The new standard promises four times bigger range and twice times the speed of Bluetooth 4.0.

Please add hybrid UFS/MicroSD card slot & it would be the perfect smartphone of 2017!

    There are reasons to those first two, people wanted premium design, which is why most manufacturers nowadays with flagships make uni-body designs, the mircro sd slot was removed because on android it affects performance, the note 5 can keep up with iphone 7 in speedtests

          Why 5.0? Because there will be no headphone jack!

            they copy the worst things from apple's limited and conformist's stuff. First no battery user-replaceale, then no microsd (see S6), then again no 3,5mm jack which I found very useful. Think with your own (and customer's) mind!

              That'd be nice.

                Hi
                Removed 3.5mm jack headphones! In GS8!! Now this is very reasonable & logical!
                Because Bluetooth v5.0 :-/

                    Well the front button has always been symbolic for Samsung Galaxies and I personally won't like it if Samsung decides to remove the button and capacitive keys below the screen.

                                Samsung is the leader in innovative technology. The rest including iPhone will adopt 5.0 Bluetooth soon.
