Samsung's Galaxy Note 5 is the smoothest, sleekest stylus-equipped jumbo-screen smartphone that the company has ever made. On the plus side: a slim, shiny, large-screened luster; strong camera; retooled stylus; and killer battery life. But these assets are subverted by two key omissions; the Note 5's battery is not swappable and there is no expandable storage slot (though there is free cloud storage).
The Note 5 is the least distinctive of the Note line. It's Samsung's only 2015 model to come equipped with a stylus -- and a good one at that -- but it otherwise looks pretty much the same as the Galaxy S6 Edge+, featuring the same dual curved-edge screen and nearly identical specs. And the Note 5 and S6 Edge+ are basically supersized versions of the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge models that Samsung debuted in March 2015.
In fact, the stylus (Samsung calls it the "S Pen") is about the only thing that makes the Note 5 truly distinctive. As such, it's a bit underwhelming compared with 2014's Note 4, which leap-frogged its peer, the Galaxy S5, in the hardware department, even without its S Pen. Nevertheless, the Note 5's flaws are few and far between, and its stylus gives it a functional edge over all other large-screen devices.
