Not a critical upgrade from a Note 4, some definite downsides
on August 27, 2015

I'll start with the downsides to the phone, since they are non-trivial.
1. Non-removable back. Important because you cannot add additional storage or swap batteries, I would happily accept more weight or larger dimension.
2. The back is Gorilla Glass now, instead of the faux leather back of the 4. I liked the back on the 4. It felt good in the hand, was cheap to replace if it got dinged, and served as protection. With a good screen cover, it was all the protection the phone needed, in my experience. Now, however, the back is something to be protected.
3. The stylus. Oh, the stylus. The way the stylus is ejected and inserted has been changed. Eject it by pushing on the stylus, and it will pop out far enough to grip it and pull the rest of the way out. The downside is it's possible to insert the stylus the wrong direction. There is no physical feedback...it slides in smoothly. Even if it's inserted just a small amount, it will get stuck, until the phone is turned off. At this point the phone's stylus sensor has been damaged suck that, at minimum, the air commands don't work. In my case, that's the worst of it. The stylus still works.
4. There isn't any plan to be quicker about updating Android versions.
The good:
1. I don't have benchmarks but it is fast, and the screen is as beautiful as the first.
2. Air commands seem improved, though I haven't had a chance to use them much. (See above about stylus issue)
3. Addition camera modes such as virtual shot, surround shot, animated photo, and video collage.
3. It is very pretty, FWIW. But, then, the Note 4 is also a handsome design.

I don't regret it, but it's not a compelling update. Especially for the price.
Pros: Bright display, Built-in speakers, Lightweight, new camera modes, photos, sound quality, usability, customer service, improved benchmarks, improved internet app
Cons: stylus can be inserted wrong and breaks sensor, integrated back, built-in battery, no memory card slot, cost, limited color choices, limited access to android os updates
I would recommend this to a friend!

I've had this phone for over a year now and I have no interest in upgrading because this phone is that good. I miss the IR blaster but I love the new look and feel. This is some pretty cool tech.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, best display...ever!, s pen. nuff said.
Cons: that price tag...ouch!

Seriously, the Note 5 is the epitome of everything you ever wanted in a smartphone. There is nothing left desired on this phone, even without the option to have external storage.
Pros: Inexpensive, Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: no external storage
