuff this thing does all the time as I go. For instance, I was asking for directions from someone on me phone, so I went into " my notes " to take notes, and as the person was giving me directions ove the phone it was taking its own notes as the person on the phone was giving me directions. VERY COOL!

    I had the Note 3 and loved it. My biggest issue with the Note 5 is that I cant use voice commands on alarms to snooze and stop alarms. The feature I like the most is the fingerprint unlock. I also LOVE the camera. It is the best camera, the pictures are clear, even when you zoom in or blow up the picture.
