The 82 feels better in your hand. The body seems like it would withstand incidental contact with the elements better than the UV-5R, but it's not waterproof. It also has fewer sharp edges to snag on things. The 82 is about 1" taller (body only) than the 5R.
The number buttons on the 82 are about three times the size of those on the 5R and the up/down/menu/exit buttons are about twice the size of those on the other unit. All buttons, including PTT, mon, and FM are rubberized on the 82 and just feel right. The buttons on the 5R are too small for human fingers. Don't even try to hit one if you're wearing gloves.
The 82 has dual PTT to match the dual VOF present on both units. However, I prefer single PTT and the buttons can only be combined on the commercial version (twice the price!?!).
Apart from the dual PTT, the two radios are functionally identical from a software and interface standpoint. Both radios program easily with CHIRP and a USB adapter.
The antennas on both models are SMA female rubber duckies, but the stock antenna on the 82 is slightly longer and *seems* to work better. Neither will impress you, though. My Nagoya antenna fits into the plastic surround of the 82 slightly better than the 5R and I expect it would keep out contaminants a bit better.
The 82's charging base (included) is nearly weightless, just like the 5R's, but it doesn't have room inside to insert a roll of pennies for adding appropriate weight. And the 82's charger has the *asinine* status LED that stupidly flashes red/green when you don't have the radio in the cradle. Seriously, who decided that was a good idea?!? The 5R's charging cradle glows a pleasant, solid green when the radio isn't present (but the cradle that came with the BF-F9V2+ does the stupid flash thing). The 82 fits *very* snugly into the cradle. Too snugly, IMO. The barrel connectors and power specs on the two cradles are identical, meaning you can use either cradle with the same wall wart, but the two radios don't physically fit into each other's cradle.
The OEM battery on the 82 fits extremely snugly--again, too snugly, IMO. The molded plastic feet on the bottom of the battery are too short, which makes the 82 rock on a perfectly flat surface (the middle of the battery sticks down lower than the feet). There is a larger battery available for the 82, but it doesn't have a direct charging port (barrel connector) like the high capacity battery for the 5R. Other power options (cigarette lighter battery eliminator, AAA battery pack) are available for both.
Update: There is now a larger battery available for the UV-82 with an independent charging port: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082PYQ2TQ/
The 82 has no VFO/MR button, so in order to tune directly to a particular frequency you have to switch modes first in the software menu, which can be pretty cryptic on all the Baofengs. The 5R has a dedicated button for switching between channel and freq modes. [Edit: I discovered you can hold down the Menu button while turning on the 82 to switch between channel and frequency modes.]
Both radios sound about the same at 50% volume when talking between the two. I believe the mic and speakers in both are roughly equivalent. Both share the same external mic/speaker/program ports behind a flap on the right side of the radio.
Bottom line: Functionally, they're nearly identical. They're roughly the same price. To me, the appropriately-sized (and rubberized) controls and generally better shell design make the UV-82 the better choice.
My radios came with the headset with the dual PTT switch on it, in addition to the charger, antenna, belt clip and wrist strap.
They are easy to program with the optional programming cable (about $10), and CHIRP software, which is free online. (Don't pay the money for the factory software!!)
Once you have a program file set up, you can use it to program other radios--even different models--CHIRP is like a spread sheet--just copy and paste the programming information.
You can even program these to work in the GMRS frequencies, though be sure to not use 5 watts on those frequencies that only allow 1 watt... AND... spend the $90 (less for licensed Hams) and get the GMRS license. There's no exam, it's good for 5 years, and everyone in your family, including parents, brothers & sisters, spouse, grandkids, etc. can use your license.
I also set the alarm mode to "code". When you do this and hold that alarm button down it will do a couple things, make a lot of noise from your radio with the light flashing, it will send out a tone across whatever radio channel you're programmed to, it will also broadcast whatever audio is going on from your side onto that channel. And it will keep doing this until you press the button for the alarm or to talk or you just turn the radio off. This could be really useful if you plan to use these radios in emergency situations.
You can also set these to automatically lock the buttons except for the ones on the side so you don't accidentally change frequencies or settings if you have it in your pocket.
I won't say which ones for legal reasons but it can be programmed to frequencies that could get you in trouble if you're not authorized to access those frequencies.

Es un poco mas alto que el 888S y la antena igual. Muy buena opcion si no quieres gastar mucho en estos radios. No esperes un radio tipo Kenwood o Motorola por el precio, pero si son bonitos, funcionales y resistentes.
El uso que les damos es cuando salimos en grupos familiares en bosque, montaña y carretera. No uso profesional ni como radioaficionado parte de algun club.
Los programamos con los canales abiertos para uso publico sin licencia (segun documentacion de la IFT en Mexico) y funcionan a la perfeccion.
Recomendables para compra. Llegaron un dia antes de lo estimado y en excelente estado.

Lamentablemente al poco tiempo se descompuso, ha que no emite sonido en altavoz ni auricular. La gente de Amazon se portó bien conmigo y me regresaron mi dinero por tarjeta de regalo Amazon.
Tengo otro radio de la misma marca Baofeng, es el UV-5R y ese me ha salido de perlas.
