Customer Ratings & Reviews

First of all, I like Samsung products. I can always count on them for quality. This is my fourth android device, all made by Samsung, and I plan to stay with that technology. The Note 5 has the features I was looking for; lots of space on the phone itself, accepts and utilizes apps well, great camera, good phone connection, larger screen but not too large. The Note feature itself is one I had not previously had. I really like this for taking a quick note at a meeting, writing out my grocery list or adding to it at the time I am thinking of it, jotting down a price or brand I want to remember, etc. It is so much handier than searching for a pen and paper and then hoping to find it again. I am spoiled and I like it. My experience at Best Buy was great, too. The Samsung rep and the Best Buy Sales person were both knowledgeable and helpful in getting me set up. The sale price was what drew me in the first place. My overall phone bill remained nearly the same as it had been for this great upgrade. I will definitely consider Best Buy in the future when I am seeking new electronics.

This version of the note is awesome, with a premium design it has an extremely nice feel. This phone has went on a diet in size and bloatware. Samsung nailed it with this design and Google with the Android OS. I can easily say that the battery life is incredible and the camera is amazing. You will not regret purchasing this phone.

I would strongly recommend this phone to anyone. And if would especially recommend it over the s6. If you are going for aesthetics s6 should be your choice. For actual performance and usage the note 5 is spectacular. Just dont stick the pen in backwards.

I love the size of screen, stylus, great pictures!

This is one of my favorite all time Samsung phones. It is easy to handle and the updated features on the phone work awesome. Transferring data between older Samsung phones and new ones is very easy and much easier then loosing my past APPs when I got a new phone. From battery life to ease-of-use I would by this again.

The first few months after a phone comes out is always rough as the software gets run through its paces and the final software updates are finalized. As of yet I haven't noticed anything in the software that is worth anything more than mild irritation. The hardware is also about what you expect from a new phone. Gorgeous and well designed. Although the my pen fell apart I suspect it was small issue from the release date being pushed and standards always fall in such cases

So far I love this phone! So glad I waited for the Note and didn't get the Galaxy S6. Love the quick charge and the bigger screen. Can go all day on a charge even with moderate usage. Took me a while to adjust to some of the new features and still learning about the S pen but I can see how helpful this can be.

The note 5 has one of the best displays on the market right now. The phone would have 5 stars if they had not removed the SD card slot and made the battery not only non-removable but also smaller then past note phones. It does have rapid wireless charging and heavy users will need this. Build on the phone is great and this one has one of the best camera out there. Love the fact you can set the camera with custom setting to help with getting the best shot

Awesome phone and super fast CPU, HD screen and camera. Battery life is great. However the only storage space that's worth it for this model phone is the 64 GB. If you buy the 32 GB you will not have much space at all due to the system files taking up roughly 5 or 6 GB due to lack of expandable storage.

The best thing I love about this phone is that it is very user friendly, like most Samsungs are and it takes the best quality pictures! I am sure that I don't even know all that it can do, but so far I love it! The battery lasts me for nearly 2 days without having to charge it and I am always using it! It was the best choice I made when I bought it from Best Buy instead of my cell carrier! Will always buy from Best Buy for future phone purchases!

I got a 64GBritish Note 5 and am very happy with the phone. It's camera is unexpectedlying awesome and I have never ever had such beautiful and rich pictures taken by my previous Note 3 or iPhone 5s. Performance of the 8 core could is awesome too. Best phone in the market as of December 2015. Note it!!

Feels better in hand compared to the Note 4. Better screen, camera, much better fingerprint scanner, and better battery life (in my experience ). The nonremovable battery and lack of SD card were disappointing, but haven't been a problem with the 64 GB version. Wireless charging is fantastic.

Samsung Galaxy S6 great phone, too small...S6 Edge, great phone, but there's no tempered glass screen protector for it...and it's too small! The Note 5 is perfect! Once you use a bigger screen with this resolution, you can't go back to smaller. Note 5 is super fast and gorgeous!

I've had a Motorola and an LG smartphone. This is by far the best smartphone I've had so far. It's quick and the battery lasts! The camera is wonderful as well. Hopefully it stays this great. Based on everything I heard, this is one of the best phones to get. So far I agree.

The Galaxy Note5 is a great phone for multitaskers. The screen is large enough that using 2 apps at once is not cumbersome. The stylus is great for taking notes on the go (and of course for drawing silly pictures!) The call clarity is excellent and the phone feels sturdy.

Pros: Love the phone, super quick!! Samsung home run with this one!! The s-pen new functions are great!! You will not be sorry!! Cons: Battery life is not the greatest, but on the plus side with rapid charging in an little over a hour you have a fully charged phone.

QWERTY keyboard bigger and more user friendly. The camera is exquisite! Stylist is nice and conveniently stored in the phone. Crystal clear resolution. Great phone!

I really like this device. Even without root, I am enjoying this smartphone. It is the very first Android device I have owned without root and I honestly don't miss it all that much. It is very quick when switching between screens and opening apps, the camera takes very clear pictures and the zoom is outstanding. The free wireless charger is very convenient but doesn't always work consistently.

First Note phone I have ever owned and I will never go back! Love the ease of use that comes with android but also all the amazing features that go with the stylus of the Note5. Consider me hooked!

I waited a week before I posted this review because I wanted to make sure I wasn't dreaming. This phone is hands down the best phone I've had yet. Super fast, great battery life and beautiful screen resolution. A must have for the high-end smartphone user.
