I just got it a few weeks ago and mine had 7.0 nougat on it. I really like the phone. Its fast and very responsive. The battery has to be watched and you have to be willing to tweak your phone ( developer's option, lower that screen brightness, get rid of haptic feedback, shorten your screen timeout to 15 sec. etc etc...) Also a black wallpaper or very dark one is better.

The phone graphics are very nice. I had the note 4 before this one and the note 4, for its time, was an amazing phone. I really do not like that we cant remove the battery and no micro sd card expansion was a seriously shit move on Samsung.

Over all the games play well, the video is nice and the overall look of nougat is sleeker and more modern looking. I also like the new features in the menus. I really wish the notification panel was dark or black. too much white hurts the eyes.

If you can afford the new s8 then get that but if you're on a budget, I like this phone a lot. Get yourself a clear case and nice screen protector and you'll be fine.

                I had an Galaxy note 5 last year and after 2 months of usage in went very lag as hell, it takes 10 seconds to launch an app!!! Imagine that? Even the keyboard doesn't respond at all. It also overheats whenever I play video games or use the camera. Now, samsung has convinced me not to buy their products again! EVER!!! i think i'll switch to iphone now.

                  Everybody who updates their phone please " Clear cache partition and restore factory settings".
                  It is always recomended and it will solve all your problems.

                            After the nougat update my note 5 charges so slow and the battery life is worse than before. There is always a notification saying "network unavailable, try again later" for every 15 minutes. It is very annoying and cannot load the videos anymore especially on instagram. What can I do or I just have to wait for another update? Current version is N9208XXU3CQC9/N9208OLB3CQC7/N9208XXU3CQC2, UK

                                  After 7.0 update battery not fully charging. Phone says fast charging however; it takes hours to charge and battery life is now terrible. New update has caused serious battery life issue on my note 5. This needs to be corrected!

                                        After latest android system upgrade, the single screen on powersaving mode started displaying icons in colors. Well that sucks since it lost the previous b&w appearance that looked very minimalist and professional.
