Now that the S6 is out and the whole world saw Samsung take out expandable storage & removable battery in the S6 in favor of design, does anyone think they will do this to the Note 5 as well?
I certainly hope not because this will be the last Samsung I will buy ever again.
If they do it would be like buying a nexus
I think they will drop both, but I hope not.

I hope not, too.
But, if the Note line is supposed to be for power users and the S line for normal users, then they should be smart and not ditch the expandable storage and removable battery.
The Note series isn't been pushed for its design aspects as much as its feature set. The Note series is also very business orientated and because of that the removable battery is a seriously important feature. bringing an extra battery is a must for most business users who are away from the office a lot or travel and such. There would be no point in removing the MicroSD slot if they still have a removable battery,
Now of course Samsung don't want to brand the Note series that way, but ultimately a large phone such as the Note would see no benefit from a premium design such as the S6 as the general population aren't going to go for phones much bigger than the S6 and as such removing features for such a thing would be counter productive.
At least I hope so. If Samsung remove the MicroSD slot from the Note series, I will stick with the Note 4 for as long as possible and then move to another company. Samsung can scream all of the nonsense they what, copying Apple's greed for storage strangled devices is nothing short of pathetic. If your going that route, then 64GB better be the standard. Why bother advertising 2k display here, 4K camera there, if people don't have the storage to deal with higher size content.
I hope Samsung thinks in the same way for Note 5. Otherwise I will be moving to iPhone 6S plus

Yeah and for one I'd be seriously tempted to choose the Nexus. The N6 is a pretty sweet phone, the only reason I don't have one is that it's not as good as the Note 4. Removable battery and micro sd slot being 2/3 of the reasons I have the Note 4 instead.
If they do then bye ? Samsung

Yup, and of course feedback. The thing is though that samsung has the ability to do both, but in order to improve their margins they have gone the Apple route, a route which I think they will stay on as long as it brings in greater profits, which is going to be the case due to the S6 actually being quite awesome in comparison to the rest of the phones out there.
Note 5 will keep both because its designed for power users on the go. The S6 is more for the mainstream crowed like Iphones sheeple.
If they do it's bye bye Samsung for me too after Captivate, S3, Note 2, Note 4.
If s6 sales fail then they wont.
I know I wont buy a pjone without microsd.
I think Samsung will first see how people react to the S6 once on the market and base their decision around that for their next phones (including Note 5). However, I hate to say that I think non-removable batteries and nonexpandible storage are the future (as much as I hate it). Google is really encouraging these kinds of features and many companies may follow in their footsteps.
I read somewhere a day ago that the 32GB S6 will have expandible storage. The slot is under a flap cover that's on the top of the phone instead of under the cover. There's another dlot on the sidr of the phone for the sim. That was not officially confirmed though, and I think the people discussing it were only basing it on the photos and hands-on footages. But they all see one distinct slot, a distinct flap covering something, and a micro USB port on the phone. I'd confirm it myself, but I can't tell based on images, what version of the S6 I'm looking at.

I have a feeling the S6 will actually be a big hit with consumers. It's visually appealing and has great specs. Most mainstream users don't swap out batteries or load up large SD cards. With 64GB versions to be sold I expect the S6 will do very well, although I'm hoping that Samsung leaves the SD card and replaceable battery in the Note 5. That would help distinguish their mainstream S6 from the power-user Note model. As it stood before, the Note was simply a more powerful version of the S6 with an S-Pen..
S6 pre orders have already smashed records and launch is sill a few weeks away. Like it or not, these sales figures will have an influence on Samsung's design team going forward. In other words don't be surprised if the Note 5 has a solid glass or possibly metal back.
It would be OK with me if they made sure higher storage options are available and not to hard to find. Android is making it tough for OEMs to have ext storage. I know I needed root to access mine the way I wanted to.
Either way I am not worried because the note 4 is the last device for awhile.
http://phandroid.com/2015/03/09/galaxy-s6-pre-orders/
According to Korea Times, Samsung has confirmed that a combined 20 million+ units of the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge have been pre-ordered. More specifically, the Samsung Galaxy S6 commands an overwhelming majority of that number with 15 million units, while the Edge variant accounts for about 5 million. Well, if you don’t recall, Apple’s iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus pre-sales were pegged at a whopping 4 million.

This does not bode well for the Note 5. We have to constantly let Samsung know on their Facebook page that they SHOULD NOT get rid of expandable storage or removable battery.

I'm not going to even bother do that. I will just not buy it.
That should send the message.
So if note 5 has no external storage and no removable battery then no one that want these features should buy it.
Then I bet note 6 will have whatever we want.
If they removed either, I would not by their product and have to look for an alternative from one of their competitors.
If this is true, I see myself passing.

Personally I don't need a larger battery or a glass back. I do need my removable batter and micro SD slot.
Samsung is just trying to pad it's bottom line now. They're not selling like they used to do to with their premium prices. Now they're trying to make it up by changing premium prices for memory. Too bad Samsung screwed itself when they went after their own American team when they had that ultra successful marketing campaign.

Lol :laugh: I don't think any of us are *****ing about the "stylus". In fact we expect and want that feature to stay.
The part that is ruining it for many of us (at least myself), is the part where they are leaning towards a permanent battery and NO microSD. :cyclops:
Will you upgrade your Note 4 to a Note 8? What? There's not a Note 8? Well there's no Note 5 either...

Exactly. I chose the note 4 edge over the s6 with those specific features in mind. I've been buying Samsung for a few generations now, but if the Note 5 is anything like the one in the article, I'll have to look at the next LG G-series.
Not unless they give me an SD card slot. I will definitely be going else where. Maybe lg. I kinda miss my g3.
I feel like this accessory can alleviate many storage hungry users, myself included. Rumors that they could be getting rid of the removable battery is a huge downside for me as I've purchased Samsung's OEM battery charger for the past two generations of the Note line. It's just way too nice to go from 0% to 100% instantly.

I would love to carry that around with me at all time. Problem solved. I'm sold.
I'm honestly done with Samsung. I upgraded to a Galaxy Note 4 from a Nexus 5, and I miss my Nexus 5. The stock rom on the Note 4 is crap, and the only AOSP I've tried (CM12.1) is missing features that stock Nexus 5 and Nexus 6 Android has (namely, HD Voice, WiFi calling, and call recording.)
The worst part of all is that I'm stuck with a faulty USB port that doesn't charge reliably, and Samsung refuses to fix it because I rooted my phone. Meanwhile, Google doesn't care if you root your phone.
**** Samsung, never buying another Samsung phone again.
As much as the stylus is somewhat useful to me... I can do without it. SD card and removable battery=no deal. I'll grab the G4 or Gwhatever is next. Screw this bullsh!t...

If it didn't have the glass back, I would upgrade.
It looks like either wait for the Note 6, or get an iPhone 6+. Yes, yes, I know. But I've used a few of them and they are really nice phones. But if the Note 5 is what the article says, then no - I will not upgrade to it.
Glass back. Stupid.

Nope, not carrying around attachments with me to access storage. Its a money grab from Samsung now. MSD cards are now coming out in 200gb and 512gb sizes. Before we know it 128gb cards will be hitting $40 (they're already as low as $80). You mean to tell me you would rather pay more for a set amount of storage determined by a manufacture and streaming cloud services? Wake up!
S6 sales aren't panning out as expected and Samsung has been miss firing since the S5 flopped and with the S6 series they keep on flooding the market with variation after variation. At some point Samsung will have to self-center and get back to what made them a hit in the first place.
Even though the 128gb isn't confirmed I feel like it would be jumping the gun so to speak if I ordered the 64gb this early.
I have a 64gb card that's almost full and my internal 32gb at 18gb, it would be nice to get all that stuff on the 5 without having to pick and choose to what to put on.
Thoughts?

I have a hard time believing Samsung would build 128gb S6s but not a 128gb Note 5.
It does exist, it was listed in the website, and it had its own product code. They just don't want to release it now for some reason. I'm getting a 64gb now and will probably use my remaining Jump upgrade to get a silver 128gb if it becomes available later.

Yea. I usually download movies which take up the most space obviously but move them to my external hard drive. To be honest this has made me start looking at cloud storage which is not at bad as I thought. $9.99 for 1 TB a month. Not too bad. I really think in 3 years or less no phone will offer a micro SD. However, the lack of a 128gb phone is unacceptable but forgivable...this time. I am also stoked for the gear s2. Looks promising. Just hoping it comes with Samsung pay.

I doubt there will be one- at least not this year. Samsung is not going to see much business for a $1,000 device, but will for the 32GB and 64GB (which is high enough price). Apple gets away with it due to their ecosystem, but Android people can go to other devices and not lose their apps invested in, plus no iTunes or any other accessory purchased. Even if Samsung wanted to carriers would have to carry it which is even less likely. Soon the iPhone blitz will be hitting and carriers will focus resources on that. ironically rumors are floating of a 256GB model, but I would believe that when see it. Seems that will happen next year, or the next iPad release.

Samsung strategy: Announce and release the Note 5 before iPhone 6s Announcement. Announce the 128gb Note5 / S6 edge+ on September 9th (same time as iPhone 6s announcement) Release September 14th (a week prior to iPhone 6s release date). I am waiting for the 128gb version but this is rather silly strategy to me. They did say there will be no 128GB so the early adopters would jump the gone on lower priced variations before selling the $900 128gb variation.

I hear you on on that. It just sucks that we as consumers can see how silly Samsung's approach is to potential buyers who really need that 128gb on board memory (non of that 100gb cloud storage for 2 years shenanigans)
Is the otg card reader not viable for any of you?
I personally got the 128gb s6 edge (original not the new plus) because I don't trust memory cards and the internal storage is faster. But since you all miss the memory card from the note 4 and note 3 why not get the otg.

Is it possible to store games' data in the external storage and then connect it to the phone using an OTG cable? Or the Data must be stored in the internal storage?
Also waiting for the 128gb option. I'm passed off, why put the 128gb option on the SGS6 and not the Larger device with the S-Pen???? It's dumb. Samsung blew this, I didn't care about the lack of SD card because I assumed the Note 5 would have 128gb option. I guess don't assume anything. I bought the SGS6 with 128gb of internal storage, love the phone. Have it set up Stock with Nova Launcher and icon paks. Getting all day battery out of mine. Love it.

Hey guys.. recently I sold my Oneplus Two after using it for 1 year and bought new LG G4. But I bought it thinking I can enjoy entirely new things. But unfortunately I lost my enthusiasm. I didn't love the phone for many reason. 1. Battery life is very low. 2. No unlock bootloader. 3. No root for Marshmallow. 4. Phone heats up very quick. And many cons too. Now I'm planning to downgrade to phone with good specs and not too high end. So I thought of choosing Nexus 6. What do you guys think ? Is it a right choice to buy used one with 203 dollar ? ...

We can't answer that. Only you can. Nexus like you said yourself is considered old, however many of us would not consider the phones out now a considerable upgrade.

sure it does.. just not via sdcard.
I don't know about you, but in the OP's situation I wouldn't want to have to play around with a dongle sitting in my USB port simply to increase my storage space. Using a USB OTG device is inconvenient except in certain use cases, such as at home backing up a device with TWRP. USB OTG may be expandable storage, but it's simply not optimal. Thus the OP still needs to ask himself whether 32GB is enough.
I don't think 32GB is enough, not without being ruthless in your space management. I know you'll probably disagree, but I'm willing to lay odds that as an owner of a 32GB model you're pretty ruthless in your space management. Owners of 64GB devices have the luxury of not having to be so ruthless, and I really think it adds to the enjoyment of the device.

I don't use otg, but it is an option in expandable storage.. you said there aren't any options. I have a 32gb n6. I bought it in nov, 2014. anyways, 32gb is more than enough for me. and I mod my device, nearly daily. and have 2 3.5gb+ nandroid back ups in my storage. before n6, I always had 16gb. now 32gb is spacious for me. also, I'm an amateur photographer that only uses the n6 for photography. what I don't do is keep music on my device, that's what seems to save me. I use google play music services, and I always have that to use. when I take a subway home from work, I'll download several albums to listen to, beforehand. BTW, on tmobile, unlimited high speed data, in NYC
I forgot about USB OTG as an option. I stand corrected on that.
Like I said, you're ruthless in your space management, where I don't have to be. That however doesn't mean I'm not. If I were to put my stuff on your device, it would all fit with about a gigabyte left. Having used devices with far less storage, space management became an art form with me. But on this device, not worrying about how much space I'm using is liberating, and it's that liberating feeling that makes using this device more enjoyable.

ruthless, I'd never say that in this case. over time, I do end up deleting a lot though.
Had the G4 last year. Decided to sell it after a few months due to the subpar battery life. I do miss the camera and brighter screen, however, I prefer the N6 for the bigger screen, much better battery life, wireless charging and Project Fi. $200 for a used N6 is still a good price.

Of course you could shunt what you delete to cloud storage. But the fact you have to pick and choose what to keep on your phone only proves correct what some sites, for example Android Authority, are saying now about devices with 32GB storage: it's really too small these days, so the OP really needs to think this through. Currently Swappa has 64GB models for a low of $280. $200 is an excellent deal for a 32GB device, depending on condition. But is the price worth the potential inconvenience the smaller amount of storage may impose?

It's always a good idea to buy a Note 4, provided that you absolutely need the Spen. If you don't, then maybe you should look for something else.
But if you intend to use the Spen extensively, then Note 4 looks even better than the Note 5. For a relatively affordable price, you get replaceable battery, memory slot and you can install a Note 5 rom, making it absolutely the same in the software sector. The Note 5 has a much more capable hardware on paper, but probably you won't notice that in everyday use and in most situtations.
The deciding factor is the Spen. Do you need it? If yes, get it. If you don't, look for something else.

The Note 5 has a much more capable hardware on paper, but probably you won't notice that in everyday use and in most situtations.
The deciding factor is the Spen. Do you need it? If yes, get it. If you don't, look for something else.

thanks guys,
I am little confused with note4 and moto x style...I was using note 2 and not 3 before then I shifted to one plus 2.
I thougt without sd card I will be able to manage but I guess its quite difficult thats why I want to buy a phone with sd card. Moto x style is good one with lowr price also but its not having OIS and camera is not so good in low light conditions.
How is note 4 camera. Do you guys recommend to buy note 4?
Note 4 is the best phone I have ever owned it's still competing with today's flagship especially with root and unlocked bootloader the battery is amazing camera is high quality and I have never ran out of space with a 128gb SD card and 32gb on board memory I would suggest if you get the note 4 get the snapdragon variant. But like other have said if you don't use the spen you can get a on paper better phone with the same price range, but that note 4 amoled screen is very hard to compare to.

Well, without spen also I am not able to find any phone within same price range which is as good as note 4.
Note 4 screen --resoultion + size
removable battery,
sd card
infra red
3 GB ram
CAMERA (OIS + 16MB)
I am looking for good screen (5.5 to 5.7) 3GB RAM, good camera,sd card support.
Do you know any phone better than note4 in above features.
Post no. #4 is the kind of post why i get angry for the sheer stupidity!
Note 4 at 30k is still the best phone out there, end of story. One Plus 2 nice, but only the camera is better. I myself was confused between X Style and Note 4, ended up with the latter, glad I did. Motorola would win in terms of software only, that's it. For Note 4 you only compromise with the software, TW (it's not that bad anyway), and get quite a lot of other this which other phones can't even dream about providing.
Go for it.

You won't find a more full featured phone in that price range that will compare with a note 4, and the spen is just a topping on the cake that makes it that much more useful. There are a bunch of amazing Roms that ported the note 5 features and cleaned up touchwiz to the point where it actually is a great Ui the only phone I would think of getting instead of a note 4 is the new nexus.

You have mentioned nothing about the Spen. You also had Note 2 and 3, but it was easy for you to shift to OPT.
I think it's obvious that you do not have a great need for the most stand out feature of the Notes. In that case, you should probably go for another phone, there are so many good phones out there these days.

QHD screen

Only phone which came close was moto x style but its camera is not good at all. I like some new phones also Like Zuk ,LE Eco but they dont have sd card.
Moto g plus is good but it is having heating issue plus camera is not good.

Yaaa so? It may be garbage to you I respect what that device is going to offer as i said its my pov i can speak whatever i want. I didnt tell him to trust me i said google it. You can get even better devices. Note 4 surely is great one I myself use note 4 but after what sammy did with 6.0.1 i think note 4 users should use a ported rom to do justice with the hardware. So in comparison to that there are many devices. Htc one me camera just go and look at the camera of that device. Hence my point of view. If you didnt like it then talk respectfully.

Yah man I'm surprised you even mentioned the iPhone in that post that was pretty sad to bring up iPhone in a XDA forum. And I'm pretty sure the YU is a Indian company I'm not sure the band's will work here or at least have issues in the USA or Europe.

Hahaha yupp iPhone sucks i say it too but as i said to the other guy i gave him the choices on price range. And yes YU is an Indian company but I saw people around me using it and it is good enough i mean given the liberty to do anything with the device, few tweaks would make it a good one. And the model was different its going to launch in this week with flagship specs. So he can keep it to compare the models you know.

Don't go for note 4. I've been using for 1 and a half year and I regret it. I don't want to change to note 5 and wait for another year for note 6 or note 7 edge (whatever they want to call it).
P's. It's a Korean company and not an us, europe or whatever your country coming from.
To OP, just go to the shop and try both. Better to try yourself then asking other people.
I just picked up a used N901F for a ludicrously cheap price and I'm going to give it a week or so to see how it compares to my N9005 with daily use before I decide if I keep it or not. The biggest issue will be battery life as the Note 3 rocked in that department! I travel a lot so I need battery life and stability so I'm a little hesitant to go down the custom ROM route (didn't have too many issues with my HTC HD2 in that respect) so I've rooted it stuck TWRP and xposed on, installed most of my old apps and gsam battery monitor to keep an eye on what's going on with the battery.
This is my first time using MM - any apps/features you guys recommend either specifically on the Note 4 or even MM in general?
You can go for Note 4, eyes closed, great phone.
Seriously, that's a very funny post, Yu and other phones compared with Samsung, and that too a Galaxy Note phone. I live in India too, and I too do see ghatiya (rubbish) phones being used nowadays, LeEco, Lyf, Xioami etc., those could never be compared with a Samsung or brands like that at first place! Also just by seeing a phone, that too used by other people, you can't conclude a decision, let alone recommending it to someone!!! Weird!
Note4life only note 6 next!!!
N-910F
I'd honestly say that the Note 4 is a excellent device even by today's standards. I've seen some retailers sell it at a much lower price than when I purchased mine last year.
