U swap Batteries through out the day and throughout the year, which is exceptional and boring to most /majority of mobile users.
And u store tv Shows in a mobile. 128gb is not even enough for 40 min of 4k video which u shoot. And u always boast for 128gb. As if 128 gb is the total memory reqd in this world. I doubt u MUST be shooting in vga mode to make space for tv shows & watch them on a small screen in which they are not meant to be seen. What an use of galaxy note!!!. Keep shooting in Vga mode. Good for international presentations.

which is expected to get better with the Android 6.0 marshmallow update .
& yes even in my 64gb Note5 i still have more than 30gb free even i do not play lots of huge games on my note5 i play very few Premium games on Note5 .
i mainly play games on my Ps4 and for movies and tv shows i prefer watching it on 42" Lg 3d Led Tv.which is already connected to my high speed broadband connection and HD DVR set top box.
so sometime i feel that even i cud have gone for 32gb model however went with 64gb as future proofing. And the price diffrence was not that much between 32 and 64gb model.

Not even a chance. The point is that you CAN watch them on a 5.7" screen, at anytime, anywhere. I guess you don't do that with your Note? 4K content is 8 to 15GB - you honestly tell us you download stuff and be just anchored to you television at home, or carry a wireless HDD all the time? Really?
Do you use LTE and use 2-4GB of data daily? If you don't know, that takes a lot on battery - which is why I have an extra battery.
What is the use of having a Galaxy Note when you need to turn off your data, turn off bluetooth, worry about power, turn off notifications, not download so much like 2GB like I do, so it can last the day? I don't have to do those things - all I do is change my battery in 80 seconds (and this is for the other readers out there who's interested in my demonstration):

It's pretty laughable in my perspective - having to be limited and worried about battery, and carrying powerbanks and planting chargers everywhere.

I have powerbanks, and I use them to fully charge my bluetooth earset, and extra batteries because they automattically turn off to prevent overcharging - AT HOME.

They carry them just to keep the phone alive long enough until they get home and then charge it properly with a wall charger. That is the idea of using a powerbank.

If one TV show is 10 GB + how much TV shows you will store in 120 GB MicroSD card .10 ? 10 tv shows are everything you want to store in mobile phone.(real crippled phone). My advice is watch TV shows on a 4k TV. it is beautiful . If you want to store the TV shows store it in a 2 TB external hard drives and you can attach it to a TV.
So we can get an elegant phone. But ONE ELEGANT DEVICE is b*********.
Regarding mobiles plugged into walls, it doesn't seem to me as if your body is nailed to wall. I charge my note 5 from 20% to 100 % during 1 hr of Bath and breakfast.
And changing battery DAILY by removing case of a premium phone in 2015 seems most inconvenient , beyond doubt.
Exhausting battery in the middle of the day is an occasional / accidental phenomenon for most

Since I consume some 1 to 2GB of days daily over LTE, I can imagine plugging in like 4 to 6 hours with a powerbank if I gotten the Note.5. This is the future of keeping up with the deficiencies of a so-called "upgrade" that's even more fragile with a glass back.
I too have seen colleagues struggling to keep up their charging daily. It's plainly the most inefficient way, charging the spent spare battery at home while you sleep.
80 seconds, people - that's how long it takes to swap a battery with a fresh one, and boot time included.
Way more efficient than carrying a powerbank/charging pad/charger with cable, and waste "under 90-120 minutes" to get a full charge back.

Ive lost count of the times a friend has been plugged into a wall, car or power bank and I power off, change the battery and go on my way at 100% full.
Old school but still the best...

A single TV show season can be 10GB+, cloud access of this data isn't realistic in regional Australia.

Even with 64GB, it's like just putting in ONLY an extra 32GB of microSD card on top of a 32GB version. I was used to having 26GB (from 32GB internal) plus 56GB (from 64GB microSD card). Now I'm use to 120GB of extra space with 128GB microSD card.
Now Samsung expects its customers with 32GB? Very strange marketing right there.

I see the device is very good in specs...but for the persons who don't like non-removable batteries this feature going to disappear as all of the manufacturers now is taking this way only cheap devices will have the removable batteries, I think the built in battery is more stable.
may be removing the SD card slot is a problem for most of us but the device is great indeed
so don't wait to see Note 6 with a removable battery :)

Nicolas, 19 Nov 2015You are wrong! I easily bought one with 64 GB and now enjoying it!All countries have different bands and frequencies for calls and data. I can buy a grey market 64GB GN5 in Australia but it will only work on part of the Telstra network, to get full coverage I would need to but the crippled 32GB GN5. All countries should have 32, 64 and 128GB versions available for their telcos. POOR WORK SAMSUNG!!

Anonymous, 19 Nov 2015Poor Australia. In Singapore and Malaysia, we have 64gb version launched and available.Tell that to my carrier. Even Middle Eastern countries have only 32GB.
