I'm debating on getting the newest note. How is it?
I have the note 2014 10.1 tablet and I love it. Thinking about getting the phone as well
How is the spen on the new note?
How is the bigger screen?
Any glaring problems?

You mean the Note5, I take it?
It's a very good phone. I had written off Samsung after the catastrophes the were the S4 and Note3 and went to the LG G3. I took a chance and came back to the Note after the redesign. My only concern, even though I haven't hit the limit is that the 32gb model's memory fills up quick. The OS and built in bloat take up over 10 of the 32gb. I'd spring for the 64gb if I had to do it over. If the design of the new S7 is an indication, they will be going back to expandable SD memory with the Note6, hopefully.
Otherwise, the screen is amazing. The camera takes great pictures. It's a very responsive phone. The new design of the phone with the glass back and aluminum sides is a welcome upgrade also.

Yeah the note 5. Thanks.
I'll definitely get the 64gig.
Problem is I know the note 6 comes out later this year but I refuse to wait that long. I am using an old phone and I need a new one for work, etc...
I am toying with the idea of waiting for the S7, but i really think I want the note.

You've waited this long... A little while longer won't hurt. At least wait to see what the specs will be and if it will definitely have expandable memory.

Let me explain, I broke my s5 and am now using my ancient s4 I bought the day the s4 came out.
I can't wait longer and just use this piece of shite lol. I could maybe wait a couple weeka for the S7, but i can't use the s4 for months you see.

Gotcha bro...
If you gotta get something now, I'd recommend the Note5 in a heartbeat.

Only thing I don't like is no SD card. Other than that, love the phone.

I have the note 5 64 GB.
I love the phone, no issues so far. Only thing that comes to mind is hitting the bottom right "button" when I try to hit ENTER while typing. Idk if it's too sensitive in that area or what, never had that issue with my S5. But really that's nitpicking
Camera is great, pen is nice, scroll capture comes in handy, Samsung pay is pretty damn impressive. "We don't take that here.....oh" as I'm walking out after making a payment.
When I did my research I was going to get the 6P, but there were promotions going on where I got a 250 best buy gift card, a nice Samsung Bluetooth headset, wireless charger and charger pack. Couldn't pass that up.

Love my Note 5...I give it an A.
Would be A+ if I could swap batteries.

S7 preorder comes with a free VR headset. Would be worth the wait to me.
Edit: I have the Note 5 and like it. But between the free VR and the expandable storage. I would wait for the S7.

Thanks guys. I'm waiting in line to buy my note5 now.
As nice as the S7 looks I need the bigger screen and the spen.
Going with the black 64gb

Plus it will be waterproof...er, IP68 rated..close enough
That alone is worth waiting 6 months for

My only 2 cons.... No rf/ir blaster to make it a remote control for TV ... And you can no longer connect it to your TV through an hdmi cable.. You can only do it through screen mirroring.

Great phone posing using it now. The only issue is the stylus. It has a clickable top that can come apart.
