    LOL, 5 ot 50 doesn't matter - won't magically make bluetooth headphones less inconvenient and less impractical.
    Lack of 3.5mm jack - mockery with customers.

          This is for the people that hates Samsung, let me also bring light to the topic that what are the parts made by apple in their iPhones, its just their ios software only otherwise all other parts like of hardware are from different manufacturers and one of the biggest contributor in it is Samsung.

          All of you can check the link above and you will be able to know that without samsung apple could not build its processor and neither can use well equipped RAM and many other hardware parts.

                  Some people wants to say that Samsung will copy the iphone 7 no headphone jack, for those people let me bring some light that iPhone wasn't the first to remove the headphone jack. Phones like Lenovo's Moto Z and Moto Z Force and China's LeEco have already scrapped the 3.5mm headphone jack so should i say that iPhone copied the removal of headphone jack from these companies, and there people comes saying that Apple removed the headphone jack first and now everyone is copying it.

                    As someone who uses both apple and samsung devices, all i can say is that the smooth ui of ios is just a myth it stutters staggers and restarts all the time, only thing is most of the reboots are too fast for the average user to notice. They also cannot handle 128gb well... Not saying samsung is the best but the edge does call for more looks and peeks from friends than an iphone

                      I have given up on Samsung and moved to LG, specifically their V20. All the stuff Samsung are ditching are still in LG (hopefully indefinitely), replaceable battery, IR, extensible storage, and even physical FM radio!

                                The uni-body designs are more for water-resistance design.
                                Well I know GS 5 was water-resistant even with removable battery, but still not users secure.
                                I still prefer removable batteries, with less water-resistance rate, though.
                                Samsung High End phones even with SD support, are not slower than iPhones. Except of loading games optimized for iOS(and only ported to Android). In all basic apps and other apps, iPhone is mostly slower.
                                This trick was used by iBiff-Buff tests to make sequence of apps with many games loading, to cheat you, that iPhone is faster. LOL

                                  It would be so wrong if Samsung didn't adopt Bluetooth 5.0. Can't wait for the Galaxy S8
