              As long as Apple is not having removable batteries and a sd card slot, you will never ever see those features ever again. R.i.p Samsung. Forever they reached their peak at the Galaxy s4 and note 4, deciding to make their phones look like Apple iPhones will be what kills them in the end.

                  Any news about Samsung or iPhone will be full with hate and love comments. Maybe it's time for the administrator of this site to filter this out.

                            Magnesium alloy - check.

                            SD820 - check.

                            Now all Samsung has to wait for is Apple iPhone 7's design leak & they're good to Go with manufacturing S7.

                                The amoled screens have consistently tested to be the best. I can't see removable batteries coming back but hopefully common sense prevailes and they increase the battery size and bring back an SD card. Samsung is losing a lot of long term fans with their latest devices.

                                  But if u want to keep your device as long as possible, then you should never choose amoled.
