I wish this phone was about 20 % smaller so guys to carry easier in a pocket....
It does get warm at times and you can't change batteries. It is a great phone best I ever had. Waterproof would be nice and .front facing speakers
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color
Cons: Too big
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love just about everything... But the baterry isn't great. I did try everythings and still drain so fast, with a fully charged I have maybe 3 hours.
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Couple major flaws prevent what could of been a perfect phone

Taking away the ir blaster and sd card addition prevented this from being a perfect follow up to the great note 4. The lack of sd expansion is just unforgivable as this is the premier productivity phone. Otherwise it's feature rich and the ambient always on display and screen off note taking along with customizable s pen floating buttons were a truly radical addition to the line. This is the first of the shift to the tall and skinny aspect ratios, however it works well in this model as compared to the increasingly awkward s8 and note 8s. Overall I love this phone, even with it's flaws
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: no sd card, weird ar

I have to say I do love my phone but there are a couple things that I think could be better one the battery sucks it still dies really fast especially when you use your phone on the internet it also still heats up on the screen if those two things could be fixed I would definitely give this phone a 5-star rating
I USED TO love my NOTE 5, but somehow every function and app no longer offers use of the BACK BUTTON. On Facebook and the message apps, when I click on a video or picture, I can no longer use the back button OR ANY BUTTON to return to FB or the msg app. I have to close it out and start again. These are only two examples of the LOSS of the USE of the BACK BUTTON. Hmmmmm... I wonder if Samsung has increasingly disabled the use of the back button in order to press me into buying their newest product, NOTE 8? NOT happy.
Pros: Durable
Cons: Did not meet expectations, dwindling features
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I've had my Note 5 for 2 years now. It is a great phone & I've never had a problem with it. With each upgrade it maintains functionality at a high level.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Durable, Built-in speakers, great camera, good size fits well in the hand. not small.
I would recommend this to a friend!

It’s a good phone

I’ve had iPhones and galaxy s series in the passed. First time with a note. The note 5 may not be the newest but still works great. It’s a bit big for what I would like to pocket it daily, but I love gaming and watching movies on this thing.
