    I am so disappointed with the "new design language" that Samsung has adopted. What I see here is a lack of innovation and drive for originality that Samsung has been said to pioneer in the past. For the 1st time in a long time I am considering going back to LG or Sony. In my opinion those are the most original designs in the Market *on a side note, I thought the HTC renders with the home key were fantastic. Maybe HTC should adopt them for their next flagship*. Of course the phone may well be the best phone ever released in all other aspects, I might even go for the Note 4 Edge. Though I have gripes about the lack of a high IP rating on that 1. Wait...the S6 in NOT water and dust resistant? I know the argument LG gave for the G3 but what's Samsung reason if it,s not?

Do you know how long it takes to download my music from the cloud? Also 32gb storage is pathetic as the screen and camera resolutions rise.. I used screen record on my nexus 5 in 1080p mode... Phone memory fills very fast so just imagine that with 2160p recording. Sammy really are crap now!

                    No waterproofing, no removable battery and no micro Sd... Why would anyone choose this over the upcoming xperia Z4? Sammy have just killed the practicality of their flagship... If I had a s5/s4 then I wouldn't get the s6..not everybody wants cloud storage.

                      Anonymous, 01 Mar 2015Don't understand why miss SD card, They are offering you ... moreWell yes, 128GB is fine as long as the price difference between a 32 GB and 128GB model is the same as the cost of a 128GB microsd. Going by iphone pricing, dont really think that will happen:-)

                      Also, its just more convenient to have an external card to move between phone, laptop, external backups, and whatnot.

                            An expandable memory is more logical than relying on cloud. You'd need relevant speedy service to access anything, at anytime. I happen to have 200GB and unlimited data- well, imagine the frustration because data speed is throttled down, and takes more power in the first place than simply having stirred media at hand.

                                Cloud has NOTHING to do with physical storage. One is for backup, the other is for real-time usage.

                                    i came to realize removable battery and Micro SD card are no longer relevant, there is plenty of cloud storage these days and samsung have just introduce 1TB storage, SD card is no longer needed, i have a Galaxy note 3, and i have three extra batteries, but ever since i bought a power bank, life have been so much easier, i think this will be the direction toward all flagship,

                                      these samsung guys are so poor. they are nakedly copying Apple. I am neither a fan of Apple or Samsung. but its quite disgusting to watch giants companies copying each other....... doesnt make sense to me.
