      Samsung as Upset alot of Galaxy or Android phone uses by not Included One of the Best Selling Options that the iPhones never Offered,Nearly every Previous Samsung phone as Included the Micro Sd Card Slot,Just Because the Samsung Phone Creators had the iPhone 6 in there Minds and they had to do what Apple did remove the Micro Sd Card slot on the Galaxy S6,and this as Angered at of Galaxy and Android phone uses,we even saw on one Rumour that Sony would do the Same on the Z4 and not offer the Micro Sd Card Slot,are Samsung and Sony just Trying to iPhone users to there phones by Doing this?,even i have gone for the Note 4 instead of the Galaxy S6 so my 64gb Micro Sd Card can Play and Watch All the Music,Videos and Picture on it

        Funny as a Samsung customer I've NEVER been asked my opinion! So what users did they "study"? The 2 people passing by their HQ with an iPhone in their hand? The boss' secretary or another meaningless noob?

        ... and then these companies wonder why they never reach their "target". Tsssk tsssk.

        So... Perhaps we can amongst, the tech-savvy GSMArena readers, predict who's gonna get sacked at Samsung next year? The winner gets a Nokia 3310 :o)

Dude it is soon going to be RIP for Sony and they get back to their playstations and cameras. They are finished in the phone and tv segment. As for HTC , they are innovative but not market dominating material from any angle whatsoever.

                  The problem is even if they release another option, then that will be a niche product compared to the original and thereby making availability scarce.

They sound desperate to me: oh no, we're loosing ... moreI do agree with you re iphone users , high end android phones are for people that want more than just a fashion accessory. I do think samsung has also screwed up by having a fixed battery as well , a lot of phones are handed down now and after 24 months of use smartphone batteries are shot and until now you could just buy another one and you are good to go again. My daughter has just bought an iphone 5 second hand even though I warned her it will have a poor battery life ....which it does! Fixed memory and battery are the wrong way to go for all phone makers

                              that they did yet only for the active version so instead of compromising for looks they can use a little more space with the rugged design to fit it into the design

                                Too bad the design on the active series sux!
                                Keep it up sammy! This way, Sony and HTC will sweep the floor with you! - which i enjoy so, so much! :P
                                Just admit it guys, sammy is turning into iphone. Which we all know its just a shiny, facy phone for facebookholics and selfie addict girls!
                                No thx, i want a serious device, not just something that looks good, but lacks the backbone (sd & waterptoof).
                                P.S. Im not a fan of anything, so spare the rude comments, just cos u are a sammy addict! Go to rehab 4 that..

                                    Ugly, apparently an AT&T exclusive, no thanks.

                                    BTW, the reddit thread actually quotes the Samsung executive as saying that they went nonremovable battery, no micro SD in order to make it more like Apple.

                                    They're not even trying any more.

                                      In my opinion (just to say it like that) Samsung, will absolutely have to re incorporate those 3 features!!!!!! The removable battery! The water resistant, as well. And mostly, the SD card slot! !!!!!! for example, I'm gonna take my own self in reference. I will not gonna buy the S6 Edge! Because of those 3 missing features/specs! Mostly for the lack of SD Card!!!!!! And removable battery quite too! and instead, I'm gonna wait for the LG G4!!!! (Obviously, hope that LG will not gonna make Samsung's same mistakes!!!? Hehe )

                                        "If you don't like it then get a life" - when you work for a network provider 24/7 and people want m-sd slots from their flagship £££££ phones they could have easily found a way to implement one or a compromise.
