I really like this phone and the features of this phone. I like that I can write on the screen, great for quick notes and now I never lose them!! I learn new stuff daily so I am still exploring the the color is great, Screen is large but not too large. It is fast. Great voice quality. Overall, I'm loving it!
At first i wasnt sure what to expext with a non removable battery. I can honestly say it is performing Much better than i expected! The speed of the processor is fantastic! Boots up extremely faster than my last phone galaxy s5. Highly recommend to anyone!
I've been using note series since 2 and i love it... i love them all. Display and features... the note series always have been the top of the line and surely note 5 has great display and packed w/ all kinds of features, which I am determined this time to try to explore all of them.
Although same display size, I like the fact that note 5 made it a little slimmer which makes a lot a difference in holing it more comfortably.
One thing about battery... it would've been nice if it went w/ a little bigger one... but for me it's not too bad bec. I'm around a charger most the day.
The 5th generation galaxy note 5 by Samsung seems to be one of the truest adaptations of what consumers have been dreaming about for decades. At every turn, I am met with a such a sophisticated solution for what it is I'm trying to do. The expansiveness of the apps finally come to life as all commands occur swiftly and with extreme ease. The cameras are perfect, the new live broadcast video mode is awesome, the sharpness of the screen, it's rapid charging. It's wireless fruition. I pull the stylus out and it makes an almost medieval sound that really does sound like a knight whipping out a sword. And the shortcuts that come up are amazing. Scroll capture makes it so easy to just clip that Web page in one easy to manage photo. I mean it stays simple. In ways there are still limited battery life and setting options. Brightness decides a lot. Daytime outdoor use brings it way down. And the setting options are somehow seemingly more limited than I remember with my past phones. I don't like some of the formatting and don't feel comfortable with third party apps taking extensive permissions. My carrier doesn't really allow for the video online streaming quality to be high quality and LTE feels very limited. Unless it's an ad. Then it's HD? The build of the phone makes it impossible to enjoy without a cover. Interestingly enough though is pretty durable. Ive been a bit careful with mine but it's withstood accidental drops onto the carpet without signs. Kind of wishing it were waterproof as a default. Speakers are dank. Don't get a carrier that only allows for data or phone call at one time. Major setback. The cases for this phone seem very limited still. A+ though Samsung. The black screen notepad that comes up for logged out use is discreet and effective for tight business room settings. A very good phone for creatives.
Pros: Inexpensive, Realistic color, Bright display, Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight, new document app features, awesome ease, speakers are nice
Cons: Not high def, not waterproof, antenna seems to be poor, still don't know what the stylus button does?, needs more setting options, volume limit and annoying pop up still occurs.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Coming from an iPhone 6 plus this phone was a breeze to use. This phone is super fast. Great battery. And is just absolutely gorgeous. By far my absolute favorite phone so far!
