Samsung Galaxy Note 5 review

Note 5 puts the phab in phablet with a stylus and stylish makeover

 

Our Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 requires two hands and a pile of cash, but it's the best Android phone with a large screen, a stylus and an accurate camera. Just don't look for it to have a microSD card, removable battery – or availability outside the US.

Update: Our Samsung Galaxy Note 5 review is a year old and the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 release date is already here. That makes the Note 5 price more attractive. You can now get last year's S-Pen-equipped Android phone for cheaper. Here's how to stacks up 12 months after launching.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is a large phone that's either a game changer or deal breaker for longtime fans of the Android phablet, now that it has a premium look and feel.

Its 5.7-inch display, super-fast processor, improved camera and S Pen stylus are joined by a new, glass-and-metal design that reflects the solid construction of last year's Samsung Galaxy S6 and the newer Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge.
That makes it a huge leap over last year's Galaxy Note 4, which backed the phone in cheap, textured plastic. Samsung's build quality is finally fit to compete with the aluminum iPhone 6S Plus, Huawei Mate 8 and Nexus 6P.
