The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 (branded and marketed as Samsung Galaxy Note5) is an Android phablet smartphone developed and produced by Samsung Electronics. The Galaxy Note 5, along with the Galaxy S6 Edge+, was unveiled during a Samsung press conference in New York City on 13 August 2015.^[7][8] It is the successor to the Samsung Galaxy Note 4. The phone became available in the U.S. on 21 August 2015.^[4]

Similar to the Galaxy S6, the construction of the device was revamped, with a metal unibody frame, glass instead of faux leatherbacking, and a newer, metal stylus. The back of the device is curved on both sides for easy handling. Due to the newer design, the Note 5 is the first in the Note series of phones that does not have a user-removable battery, nor a micro SD card slot. And the battery shrank for the first time, (from 3200 to 3000 mAh) in order to keep the design as slim as possible. The Note 5 also does not have the MHL Micro-HDMI output.
