I received this phone a month ago and I have really enjoyed my experience so far. The build quality is really nice and the camera is spot on. Probably the best resolution I have seen on a phone in my life. I am a bit bummed that it did not come with a IR blaster to control my tv. Really liked that about my note 4. But the speed makes up for it. I haven't gotten any lag.
I previously owned the Note 3 and was very happy with its speed, ability to multitask and quality. I was somewhat concerned about the Note 5's lack of a removable battery and lack of a memory card slot. Getting the 64GB version addressed my memory concerns, along with the ample cloud storage offered by Google and One Drive. So far I have been quite pleased with the battery life of the Note 5, which despite being smaller than the Note 3's, has shown greater stamina. I suspect the new version of Android works with Samsung's refinements in that regard, so if you're worried about battery life, I would say don't be.
Also, the build quality of the Note 5 is amazing. The Note 3 was a great phone, but I could see where the plastic back detracted from the quality feel. The Note 5's new body shouts "premium" and is easily as nice as the iPhone, if not nicer. Samsung also did a good job of tapering the edges of the back of the Note 5 to make it fit more comfortably in your hand while also helping with one-handed use. It's more prone to fingerprints on the back, but if that's your biggest gripe with the phone, you shouldn't let it keep you from buying it.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight, stunning build quality, great battery life, comfortable to hold
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have not owned a decent phone in a long time and this phone is the best phone i have had thus far i enjoy the large screen and beautiful display sound is much better then other phones ive owned processor is very fast and i love the fact it comes with Microsoft Word and Excel i guess the thing i didn't like was the headphones that came with it they always fall out of my ears i would suggest this phone to anyone.
This new galaxy note 5 is absolutely amazing, it's got raw power to take on any task, game, projects and whatever you throw at it. The screen is truly vivid and colors stand out with viewable pleasure. Samsung pay is excellent to use with the note 5 and it is accepted virtually anywhere, I never take out my wallet anymore. I love this phone and I cannot part with it, simply practical stunningly beautiful.
Pros: Inexpensive, Realistic color, Bright display, Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight, easy to use
