Disclosure: I am part of the Verizon Influencer team. As part of that team, I receive products and a free line of service. Regardless, all opinions are honest and my own.
I just recently started using the Samsung Galaxy Note 5. I have never owned a Note of any kind before, so I was unsure of what to expect. Now that I have been using it for a few weeks, and I mean REALLY using it, I cannot even begin to tell you how awesome it is. It is sleek, stunning and powerful. I am so in love with this phone and I have no idea how I lived my life without it and the Verizon line of service. Here are the 3 reasons why I love the Galaxy Note 5 so much and why I think you would love it to!
THE STYLUS PEN
Like I said earlier, I have never had a Note before, so I have never had a phone with a built-in stylus pen. I cannot believe how amazing it is! I never knew what I was missing. I love using the stylus. And I love that it is built-in. (Just be wary of putting the stylus back in it’s slot upside down!) You can use the stylus for just about everything on your Note 5! You can write your text messages, you can write to-do lists and check them off, you can also doodle! And I love to doodle! I am so excited about this feature and I am loving every minute of using it.
THE PHOTO OPTIONS
On my old phone, I had very few photo options. Just the usual panorama, selfie and normal camera modes. But with the Note 5, I have so many different options. Like the Slow Motion option that my daughter and I have been having so much fun with. She thinks it is so funny to watch our cats in slow motion, and it is! There is also the fast motion option and it is pretty fun, too!
THE MOBILE HOTSPOT
The first thing that I look for in a smartphone is the mobile hotspot feature. We live in a pretty rural area in West Virginia and there aren’t a lot of internet options. Sometimes, I run my household’s internet through my phone. The mobile hotpsot feature on the Galaxy Note 5 is amazing. It can run up to 10 devices! So at one time, I can run the Netflix on my TV, my laptop, my iPad, my daughter’s LeapPad and my husband’s Playstation all through my Galaxy Note 5’s hotspot .And it can handle the load efficiently! I have really put this feature to the test and it has passed with flying colors! I can not be happier with this feature!
As you can see, it is a truly awesome phone and Verizon has awesome new plans! You can choose from small, medium, large and extra large! Switch to Verizon, now, and save!

I love the size of it! I might get one of these when my current contract is up.
That is awesome, Robin!
I’ve thought about upgrading to a Note- I love my current Galaxy but sometimes I just need a bigger surface to multitask. Thanks for sharing your experiences!
You are so welcome, Jenna!
OHH writing on the screen is cool (why does that excite me that much lol). I just got a new phone so I don’t need something else right now, but I have a few friends that could use a new one! Great review.
Thanks Jeanette! It is super fun and cool!
The Note 5 looks like a great device. I love the size, and I think it’s cool that you can make notes on it.

This is such a great phone. I love how well the Verizon service works and the phones are all great!
You are so right, Valerie!
I love the features of the Note 5. It looks like Samsung did some great updates to the phone.
They definitely did, Donna!
I tell you, I have the S Sport and Hubby has the Note and he loves his… He keeps trying to get me to switch, but I love mine. HA! His Note offers everything he needs and it is perfect for him. 🙂 Oh and the camera? AWESOME!!!
That is so great, Shauna!
I’ve never used a Note phone, but I think I would really love the stylus pen. I oftentimes keep notes on my phone and writing them would be so much faster/easier than typing them sometimes.
It is not only faster and easier, it is also fun!
Wow this does sound like a great phone. It’s amazing that they’ve managed to fit so many photo options into it!
I totally agree, Liz!
It’s amazing how many features they’re packing into tiny phones these days!
I have never used the Samsung Note 5 but it does look like a great phone. I love the photo options.
