The Note 5 is an excellent phone. Bright display. Fast. Sharp camera. The omission of an SD card creates a big disappointment, inconvenience and loss of flexibility. I can hardly wait for the new Note 8 !!! I am a former Note 4 user.

Most of the my phone calls cut out as if I am out of range or I have dropped calls. My contract is up and I will be switching to a different phone

I bought my Note 5 two days after release, upgrading from a Note 3. I thought the Note 3 was a great phone, but this one was a huge improvement in the way of design and performance.

Slim design; 64GB option; Camera quality; Beautiful screen; Curved design with thin metal bezels

Non-expandable storage; UI can be buggy; Battery life suffers with intense usage; S-pen design needs to be refined; Gorilla glass definitely not used on back of the phone

The phone had a few glitches that were worked out easily, but the charger was completely unacceptable. The charger is not one that can be used by the phone since it is not an adaptive fast charger. In addition, the charger that was provided had an LG cord and an Alcatel charging base.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 5, powered by it's Exynos 7420, is at the forefront of Samsung's smartphone offerings. With the best display Samsung can offer, market leading specifications, magnificent build quality and a price to match, the Note5 (as styled by Samsung) cements it's spot as not only the...

Sleek; glass design; Speedy overall performance; Great camera; Slimmer design makes it easier to hold in one hand

S Pen experience not radically improved; Smaller battery; No micro SD card support or removable battery

Samsung's Note 5 is the biggest and beefiest Samsung phone yet, and we've just heard whispers it will come to the UK after all. In our Galaxy Note 5 review we explain why you should be excited about that.

Update: The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is over a year old and we're still a long way from the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 . Because of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 recall, the Note 5 is now under our review microscope again.

A great smartphone and a major step up from my Note 1. Product arrived a week before estimated time. Had no problems starting it up.

The latest iteration of Samsung's other major smartphone series (the other being the regular "Galaxy" phones) is here with a faster belly, more solid skeleton, and a brighter view on the world.

Feels fantastic in the hand; Beautifully built; One of the best and brightest screens ever; The pen feels better than ever; with a tip that feels more like you're using a pen; S-Pen clicks at the back; allowing you to annoy people during a meeting (!

Only 32GB of storage; and it isn't expandable
