I really loved this phone...for someone who did a lot of multiple tasking, research and planning, I couldn't have chosen a better phone at the time (I upgraded to the Note 8). Takes great pictures and video as well (exception is dim lit areas), and battery life was not horrendous although after 2 years I did notice it drain a little quicker, but hey smart phones don't even last that long anymore! I've saved mine for a rainy day given its reliability.

this is by far the best note yet. I have been using the phone for about a week, The screen beautiful, the processor is very quick, the short custs and slimmed down bloatware are also very handy. The only issu if you want to call it that, were ghost sounds. it appeared that there were notifications but there was nothing there. It turned out the is a notification alert to alert you about missed notifications that was on in the settings. since turning that off the phone has been perfect.

As a longtime user of the Note line, when I saw that Samsung had removed SD card support and switched to a sealed battery (though this was less of an issue), I originally planned to skip the Note 5, but between the online reviews and experience playing with demo models in stores I was sucked in and finally broke down and upgraded. This puts my Note 4 to shame and only 2 weeks after I got it I got the Marshmallow update which made the phone even better.

The processor alone sold me on this phone; however, I am an avid picture person and the camera is fantastic.

I pre-ordered the note 5 because my note 3 was starting to act up and I was long overdue for an upgrade. I love everything about it so far. It's very similar to previous galaxy note's with a few added features and upgrades. I'm not thrilled with the fact the battery and memory are no longer removable or upgradable but with the larger storage model I should be ok.

Have a lot I do on my note5 and may Galaxy 3 was kind of tapping out on power and storage. Upset I couldn't add storage, but went for the 64GB so I wouldn't have to worry. It has been great, but we ended up with some extra portable power in case it and/or my wife's tablet dies. Got a 20,000 unit. Got two. If used "some" it WILL last all day, if used a lot, probably from maybe 7;00 till 5:00 and be around 40-30%.

User friendly. Nice size and feel. The things you would expect from all Samsung products.
My only complaints are the non removable battery and no more micro SD slot.
