Owning a Lg G Flex for the past year, I couldn't wait to go back to my Samsung. I couldn't decide whether to get the Note 4 or Note 5. I finally settled on the Note 5 and let me tell you, I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase. This phone is a powerhouse with it's octa-core cpu. Being a Note you would expect it to be very large in your hand. But it's form factor is slimmer than it's predecessors so it feels much like other phones in your hand. The gold titanium looks very "upper-class" on this phone and the all glass and medal construction gives the phone a very pleasing weight and feel in your hand. The screen is beautiful and the graphics are fantastic. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the storage and the software. This phone comes in 2 storage options, 32 and 64gb. I don't play allot of games or have massive amounts of music or photos so I figured the 32gb variant would be fine. And for the most part it is, but I wasn't expecting the system to be using up so much space and with all my apps installed, I only have about 20gb's usable storage. As for the software, Android 6 is good but it does have one,known, flaw: battery drain issues. Idle drain is horrible. Before I searched out battery saving options, my battery would drain 50% over the course of the day just sitting there doing nothing. By morning, if I didn't plug it in, It would be down to about 4%. The fast charging works great, just wish i didn't need to utilize it so much. This battery issue is something Samsung is aware of and was supposed to be working on. But they are getting ready to release Android 7 for this phone so i think they are skipping fixing 6.Read full review

The exterior of the phone is in very good condition and I like the phone very much. But sometimes the speaker doesn't work and the battery doesn't hole a charge. I have to charge the phone every night, and charge the phone again before leaving work every day. I'm not using the phone doing the day while at work, just answer texts sometimes, maybe talk on the phone about once or twice doing the day.

Coming from an iPhone 6S 128GB all I can say is that I miss the memory (128 vs 32GB), that been said with the external usb-adapter thingy which allows the access to all sorts of sd-cards and multiple cloud services available nowadays that part of the equation is solved quick, fast and in a hurry. Now one the most important aspects is the ability to get rooted which brings the benefits that a custom rom ( software) offers with endless customization, all the bloatware which characterizes the different carriers and such can be removed, now the only thing installed is what's needed and wanted. All this process turns this Note 5 into a fantastic device, as it comes from the factory it's pretty fast and very easy to use and after customization it can only get better. This device is second to none , beautiful design everywhere you look, easy to use, great battery and even though the screen is a little bit bigger than my iPhone 6S plus it does feels smaller & easier to use one handed, the weight is perfect and at the end it does feels like the ultimate device !!!!Read full review

THE COSMETIC FLAW was bigger than the one that shows on the picture above and it was at the bottom of the phone not on top. The battery life is about 2 hrs of continuing use... so is about average... not the best deal ever but i'm neutral. on this product.
