The note 5 is by far my favorite phone I've owned. It is packed with stuff you need while not feeling over done. Although I don't find myself using the s-pen to often I like having it there. Its a great phone it takes some time getting used to the size but after you do I promise you will fall in love with it.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Built-in speakers, Durable, long battery
Cons: zero
I would recommend this to a friend!

At first when I seen the note 5 I thougt wow that's such a big phone but actually using it its the perfect size and extremely useful even the stylus it was always a pain to carry a stylus in my pocket and now it's just another part of the phone I've used so many of the phones features and still I discover more all the time my favorite is the screen mirror ability.
This Phone is Great, You Just Need to Fix the Charger Problems

This phone fits my personality. It's great for note taking. The S-note feature on the standby black screen is genius. My only gripe is that the fast charging problem that happened with the Galaxy S6, is present in this model. I am using the original charger that came with the phone (bought it about a month ago) and after a while the fast charging mode was inconsistent. With Battery at say 40% , I plug it in, it just says "Charging", and at one point an error popped up saying that my phone was charging too slowly so I should use the original charger...even though I am. Then came the system update on 12/18/15. Now the fast charging mode shows up consistently when I plug the phone in. That's awesome...but there are a couple problems. The fast charging is constantly on even when the battery is outside the fast charging parameters of 20%<>80% AND the cord overheats if the battery was too low when I plug it in. I will be calling customer support soon and possibly purchase a charger dock, which I hope works better. Anyone else have this problem?
Pros: Bright display, Built-in speakers, good size for note-taking
Cons: charger that comes with it needs troubleshooting

An easy switch with almost NO learning curve!

I finally upgraded to the Galaxy Note 5 from my LG2 (I know, I know) after much prodding from my daughter. I was afraid that I'd have a hard time transitioning from one to the other, but was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was! The large screen makes everything easy to see -- which has been a bit of a problem of late. :-P It downloaded all of my programs from the cloud, so all I had to do was rearrange the icons a bit. The sound is AWESOME!
The only downside so far is that I seem to lose the signal at times in some of the big box stores. Since I work in one of those, it can be a bit of a pain at times.
Cons: sometimes drops the signal in big box stores

I've had my Note5 for a month. There isn't much negative to say other than the battery life....I use my phone moderately and it needs to be charged twice a day, but it charges very fast. Other than that the phone is great!
