Love the fact of having large screen with a relatively small footprint. Even with the 5.7" screen, phone is thin enough to place in my pants pocket. Love the the stylus locks in to the phone and extra tips are provided with the unit. Bright clear HD display, battery life is not bad at all and having the rapid charger helps me get going fast when needed. Only minus I would have for the phone is not having the ability to expand storage by not providing SSD slot.
The Note 5 is my first android smart phone after owning six iphones. The Note 5 is an excellent device for work, entertainment and all around enjoyment, It provides a processing speed that allows me to effecientl work on different projects simultaneously and all the great apps I need for gaming, music and enjoyment. The 18mp rear camera provides excellent photos and the editing tools for same are top notch. Never going back to iphone.
Pros: Realistic color, stylus, writing notes without turning on the screen
I would recommend this to a friend!

I've had my note 5 since September and with every passing day I love it more. There are so many features it seems I discover another one everyday. The battery life is as good as I've had with a smartphone.
Pros: Durable
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is an excellent choice for anyone who wants a "smartphone". The overall features are awesome.This us my laptop now. After getting this i don't use the laptop. The camera is very good. I am slowly learning all the features. Another bright addition is the pen. I use it to a lot and very helpful. I will recomend to anyone who is thinking of buying a smartphone. The apps in this are also excellant. I would like to have sd card slot for this because I like to snap photos but not enough memory. Hopefully next one will have.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best Cell Phone

This is my third cell phone in about 8 years and my first Android & Samsung. My daughter recommended the phone and I trusted her opinion. She steered me right. I have had this phone for just about 4 months. I needed a phone that was more functional and addressed my needs when interviewing people 'out in the field.' It is simply more useful, more functional and overall easier to use and serves my needs better than any other phone I have ever had - ever! My only regret with this phone is that I did not previously get the Note 4 when I had the opportunity. But, I suspect my next phone will also be a Samsung. I cannot imagine ever finding another cell phone / (ph)tablet that I could find more satisfying (except maybe more memory and a little faster).
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
Cons: more memory
I would recommend this to a friend!

Just when I thought my Samsung couldn't get better...

This is truly a smartohone: no step pairing with other devices. (It's important to me). Long battery life. Fast computer. Still haven't mastered the stylus, but that's on me . It'seems slightly bigger than my last phone (Galaxy S4), but easy to hold and handle. Beautiful HD BIG display.Tons of apps. Right now, my favorite feature is the biometric lock. Very happy with this phone.
I did a lot of research, read many reviews (like DP Review, DXO mark that review pro camera's & lenses) and concluded this camera is on top, even edging past iPhone 6S+, LG G4 & others. The screen is beautiful and sharp, it's very user friendly, has more features than most of us will probably use. Great battery life too. I do wish the battery was exchangeable and had a micro SD slot. My first smartphone was an iphone, and many people say that I phones are simpler and easier to use, but not in my opinion, and switching from an iPhone was a very easy transition. Voice command is almost perfect, and the Google map / GPS is much simpler to use w/ the full functions than the iphone. I love having the S-Pen even though I'm still learning all of its full function & features. So check this phone out, you won't be disappointed.
