The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 (stylized as SΛMSUNG Galaxy Note5) is an Android-based smartphone developed, produced and marketed by Samsung Electronics. Unveiled on 13 August 2015,[9] it is the successor to the Galaxy Note 4 and part of the Samsung Galaxy Note series.

The Galaxy Note 5 carries over hardware and software features from the Galaxy S6, including a changed design with a glass backing, improved camera, and fingerprint scanner. The precluded camera software also includes built in livestreaming functionality as well as features meant for use with the device's bundled, spring-loaded stylus. The device was released together with the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+.

The device received positive reviews from critics, who praised the upgraded build quality over prior models, along with improvements to its performance, camera, and other changes. Similarly to the S6, Samsung was criticized for making the Galaxy Note 5's battery non-removable, and removing the ability to expand its storage via microSD. It was argued that these changes potentially alienated power users—especially because the Galaxy Note series had historically been oriented towards this segment of the overall market.

The Galaxy Note 5 is briefly succeeded by the Samsung Galaxy Note 7, released in August 2016. However, that device was ultimately recalled and pulled from the market after repeated incidents where batteries overheated and caught on fire.[10][11] The discontinued Note 7 was later re-launched as Galaxy Note Fan Edition in July 2017,[12] while a fully-fledged successor, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, was released in September 2017.
