First, let me start by saying I switched from iPhone 6 to the Note 5, so my 3 stars for performance are strictly based on that comparison. There are some lags that I notice on the Note 5 that I never noticed on iPhone, but there are of course a billion new things I can do now, so I have taken that into account. That being said, I LOVE this phone. They say once you go phablet you never go back, and I believe them. The stylus is great for quick note taking - one of my favorite features is being able to pull the S Pen out and write notes on the screen while it's off. Over all, a great purchase and I'm super happy.
Love the camera and the snappy performance. The memory limitation of 32gb is a major drawback in my opinion, the change to a battery that is not user replaceable is another negative point, but not a major one. Can not see the logic to change system design on this generation of Samsung phones. That said, I am satisfied with the phablet and its performance. Just hope the limitations of memory and battery design does not change my opinion.
Pros: Bright display, performance, great screen
Cons: limitation on memory, fixed battery
I would recommend this to a friend!
