No SD card and removable battery isn't that big of a deal. It's still much more customizable than the iPhone, so losing two optional features is no reason to switch. It's still a darn good Galaxy.

Ronnieho, 11 Aug 2015Samsung has under estimated the preferrence of current note user, by removing sd slot and remo... moreThis effects nobody but yourself directly. True Samsung owners already have more than one handset available to them at any given time and those handsets alread have sdcard and removable battery capabilities. These new products don't have to be made the same way and thank god they aren't. The S6 and S6Edge sold 50 million plus handsets the Note5 and S6Edge+ will do the same thing. Ill be buying both day one of purchase.

I ignored the Note 4 hoping they would go back to USB 3.0 and put back in my SD card slot but still not a thing. I was also hoping for my removable battery and maybe some waterproofing. I go Samsung because they had the features Apple didn't and now it doesn't. Looks like Im going for LG G4 but I am gonna miss my stylist.

Samsung has under estimated the preferrence of current note users, I myself own a Note 3 and love the SD card and removeable battery, by removing sd slot and removable battery, This will hurt their number of sales for the note 5 because there are alot of upgraders who are going to turn away including me. The ability to add memory via the SD slot, and change batteries as needed well these are two of the biggest selling point features on the market and what has kept Samsung ahead of the rest, I believe the lack luster sales of the S5 and S6 can prove that.
For Samsung who keeps trying to "Keep Up" with Apple instead of being the better option, for Samsung to remove the Micro SD Card (Something Apple has never had), and to include a Non-Removable sealed battery (Something Apple has always done), it just goes to show that Samsung believes they can steal Apple Users by making the Note 5 similar to what the iPhones are, but in fact they are only giving Apple followers more ammunition to poke fun at and drag down Samsung Note loyal customers even more now and make samsung look like a iphone wanna be or clone.
Wanna be Apple Phone lover is not what I want to be called, so Samsung needs to sit back and once the numbers are in on the Note 5 and they realize they didn't sell 1/2 of what they wanted or expected, hopefully they will scrap this model and come out with a Note 6 or revised Note 5 ASAP with Micro SD and Removable Battery which is what has kept most Note users from switching to iPhones. All this model will do is have me looking for a new manufacturer to switch to, also one other feature they should include are front facing speakers, if Samsung wants to emulate anything than, use this from the HTC line it would be a vakue added feature.

Don't understand, why they left the S-pen? They had to remove it too!

AGAIN Samsung follows Apple's lead and ruins a good phone!
No microSD card and no USB3.0 support kills this phone for me and millions of others.

I have the same idea with the other users of not upgrading to Note 5 just because of the built in battery. It's similar to iPhones the reason I'm not a user. Anyway if Note 5 will give me more satisfaction than my current device (Note 4) why not give a try. :)

I have read a lot of comments here with people with note 2's waiting to upgrade. I have a note 2 as well and I'll bet the most of us with the note 2 is waiting for something fantastic to upgrade to. Seems to me the note 5 is just a bigger s6 and it turned me off to want to switch from my exceptional note 2. I've doubt it will be a killer phone from the S6. I've always liked the note series to outperform the S Series but this time around it may not even be the case. I can still wait Samsung, your note 2 is still the best phone of all time and the note 2 users are still waiting for a encore.

This will only help apple sell more iPhones , without removable battery or SD slot the note 5 has no other killer features and it uses the same processor from the s6 edge plus the iPhone6plus has better design and is also thinner so might as well buy an iPhone.

Anonymous, 11 Aug 2015No removable battery, no micro sd-card and breakable glass on both sides is a no deal for me.The reason why I switched from Iphone to Samsung Galaxy simply because SD and Removal battery options.

I owned the note 3 and 4, but won't be buying the 5. If I wanted an iPhone I would buy one.
What I want is a removable battery and an SD slot. Samsung just lost another loyal customer.

So over the years Samsung has now removed FM radio, SD slot, removable battery, MHL TV out, and from all the pictures it seems they removed the IR blaster and with the S6 the battery just isn't big enough for daily use.
And here I was under the naive impression phones are supposed to do more every year and not just cut features because they add a few grams of weight.
