      Ethan, 22 Jul 2015Nobody writes anything about that camera BUMP on the back? ... moreRelax.
      If not removeable, battery is at least 50% larger. Also, speed will be very fast.... very without external memory.

        Ethan, 22 Jul 2015Nobody writes anything about that camera BUMP on the back? ... moreIt was written about on the S6, until it was released and everyone found out the "bump" produced the best smartphone photos ever. So, the bump is worth it to just about everyone. As far as SD support: that still remains to be seen.

            Yet another sam-e-sung which will be sent to warehouses worldwide and most of the stock will stay there. People tend to have more and more knowledge and common sense these days and not buing sha-me-less Sam-e-sung phones with 1 year old OS which will only be supported for another year maybe 1,5 when it comes to updates.

                  WTF?!

                  + I could live with no removable battery, but NO SD card? WTF #2?

                  + The colors are the same as HTC M9's, I just hope it's made of metal like what HTC are doing.

                  Well other than that it's exactly the same as the Note 4 - Copy & Paste, then badge it "Note 5" and sell it as an upgrade! WTF #3?!

                    I think led flash must be downside of the camera then look awesome.

                        I hate that the internet is taking all of these rumors as fact. This render is old, and as I read on another site has been on the case company's site for months. That pretty much tells me that's a place holder image.

                        Secondly. I don't believe that we will get a glass back on the Note series. People are just assuming that since they are releasing the S6+ at the same time that they will be twins. I don't think so. The Note has been trying to separate itself from the S series since the Note 3. And even though it releases around the same time as the IPhone it generally competes against other Android Phablet. That said I'm expecting the faux leather to be ditched for ginuine leather. However the addition of wireless charging and Samsung's new internal memory guarantee no SD and No Swappable battery.

                        Which is fine because who really carries 60gb of media these days? What are people doing downloading bluerays on their phones? Not to mention Google has been pushing Android away from SD cards for the past 2 years. In a year or 2 the OS probably won't even support them anymore.

                            I think they should upgrade the camera...

                                  This is smart.
                                  1. Curved back means this phone is confortable to hold.
                                  2. They can use the metal frame for the edged variant, by make the curved back The edged display. So note 5 edge will have flat back and different button placement.

                                    If it does not have expandable memory & removable battery.....keep it 128gb internal and 5000mah battery..it will be another deal breaker....
