The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is a great phone, I haven't had any issues with it. It is fragile so a case and screen protector is NEEDED! Other than that it's amazing, all the apps and features that come with it set it apart from all other devices. The andriod platform is flawless, I love how I can use it for business and even watch movies on it. The super Amoled display makes it seem like your watching videos in UHD. The camera is phenomenal, it can even take pictures in raw Format. I am available for an upgrade but in my opinion I have the best phone on the market.
Pros: Inexpensive, Realistic color, Bright display, very customizable
Cons: the phone is very fragile seeing its all glass, no port for an external micro sd card to expand st
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best note yet!

Absolutely the best phone I've ever used...the sound quality is pure and very loud. The camera is so amazing I catch great moments with clarity.
Coming from a Note 3 with 32 GB memory, this Note 5 is just as great as the 3 but with a better built frame and body, faster internals and a outstanding 2-K resolution screen!
I got the Platinum Gold version which is just a beautiful piece of tech! The aluminum body and frame is excellent, super sleek and sexy, makes the Note 3 look very outdated! This metal frame design is going to last a lot longer than usual, not that the note 3 body did me wrong, but coming from plastic to metal makes a world of difference! I love the "Corning Gorilla Glass 4" glass which is on the front and back, it seems to be really durable but also very smooth. Definitely a finger print magnet! A good phone case is needed for protection and safety!
The screen is a Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen, 16M colors, with a resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels. 2-K on a 5.7 screen makes everything sharper and define, 1440 x 2560 pixels (~518 ppi pixel density). As a photographer, that 2-K resolution comes in handy when viewing photos through my phone and it is super superb!! Beautiful screen, just make sure to take care and not set the brightness too high for too long as it might cause permanent or temporary image retention.
A lot of people have chosen not to buy this device because of it not having expandable memory or even battery access. I didn't find that to be a problem for me. I had my Note 3 for 2 years and I've never had to change the battery, the battery memory was really good and still works great till this day!
I don't load up my phone with lots and lots of media data, so 32 GB's is perfect.
This Note 5 looks better than other smartphones in the market, screen is one of the best around and again beats the iPhone's screen leaps and bounds!
I'v been using this phone for a few months, and its everything i wanted in a phone. Its super fast, thin, battery life is pretty good, but of course if your watching shows or gameplay, it runs down fairly easily. However charges back up very fast as well. I can run so many things at once, without slowing down, and super simple and easy to use. The versatility to customize it for your needs is perfect. Screen writing , and touch is intuitive. I've even spilled water on my phone, dropped it, and a few other mishaps, and still works like new. Only down side i would say is an appropriate place for a clutching strap, or something i can use to hang from my wrist...since the phone is fairly wide screen, an easier way to quickly carry it around would be nice.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Durable, Lightweight, fast os
