Awesome screen on the Note 5. Sweet pen that comes with it, very easy to use. Unit works as it is represented,
Couple of things that this unit should have had and as a consumer I feel shorted on function and advanced options for the cost. 1. It has no SD slot for memory expansions. 2. Unit is not waterproof which is way behind the field of other or earlier released products 3. The Note 5 is about half the speed of the new S7's with cpu/memory for the same cost.
Here again, there is no way to upgrade the unit that was just purchased just 2 months ago, due to carrier regulations. So if the public would have known that the next unit to be released to the public market, would be twice as fast, waterproof, have memory sd slot for the same cost, one would probably have waited to upgrade.
Samsung builds super awesome products. I own TV's, Monitors, Phones, and would recommend Samsung to anyone.
Cons: Did not meet expectations, not sd card ready, not waterproof, half the speed of the next unit s7 for same cost.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I was a devoted Windows phone fan. I had a difficult time giving up my Windows phone because it was everything I needed and loved it. Learning to use the Samsung Note 5 took a little time but was not difficult and completely worth it. I haven't looked back and do not miss my wp. Well, I do miss the wp glance screen. Note 5 has daydream but it doesn't come on when you wave your hand over your phone like glance does. The Note5 is a quality phone with quick responsiveness that is readily updated when needed. I highly recommend it.
it lacks the removable battery and the sd card but in terms of performance this is a different level. If you can live without those features it's the ideal phone.
