Great phone with features you will actually use

I upgraded to the Note 5 from a Galaxy S4. This is my third Samsung phone now and I couldn't be happier. I was torn between the Galaxy S6 Edge and the Note 5. I was initially thrown off by the inability to expand storage on the Note, but after reading many reviews, I decided to go with it. I went with the 32G and have yet to have any issues. I do not have a lot of music on my phone, but I do have hundreds of pictures and some videos. I also use a LOT of apps. My favorite feature is the stylus. I use it for a lot of different things from jotting down notes to games that require a finer point than a fingertip. The bigger screen makes watching Netflix or YouTube so much nicer. The speakers are clear and the display is optimal. The camera gives high quality pictures and videos with the main camera and the "selfie" camera is the best I have seen on other phones. A great safety feature is the "SOS" option. In case you have a medical emergency or if (God forbid) you are a victim of an attack it will do the following: 1.) Takes a picture from your front facing camera 2.) Takes a picture from your rear facing camera 3.) Records a short audio or whatever is going on4.) Marks down your GPS location 5.) Sends it select few contacts you choose. I think this is an important feature, especially for kids, young people, or elderly people. The Note 5 is also one of the devices that utilizes the wireless charging. I like having that option because it makes it easy to just grab it if it rings while charging and puts less wear and tear on the charging port. Only downside is that the wireless charging is a lot slower when compared to regular charging (especially the new faster charger that now comes with the phone). All in all, battery life is about what you'd expect from an android phone. I use mine as my phone, messenger, game system, computer, and GPS so I have to charge more often than a lot of people. I just make sure I always have access to a charger. I think the battery life will be pretty good for normal users. There are a few other options like the "side by side" feature that I don't use, so I cannot really comment on those. If I had to say anything negative about the phone, it would be the sheer slickness of the back. While I love the look and feel of the glass back, until I got a case for it I was terrified of it slipping out of my hands. Luckily I soon found a great case that alleviated that issue. I highly recommend a good, sturdy case to protect your investment.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Lightweight, large screen, stylus
Cons: very slick back
I would recommend this to a friend!

The Master of the Stylus

The Note 5 is a high-grade premium phone but is also fo the basic users. The device has plenty of features for a basic user and a developer. The S-pen comes in handy when needing to write a note down or selecting a part of the screen for a screen capture. The S-pen has a very nice design feeling very sleek and as well being very clicky. The Note 5 has a curved back for easy holding in the hand which almost creates an edge feeling which is very nice. The only downfall was the no micro SD slot and no removable battery. All in all, the note 5 is a premium phone for all.
I am a private investigator. I run Cagle and Associates. We are based on Oklahoma City. The features are amazing. It helps in my line of work. I need to be able to write things down quickly and keep things secure. This does it all for me.
If you are an android fanatic such as myself than you will love the Note 5! In my honest opinion this is by far the best android phone that is out to date . It has so many useful features that anyone can learn how to use and master to unleash the full potential of this sleek, beautiful and powerful device the geniuses at Samsung have conjured up.
Pros: Inexpensive, Realistic color, Bright display, Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight, s pen multi tasking capable
