I really think any of the latest top end Samsung will never workout with my constant usage as my primary internet connection daily.

    Either Samsung gives us a version with double the battery, or bring back removable battery. And all the goodness of at least Note 4 features.

      You would think that Samsung would make a premium phone that combines the best of both wouldn't you. If i was forced to chose one i would probably go the A9 because of 232GB storage space vs just 32GB on an Australian GN5.

She nearly lost the S Pen as well.

                            And making the next Note 6 with 6" screen will probably another big mistake, next to the fragile glass back, no memory expansion, no removable battery, and no infrared remote control function.

                              I used Galaxy Note2,3,4 and now 5. Without any doubt 5 is the worst of all. It has nearly nothing more useful than note 4 but lacks many features that were there in note 3 or 4 like direct dial, common log with sms and calls together etc. It cannot even send the telephone number of a contact without having internet connection. But it can send the number of a contact in the call log! Many more defects. I think Samsung released it without testing it enough. The only useful feature is ability to write with the stylus when the screen is off. Twice I nearly lost the stylus as slightest knock it has even accidentally will get the pen out. I ordered and got down the 64 GB version still it is no where near note 3 or 4 that had lot more memory. The battery too is bad and lesser than that of note 4. I will not recommend you to buy Note 5 if you have note 3 or 4.

Its time to say goodbye to you. See you in note6 thread next year. Bye.

As you said, 5.7" is the sweet spot. It's pretty much the same as a Galaxy Mega - pretty hard to handle like my Note 8 trying to browse stuff while commuting. I'd have to carry it around in a thigh side bag.

If they go for some 2mm sides and top and implement the capacity not to activate about 12mm from the side edges, I'll be ok. However, looking at the S7 leaks, Samsung probably will still go the same old formula. Edge versions are terrible as they are hard to handle - I tried with my officemate's.

                                    With designs getting LESS logical these days, all stirred to some misplaced looks over function, I hope Samsung designers and executives come up with sensible products.

                                    This year, they made their products more fragile, limited to only internal memory, taking out useful features like infrared remote control function, and flawed pen storage design. And some people actually paid $935 for a downgrade.
