    Usb tranfer is much, much quicker than wifi... so yes simpler, faster, more reliable

    You could also use wifi direct to transfer wirelessly directly to comp hardrive...
    Smart people do not prefer that method as it laaaasts...

    But apple users dont have usb otg capability so, they probably cant comprehend usb transfering is so much better, faster, reliable...

    That guy even calls wifi direct Airdrop or sth, DLNA is Airplay to him, NFC is iPay....
    There are no other definitions for him other than apple named them....
    so he actually does not have a clue that same exists on android as it is named differently, as by World IT standards....

    Therefore, brainwashed....

    Does he, or you for that fact, know what miracast, or mhl, or wifi tethering is?

      Seriously, sexism? :-D
      If you are offended by my opinion of it being feminin design you should first check your closet, I dunno...

      It is all glossy, shiny, with ugly cam on the back
      ...yea, you could call it unisex, I call it feminine...
      Taste is not to be discussed, one once said

                  Press the power button for 15secs and the equipment will restart with ease.
                  Other solution is simply pressing Volume UP (or down depending of the equipment) for around 8/10 secds and the equipment will shutdown (without restart).
                  Before saying stuff you clearly dont know at least search a bit before saying anything.

                      The back button is still on the wrong side. I've had iphones sony phones HTC phones LG phones. I'm using S3 mini while I wait for my iphone 6 to arrive. And I just don't like having the back button on that side. Not a fan of touch wiz either. Apart from that the edge looks like a good device.

                      I am no apple fanboy or android fanboy, I change my devices all the time before anyone claims for me to be an apple fanboy for getting the iphone 6.

                        Guys... if suddenly your S6 hangs, or a bug that had problems on the os. Or freezes, normally we remove the battery to restart it... what happens if you can't remove your battery? Then, wait for ur S6 to use up the battery.. maybe 1-2 days? This is crazy.. i asked that question to an iphone user. He said, simple- just connect it to iTunes. I said, what if you don't have ur computer with u and hangs? Can u use other people's iTunes? He said no. That sucks.. better wait for battery to drain then... sucks to be an iphone clone..

                                    If there was still only one iPhone, only a cheap variant, or was still just a 4 inch qHD device do you really think it would have sold anywhere close to what the advancement has brought?

                                      The phone is pretty nice. No SD card slot a disappointed, but hey they release new u2+ nand as fast as SSD.SD card on android only FAT32, big lack for 64bit use. Samsung want user experience this round.Hope they also release 256Gb model with minimal cost. Another disappoint is no battery swap.But hey , Samsung made it RAPID charge 10min can last 2hr screen full HD movies or 4hrs usage. Who say they fail to think?

So no microsd card slot wouldnt be that much problem imo. usb otg would be very helpful and cheap as well. Less than $15 here in my country for the 32gb model. My note 4 had 32gb internal,& I had 16gb microsd as well as 16gb usb otg. To be honest if I need more storage, I'd rather buy an usb otg than microsd. More functional & easy to transfer files. If my note 4 dont have any microsd slot, I could easily grab a 32gb usb otg & that would be fine for me.
