aceofgenerations, 19 Sep 2015But the magnesium alloy is much better. Don't be blind fan... moreWhat are you on about? What does being a blind fanboy have to do with anything? I asked a question about whether the A series is plastic or not, and I get a useless response.

Why would you even be considering buying a flagship model if you consider yourself "poor"?
Poor people should be looking out for news on Nokias made with Indian market in mind.

AnonD-312515, 19 Sep 2015I guess it's safe to assume that it won't have microSD card... moreofcourse you're not poor. you are a rich boy. Now go ask your parents to buy you another expensive phone.

Again, if you don't like it, then don't buy it - there are alternatives. SIMPLE AS THAT.
Don't force people who like the phone to dislike it.

I guess it's safe to assume that it won't have microSD card support or a removable back to replace batteries with, sucks for poor people who are fans of both features.

AnonD-364786, 19 Sep 2015Correct decision considering apple is using magnesium ally ... moreNot quite. The new 6s lineup and the Note5/s6 edge+ both use 7000 series aluminium, whereas their previous lineups used 6000 series aluminium.

AWallis, 19 Sep 2015Agree. Touchwiz is a really ugly skin, it has no class at a... moreSadly.. samdung will keep using that laggy touchwiz forever. If you dont like lagwiz, then dont buy samsung's android devices forever.
Does tizen use lagwiz too ?

AnonD-364786, 19 Sep 2015Correct decision considering apple is using magnesium ally ... moreActually the 6s is Zinc infused Aluminum, the 6, 5, 5s are aluminum. And Samsung was first to use Zinc aluminum with the s6, s6edge and note 5. which all released before the 6S.

AnonD-123996, 19 Sep 2015If this comes with a removable back cover,removable battery... morehow many times have you had the need to change the battery for technical problems ?? in the last 15 years i have never seen a single new mobile phone with battery problems in the first 4 years of intensive use.

however watch out magnesium is a great explosive & combustible. it reacts with co2 to form magnesium oxide & carbon. it cant even be put off by fire extinguisher or water. thats why automakers dont use magnesium alloyed engine boxes despite their advantages.

If this comes with a removable back cover,removable battery and SD card hot swappable then i will think of it. Otherwise my note 3 and note edge are the last phones forever.

Magnesium oxidises and deteriorates really quickly. Although I have lot of Mag parts on my MTB, pedals, seat rails, bits on my disc brakes... so it is a good material whilst it is dry.
