        Amazing productive tool. Too bad the Note.5 isn't as a powerhouse in features and versatility like previous Galaxy Notes.

        Currently only 32GB is available, and no promise of a 64GB version. Most likely will never come out for local market.

                    I'm a Note user since Note 1. Now I'm waiting for Note 5 to replace my Note 4. I'm an Architect and I have not much problem for removable or expandable phone capacity. What I'm looking for is the speed and capability of camera and the ability of Stylus for sketching and handwriting. Note 5 is an Architect's smartphone.

To someone who is huge (media)files consumer that is ready to compromise on few secs of speed or some one who is not ready to giveup on the speed but there r ppl expecting both the things at the same time and thats where the problem arises...lol

                              I am on a trian ritnow so sorry for the typos.

                                I understand that the issue with the external card slot & internal memory is not abt the compitibilty but its done on purpose to avoid the use of cheap micro sd slots that results in lags but this does not mean that there is no high speed cards out there its just that a huge chunk of normal users wud prefer to buy a cheap card (hyped as cheap expansion) and then blaming the phone only abt the lags.
                                But this is something mainly depends on who u ask? A huge (media)files consumer that is reday to compromise on few secs of speed or some one is not ready to give on the speed but there r ppl execting both.lol
                                Google is also well aware of this issue i.e none of the Nexus has ever seen any card slots.they mainly think abt the smooth user experince and optimizations more than anything else.
                                I recently used the s6 and was amazed how fast the camera works.i hope to see the same thing in the all new note5 and s6 edge+

                                  And this is all I'm asking for on my phone too where I have the option of a big internal UFS 2.0 memory to run all my apps but an SD slot to hold any media since that won't cause any lag because Android is designed so you can't move apps or system processes to the SD meaning phone manufacturers have to create a mod to allow moving apps to SD, so the reality is all this talk about UFS 2.0 not being compatible with the FAT file system is a load of bull and is only an issue when moving apps to SD.

But yes i agree that samsung is all over the iphones users now and as far as Apple goes i think they finding it tough to keep there fanboys happy i.e apple is now trying to give a little improved specs in there upcoming smartphones.

U might b surprised that i also hate samsung for few things like they have ... moreIf Samsung wants to target the iPhone type users by reversing their function over form approach they used to have then I wish them luck.
                                      But the problem is Samsung are nothing like Apple as they have never been that good at marketing, so I think they really should cover all their bases by making at least 1 premium phone for power users with SD and removable battery because if nothing else it keeps the most vocal Samsung fanboys happy since we've been their biggest cheerleaders all these years convincing everyone why their phones were so good since they were a match for anything Apple could do plus had every feature you could possibly want.
