I love Samsung products but the new Note 5 took the cake. The design is super sleek and stylish with a glass back. This defiantly turns heads. 4 gigs of storage, and the clicking S pen which you can use to write on the screen when blacked out. I'm in love also with the fact that the screen goes to the edge of the phone. I love what they've done with the bezelles as well. This phone is great for power users it can definitely keep up. I'm always doing lots of things a once on this phone and it never fails. I love my new Note 5 and would recommend it to everybody. This is an overall great phone to have.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Durable
Cons: no removable battery or sd slot
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Camera and Very Fast

I upgraded from Galaxy S5 to Note 5 on the Sprint network. The two least favorable things about the S5 were its slow performance (especially after Lollipop update) and the horrible camera. I think that Samsung really outdid themselves in these two areas on the Note 5. Not only is it fast, is super smooth. I am pretty happy with the camera as well. The phone does not feel too big. The design helps this a lot. I think the spen can be even more useful in the future. Now that I am used this size it will be very hard to use anything smaller. It grows on you, quickly.
I upgraded from the Note 2. It was a hard decision to give up the removable battery and SIM card. But the iPhone has never had either so I took the plunge. Overall, I think the phone is well worth it. and gave it 5-stars except 4-stars in features. The wireless charger is nice but expensive. The smart cover is definitely worth buying.
COMPLAINTS: (1). Searching Help in the phone is not very helpful. (2). Samsung's default apps took 4 out of 6 slots under Air Command. (3). No manual or weblink comes with the phone so expect to spend a lot of time discovering. (4). I wish it had Note 2's calendar. (5). This phone makes all kinds of notification noises so when the "missing s-pen" alarm went off I ignored it. It's chirpy and not very loud. Fortunately, I found my s-pen the next day.
I am very pleased with the power saving which was my biggest complaint about Note 2. and the reason why I almost got the Note 4 instead. I carried 2 extra batteries because I spend more time on the Internet than talking. Lastly, if you don't activate your Samsung account you won't download the rest of the features for this phone. Again, 5-stars because my complaints are very minor and I am really enjoying the massive amount of features in the Note 5.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Built-in speakers, Lightweight, good camera
Cons: expensive accessories

The phone is lightweight and has a great battery life. The built in stylus is a cool bonus as well.
Of all the phones I've ever owned, this is definitely the most productive, entertaining and beautiful phone. The screen and camera is among the best in its class. If samsung stays on this level of production and engineering (while continually raising the bar) i will be a samsung customer for many years to come.
I have had Galaxy s4 and the s5 Active. I have been very content with the Galaxy line. This time I decided to try the Note Family. Well here I am 3 weeks later and loving my phone. The speed of the processor and the screen clarity is amazing. There is still a lot I need to learn and I can't wait to see what else is in store for me.
