AnonD-471267, 28 Nov 2015I dont know how u use ur storage, but for me 26gb is more than enough. Maybe i never download ... moreExactly - you don't download movies. You carry your laptop with its 1TB everyday. I have a laptop - it has a 256GB SSD, and 1 TB of HDD. I don't carry that daily. I even carry a 10" Surface but I only put in a 64GB card for immediate files, and I don't carry that daily either.
What I carry daily is my Galaxy Note - it has an extra 120GB of user space for work and entertainment composed of music + audio books (14GB), PDF books (37GB+), and video (50GB+). I download full HD movies that take 2 to 4 GB per movie. TV episodes can take 300 to 500 + MB. I can probably say I can download some 2GB daily. This is because I'm making use of my unlimited data service to its maximum.
Is it strange that I use my Galaxy Note 3 this way? - there is already 256GB SD card out, and it will not be strange that 256GB microSD cards will be out by next year. Yes, I can use it like a laptop. 26GB of user space is pathetic after getting use to 147GB of total storage space to play around.

But for me 26 gb for apps and pic and doc for work should be enough unless u wanna make ur phone as laptop. Go buy a laptop though, theres many laptop built in 1tb.
My laptop 1tb, my external hdd 2tb, as need more for my phone? I think i dont need it :)

Telling us that that is enough is like telling people that 40GB is enough for their laptops.

Even demo it in a video. These 'clever' reviewers just want to show how true the rumor is and of course, getting a lot of views on youtube.

leira, 27 Nov 2015is galaxy not 5's internal memory upgradable?(from 32g to 64)No and if you live in a country that only gets the 32GB GN5 you need to make do with constantly deleting files, cache and apps to make room on your "premium", not so smart phone.

Henrye, 27 Nov 2015I wonder how you react to Galaxy A8. It is premium with no fragile glass back. Have sd slot up... moreI already posted how the current A8 can be made with a memory expansion, but a flagship can't? If you didn't get why I'm not getting one - I want the S Pen and still a removable battery.
Besides, my Note 3 outdoes the A series. Knowing that I'll be holding on to my Note 3 until the Note 6 will be out, I've ordered 2 extended batteries of DOUBLE its original battery to 6400mAh each. I'll just cycle those two, and I don't have to change batteries during the day. I don't care about doubling the thickness because it's better than carrying a way bigger sized powerbank. I'll just have one thing to carry for my internet needs WITHOUT having to plug in and wait "under 90/120 minutes" to charge.
Meantime, I'll still be here posting the warnings for people not to buy this half-baked crap. Samsung needs to know not to make stuff like this confused with the S-series. The Galaxy Note line is suppose to be unique and powerful for the prosumer, not something to show off for the vain hipsters who uses beauty face camera functions, and tell how it's the fastest phone, and yet bring along powerbank/charger/charging pad, and a wireless HDD to keep things going.

AnonD-293746, 27 Nov 2015I am recieving some 88 MB update now in UAEProbably to fix the issues of multi-tasking glitches and hanging.
It's true, Allen - my colleague complains of weekly hanging of her Galaxy Note.5. After loosing her Note 3, and getting a Note.5, thinking it should be better - she's really dissapointed to find out 32GB isn't enough to store her photos.
