I was very angry at first when I found out that the Note 5 wasn't going to have a removable battery or external memory card like previous models. I had grown to love my Note 3 and it spoiled me so much so that any smaller phone would never do. Then I started thinking, the only thing I used the external memory card for was music, and there are so many cloud music services now so external memory was no longer an issue to me. Some awesome new features are Samsung Pay, the ability to take quick notes when the screen is off, and the camera has so many new features it is crazy. You can take 360 and RAW format pictures. Some features that could probably use improvement are wireless charging range(I have to take my Ballistic case off to charge, with the Note 3 I didn't), Group play is gone, and the phone does not support simultaneous voice and data streams like my Note 3(meaning i can't go on the internet or get emails while i am talking on the phone). Overall this phone does not disappoint, The high-quality build that everybody has been calling for has finally arrived.
I've had Samsung phones for the last 6 years and i gotta say i am very happy amd surprised with my new note 5. Great camera, very crisp videos and pictures. Display is amazing.
This is a great overall phone for daily use. there are several areas that I feel could be improved on but mostly are just personal preference. The feel of the bare phone in my hand doesnt feel sturdy but by adding a nice case that feeling is gone. The stylus is a great feature for me, I love being able to write my list instead of texting them to myself, also my son loves it when we draw pictures on Daddy's phone. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to purchase a new phone.
