The best smartphone on the market

I have own several phones on my life but never a better one than Samsung note 5. The easy ways to handle the software its appearance and speed is the best I ever had.
Don't like the fact I paid 800 dollars for a smart phone that should be mine to do whatever I want with and I have a locked bootloader and if I attempt root, Knox bricks the phone I paid 800 dollars for. Once I buy it the phone is mine and I should be able to do what I please with it. Even if it means rooting it. I understand you want security for your phones with android and samsung pay but i do think it should be the consumers choice as to what they think is more important. Paying for something with their cell phone or having complete control over a device they pay a considerable amount for. Honestly though TouchWiz is getting good enough where you can almost get over rooting the phone if I can just get rid of all the bloatware wasting space and battery power on my phone. Disabling it and hiding it isn't enough for me cause it's still there. I love the themes and customization you can do because that's another major thing for why people root their phones.
Pros: Bright display, themes!
Cons: can you make it look like an iphone any more?
I would recommend this to a friend!

I made the right switch

Great as advertised. Four to five steps ahead with the other cellphones regarding technology. Far superior phone than its closest rival. I just wish it has a better texturing for grip/feel in handling.
My previous phablet, a Note 2, was a genuinely revolutionary product for its day. The Note 5 while lamentably lacking the expandable memory of the earlier models, compensates for this with superior design and truly impressive overall performance. The barely noticeable lag encountered when using specific, processor intensive applications on the Note 2 had been eliminated with this model, resulting in a breezy and highly responsive user experience.
