This one has only 2GB RAM but 5000mah battery :)

[Galaxy Note5 General] rushless:
Somehow I could see Samsung leadership who do know rationalizing this way ;) I think they realize the lack of sd hurt the the S6, but far too late to make any Note 5 design change and be ahead of the iPhone 6+ refresh. Samsung needs to appreciate they lost some sales due to Apple going to bigger displays, but now they are losing core Note users making the Note 5 a giant S6.

Wonder if we see a Note 5 "active" with sd slot and battery?? ;) Nah.
[Galaxy Note5 General] elevul:
We were expecting a 6" 4k display, for VR sake. That would have been very useful.
[Galaxy Note5 General] wase4711:
honestly, I dont think anyone at Samsung cares about sd card slots and removable batteries; I think they see the hundred of millions of Iphones sold year after year with no sd card and no removable battery, and figure that they should do the same thing and people will just flock to their phone as an Apple alternative.

having a sealed phone probably cuts down on warranty claims, and the SD card is the slowest "cog" in the data transfer stream on a phone, so, its easy to see why all these factors make them decide to eliminate all these things that enthusiasts have bought their phones for the last few years.

I assume they feel that they may lost 50,000 "enthusiast" sales by doing this, but they stand to gain the millions and millions of potential Iphone buyers by making their phones so similar to Apples..

The Korean manufacturers have always preferred to copy other folks designs than to be ground breakers themselves over the last 20 years, so it only makes sense for them to copy someone else(Apple) success, insted of being innovators on their own.

What they dont realize or care about is that its a different world out there today than it was 20 years ago, and now a days, people jump on innovative products, they dont avoid them..
[Galaxy Note5 General] elevul:
Aside from that, they already tried that with the S6, which they themselves confirmed was a failure...

Why the hell would they repeat the same mistake again?
[Galaxy Note5 General] wase4711:
these designs were probably put into place a year or more ago, so they are "committed" to them, I guess..

giant corporations like Samsung move at a Glacial pace, and realizing they made a mistake, and then changing design/manufacturing doesnt happen quickly
[Galaxy Note5 General] Batfink33:
I don't think current CPU/GPUs are powerful enough for 4k plus how many people actually use VR?
[Galaxy Note5 General] TechAnimal:
I remember Samsung doing a quick review of the Galaxy s2 or s3 following release of the iphone. They did that in just a few months

[Galaxy Note5 General] toofimoofi:
I dont totally agree.unlike Apple, samsung has 10sof diff models for different users. They can do that iphone wannabe nosd/noremovablebattery for lets sat their main series which is Galaxy S. And leave Note be what its ment to be. Not just s phone but phablet for heavy users.
[Galaxy Note5 General] rushless:
Chip nm size is still too big to make it practical. Agree it would be nice none the less :)
[Galaxy Note5 General] wase4711:
but, with profits down big time in their mobile division, they are looking to reduce how many models they make, so for them, if the make a "small" S6, and a big S6(Note 5), in their eyes, it makes them look like Apple does with the Iphone6/6+, and it keeps their designs similar..That is attractive to manufacturers, but doesn't always make their customers happy.

as their profits continue to drop, they will have fewer and few phone models going forward.

We have to remember that their mobile phone division is only a small part of the giant Samsung corporation, so they wont continue to expand it, if they dont grow their profits for their investors..
[Galaxy Note5 General] elevul:
All the people who tried Oculus Cinema on the Note4 loved it as far as I know. The issue is mostly the cost of the GearVR package (which is just lenses). If they drop the price on that (since they're already marking up way too much on it) there will definitely be way more interest.

And yes, I think for applications like Cinema the current mobile GPUs are enough. Not for games, but those can be run at 1080p while still not having the issue of seeing the lines.
[Galaxy Note5 General] HUYI:
Motorola tend to give uk and europe the backseat when it comes to updates, i got my first tablet from them a few years ago (Motorola xoom) and it was laggy to the point that it was unresponsive, I've sworn to never buy one of thier products ever again.

I've heard good things about LG though, they are a Korean company like Samsung.
[Galaxy Note5 General] rushless:
Motorola has a weak supply chain and this correlates to support as well. Catch 22 for them, since not enough revenue and profit to expand resources. Moto X Pure/Style could be their chance to take some share from Samsung, but they need to be able to cover demand with supply and also support the products. That is the good thing about buying from a carrier since you DO get the support. Not much an option with Motorola's purchase model, so they had better have their "A" game ready, since good reviews following the launch buzz would mean big sales- especially at the price points.

Perhaps Lenovo will provide some resources, but that is perhaps. They are not exactly support champions either.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Metallic Palladium:
The MicroSD haters are bonkers; nobody is forcing you to use the slot and the speed is virtually irrelevant in real world audio/video media playback.

As it stands the Note 5 is an iPhone 6S+ without the Apple logo and iOS. Samsung has already lost so much high-end sales to the iP6/6+, where they should put in as much differentiation advantage imaginable to set them apart from Apple now yet they going full steam ahead with this fruit envy trainwreck.
[Galaxy Note5 General] headshrinker139:
Gonna drop 32GB Note 4 and get the Note 5. My 32GB sdcard is full so I might find a way to have more than enough storage I need. I am used to having swappable batteries (I swap batteries AT LEAST 3x daily) and I understand that it's a big downside. However, I love my girlfriend's awesome S6 and I am sure that Note 5 will easily top that great experience. I really have no reason to change phones until I shattered the screen on my Note 4. But.. I'm 80% certain I'll hold that shiny new Note 5 pretty soon!
[Galaxy Note5 General] Goldeneye185:
You swap 3 batteries per day and you want to buy a note 5 that comes with a mom removable battery. My dude save your money okay. Note 5 and s6 are a waste of money.
[Galaxy Note5 General] wase4711:
If you're somewhere near a wireless charger all day, then you might be able to get by with the note 5, but if your not, you are in for a big let down, as my S6 Edge wont last an entire day with moderate use, unless I have it on the wireless charger alot..and, if the note 5 comes with the 3000mah battery we keep hearing about, that wont last someone like you more than a few hours..

BTW, what do you do with your phone that you need to swap batteries out 3 times a day??
[Galaxy Note5 General] headshrinker139:
I constantly play with it, hunt good apps, read news, social media, play music (guys check out Shuttle+ or Stellio music players if you haven't already).. Also Ingress, must be the worst battery drainer on my Note 4.

The good thing is I've stopped being a hardcore player 3 months ago (I reached L16 in just 8 months if anyone here knows what I'm talking about)

But yeah, I'll be disappointed with the omission of the replaceable battery. However, I'll probably make some adjustments and leave my phone alone for stretches while it charges. [emoji4]

[Galaxy Note5 General] wase4711:
please read the story completely; dual sim, INTERNATIONAL models only , NOT USA models...
[Galaxy Note5 General] Drizzy xS:
I don't see what your point is I'm from the UK so the international model relates to me and quite a few other people
[Galaxy Note5 General] wase4711:
since many of the people on this board are not international users, you need to specify what applies to international vs usa type of products when you make a statement like "sd card slot confirmed"

It would be like me saying "wifi calling confirmed on the note 5", when that only applies to certain USA carriers
[Galaxy Note5 General] Drizzy xS:
I edited the link, while this isn't the exact same article I read earlier, it seems to be a cut and paste of it and confirms what the other said, basically a retailer website has the note, and they have the official specs on the website confirming 4100 battery, 3000 seems to be for the s6 edge plus
[Galaxy Note5 General] hello00:
it doesnt make sense that the international models get sdcard support and not the U.S models..i call bs on this one

and btw on this leak specs doesnt say anything about the note 5 having sdcard slot..( 64 GB and 128 GB options are expected for internal storage)
[Galaxy Note5 General] toofimoofi:
If this is true then Ill definitly buy one :)
[Galaxy Note5 General] rushless:
That articles uses "expected" and "should" and zero confirmative wording. Seems BS.
[Galaxy Note5 General] headshrinker139:
Hi guys.

I haven't decided yet but if I'm going to get a new phone then it will most likely be a Note 5.

I almost always get the international versions (S1, S2, S4, Note 4) and I only got subsidized unit once from a carrier (my old S4).

With that said, I am very happy with the Note 4 and I am pretty certain that the Note 5 will have a boost in terms of performance because I've seen the improvements on my girlfriend's S6.

I'm now ok with the idea of charging it frequently be it wireless, via powerbank or whatnot.

I'm bothered having a broken screen on my Note 4 and since it didn't come with full warranty, I'd have to pay at least $200 to have it replaced.

If that is the case then I'd rather have a shiny new Note 5 albeit I'd have to add a few more hundred dollars.

I'll decide once they unveil the Note 5. I have more than 50GB Dropbox space so I'll be ok with 32GB or perhaps 64GB Note 5. Either way, there's no other phone for me so far except the Note series. I dig the stylus and use it frequently.

Also, I used to prefer stock Android. Not anymore. Samsung has done a good job to make TouchWiz acceptable and I see it continues to evolve.

Now if they can only find a way to do it wireless fast charge or when using a powerbank... Nah... I don't think it's out there already ?
[Galaxy Note5 General] xxSTARBUCKSxx:
Touchwiz blows...

[Galaxy Note5 General] PurpleMelbourne:
If Samsung want to be total tards, how about they drop the stylus from the Note 5 too. Iphone doesn't have a stylus, so why should the Note?

Obviously Samsung Note users are just dumb confused iphone buyers who bought a samsung by accident....

What have those morons at Samsung been thinking to cripple our beutiful Note this way?

Right now I'm using a Note 3 with 128GB SD cause I see Note 4 only as a Note 3+ without USB 3.0

I was so looking forward to a bigger screen, little faster cpu, little bit more memory, slightly improved radio chip, USB C plug i dont have to flip 3 times to get it right, hopefully 64 or 128GB internl flash and then add a 200GB san disc micro SD or bigger. The sky would have been more blue and the grass more green.

Now Samsung make my world gray :(

I guess Note 4 will be the end of the line :(
[Galaxy Note5 General] jayesh:
This is flying against every other leak from very reputable sources, which clearly states 3000 mAh and no sd-card.

[Galaxy Note5 General] toofimoofi:
Cuz its components arent good enough. Bad battery capacity and little RAM
[Galaxy Note5 General] wase4711:
http://www.motorola.com/us/smartphones/moto-x-pure.html

3 gigs of ram, and 3000mah battery, with ultra fast charge in 15 minutes doesnt sound too shabby to me..

and, not having the ram killing Touch Wiz interface on top of it will likely make it even faster and less of a battery hog..

plus, water repellent, stereo speakers, quad HD screen, 21 meg camera, not sure what about the specs say "bad components" to you??

[Galaxy Note5 General] wase4711:
I've actually been using wifi explorer pro to do my file transfers for awhile now, and I find that if you have a fast wifi in your house, the files move really fast. Its such a PITA to always connect a cable to the phone and the pc to transfer files, and, on alot of custom roms, especially AOSP ones, its hard sometimes to get your computer to recognize your phone quickly..

[Galaxy Note5 General] Burgscheinkerkdeiktraast:
We will see what it's gonna be.

For now it is just hype like it was (and is) in case of One Plus One (Two). I do not have to remind that balloon of hype in case OnePlus exploded and we get just average phone.

There are no miracles, you get what you pay for.
[Galaxy Note5 General] POLO_i780:
From a Note 4, I'd say its a downgrade. Snapdragon 808 which has a weaker GPU than the 805.

Lower capacity battery at 3000mAh

A QHD LCD display instead of AMOLED will be also more power hungry

Same RAM

Does the Camera have OIS? GSMArena don't seem to say so in its specs.

I'd much rather stick with the Note 4 and update to 5.1.1 when it arrives for the rest of us as it apparently fixes a lot.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Batfink33:
Agreed.

Plus only Gorilla Glass 3.

Shame, as it looks great.

Just read another leak from Saudi Arabia stating note 5 has 4100mah bat sd card slot. Hope it's true if so I'm happy

Removable battery isn't a biggy for me especially if it's 4100

Roll on 13th and then we know 4 sure

No doubt people moan about other stuff now!

All speculation till official release don't know why people keep slating a phone that's not even been announced by Samsung it's self.

[Galaxy Note5 General] madushan92:
+1, i 'm not worrying about 3000mah as long as the phone quick charges, we can charge it in an instance.

Also i think 3gb is more than enough for stock Android - so it's not gonna be a problem.

Only thing i will miss is the gorgeous Super AMOLED display - that's why I'm waiting for the next nexus - there was a rumour that Huawei is going to use Samsung-made Super AMOLED panel in their next nexus, if it is true next nexus is going to be a deal breaker.
[Galaxy Note5 General] rushless:
And the 64gb version will be $500 or less.
[Galaxy Note5 General] bonerp:
still giving this a wide berth.

Read an article yesterday that the reason 4gb ram is required is to largely handle touchwiz....! Samsung really need to clean this up.

LG G4 Pro on the horizon looks likely for me.
[Galaxy Note5 General] hello00:
i doubt you will notice a big speed change from 808 to 810 or 805..if they choose the 810 then everyone would be complaining that it will overheat and get crappy battery life and the cpu is faster than the 805

so everyone who has seen the phone has said the display was great..they saud it is super bright and great viewing angles
[Galaxy Note5 General] nookcoloruser:
It's confirmed a FAKE
[Galaxy Note5 General] POLO_i780:
The CPU doesn't seem a great deal better than the 805, but TBH I have paid little attention to the 808 as I see it as inferior overall to the 805, so if you can prove me wrong please do as I feel Qualcomm have done a poor job of both 808 and 810 and should have just tweaked the 805 further and finished up their Custom CPU.

You do not seem to have understood what I said about the display. I was not talking about brightness or viewing angles, but rather about Power Consumption & Efficiency vs. a QHD SAMOLED Display.

The only reason I am still with Samsung is because they retained the removable battery and microsd slot in the Note 4. Looks now like I will become an LG owner when I upgrade. Too bad, as my last 4 phones have all been Samsungs.

[Galaxy Note5 General] lisbon2004:
As a note 4 user, i'm totally disappointed. I can't see any reason (for Note 4 owners at least) to buy this device.

still heavy - 170g - a no-go

microsd slot is gone, which is a no-go

only up to 64gb memory (and the 64gb model will be surely overpriced)

fast wireless charging? can live without it (but not without the SD card)

non-removable battery? well, for me personally that's a minus, but not a no-go

edge version? edge is a huge usability minus imho. no thanks!

the design? anyone who cares about the device buys a silicone bumper case to protect the screen, so design we see and feel only during the first day of purchase...

Well, i can't agree with the statement that Note x users are accustomed to it's heavy weight.

i was hoping it would be lighter, like 130g.

i need and want a lighter device...

the heavy weight of Note 4 makes me unhappy every day.

Looking back as a note 4 user since November 2014, i realize that I don't use the s-pen much, and can live without it... but not without the sd card.

to sum up: very disappointed. will not buy it. will not recommend it...

sticking to my note 4 for now, will be shopping around for lighter solutions in future.

with all the recent changes (to the worse), Galaxy Note 5 is no longer worth the money that samsung asks for it.
[Galaxy Note5 General] XBOHDPuKC:
Wait for LG G4 Pro begins... :)
[Galaxy Note5 General] rushless:
I think Samsung has grossly underestimated the consumer pushback of their current install base. This could be nasty, but Samsung marketing in their cover their butts brilliance will blame the iPhone again. This sales loss

would be squarely on their Note design decisions. They have essentially designed a step bother to the iPhone 6 plus that has even less storage options. My guess is they will cave and offer a 128GB option, but too late to offset the damage.
[Galaxy Note5 General] sharingan5791:
Samsung needs to fire whatever board or person that thought these changes would be a good idea for the Note series. Their Q4 and profits for next year are def gonna be in the negatives. The iPhone 6s didn't need to release to hinder their profits. Samsung shot themselves in the face with this one
