    Ok here goes hot off the press
    Just had dinner with a senior Samsung person in the mobile software division.
    They are looking at bringing back the sd card
    And even a removable battery

      If they decided to go without the removable Battery and SD Card again
      I'm going to drop Samsung in favor of LG

        If they dont feel like put there enough memory/...slot, why they produce those sd's? They even could made slot for their own new mem chips, they didnt...

                  Alex, 18 Sep 2015Agree completely. I despise sd cards. Yes I too despite having less options and forking over more money for more storage.

                    Who cares? How is this a leak or even new? It's not like they are the first, oneplus used it, Sony uses it. Here's another leak, samsung will use glass on their display with the galaxy s7 omg!

                        Sure samsung, just remember to include:
                        1. micro sd slot
                        2. Removable battery
                        3. Bigger battery capacity

                              This reminds me of the Ericsson T28 it was also made of magnesium (was also thin and light)

                                    if really wanna tough phone, use titanium. if that not cost effective, use polycarbonate. what is wrong with this world now. chasing premium feel, etc. this samsung, Chinese manufacturer etc, do they really not learn red ocean, purple beach, blue ocean business strategy?

                                      Can manage without the SD card but please please please put a good hefty battery in it and also get rid of the camera bump.
                                      A thicker phone will make room for both of these.
                                      Taking the whole phone to the same depth as the camera would be what I want but time will tell.
