front note 3 to amazing

This thing is great. I was charging constantly and had to close all open apps, turn off wifi and Bluetooth just to not have a lag. I no longer have to do any of that. It is full of new features and the music amplifier feature is amazing. I highly recommend this phone. It is a little on the pricy side. The camera is great. Just really great. The quick charger makes my life so much easier. I got the 64 gb. Wish I could have gotten white.
So far (after about 3 weeks) I am quite impressed with my Note 5. Coming from the iOS platform has been a bit daunting, even infuriating in the first few days, but overall the device is starting to become a part of me.
Great stuff first! The screen is beautiful! Nice and sharp with plenty of contrast and brightness, tiny bezel, good feel. Taps, swipes, multitouch is very responsive with the S Pen and old-school analog input (my fingers). Samsung Pay is wonderful too. I've had only one store unable to use it, and ironically it was the Sprint Store. Awkward. The phone is speedy in every regard and WiFi and LTE are top-notch. The S Pen is actually much more useful than I had anticipated. The ability to write on documents, take pixel-perfect screenclips and edit text are features I use nearly every day.
Now the not-so-great stuff... Actually most of what I don't like about the Note 5 has more to do with my carrier and/or Android itself than the phone. I loved iMessage and I miss it terribly. The copy/paste function feels clunky to me. Some of my texts fail. I assume none of these are the fault of the phone, so I can't really count that against it. However, some of the Samsung software bundled with the phone (and apparently un-removable) does not work so well. The S Note WIDGET simply doesn't display notes like I feel it should, and I cannot locate any settings to change it. Samsung Pay sometimes just won't recognize my bottom-up swipes, which can be a little embarrassing when attempting to look cool in the checkout line. Also I don't own any Samsung Gear products, so why can't I get rid of the Gear app?
All in all though I am hugely satisfied with the Note 5, as I am with all my Samsung products. 4+ stars for sure. I'm sure in future software updates (PLEASE KEEP THEM COMING!!) this will easily become a 5-star device.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display
Cons: subpar proprietary software
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love everything about this phone, build quality, speed. Pictures, OMG the pictures.. Amazing. My only complaint about this phone is, the headphones it comes with are junk. Pretty disappointed in Samsung for that. All the attention to detail only to ship sub standard headphones. I've seen better at the dollar store.. but don't get me wrong I Love this phone.
