I just purchased my note. So far it is great. The design is well laid out. The features are on par or above an i-phone. Photo capabilities are excellent. Screen resolution is great. I'm a happy customer at this point.
The Note 5 exhibits amazing features, yet some of pre-installed apps, and background features make its battery to run low very quickly. Understanding a phone these days is more than that is cool, but it needs to be balanced as well. Previous phone versions were more battery friendly, I just wish this one could be as well.
