Disappointing that there isn't a removable battery, SD card or waterproofing.
The GS5 they advertised the removable battery as a feature and now they've abandoned it.
For those complaining about screen size and camera - get a life - the iPhone6+ is massive - too big for a phone, and if you have any idea about cameras, you should know that MP is only a fraction of the equation.
I personally don't like the "edge" phone at all, it looks stupid and I don't think that it's any real benefit.
Wireless charging is cool, but how "wireless" is it? - You'll still have to sit the phone on the charging mat. You're still stuck with the phone on a table somewhere near a power point. Can you actually still use it in your hands whilst it's wirelessly charging? - I don't think so... All it will save people is a whole second of picking up cord and plugging it in!
It would have been better if they put a kinetic charger in there that prolonged battery life as you used the phone during the day!
The "octo-core" processor is a good choice.
People seem to care about improvements to the screen - so tick there.
The metal/glass case will be a winner as Samsung were often critised for this - However at the cost of a removable battery?
Overall, I think for some (most) people, this will be a better phone for them then the GS5. For others, probably not.
All those people saying they'll got to Apple because they don't like that this phone is more like an iPhone now - they're full of it, or complete morons.
AnonD-369554, 02 Mar 2015Obviously no one here watched the unpacked event. The smaller non removable battery is counter... moreI'm pity to those who keep complaining & whining about battery capacity without looking the efficiency of SoC and electronic components.
4K recording but sd card. You must be kidding, right? I recently purchased the LG g2. A fantastic phone. The only problem is that every 5mni I need to plug in a 64gb usb otg to clear up some memory if I am shooting video in 1080p 60fps. Ok, granted I have the 16gb model (big mistake) but I hardly have anything on it apart from some basic apps and some music. I was hoping to swop it for the s6... No chance...
Last year Samsung copied Sony ...added water resistance & dust resistance and did not see much sales ... this year copied Apple and removed removable battery and SD feature ... Just Copying from other Brands.. where is innovations in offering......??
hahaha i am laughing on myself to wait desperately for such a dumb phone :D
is this what samsung call THE NEXT BIG THING :P
shame samsung S5 izz aa lot more better than s6

Anonymous, 02 Mar 2015This is a very poor and very bad decision by samsung. No Sd card slot ? Non removable battery ... moreThey do have, 32 gigs internal. Let''s see the pricing before we say anything further.
If have a loud speaker, that's enough compet
Elvis M, 01 Mar 2015it has no radio ( -_-)p wrong move !!! there is no radio since the s3 ^^"
Wrong move for samsung. non expandable storage? non removable battery? GOODLUCK SAMSUNG😂
Anonymous, 02 Mar 2015They say new design??? innovation ? they all look the same to me from the front view !!!! s3 s... moreTrue story.
Samsung could just sell another back cover for S5 made of glass/metal and people would say it's premium.
I was desperately waiting for S6 and now I have S5.Once i knew that new S6 does not have SD card slot,battery removal and water proof then no way to buy the new one with lots of money.Even no change the MP of main camera.Front camera is not my primary needs.Now I will keep my S5 until Iphone new version comes.
This is true,samsung can lose a lots of customers after this phone,stupid step.

You are right
Answer :
for "premium materials" (stupid breakable glass-fingerprint magnets-expensive to repair) and less touchwizz (more text/conventional list)...
i will buy this monster beast samsung galaxy s6
Very stupid decision of SAMSUNG. Removable battery, SD card and waterproof was most important advantage of SAMSUNG. Now its bull shit !!! Let's by iPhone together!!!!
Anonymous, 02 Mar 2015This is a very poor and very bad decision by samsung. No Sd card slot ? Non removable battery ... moreWith that kind of average battery spec to power up the super high resolution screen, will it affect the overall battery performance? Fingers crossed!
After owning a Galaxy S2, S3, S4 and S5 as well as HTC One X and HTC One. The single reason I went for Samsung was the fact that the battery could be removed. I hate the charger flap on the S5, it's great that it's water proof but annoying to open all the time. Unless this is a ground breaking improvement I'd probably go the OnePlus Two, LG G4 or HTC as an alternative as I think the S5 isn't a pretty phone.
Ahahah this should be called samsung S3.5
Even my S4 is better :
Batery 2600 vs 2550 non removable
Card slot Yes Vs No
Cpu 1.9ghz vs 1.5ghz
Screen-to body ratio 72.3% vs 70%...
RIP Samsung.. GOO LG ;)
