The point is, how will the price compare with moto G 2nd generation. Because that too has almost same specs, but for a lesser battery. The extra price above moto G should be justified by looks and features.

    I hope this announcement of a non-removable battery is false. Its b******t when people expect metal body with a removable battery. I have no problems with the plastic on the Note 3 as it allows me to restart phone when Android hangs. Samsung should now focus on its UI design which definitely needs a beauty touch-up.

      Such late news as always from GSM. I knew about this 5 hours ago lol! Makes me wonder who they're sources are. But anyways guess changing to metal makes the battery non removable it seems now. Was the sacrifice worth it? No

            It is a mid range Snapdragon 400 device with a 720p 5" screen. The 2330mAh battery will be more than ample.

                So basically, except for the camera, it ticks all the same boxes as the recently announced Lumia 830. It'll probably be priced lower and sell a ridiculous number more than the Lumia.

                      Here we go again, they used a Metal Chassis once -- the next things is, it'll be freaking EVERYWHERE!!

                      Just like how they started with the Effect on the S3 to S4 then it went everywhere. Followed by a Faux Leather to Perforated Leather and now it's going everywhere.

                      How can I enjoy using a Note 4 Edge if I can see the same design cues on the low end?

                        Cool. Specs seem pretty nice, might end up at a reasonable price.

                        Although the premium materials will drive up the cost.
