This is easily one of Samsung's least impressive efforts (aside from temperamental batteries, that is...). No SSD card- a big thing for me. Mine (Taiwan Mobile) came preloaded with Microsoft Office Mobile, the Largest Ever Memory and CPU-Cycle Hog in the known Universe. Not sure if this a Samsung deal or a Taiwan Mobile deal. Also it has so many parallel-apps; Samsung-This, Samsung-That, all inferior to the original Google versions. Unless you scrap them, you need to cope not only with Android calling the Mothership ten times a minute but also with the Samsung apps calling the Samsungship. Atrocious. Last but not least: the receive sensitivity of the phone is abominable. Often time I lose signal while my pal next to me (HTC, Sony, Huawei) still has perfect signal. The fact that the local "flagship" store seems to only employ game-obsessed and client-hating Neanderthals doesn't help either. All in all a 3 out 10

Most people who complain or speak ill of it clearly don't have the phone and totally cant afford it. My 5 is the winter edition from korea the 128gb.everything is superb plus with the zerolemon battery...they complain bcoz they only have xiaomi, asus, Lenovo or Huawei and maybe iPhone only. That's is why... Samsung note series are top of the line smartphones... Respect!

There is a some points which i observe in note 5 which is disappoint me.

1. No microSD card slot; no 128GB built-in memory option
2. The battery is not user-replaceable or Smaller battery
3. No IR port
4. No enhanced resistance to liquids or dust
5. No stereo speakers
6. The body of the smartphone is quite slippery without a case
7. Not available in key global markets (at least for the time being)
8. S Pen mechanism prone to damage
9. Heavy price or Expensive
10. Sluggish advancement in pioneering features like Multi Window

Some people are saying that note 5 has screen issue gaming issue etc etc....
I think they all get clone note 5.
I'm using note 5 from 7 months no major issue at all.
No screen problem.
No theme store acces problem.
No front camera issue.
No lagging at all.
No marshmallow upgrade problem because I'm already using 6.0.1 version..no signal issue at all.
Battery is not excellent but more than average means good.
Please Don't misguide the people.

My touch got malfunction and display had lines just after 1 month of purchase, without any damage. Samsung refused to cover under warranty. Guys don't wast your money for this cheap quality device.

Advise to all: Don't upgrade to Marshmallow 6.0.1. Otherwise you'll get very week signal received.
