    N, 28 Jul 2016Right, sure you have "4 or more" 128 GB... :-) Oh look, Xiaomi will release its own VR headset on August 1.
    I laugh so hard to your rubbish comments against VR headset.
    For how long will you hold on to that pride of not using the VR headset?
    Aside from entertainment, it is being used in Health care, Space, Museums, Automotive manufacturing to inspect interior and exterior of the car, Education, Courtrooms seeing a crime scene in 3D, Meditation & Mental Health, Shopping tour to the entire store and even in Military training. Don't be ignorant!

      Anonymous, 30 Jul 2016Wrong. You use a microsd card reader via otg.MicroSD card reader via OTG or microUSB memory via OTG is better than the one that is embedded inside the plastic phone that needs to be switch off and do some acrobatic process every time you need to transfer the card to other phones. Such hassle!

          N, 28 Jul 2016Right, sure you have "4 or more" 128 GB... :-) Don't remove the word "can".
          I said "I can have..."
          "I can have" is different from "I have".
          I doubt you are a teacher/instructor.

            Samsung have new Gear VR Headset for Note 7.
            Really? Samsung still continue to produce VR headset contrary to all the silly things you are saying about the VR headset. Come on alleged teacher, even other brands have their own versions of VR headset.
            LOOSER!

                N, 28 Jul 2016Wrong again. I have more space for storage in my ONE device... moreI can have four or more 128GB dual port micro USB/USB memory OTG and interchange them from phone to phone in seconds. Your 256GB microSD card will take minutes to transfer from one phone to another with all the acrobatic process of switching off the phone, taking out the battery to pull the card out, then inserting to another phone and put back the battery and switching it on again. Gosh! That is a thing of the past (Note 3 to be specific).

                  Anonymous, 28 Jul 2016Just like admitting that SD card is useless since dual port... moreWrong again. I have more space for storage in my ONE device.

                  I have 120+26 GB (microSD + internal) than just your mere 50+ GB from your internal memory. That's what's eating you up, isn't it?

                  Once 256 GB cards start selling, I'd have 240+26 GB of space, while I can transfer files via OTG or micro USB 3.0 WITHOUT having turn off my device. I'd still have the old Nearby Devices DNLA function, making my Note 3 like a wireless portable SSD. I can access all my media with my TV or tablets.

                  You'd be still stuck with some 50 GB on the Note.5 of internal space, juggling with OTGs in your pocket. Man.

                  :-)

                    They should've not made that if nobody will buy it because of your rubbish testament about VR headset. Some brain please...

                        Micro USB 3.0 on the Note 3 is TEN TIMES faster than micro USB 2.0 on the Note.5.

                          They should've made your so called "AR" instead. LOL!

                              How come Samsung produce another version of VR headset after all the silly things you said about VR headset?
                              How come other brands such as HTC, LG, Alcatel and others followed making VR headset after all the rubbish things you said about it?
                              You are really hypocrite!
                              The fact that Samsung keeps on making VR headsets, and other brands as well, just means that you are lying and all the things you said are not true!

                                    Anonymous, 27 Jul 2016You get over it! Once your micro SD card got corrupted, bye... moreYou haven't heard the news - UFS cards will be compatible with the Note7. Up to 256GB capacity, even with microSD compatible. The mere fact that Samsung put back the microSD card slot starting with the S7 series gave them better profit margins for their mobile division.

                                    One in a million? I laugh at that because it did not matter, how come Samsung gave back the memory slot? When your precious Note.5 came out, and S6 was being sold in November last year, there was a poll survey from 2533 people - 60% used 32/64GB, and less than 15% said they never use a memory card.

                                    And here you are telling us "one in a million" people don't use memory expansion.
