Anonymous, 16 Aug 2015.... 500 cycles.. 1000 cycles.. Does not mean everytime you charge u use a cycle.
And besid... moreHuge chunk? But the problem is, today's batteries can't last a day with heavy usage, they even struggle with half a day. So even a minimal capacity loss is actually huge. They need to make a battery lasting at least a day with any usage and having at least 1000 cycles (Without significant capacity loss).
Then, and only then non-removable batteries won't matter.

And business users don't need a good battery? That's new.

And besid... morePeople use iPhones all the time. Those who are complaining the Note 5 is junk due to no removable battery or sd card, that they are power users and need this sort of thing. Power users? Like someone that needs to carry all their media with them at all times? That's not a power user, that's a media hoarder.
There's all kinds of high-end professionals that are on the road alot, travel alot that use their phones as their lifeline for all their personal and business needs and a good majority of them have iPhones. No removable battery, no sd card and they seem to manage fine without it.
But these power users... the ones who need 4k movies and flac music fikes to fill up their sd cards are demanding a bigger battery in what's known to be a business/professional phone (not a media centric phone) so they can spend their whole day watching and listening to crap on their phones all day. That's ridiculous! Go get a media centric phone that has huge batteries and sd cards then. I, as a general user and business user think the Note 5 is just fine and a good upgrade. I bet I'm the majority too.

And besid... moreHmmm, that's if you really won't be using it like crazy, or NOT use wireless or fast charging. High temperature will also affect the battery's ability to hold charges. Look at the table from B.U.:

let me ask u once ag... moreThe word hypocrite might mean something different for you. :-p
I'm not a hypocrite, I'm just extremely sarcastic that you get confused what I'm actually saying - English being a 2nd language and all.
So, there is no 11,000 mAh power bank that charges "30 to 40" minutes...
That'd be some miraculous technology. Ultra fast charging only goes full charging of 3220mAh in about 60 minutes or so. But 11,000 mAh charging in 40 minutes just take the cake! I can imagine the stress that fast charging system can do with present lithium-ion or even lithium polymer chemical composition. Or maybe I'm wrong about it. I'd really like to know about it, please?

And besides, after all that charging.. you still have a huge huge chunk left over. To give you a good estimate.. it takes you 5 to 10 years... more then enough for you to change phones.
I never did found anyone or a major issue that people have with build in battery.

So, basically putting in "500" cycles is really highly optimistic. Even so, if we take the number 500 cycles, and if you're a heavy user who needs to charge twice daily, you can count 250 days, ie - 8.3 months. That doesn't even teach you a year. Most sellers actually just give 6 months warrantee like my region.
In the same article states that charging after a 50% of "depth of discharge" shows you can triple the battery cycles. It's also consistent to what I was paying before which is to keep your battery charge between 40 to 80% if you want to get way over 1000 cycles.
Yeah, who cares, right? It's so troublesome to keep maintaining that. That's why changeable batteries come in handy.
Everyone should read the article for Ultra fast charging. You have to actually turn your device off to properly do it.
Again, other than the 80 seconds I take to swap to a fresh battery, I get to use my devices

So I must use the 128 GB storage Note 5 as minimum !!!
But when you have expandable memory you can store whatever you need, also it will be useful when you need to make a backup for contacts, images, videos, music files while formating your phone

These people keep bringing 'samsung copy apple' into the discussion table. It gets boring to fight this samsung haters. Even when samsung used to have sd slot and removable battery back then the 'samsung copy apple' thing never stop. What the worst could happen even IF samsung did really copy apple? Its not like apple gonna die any soon. Samsung sales don't even affect apple sales anymore. It just jealousy talking.
