AnonD-22824, 19 Sep 20151) How stupid it is to remove the battery cover again and again, it closes all running apps sa... more1. You don't have to keep opening the back cover. It's an option. You can have extended battery, newer battery, fresh battery, and can inspect for flaws of the battery every 3 months, or when needed. Sacrificing utility so that the device is a FRACTION of a millimeter thinner, and smaller battery is stupid, and limited thinking.
2. You can still load media on the card from your PC. You have the option of NOT to use it also. If you've read articles about Microsoft asking $15 per every Android device made, it's about the exFAT/FAT format patent dispute, and looks like Samsung doesn't want paying for that anymore.
Do you know what's even more stupid? - having less options. Galaxy Note is suppose to be the best of the best, most versatile, and yes, more options you can do with that $1000+ device you spent on.
I'd like to OWN the devices I buy, not just be a dependent RENTER of cloud storage, service center repairs, more data usage, and can't do much compared to to older, or midranged device - " hey, I can do these functions with my $300-$500 device, how come your $1000+ device can't?"
Somethings really wrong.

Reading these comments from my Galaxy Note 5 =]
I don't know why sooo many people are complaining about this device, especially the over-repeated statement of non-removable battery.
If you like it then buy, if you don't like then don't buy it, simple. I certainly wouldn't mind being the only Note 5 user on this earth.
However if you do want to join, go for the Gold Platinum color. You certainly won't regret =]

It already raised one million dollars through Kickstarter campaign.

1) How stupid it is to remove the battery cover again and again, it closes all running apps saved in the memory
2) How stupid it is to not have full access to the Micro sd card slot without root.

I see they integrated Google Drive into the file explorer. Cloud isn't the answer to good ol' independent files... yet for MOST. I have 119GB out of the 128GB of micro SD inside my Note 3 - totally beats the waiting time accessing my 200GB OneDrive. It took over 5 minutes this morning to download a 23mb PPT file for me to edit in an area with only a fluctuating 3G signal.

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.
