So, has anyone seen the S7 design? Its a total failure. I don't like S6 and I definitely not going to like this new one from Samsung. Seriously, who is the freakin' designer? What with all the metal and glass. Ridiculous. Fired that guy please.

He thinks "98-99%" make up people who DON'T need memory expansion or who would appreciate removable battery, and that 16/32/64 GB is all we need.
Only barely 22% are in agreement that Samsung nailed it totally, majority of 46%, and about almost 32% day it's just Ok:

And a more popular Samsung dedicated site made a poll of markets in Europe:
"We pose this question to all those Galaxy Note lovers that haven’t been turned away by the removable of some traditional features and aren’t living in the Note 5′s launch markets: What route are you taking in order to get your hands on the device? Will you be importing it from a country where the phone will be officially available, opting for the S6 edge+, or simply skipping an upgrade from your current device?"
Of course the result was a staggering 52% will just stick to what they have than "upgrade", which would mean either Note 3 or 4:
http://flic.kr/p/BXUykH
There are no polls that will actually say Note.5 is a huge success. Nada!
Even more direct poll is this with 72% telling us that it isn't an upgrade at all, while 7% say it is...

That's why it's laughable that some people are defending this as the "best ever" Galaxy Note. This is probably because they spent $1000 for a downgrade.

Upgraded to Note 5 from Note 4 around 2 weeks back. Following are my observations about Note 5:
a. This phone is significantly faster
b. It is slippery in cold hands, but has a great grip otherwise.
c. Finally a perfect screen with no yellow tinge!
d. The speaker is soo good!
e. The camera is notably better
f. Can charge using wireless FAST charger which is great. Though it doesn't seem to charge wirelessly if battery is less than 3%.
g. No IR blaster is surprising but I rarely used it anyway.
h. No SD is fine since my data is mostly on cloud
i. No removable battery is fine since I rarely took out the battery on previous phone.
j. Dimensions are just perfect way better than before.
k. SPen functionality has improved.
l. Is a fingerprint magnet, but just one swipe cleans it.
m. Fingerprint recognition now actually works. In note 4 I always had to swipe multiple times to unlock the phone.

Snap810 is still boss, just around 2000 points behind Exynos 74**, so it's not cheap compared
I would rather get the note 4 32GB 3GB ram with sd card slot than note 5 64GB 4GB ram WITHOUT sd card. There are 128-200GB sd cards

AnonD-77443, 08 Dec 2015I'm thinking the "haters" wouldn't be hating if the GN5 storage space wasn't such a downgrade.... moreI'm still at a loss at what was Samsung (designers and executives) were thinking when they decided to put this half-baked thing with 32GB being sold to most regions, and NOT launch in Europe this year.
And we have these people who are underpowered users only satisfied with such 25GB user storage spaces, and be telling us how it's enough. I guess they don't have much to do with a Galaxy Note other than to flaunt how they got a rare 64GB version for $1000, on special order. That's still nothing without being able to use your current 128GB microSD card.
Now with Note.5 features being on Note 4 after an update, Note.5 has become even more LESS significant. I'm just laughing at some people regarding the Note 4 as some budget phone. Clearly these are some who like some distorted sense of status with an object, rather using them as tools.

AnonD-183089, 07 Dec 2015sure it will be nice upgrade from note 2 & note 3 but not for haters :DI'm thinking the "haters" wouldn't be hating if the GN5 storage space wasn't such a downgrade. The fact that a 3 year old Note 2 can have 4 TIMES the storage space of a 64GB GN5 is poor form and Samsung shouldn't be surprised by the "hate".
I don't hate the GN5 i'm just really disappointed that the largest amount of storage space i can get in a GN5 is 25GB after the OS is installed.
