The language differences is obvious and gibberish. Why even bother listening to radio. If you talking about American traveling to UK or England, then it is reasonable.

Seeing this a lot on tv. Mostly they emphasizes on the powerful camera. Nothing much really. The same as Note4.

Terrible idea to just take out those two important features, while we see older or lower models having them instead. Weird that my old Note 1 could actually be more useful than this - I loved that device, and it's still working with a family member.
And micro USB adapters for micro SD cards, or even those USB dongles are going to be sticking out are poor consulation implementations.

Well,I am just about to change my Note 1,which gave me an exellent service for more then 3 years.Looking at Note 5 and the missing SD card slot plus non-removable battery is certainly putting me back from purchase.I will go for Note 4.My advise is,do not touch the removable battery.It is a great feature giving the option to bring a spare battery with you on the go!

I can say nice things about the Note.5.
*Blazing fast internal UFS 2.0, which is more than 3 times faster than the the previous eMMC 5.0 - just means snappier app responses with fast reads and writes.
*With the latest 64-bit octa-core Exynos 7420 - more efficient and powerful than ANYTHING else out there.
*4GB of LPDDR4 RAM - Not that I don't use all of that RAM, but I don't expect anything crashing if one uses a heavy app like Sketchbook Pro in the highest resolution.
*S pen system with the response is top notch - lesser lag, finer in accuracy.
Er, that's about it.

AnonD-442088, 18 Sep 2015what the meaning of radio to be confirmedIt means it has an FM radio chip just like every Galaxy S & Note has but Samsung disables it but they have activated the radio for some cell providers.

My issue is every year I use more and more memory and I just can't predict how much I'll be using next year, like now on my Galaxy S5 I'm already having to delete stuff to make space on my 16gb+128gb memory.

Some people here approved having no micro SD in favor of a better performance but what will u do with a smartphone? Crunch a huge amount of data, write a code or find the zeros of the zeta function? The truth is that users use it mainly for browsing, calling, texting, photos, videos, some on gaming, etc.,and who needs a superfast phone for these activities? The performance of S2 or Note 1 is even acceptable with these basic smartphone usage but they are superior and cheaper than S6 and Note5 in terms of storage. Samsung learn from Sony, return the micro SD slot.

And there's another advantage of having a micro SD, if u happen to get a faulty device since no company has zero defects per million, even iPhone suffered many defects. When your Note5 hangup or any other fault occurs and you need to reset the device, then you will lost precious data such as photos, videos, etc... since reset erases everything, this is where the importance of having a micro SD plays, your data is still intact, some suggest to use cloud, it's nonsense, it's expensive and drains the battery and unreliable. Samsung learn from Sony, keep the micro SD on S7 and Note6.

That removable battery & No Sd card slot statement is over-repeated by you.
Being a lecturer of university doesn't mean you need to write a super long thesis in here. Nobody read this. Even your student. They probably do.zed off during your ultra bo.ring class.

Fixed battery is still accetable in note5 as it provided a more compact and ergonomic design, but no microSD slot is so unacceptable, some here suggest to buy 64GB, that is 100SGD more than the 32GB model, Samsung learn from Sony instead of following Apple, Sony kept the micro SD so u can buy a 32GB Z5 and put a 64GB micro SD for less than 50SGD.
