Say no to slots, 21 Aug 2015Sd slots are for noobs. No use other then media. It can't even install Apps unless you root.. ... moreDuh... Your agreeing with me... I said SD Cards for data storage.... And you obviously missed my comments about cloud services. The SD card is like the S-pen... A lot of people use it... For those that don't.... Just ignore it because it doesn't effect your device otherwise.

This phone is missing its 128GB version.. or at least in my country.. thats the only downfall.
WE NEED MORE Internal storage. NOT silly slots. Especially when our media collection has already exceed 2TB. To have random access to more then 2TB media.. whats a 128gb slot? SO SMALL... then the tons of issue of dupes.. sync.. copy .. delete .. i do not want to deal with that!
Just leave your media at home / NAS.. and do Port forwarding.. and have your media everywhere you go.. regardless of devices. And have the phone's internal storage solely for Apps!

The real reason is Samsung has been losing profits the last few years so they're copying off of Apple by Making more profits from expensive internal memory knowing people are forced to buy new phones more often since they can't just stick an SD in when they're running short on memory, plus the non removable battery is part of that plan.

KinG, 20 Aug 2015Believe it or not, memory cards are now a thing of the past like floppy disks...but then 64 Gb... moreThe beauty of SD cards is that they offer large amounts of storage for a low cost (getting 128GB devices gets really expensive). Once you have a card you can simply use it on a new phone.
They are slower but most people only use it for storage of bulk data (offline maps, movies, songs pics etc).
I honestly think that the reason the card has been dropped is the $5-$15 licencing cost (per device) that Samsung is required to pay Microsoft.... in the long term the lost sales would have easily covered that cost.
To anyone who says we should all be on cloud services... that's fine when you have cheap unlimited mobile data and almost 100% mobile coverage, a lot of people don't have this.

Samsung needs to includes 128gb internal storage with sd cards option for photos, documents etc.
64gb is beyond a joke.
Even if Samsung offer 100gb online storage. We don't have unlimited data here in Australia. So uploading and downloading documents etc is an overkill.

What can u say about the keyboard cover? Yay or nay?
I remember my old phone Sony Ericsson P990i With the design.. after that I was a blackberry addict just bec. Of the keyboard. I was not a fan of full touch screen phone but I got used to it. Now, i think im gonna like the note5 regardless of the specs. And oh, I just wished that the phone's waterproof like some of the xperia z family..

I am waiting for some company Which can Beat Samsung in Future in Phone Manufacturing .

I guess that means when your computer runs out of memory you just shrug you shoulders and go "Meh... Hard drives are a thing of the past"
Just try to comprehend that smartphones have now replaced most of what people once needed computers for and for a huge portion of the world they don't have a computer at all as there's not much need now.

Anonymous, 20 Aug 2015I will stick to my note 3. Used to like my note 2 cos it had Fm Radio that records programmes ... morewell said. i agree with you in totality. same here. sticking to my note 3. just got a new battery for note 3

I was waiting for Note 5 eagerly. Am still on note 3 and i think will continue with that. Really cannot understand why they cannot put a larger battery. 1 mm increase in thickness will not do any harm, but just imagine with such big size of phone and non-removal battery, manufacturers should use the space and design a much higher capacity of battery. If it was 4000 mah battery on note 5 / S6 Edge +, i would have bought one today. Now i have just bought a new battery for my old note 3.

Believe it or not, memory cards are now a thing of the past like floppy disks...but then 64 Gb should be the minimum on a flagship, with availability of 128 Gb for power users.
Samsung is at the moment manufacturing cheap 128 Gb memory chips for low and midrange phones.
"We expect to see that mid-to-low-end smartphones will increasingly adopt 128GB of memory storage in the near future," a Samsung spokesman said via email.
My S6 Edge 64 Gb has no memory card and i don't miss it. Card was slow and unreIiable, being easily corrupted or unreadable for unknown reasons...
