Before I bought the Galaxy Note 5, I owned a Galaxy Note 2. When I first held the phone in my hands it was love on the first sight. I love that it's not so round like the Note II and also not as heavy as the Note II. Also love the fact that the display borders are very small, so that you nearly can use the full screen of the phone. Like it also very much that I don't have to fumble out the pen so difficult like it was with the Note II. I for my part don't miss the feature right now, that I can't replace the battery but what I really miss is the SD card to expand the memory. The Display is very sharp thanks the great AMOLED display and was one of the main points to buy this phone and not a Galaxy S5/S6. What I also like very much is the S-PEN and the handwrite recognition. After the first install and sync the old data with the new phone negative pushed at my AT&T version was the many bloatware apps from AT&T what's not in the first line a thing where Samsung is responsible for but I would expect that Samsung would make it possible (special when you can't expand the memory) to replace such software without rooting the phone. (It's only possible to disable the bloatware not to uninstall and give free space on the phone) What I really like and don't want miss is the great performance of the phone and also the battery run-time. When I use my Note II I was mostly at 6 PM at 15%. With my Galaxy Note 5 I'm at 6 PM at 65%. Also the fast charging is a great feature from this phone. Not to speak from the enhanced power saving function. The Galaxy Note 5 is optically as well as haptically very neat. Plastic and fake leather belong to the past. But unfortunately had the score of 5 apparently the design a higher priority than, for example, useful features such as a microSD card slot, and a replaceable battery.
Because in addition to the extensibility features disappeared as the conference microphone, customers need not fret that they will continue to make do with the Touch 4 need to take. The predecessor is the score of 5 in every way and as long as Samsung does not work on the performance problems, the new model is not a real upgrade also on this front.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Lightweight, fast camera, great display brightness
Cons: no sdcard, bad multitasking, neglected sound
I would recommend this to a friend!

I feel so easily connected to everything. Of course typical social media, texting, and apps run great on this but, it xomes equipt with word, and excel it really helps with school! The s-pen is a great feature, plus the screen has an amazing look. All of the settings are easily changed and accessible. I got everyone in my family hooked on the Note by Samsung
What a wonderful phone, as a upgrade from a previous top tier phone this phone blew me away the performance of the hardware to the fantastic look of the device is second to none.
Pros: Bright display, superb performance, s pen
Cons: slippery with glass back
I would recommend this to a friend!

Justin's Review

I really like the Galaxy Note 5. It has some awesome features and well worth the money.
I use to have the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 prior to this Note 5 and i have to say...the overall performance is incredibly faster. The format is nearly identical. With that being stated it makes it a simple and quick transition. The Note 5 is much lighter and not as bulky when comparing the two. The battery does drain quickly, just as it did with the Note 3 though. Overall im thoroughly pleased and content with the purchase I made.
It's a great phone. Easy to use a lot of cool things. There are some things missing though. Mostly the SD card slot they really need to bring that back
