The Best of Androids!

Having been an HTC One M7 happy owner since its release in 2013, I hoped to replace it by a new flagship from the Taiwanese manufacturer, but neither M8 nor M9 with their poor camera performance had enough strong points to want them.
Pros:
  • Screen
  • performance
  • 64GB of internal memory
  • camera
  • stylus
  • quick and wireless charging
  • speakers
  • fingerprint sensor
  • Screen Mirroring
Cons:
  • Not easy to hold and unlock the phone by same hand using fingerprint sensor due phone size

Switched from S7 edge to note 5. LOVE IT

This phone is a good size and still sports a flat sceeen. I had the S7 edge but it got expensive because I broke the screen 3 times. Wanted the note 7, but that whole battery thing is still being worked out.

Not a premium device anymore

After one year of use and the latest update, the device won't hold is charge anymore. Going from 100% to 65% of battery in 7 hours of standby time. It use to loose 7% of battery before. It "was" an excellent device all across the board. Please Samsung, release a new firmware.

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 review

In 2015, Samsung released the Galaxy Note 5, a phablet that didn't have a global release. In the UK, you had to make do with the Galaxy S6 Edge+ instead, if you wanted a large Samsung phone.

Galaxy Note 5

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.

The Galaxy Note 5 was made available just days after its launch across all major carriers in the US, and as expected, it comes at a steep price point. In total, about $700 is what you will shell out to get Samsung's latest addition to the Galaxy Note line, whether or not you use payment plans on...
Pros:
  • --Great aesthetic with curves on the back for small bump up in handling -Stellar Quad HD display -Wonderful performance -4GB RAM -Fingerprint reader performs very well -FAST charging almost makes up for standard battery size -S Pen streamlined

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 review: still a big deal

The Galaxy Note 5 is a great device, both visually and physically. The reason it doesn't score a full five marks is because it seems that design was a higher priority than useful features like a microSD card slot, replaceable battery or the conferencing microphone that the Note 4 had.
Pros:
  • Great display brightness
  • Extremely fast
  • quality camera
  • Integrated stylus pen
  • Ingenious handwriting recognition
Cons:
  • Lousy multi-tasking
  • Poor sound quality

Still a relevant 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.
Pros:
  • Slim design
  • 64GB option
  • Camera quality
  • Beautiful screen
  • Curved design with thin metal bezels
Cons:
  • 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
