Note5: Robust, Sexy, & Highly-Functional Phone
on September 1, 2016
Posted by: PaleDan

Expertise:Expert
Disclaimer: My review of the Note5 is heavily biased towards a student/avid notetaker's perspective, so, keep that in mind when deciding if a Galaxy Note device is right for you.
This phone is very well-designed. I use the stylus multiple times daily and find it (the S-Pen) to be extremely useful, functional & efficient. I find my "swype"-ing (typing) accuracy & speed as well as typing-fatiguability to all be improved when using the stylus. Additionally, the S-Pen makes it easy to take & edit custom-sized screenshots on the fly and share them with apps or even directly copy/embed them into notetaking apps. I find this capability to be especially useful when creating detailed, image-filled notebooks in OneNote (which I tend to do a lot when creating study/cheat sheets for my college courses).
Aside from the note-taking & organization features of this phone, the Note5's 4GB of ram & very capable octa-core cpu provide a smooth, nearly lag/glitch-free everyday user-experience. The ergonomics & overall size of this phone are perfect for me; granted, I am a 6'3" guy with pretty large hands. This phone might be uncomfortable to hold (at least during one-handed operation) for someone with smaller or possibly even average-sized hands, especially if a case is used, adding extra girth to the phone. The appearance & materials of this device are all top notch & have held up very well for me since I bought this phone about one year ago. The Note5 has a sleek, modern, polished look to it that makes it stand out; several friends & people in public have commented on my phone's style or asked me "What phone is that?"
The only glitch that I can recall running into on this device over my one year of usage of it is a software glitch where the recent-apps button on the bottom-left of the phone sometimes shows the message "no recently used apps" regardless of whether I had recently used or had opened any apps, but I can't definitively attribute this to Samsung's software team.
Overall, I highly recommend this phone to any smartphone enthusiast, avid student, businesses professional, or anyone who takes seriously: functionality, time-management, organization, &/or design.
Cheers,

Only issue i have had with the phone, is that after months of using, it will freeze & start restarting itself. The screen is big enough for any videos & the phone is very light.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, Built-in speakers

I love my samsung galaxy note 5

Since I purchased my Samsung Galaxy Note 5. I hardly ever use my tablet. The Note 5 is so powerful, I can do all of my work on it; I no longer have to travel with my computer or my tablet or a camera. My pictures come out perfectly and they are easy to edit ,categorize, and share. The S note feature is much more user friendly and it is easy to jot down a thought with the stylus right on a blank screen. I am not someone who I would particularly call tech savvy so I believe if I have learned to take advantage of these features, just about anyone can!
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Durable, Lightweight, Built-in speakers, powerful easy to use technology
Cons: expensive
