I bought this phone and it was terrible. It had poor call quality. Nobody could hear me. The phone had static constanly. I really hate the layout of the buttons. Constantly pressed the back button while holding phone
Pros: Bright display
Cons: Poor quality
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I am a service technichian and use my Note5 daily. I have not needed to use a printer, ink, or paper since purchasing my phone. I love the write on PDF; invaluable! Overall I gave the review a 3 because of some glitchiness, autocorrect ineptness, and design flaw which renders the spen inop for detection (DO NOT allow the spen to placed in the port backwards, removing it without knowing how to safely, will break the sensor mechanism.).
Pros: Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: spen receiver port poorly designed
I would recommend this to a friend!

TRUE LOVE

I absolutely LOVE this phone! The writing tool for everything on the phone is a major plus for me. My brain is wired to my hands and I have a difficult time remembering things that I type into my calendar (as with other phones) This phone allows me to write directly into my calendar and then converts it into legible text. Now when my alert sounds I actually remember to do what it is alerting me for. The most helpful feature on this phone is using the S-Pen even when the screen is off. I would have notes written on mail, scrap papers, post its, you name it then I would have to run around the house looking for the scrap of paper that I wrote on. With this phone when something hits my head I can just remove my s-pen write it down and save it. Everything is saved nice and tidy in my phone and I no longer have the headache of trying to find where I wrote it down. My 3 yr loves this option also and it's a lot of fun to open S-Note and find new masterpieces that she has drawn for me. The camera takes beautiful, vivid pictures and amazing videos. I was afraid it was going to be too big since I am used to smaller phones but the screen is the perfect size. I now have my Netflix, Hulu and Showbox downloaded on my phone and watch all of my TV and movies on my phone. I cancelled my cable and am saving over $70 a month. I really cannot say enough about this phone and I have not found a feature that I do not like or do not utilize.
The product hasn't slowed down yet. The performance is great and reliable. It feels secure for it finger print reader and makes unlocking the phone faster than any other previous phone that I owned. The best part of the phone is the styles witch comes with the phone. The battery last the whole day even when its use heavily.
I chose this device because I use my phone every single second in the day, and out of all the devices out right now, this one has more features. It has a quad hd amoled display, which is the best smartphone screen you can find. 32 gb base model. Best camera on a smartphone. Fingerprint sensor is fast and reliable. Fast procesor and a lot of power, it doesnt slow down with anything. Great battery, not as good as the s7 edge, but it still keeps up throughtout the day. And the software adds a lot of features, including 2 windows open at the same time. The spen has a lot of features too, but you forget its there, but its good to have it anyways, it doesnt bother. Overal, i love my note 5, even thought it isnt the latest smartphone, but it still offers all of the features i want on a smartphone.
