Samsung did a really great job this year, listening to their customers, adding back the expandable storage and making the phone Water resistant. All that without changing the new sleek design. Can't wait to see what they'll do with the Note 6 and Galaxy S8, in terms of removable battery!
Love the phone. Only thing that I don't like is the loss of the music player and having to use Google or downloading an app to use. Also my ringtones got moved tocthe music player and cant retrieve Other than that phone performs awesome.
As for having Android Tablets I was used to Android operating system although The 6.0.1 version on this phone works great. My only complaint is the battery, running it in battery saver mode, turning the live screen off and only using it for a couple phone calls during the day and intermittently checking email and Facebook , seems like the battery does alright. If I use it like I used my windows phone and listen to Pandora or a baseball game at work through At Bat, the battery falls pretty fast even though the screen is off. Other than that I really like this phone.
This is the best phone I have had since I have owned a cell phone. I have had the note series but considering I don't use the S Pen much why bother with the Note 5. It's small design, elegant Frame and Body makes this phone Superior to any other phone out there right now. I am thoroughly enjoying this phone and I'm excited about future S series from Samsung.
Pros: Inexpensive, Realistic color, Bright display, Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight, charger has remained the same
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great phone!! Blown speaker?

I absolutely love this phone, it's much faster than my S6 in every way. But every evening right before I normally restart my phone, I hope in the shower and open amazon music and play whatever I'm in the mood for. Well the speaker sounds blown. It's crackling so bad that's all I hear, but when I restart the phone it goes away. The phone will be fine until the next day around the same time. It will do this on youtube, and Facebook too. So I'm assuming it's a software issue. Whenever it happens I just restart the phone and it's fine. So other than that it's a great phone. The best I've ever owned.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display
Cons: speaker sounds blown restarting fixes problem
I would recommend this to a friend!
