Han Yi Soo, 09 Sep 2015Internal battery, how long it will last? before reach it's degradation.
Note 5 after 1 year... moreNot really exactly 1 year. About 300 to 500 charge cycles. If you fully discharge & recharge twice daily, you are guaranteed efficiency of about 5 to 8 months. That's why I cycle 3 batteries, guaranteeing me up to two years of power efficiency.
It really depends on your usage too, and avoidance of heating (or extreme cold) - mostly heat reduces the ability of the chemical composition of the battery to hold better charges or longer power discharge.
Then also, the Depth of Discharge (DOD) should not be so much so your charging cycles can increase, even up to 10 times more if you charge after 10% to 30% of battery discharge. The best advice is to keep your charge between 40% to 80% - avoiding deep discharged or overcharging, keeping your battery highly optimised.
Fast charging and any wireless (normal or fast) puts more stress and heat to the battery, and normal charging time should be practiced.
Of course with the sealed battery, maintenance like I mentioned would be more difficult. With a removable battery system, you can even inspect for battery defects by simply looking if it's starting to bulge. This is to avoid instability and avoidance of it exploding. I can't stress this enough - a concern of high heat fire in your pants.
Everyone should read battery university dot com. I'm not making this stuff up.

What a POS!!!! 4 days old and the battery will not last more than half a day, I get constant "Reset Errors", half of the apps have been modified and any usefulness taken away. I would gladly give T-Mobile this piece of crap back in trade for my Note4 that worked just fine....

Internal battery, how long it will last? before reach it's degradation.
Note 5 after 1 year = battery problem.
Note 4 after 3 years = still the same (4 battery and can do swap, easy 100%)

Anonymous, 08 Sep 2015Who inserts the s-pen backwards and calls it an issue with the device? That's just stupid. Peo... moreIt's a design flaw. It should not happen at all. It's an outrage! A good design should be child-proof, prank-proof, idiot-proof, and stupid-proof.
This is a big deal for me. I don't want someone else trying to put the pen back the wrong way because of some news or plain no knowledge of this.

Non-removable battery is big problem for customers, because average battery lifetime
on smartphones is 1 year and after that smart phone go to wastes !!!
Costomers are forced to buy a new phone every year of 1000 euros !!!
Also phones without memory card is a big problem,
Note 4 support memory card up to 128GB !!!
NOTE 4 is last hi-end smart phone with removable battery,
and it will remain forever the best option for me.
I never buy smartphone with Non-removable battery !!!

PositveN, 08 Sep 2015I believe it is trend.. non-removable battery, No SD card, Metal Glass etc.. all this are new ... moreNo, I won't buy it, manufacturer can't force it's customer. It's not about trend, it's about features. There is "Shadow Move" between manufacturer. Now, many device didn't have Micro SD and Removable Battery. I don't know what exact reason but it seem they want to make more profit with removing it's feature. No Micro SD = Use Cloud => Pay for Cloud Storage. No Removable Battery = Battery Problem => Pay with Higher Price than buy removable battery. More Battery is better to out from Battery Degradation Problem and out from service time (2 weeks or more).

PositveN, 08 Sep 2015it is personal preference la! Bro.
no need SD card - replaced with Cloud Storage 100GB alrea... moreNo need for Micro SD? LOL.
Note 5 Users = 32GB+100GB (Internal + Cloud) Storage.
Note 4 Users = 32GB+128GB+100GB (Internal + External + Cloud) Storage.
Still want to count?? :)
You want to use OTG USB Storage? Note 4 can OTG USB Storage too. LOL
Never use IR Blaster? Try use it once, you will like it. :) (If you have IR Blaster on you device).
Like I said, Nope 5 is Powerful and Beautiful. But, many complex problem like battery degradation, spen backward, easily broken when drop, no micro sd, no IR blaster.
This is fight between old and new, between features and performance.
Who will win? of course features.

no need SD card - replaced with Cloud Storage 100GB alrea... more100GB of cloud storage with a slow internet connection is utterly useless with waste of time downloading, more data usage. Having a 128GB micro SD card can give you 119GB with of extra storage, instantly accessing whatever you need.
I should know - I have 200GB of OneDrive for two years. And I have more sense not trying to watching my HD movies through streaming. Cloud is great for upload backups.

Samsung fanboy, 08 Sep 2015Even samsung produce 2000 mah in this note is this salable. Why are u complaining guys. U re j... more"Guys" is not only me. Didn't you hear the news, samsung profit drop since S6. the truth is, after S5, S users pissed off with S6. Then samsung had been topped it in Note 5. If you prefer Note 5 with Powerful Performance and More Beautiful, then go for it. I'm here just said the truth about Note 5. The Glass, Non removable, No SD Card, No IR, Spen Problem Design.
Software features in Note 5 (Spen Menu, Black Screen Write, Scroll Capture) can be done with software in Note 4. But, the features can't , because it's hardware !!
Note 4 performance isn't as high as Note 5, but Note 4 have more features.
Note 4 user's that want to upgrade to Note 5, run away from Note 5, and go for other brand, some go for LG, HTC, Apple, Sony. Samsung just ruin it's Notes series. This is not Note Series, this is Nope Series and begin from 5 not 1, with Nope 5.
There is a signal with Nope 5, because it's name is "Note5" not "Note 5" it's real name is "Nope 5". (Joke)
Why I'm here? because I don't like what samsung did to Notes series. Samsung, can you read this? I'm not the only one that get upset with what you do, Do want many Notes users like me go away from you? If you still can't believe me, read all opinion in youtube about Note 5 Unboxing or Any Other Videos. You won't get many customer this year for your Note 5.
