Galaxy Note 5 voted best 2015 Samsung flagship by SamMobile readers!

Near the end of the eventful 2015, we asked our readers which Samsung flagship launched last year was the best in their opinion. It was tough competition – except for battery life, all four flagships were mostly on equal footing and were great options no matter what screen size one preferred. But there has to be a winner, and it turns out the Galaxy Note 5 was the favorite among the people who voted in our poll.

It's rather surprising that the Galaxy Note 5 was called out to be the best among all, since the phablet didn't launch in many markets (including all of Europe). But maybe it's not that surprising considering many of our readers come from markets where the Galaxy Note 5 did go on sale. We have been criticized for being too pro-Note 5, but we really can't reiterate it enough that the S Pen-toting fifth-generation Galaxy Note offers pretty much everything one looks for in a smartphone.

The Galaxy S6 edge came in at second with 20 percent of the votes (the Note 5 got 29 percent of votes), no doubt because of it was the first of its kind in terms of design and was also a great phone otherwise. The Galaxy S6 edge+ and the Galaxy S6 tied with 17 percent of the votes, and we are frankly surprising the Galaxy S6 edge+ didn't get more votes than the most uninspiring of the four flagships.

The fifth option in our poll also tied with the S6 and S6 edge+ – 17 percent of voters said they think these handsets sucked because they lacked a microSD slot. Well, we don't disagree, and thankfully it seems Samsung is looking to fix that shortcoming with the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge (provided our sources and all the rumors are correct.)

Here are the poll's results!
