Slim and easy to carry. This is my 1st Note and I'm loving it. Transferring data was easy. Startup instructions good. I enjoy using the fingerprint to unlock the phone. Works great! I stored both my thumb and another finger to use. Using the pen while the phone is off is so cool. The wireless charging works well too. The camera is super, I'm now can take photos in the shade while my subject stands in the sun. Never been able to do this before! This is my favorite phone !
I resisted getting a smartphone for years, but finally did it when I hit a Black Friday sale and got my Galaxy Note 5. SO GLAD I DID! It's quick, has great battery life once I shut down some apps, and is just plain fun to use and play with.
I have owned Samsung phones for a long time (galaxy s3, note4, s5). I must say while the note 5 is a very beautiful phone, I am disappointed that Samsung decided to seal the back of the phone so you can not remove the battery as well as their decision to abandon the memory card option. As for performance, I have had a lot of trouble with media lag and screen freezing while playing video. This is the second note 5 Verizon has sent me (Brand new) to try and resolve the issue and I am still having the problem. I may go back to my Note 4 if this problem can't be fixed.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Love this phone! Has great picture quality very clear and I like how fast it takes the pictures! Also if you need to write down a note quickly this phone has that feature and you don't have to worry about going to the S NOTE app to do that as long as your screen is off you just pop out the pen and you automatically have a note screen to write what you need! The Note 5 has excellent battery life. I am constantly on my phone watching videos, playing music, on Facebook, Twitter, downloading new apps and still have plenty of battery life at the end of the day. I'm pretty sure there are many more great features I just haven't had the chance to to do more. I just got my Note 5 a couple of weeks ago but I love this phone!
