Samsung - Galaxy Note5 4G LTE with 64GB Memory Cell Phone (Verizon)

This has to be the fastest phone I have ever had. It's the best phone camera I have ever had. I thought the S6 plus looked pretty cool, but I thought I would break my trend and jump to the NOTE, since it's the same specs. I really appreciate the stylus. Samsung Pay is insane. I LOVE to go into places and pay with my phone, after the cashier tells me they are not set up for mobile payments. They look at me like I am some sort of Wizard. Beautiful screen, excellent battery life, comfortable.... How do I give this 6 stars???

I am kind of a gear head when it comes to phones. I have never had a phone this snappy. Coming from the S2, S3, S4, and S5, I am genuinely impressed. Every click is instant. The camera comes up with two taps of the home button. I can walk down the street, take a picture, and it's not blurry!!! Low light photos are pretty decent. Same megapixel rating as my S4 and S5, but much more detail in the photos! Pros: Incredibly fast. Can run emulators for more advanced systems without crackle. Battery life is amazing -- 100% at 8:30a; 90% at 2:09p. (Varies on some days, but the fast charge is quick.) I didn't have my phone sitting right on the inductive charger last night. It was at 40% this morning. Charged it in the car for 20 minutes and here at work for 30 minutes. It was at 100%. My co-worker has a plain S6, and his battery does not last like mine. (Could be that he gets a weaker signal where he sits.) Internal memory truly is way faster than my super-fast micro-SD. Photo gallery pictures populate almost instantly. Fingerprint sensor is way slicker than the S5's. Cons: They got rid of the IR blaster. No more remote control :-(. Memory card and battery are not removable, but WOW! I don't worry much about battery anymore, but really preferred my Mophie (for my S5) over previous bulkier batteries. Would be nice to have a place to store music on an external card. Hoping for an Incipio battery/memory case for this phone. Meanwhile 64GB of screaming fast memory is plenty. I hate to be this hooked on this phone, but 4GB of RAM and 8-cores are killer. I am even getting into the whole s-pen craze. I am going to attach an image. I will only crop the photo, show zoom section of tree, and save at PhotoShop 72% jpeg format.

Love this phone! I've been a Samsung fan for sometime now. My last phone was a Galaxy S5, I feel like theveryone Note 5 is 10 times faster. Would definitely recommend this to others! It also takes amazing photos!

It very very nice and excellent phone. I love it........so much.

Notice phone overall but I'm disappointed that they sealed the battery in and made it with no card slot for a micro SD card ...is should have came with a battery double the size than what's in it or should have had the option like the memory of the size battery

First things first, this is my first new phone in years, moving up from a Samsung Galaxy S3. I have been hemming and hawing about buying a new phone and looking at phones every time I get into the store….much to my wife’s chagrin, it’s probably been e year since my “research” started. The phone obviously much larger than my previous, but that is nice for someone who is getting up in years and has issues with seeing small print. The screen is very bright and extremely clear. The phone is very fast, and has not experienced lag with any of the applications that I have loaded. I expect this from a phone with an Octo-Core. I am still getting used to the s-pen and have not used it much, but the screen off memo feature is really useful. Basically, you can jot down a quick note when you remove the s-pen and the phone is locked, without having to unlock the phone first. This has proven useful for me for business and the quick grocery list type of memo item. The reception is much better than my previous phone and I have yet to lose a call, even in spots where my old phone did so. No issues with battery life, which lasts for a day and half with moderate usage. Heavy use, i.e.: streaming music, leaving apps open, wireless + Wi-Fi active, screen always one etc…battery lasts for a solid day. Much better than I would have expected from a multi core phone with a super AMOLED large display. Now for the down sides, which are very few from what I have been able to determine. Samsung has gone the way of integrated memory with no options for expansion. This was one of the major reasons why I shied away from Apple in the beginning. Additionally, this phone is pricey, especially when you opt for the “64G more memory” version, which I did. I am still suffering from sticker shock. The battery is non-replaceable without sending it to the “factory”. Hopefully, it won’t be a problem, but if it is, it means being without a phone for a bit unless you have a protection plan (added $$$, like we need that after spending all this money a on a phone). Its last downside is the Samsung wireless charging puck that came as a special when I purchased this phone. It has all sorts of issues and only works intermittently. Agrgevating to say teh least. Will be bringin it back for another, which will hopefully work better. Granted, this isn’t a phone issue per say, but it did detract from my initial experience. So, if you’re looking for the latest and greatest in phones, like the s-pen and are willing to pay a premium price, this phone is for you. I would suggest spending the $$ if you can afford them to get as much memory as you can. If the s-pen isn't your thing, then look at the S6 Edge+, which is basically a Note5 without the s-pen and with the "edgey stuff"....which by the way is pretty neat too. But beware with any of the Edge phones as they have yet to make an edge to edge (sorry for the pun) screen protector or a "bullet proof" case like the otter box defender for them.

I decided to try the Galaxy Note 5, after reading a lot of articles and reviews of the phone. I was very skeptical, as my wife and I both had the Galaxy S5. We love the Galaxy S5, for is flexible, removable storage options, the easily removable battery, and the IR blaster. And we love how reliable it is. I was dead set against giving up my flexible storage, and my accessible battery. I have to say, now, that I don't even miss those things. The Galaxy Note 5 is a solid, sturdy, flexible phone that has proven itself a more than worthy upgrade from the S5. I made sure that I got the 64gb, for plenty of storage. The S Pen has proven itself to be extremely useful. The fingerprint reader is echelon's above the one on the Galaxy S5! The camera is AMAZING! The extra screen real estate has made reading items displayed very easy! Well worth every penny! I liked it so much, and my wife liked it so much, that we got her one, a month later! We bought both phones from Best Buy, who's associates made the purchase easy. At the time of purchase for both phones, Best Buy was offering a $100 gift card with purchase. We decided to purchase the phones on a payment plan, and we're able to use the gift cards to pay for the taxes, etc... and we evendors had some left on the card for accessories! Sweet deal! We will buy all our phones from Best Buy, going forwards!

Best phone hands down Great battery . Very responsive . Very fast. Great camera. Big screen yet compact device S PEN is amazing and very handy Running all day all kinds of apps with no issues Phone never slows down
