I've had this phone for about a month, and find it to be, overall, the best phone I've ever had. I've owned an I-phone, which I wasn't impressed with in any way. This phone has an amazing display, large enough to clearly see everything, is very user-friendly, intuitive, and fast and efficient. I would definitely recommend it overall to anyone looking for the best quality phone out there.
The note 5 is a great phone. The phone has a great deal of functionality and fast performance. Phone calls are crisp and clear. Does not drop the signal at all. The pen adds some unique features that I amstill learning to add productivity. Battery life is good and with fast charge has not been an issue. The only negative for me is the lack of IR blaster.
I've been a fan of the Note series and have owned all since the note 2, in fact I've bought all big screen phones released in the past 5 years. Tried to switch to ios and I couldn't last for more than 2 weeks. No matter which phone I try, I always end up going back to my Note 5, nothing comes close to it.
