Looks really nice but i wont be downgrading from my Note 4.

For me the phone and camera performance on the Note 4 is great and i don't want to lose a spare battery and 128GB SD card. Plus i think the GN4 will feel better with the grippy faux leather back. Just my opinion.

    Unless Samsung bring back the removable battery, there's no way am doing an upgrade, Note 4 would be my last

      AnonD-210641, 10 Aug 2015Agree, 4100 was also a rumor, if it's that large with quick... more2 more days, we'll see if it's worth it. I still think removable should be an option. Just an option for heavy usage.

          Anonymous, 10 Aug 2015Is that a slot/port in the top of the phone in the one picture?I believe so. That is most likely where the sim card will go and/or a duel sim port for an SD card but thats highly unlikely.

              Agree, 4100 was also a rumor, if it's that large with quick charge, a removable battery would not be necessary for me.

                Anonymous, 10 Aug 2015hi... i have note3 untill now, and i jump to note4 at the ... moreNote 4 was a good refinement of the Note 3, not a big leap though. I valued the Note 3's USB 3.0. Fast charging not so much as I keep swapping batteries - no reason why I should want something that shortens my batteries' lives.

                Now a brand new Note 4 is $300 cheaper. I think I'll buy it and a Zerolemon 10,000mAh battery. Ooh, that's be so much better than a Note 5.

                Note 5 does just looks better, a slightly better chipset, but losing memory expansion, changeable battery option, infrared, and slapping a glass at the back to make it more fragile are all nonsense! Is a step back from innovation and usability!

                          Because samsung is loosing ground to apple they seem to be trying to adopt the same business model of tell the customers what they want and not listen to what they want. This will never work like it does for apple as most high end samsung buyers aren't mindless sheep like apple customers and will switch brand if the offering isn't up to their standards.

                            can the leaks not get more info regarding the battery capacity? i have heard 3000, 3200, 4000 mAh, i can live without the removable battery as long as the capacity is good, i have s6 edge and as pretty and slick as this phone is, the battery life SUCKS, its by far the worst samsung battery yet in the S series, the note has potential but seriously hope that it has the juice to last a day with moderate to heavy usage and i will go back to the note, loved my note 3 btw and was tempted bt 4 but felt a little to small of an upgrade but 3 to 5 might be worth a punt

                                    Spike you should use a proper grammar.

                                      Any1 remember Samsung b4 they bcam no1 in the market? They would pack the latest and greatest. Now they r doing the same mistake Nokia did it, lost the market rhen HTC and also lost the market! How stupid it is? Why didnt they include Type C usb? R they running out of ideas that they want to leave something for next generation along with bigger screen? Of coarse bigger battery is just a dream!!!
