Performs well, I previously had the note2. The note 5 has some great new features, I really enjoy the stylus upgrades, and the heart rate sensor, and built in health tracking. I do wish that it had expandable memory still. The battery not being replaceable is not an issue as the phone charges super fast,and the battery seems to last quite a long time. I hope it stays that way with the life span of the phone. It is sort of slick, and difficult to hold on to, and I wish it did not look quite so much like the iPhone.
Pros: Bright display, Built-in speakers, Durable, love the note features!
Cons: very slick to hold on to.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Starting with the off screen stylus. I thought it was so convenient to be able to write the moment I pulled out the pen and write on the screen immediately. The graphics the smoothness and the HD capability it's beyond what I expected.
The Note5 is impressive and a surprising step up from the Note4.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight, new stylus features
I would recommend this to a friend!

The features on this phone where well thought out the fingerprint password works great does it matter which way i turrn my thumb it catches it. the talk to text catches every word I say even when I had a cold now that's amazing. Also the tutorial that you can get for this phone have so many more amazing features than I ever thought was possible it's like having a portable computer /phone all in one. I love to play games on my phone and the display is very clear crystal clear. So if I were asked would I recommend this phone to anyone my answer would be you once you get one you won't live without one. One more thing i that I notice that is a exceptiomal is the battery life and how quickly it charges and lasts even while playing games all day long. 10 stars should be a choice for ratings and besise the like button should be a love button...i love the galaxy note 5 way to go samsung great work on this one and it will be hard to create one better than this i feel sorry for the guy who has that job !!!!
The Note 5 has a beautiful screen, a quality build and some nice additional features. However, the like of expandable storage (which can be located behind the sim in the sim tray i.e. Moto X), infrequent system and security updates, and how slippery the back of the phone is are some comprimising cons.
Cons: no expandable storage, system/security updates take too long to release, slippery to hold
I would recommend this to a friend!

The only thing I feel that would make this better would be not to have had the external memory card removed, since I personally had a few with different music on them for different genres. But all in all great product. Looking forward to the next version. Bring back the ext SD.
