    AnonD-77443, 28 Nov 2015I agree, the GN5 is (or could be) a great phone... its just a shame that it was ruined for so ... moreI actually dont care about who still arguing wanna big storage. 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.

            I dont know whether who comments here already own or not their GN5, but for me for galaxy note user since note 3, note 5 is superb smartphone, since note 3 ive never use sd card following with note 4 and should be no problem for me for 32 gb instead wanna use external memory, this phone though not a hard disk haha
            Ive pre own ni beast since a week and still cannot deny the satisfaction. Huhh 😂😂
            Great touch thumb print, very unlike note 4 need to swipe.
            Great 4gb ram, ive used to watch movie online and do some text n yet no problem switching the apps.
            Great fast charging, take only 1 hour ++ to 100%.
            Great camera.
            Great s pen, who stupid enough wanna put their pen backward? Haha
            Great device for now.

              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.

                  Its been a week i have been using note 5 in india i must say its the best phone i have used till now, i had note 4 before, no complaints at all battery is atleast 4hrs screen on time. The best part is that it doesnt heat up at all.

                                    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.

                                        I tend to agree with this video review of the Note.5:
                                        http://youtu.be/HGbk357nG_M

                                        What used to be no other type of device in the market catering to the "prosumers" has been castrated by Samsung, mixing it up and confusing it with the S series. That ability to be able to use it like a SSD on the go with a 128/200GB of microSD card was something we can use - and only to be selling the 32GB version in most countries isn't helping.

                                        Samsung has now created a vacum of what it originally a category for power users like me. If only LG has an active digitizer pen, I'd go out and get one than this excuse of a Galaxy Note.
