Best phone EVER made!

This phone is by far, hands down, the best phone ever made. Its been refined for the better over the years. Samsung knocked it out of the part! The back of the case is a little slippery but thats my only complaint, and i really wouldnt even say its a complaint.
Only had this phone a month but lots of improvements since the Note 4 and 3 that I previously was renting.
The fact I can write a quick Action Memo and save it the minute I remove my S Pen when display is off is a really nice touch and I use that rather often. However, Action Memos still need lots of improvements, like how thick I want the pen to write and the ability to SAVE pen styles (like one can in S Notes) would be much appreciated when the Note 6 is released.
Another added feature for Note 5 from the previous Note phones is the ability to screen capture an entire long screen (which previously required taking MULTIPLE screenshots manually).
All that the user has to do is remove the S Pen, activate Screen Write, and while the screen seen on the display is captured, the user can click on the Scroll Capture button on the bottom left of the screen and EVERYTHING will be captured (even what you don't see).
This cool feature, however, does NOT work in all apps, but it works in the most common ones, e.g., Google Now. User will get a chance to "Capture More" if they need more of the screen captured OR they can press "Done" OR will see a note stating "Nothing else to capture." Once finalized, all the captures "stitch together" into ONE capture.
I find this feature particularly helpful when someone says "can you email me a screenshot?" or I want to post one on social media without having to take multiple shots and just have it all in one jpeg or whatever.
I am very happy to have upgraded recently from the Note 4. The S Pen on the Note 5 is much improved (just be careful not to insert it upside down in the phone or it may get stuck!!!!).
Many of the similar features that were on the Note 4 are much easier to access and use on the Note 5 so I am using those more often now (e.g., "Smart Select").
The new S Pen design really does write better and and is a huge improvement over the ones provided with previous Note phones!
I especially enjoy the fact that I can add a few app shortcuts of my own to the Air Command menu that pops up. The floating icon for the Air Command is very useful for me.
One downfall for me with the Note 5 is that unlike the predecessor phones in this series, I am not thrilled about the headphone jack located on bottom of phone and hope they put it back on top for the Note 6!
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Before this phone I had an Iphone5. The picture quality and graphics are so much better. The sound quality is better also. When I play music from my phone it sounds like stereo quality.
Definitely a great buy now I wish the transfer was easier and I wish it had a SD that is super golden for me me and a slot for a global sim card do to my travels other than that I love it
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Built-in speakers, Lightweight, the pen
Cons: sd card, global sim slot
I would recommend this to a friend!

I really expected to hate this phone. I have always been against owning a phone with a non-removable battery. I'm over it. Although I still prefer phones with removable batteries, I still like my phone. A LOT! I also didn't like that it doesnt have a micro-sd expansion slot. I still don't like this. I have a lot of music and would prefer to be able to use one with this phone.
Pros: Bright display
Cons: no micro-sd expansion slot
I would recommend this to a friend!

The Note 5 is an absolute iPhone killer. There is no real competition out there.
