I would have liked to see samsung build on their note 4 design, which was beautiful and unique to the note series. It wasn't resembling any other phone i think.

Where is the copycat? There is at least 3, 4 years that Samsung doesn't copie or get inspiration in Apple, but, what are you talking about, what hell of talking is that?

Note 5 is a true flagship with many features and great specs and there it isn't only the 32GB version there it is also the 64GB version. And LG Oled TV's aren't better or superior to Oled Samsung TV's.

                          Removable battery and microsd card slot are very good options but those options may affect the choice of materials. Adding a microsd slot isn't a problem but for a removable battery the phone needs a plastic back which for most people makes the phone "cheap".
                          I appreciate the design of lg v10 and i wish samsung go that way for their future smartphones.
                          If samsung could make a moke with removable metal back,big battery (3200mah,doesn't need to be slim) and a microsd slot and a stock android version of s7 that'd be great.

                            too bad Samsung Mobile is just one of the options among thousands of either comparable or better handsets made by long time seasoned brands and up and coming new brands. I can probably give them until 2020 when they become buried by other brands.

If samsung makes removable battery and SD card phones then sammy will be back and rocking again. But considering current technology where iCrap and other chinese brands are leading the mobile trend, it seems somewhat impossible for sammy to bring back the golden days of note 3 and note edge.

                                      Don't care who the new chief is. Just give us back the IR blaster, large capacity removable battery, 128gb internal storage, MicroSd support and your phone is a winner.

                                        Bring back the microSD card and removable battery, please. It's just silly that we have to be contented with only 32 GB version in most countries. Silly move. No wonder sales are low.
