    I have been going to a couple concerts/ events and everyone always tells me my phone records better than theirs. Besides the camera battery is sufficient handling is easy but it does get a little hot. Would recommend

    I upgraded from the Note3 to the Note5 in Nov. 2015. It has only been a month and a half but I love this new phone. It is so crystal clear, sharp pictures, good call quality and the "S" Pen. If you're considering an upgrade ....... consider this instrument. I got the 64G model so that I'd be sure there was sufficient storage/memory in the future. I also have the Samsung 'wireless' charger (which actually isn't wireless) but it charges the phone without a wire being connected to the phone itself. The new "fast charge" cord which comes with this phone is great also. Fully charges the phone in the area of 1 hour.

    I replaced my Note 4 with this phone. Although the Note 5 does not have removable storage or a removable battery, it is outstanding! The available storage options were more than sufficient for my business and personal needs and the battery lasts two days. Additionally, the enhanced S-Pen and the additional RAM make this easy to use and lightening fast. I'm loving the 5 and looking forward to the 6.

    I thought the step up in size from my S5 to Note 5 would be an issue, but I love it. And I love the stylus! Everything else works just as well as my S5, but bigger.

    The phone is fast and the battery life is impressive. The glass back is disappointing as it only is an area of weakness rather than a display of great design. The curved screen display also makes it difficult to properly adhere a glass screen protector.

    Definitely faster. Liked note 3 pen, multiwindows functionality and external memory slot better, but wireless charging is nice. Camera is almost good. At least shutter sound can be turned off now. Very easy to transfer settings from note 3

    I have owned the Note 2 and loved it. I was debating back and forth between the IPhone 6s and the note 5 for months. However, I am happy to say I chose the Note 5. There are so many things you can do with the phone. The speed it awesome, as well as it's multi-functionality. I have no regrets with the choice I made.

    I am really impressed with this Phone/Tablet!! It has all the designs of an excellent phone as well as an efficient tablet. I originally was going to purchase the Galaxy S6 Edge Phone; but after the Best Buy Employee showed me the Galaxy Note 5, it was the perfect fit for me! I love the idea I can have a phone and a tablet all in one! I highly recommend the Note 5!!

    I transition from a Galaxy S4 to the Note 5. The battery life is better and the processing time is much quicker. Slightly disappointed in the extinction of the removable SD card and battery as well as the absence of USB Type-C.

    I'm absolutely in love with my Galaxy Note5! It's so pretty and it gets everything done that I need it to on daily basis. The battery life is much better than my previous phone, the Galaxy Note 3. I can't recommend this phone enough. The only thing I don't like is that there isn't a white 64GB phone for Verizon, so I had to get it in black.
