    This Samsung Galaxy note has a great size screen while being very light to handle. The pictures look very sharp and receiving both of my business and personal emails is very quick to get.

    This is my third Samsung Note. I had a Note 3 and a Note 4. The 5 improves on the other two I've had. I LUV being able to write notes with the Stylus even when the Note 5 is "asleep".

    I have had several Samsung phones and this one is my far my favorite. I thought it would be too big but after a week it felt like the right size. I'm constantly learning new features on the phone which is always exciting. The only problem is that it did not come with ear buds.

    This is the best Phablet out today. I thought I couldn't do without a removable battery but with Samsung's fast charging and the optimization of the system I have no worries.

    I have several Samsung products and love them all. I had a Note 2 in the past and loved it, then switched to a new LG phone when it came out.(pushed in to it by a salesperson). It was ok but I missed my NOTE. I have been waiting for the newest version to come out and pre-ordered the new NOTE 5. I am so happy to have another Note & I am looking forward to using.

    Performs as expected. Does what its supposed to do. Can't complain. Is it worth $800? I think so, but only because its stretched over time and my bill didnt change at all. Its the best camera I've ever owned that can search the web, make calls/ texts, and play games.

    Despite having built in battery, through average use, you can still get a good day of use out of the device. Additionally, Samsung pay works at many retailers.

    I upgraded from my Note 4 and I like the slightly smaller feel of the Note 5. I love the new stylus. There are a few things I wish they would've left alone. They made it more like the iPhone in that you can't remove the back of the phone to remove/replace the battery yourself. There is no option for an external memory card...big disappointment! It doesn't seem to be able to voice text either?!? Overall, its still a really nice phone. I love the size of it!
