I participated in an Ambassador Program on behalf of Influence Central for Sprint. I received product to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.
Want the perfect gift for under the tree this holiday season? TheSamsung Galaxy Note5 should definitely be on your list of gifts this year. My favorite feature of the Galaxy Note5? The S Pen. As tech oriented, I am totally old school when it comes to certain things. I like to read a paper newspaper, and I like to take notes with a writing utensil. The S Pen allows me to write, capture notes or draw on the 5.7-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED® display. Another pretty sweet feature? It has SideSync 4.0. This enables you to share photos and documents with most PCs and Macs with a simple drag-and-drop operation. I like simple and I like my stuff to upload without a ton of work. As a blogger, the camera is always important. The Galaxy Note5 does not disappoint. It features a 16-megapixel, rear-facing camera and 5-megapixel, front-facing camera that can be launched from any screen by double tapping the Home button. The rear-facing camera also includes autofocus, Burst Shot, 8x zoom, LED flash and panoramic photo capabilities. All things I can totally use!
With Sprint, this phone works amazingly with the Family Share Pack Plan with Starter Unlimited Data! You can choose a 1GB high-speed data for $20 per month, then get unlimited data at 2G speeds so you never have to worry about unexpected overages again. (Overages is what kills you!) You can also choose to just buy additional high-speed data and get unlimited talk and text for $20 more per month while on the Sprint network with Sprint Global Roaming included (excludes taxes and surcharges). Families switching to Sprint get four lines with unlimited talk, text and 40GB of high-speed data to share while on the Sprint network for $120 per month (excludes taxes and surcharges). Seriously, that is an amazing deal! Here is a breakdown of their pricing: 
However, that isn't the best part. Ready for it? New and existing customers that purchase and activate a Samsung Galaxy Note5 by Nov. 30 get a year of Amazon Prime for free! I love Amazon Prime! You get unlimited FREE Two-Day Shipping on more than 20 million items, unlimited streaming of tens of thousands of movies and TV episodes with Prime Video, access to ad-free streaming of over a million songs including thousands of curated playlists and personalized stations with Prime Music, unlimited photo storage (aff) with Prime Photos and much more this holiday season and the year after. Right now, I am listening to Prime Music as I write this post! Just in time for Black Friday shopping, you also get early access to Lightening Deals with Prime. I don't know how I lived without Amazon Prime!
This is a pretty great phone! What do you think your favorite feature would be?
Hubby wants one for Christmas and based upon this great review he will not be going wrong. Thank you for sharing.
I would love to own the Samsung Galaxy Note5 but would not be able to use Sprint as they are not in our area. I sure hope we get other phone carriers someday soon.
I love that you can write on the screen! I wish my smartphone had this feature!
I think this sounds pretty awesome. I was actually thinking about getting one for my husband for Christmas this year.
there is no doubt.. samsung is the best smart phone in the world…
My daughter, son and son-in-law all have the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and they all love this phone. This is a great deal and Amazon Prime is the best! How did I ever live without Prime?
The phone sounds amazing. My husband has been wanting to have this. I will check this out.
I’ve heard a lot of great things about the Note 5. I love the size and the ability to take notes at any time.
I just got a brand new phone a few months ago, so I don’t need one right now. I do like the size that it is and I am always taking notes so that is a great feature.
I love Samsung phones! I still have an s4 but I can’t wait to upgrade to a Note 5. What a great deal with the free Prime!
When I update my Samsung, I’d love to go for something like this. It sounds perfect for me. I love the ability to write on the screen – I’m sure I’d use that the most!
This sounds like such a cool phone. It would be awesome to write notes and navigate with pen. The camera is impressive too.
I was back n forth on getting the NOTE. I love big phones. I decided to go with the Galaxy S6 and I love it. I love Samsung products.
That stylus thing really is cool. Seems like a nice phone.
The phone looks amazing! My husband had a Samsung Galaxy phone and he loved it
Being able to write on the screen is really cool. I’m a little old school that way too even though I like the technology to keep everything in my phone. This combines the best of both!
I don’t have the note but I have the Galaxy Edge 6 plus. Love it love it! Love Samsung phones.
I used to have a samsung galaxy and switched to iPhone. I miss SG, I like it kore than the iPhone I have now.
The family share pack sounds interesting. My two grown boys love their phones (galaxy’s).
I’m still using my Galaxy Note 2! My husband has been trying to get me to upgrade for over a year now … maybe it’s time. (P.S. I love playing with the S pen, too!)
This looks like a great phone ad several of my friends are Samsung people. However I am an Apple girl and will stick with them. Thanks for the great review!!
I would love to get the Galaxy Note5 for Christmas. I love the size of the screen. I use my phone for everything. I will have to check it out.
I bet my son would be jumping for joy (literally) if he gets that for Christmas. He’s been wanting one. 🙂
My daughter has been asking for a new phone this one looks great. She would love to get it!
I could really use that phone! That’s awesome that it comes with the pen to write on your phone. I’ve always wanted a phone like this. It looks like a great quality phone as well.
Yes, these new cell phones have all the options you need and so much more. We just upgraded my husband’s phone as well. We did not get the one you have with the pen though. I think our new one is the Samsung Galaxy 6.
I love my samsung, so much more then I liked my iphone! I have the 5 though, and the 6 has some sweet features!
The phone sounds awesome! My husband has been wanting to trade his. I will check this out! Maybe it will be his Christmas gift!
What an awesome phone! I was torn between that one and the phone I got now and really wished I would have got that one instead.
Love Samsung products! My house is filled with their brand. 😛 Good quality products at a good price.
I use to have a galaxy note!! Pretty great phone! My dad still has his and swears by it.
I have never tried a Samsung Galaxy, but a few friends and family members of mine have one. They love it!
My dad has a Note 4 and loves it. He has been wanting to upgrade to the 5 but was curious about the changes. I will show this to him so he can make his choice. 🙂 Thank you.
I’m so behind on android stuff! My husband would probably love this, lol. Maybe I should nab one for Christmas???
I think getting a free year of Amazon Prime alone would make me get this phone…if I were in the market for one. I like the inexpensive cost for the Family Plan the best.
I love everything that Samsung makes. Their products last a very long time and are very durable. I have always wanted to purchase a Note but I was always concerned about how big it was. After reading this I definitely might reconsider it.
Thanks for this review. The Galaxy Note was one of the phones my husband was looking to purchase. I’ll share this with him.
