    I've had enough of sammy... They do what they want despite actual consumer needs. By time they decide to do something exciting, Apple has already perfected it! This is my last note device unless they release google play edition which probably won't happen anyway!

    Peace sammy

          Because it is so important to support an accessory that can be replaced with some cardboard and a couple of lenses. Get the update out already Samsung, it is getting really annoying to be promised an update that never comes!

                  Cmonnnn sammy!! Give the update to s5 n note 4 quick so that my note3 can atleast hope of getting it once the flagships are done.
                  Im so tired n disappointed of waiting while every other company has given 5.0 for their phones :(

                    Apparently gsmarena doesn't think that VR is a very big deal. Kinda surprising. I don't think Facebook would have bought Oculus for two billion dollar if VR is a niche product with a miniscule market, would they? And I don't think the guys at gsma have watched reaction videos of the people who tried VR nor have they realized the advancement and potentials of VR. VR is amazing, it's the next generation of gaming, simulations and much much more! VR is the future, baby. :)

                      This greedy samsung company will never improve. I got note 4 thinking its has some dignity, but not anymore. They shifted speaker on the bottom for S6. Also shipping Exynos 7420 (64-bit 14nm CPU). They should be discouraged in every possible way. No release of Android was ever perfect, so stop complaining on 5.0 bugs. Even Moto-X 2013 hasn't got lollipop where as Moto-G 2013 already has it. Guys just purchase mid range chinese phones atleast they give you what they promise for. I am fed up of these hope-less android updates and new games by every manufacturer. LG, HTC are far better in standards and fixing issues. SAM looted 58K for every Note 4 buyer in India and now they say GearVR in-comptabilities for Linux-3.10.40 on SD805 & Exynos5433 ??? What the hel*. Throw these garbage and invest your time and money in household needs.

                          I'm willing to wait until they get it right.

                                Yes, I agree - why make everyone wait. Well said, GSMArena!
