samsung fail in dominating the market,
and my point here why other people try to buy other phone products.

nokia fail
blackberry fail

it is not the hardware >>>>>> it is software operating system that could easily
hacked throw its long life use.

just look to the operating system for each machine you buy.

why people buy HTC?
why people buy LG?
why still people buy Huwawi?
and at last why people stay using iphone for more than 3 years as an old device ?
why people try to wait for next generation and always they sell android phone for
low prices?

in dubai, resale price for iphone is raised just because you sell iphone
and on the otherhand samsung resale price is very low

while other brands you can't sell them and market refuse to buy old phone,
there is no resale market for other brand!
samsung every 2 months create a phone.

that mean your resale price is decreased too

Tcool, 26 Feb 2016Then you are lying when you said that most areas in Austral... moreThese arguments about LTE (and remote data storage) or SD card for local data storage, are not sound.

The usage pattern you present may suit your own needs, but it would not suit the majority.

I have excellent high speed LTE reception. At home.
When on the road, I go through many areas of no reception, and when I hit the edge of my local major city there is congested 4G, and in the mall, being the reason I would travel there, big pockets of 'no reception'.

Cloud storage wouldn't move the data to me quick enough, being limited by the providers upload speed.
And several terabytes of uncompressed music just isn't practical to move via the cloud in anticipation of needing it.

Having 160gb of local storage is very useful though, and, best yet... My videos and photos, if something goes wrong with my phone, being easily removed from the device, and saved- is excellent.


I am not sure why we are still having the SD card argument.
They suit some people. Some people swear they can't live without them.
Some people can live without them. They likely even bought a Note 5.

One opinion is just that - an opinion.
Real world usage as listed here by many indicates they feel a need for an SD card.

No amount of arguing with them telling them how wrong they are, or inferring they are not clever enough to use modern tech, is silly.

I too live in Australia, and have laughed a few times at people who reckon the gps on their phone (powered by an online connection to google maps) is good enough in rural locations.

Just as they get far enough from town to start needing their electronic map, reception of course will have gone the way of the dodo.

SD cards are cheap extra storage.
I listed a few days ago the pros and cons of not having an SD slot. (Yes there are pros)
It is unfortunate that the galaxy note 6 waiters have no other place to discuss the passion of their potential purchase.
That is okay, cause if you think about it, they are hanging out with a lot of loyal samsungers by being on this thread.
Maybe they think good things about Sammy and have had to wait it out a year cause their preferred flagship didn't hit their sweet spot last year.
Right now might be a serious time for consideration for them... Considering an S7 or waiting for a Note 6

I'm in the verge of buying the Note5 and 32GB is fine for me, I really wanted a truly multipurpose device, especially writing with the SPEN, currently I use to bring a pen and a small notebook, I am beginning to learn physics, math, etc... I graduated BSEE many years ago but now I'm inclined to mathematical physics and maths itself, I'm beginning to learn by myself especially that I always got rejected with my MS applications.

Tcool, 26 Feb 2016As I said you don't need a 4G phone if you don't have stabl... moreYou are the one who said you use Huawei Shot X as your Hotspot for the Note.5. You only may use 2 hours of screen on time over wifi and this is how you get "24 hours".

Anyone who use Android 5.0 and above all know that the battery projection is based on the user's habit. The less you use, the longer the projection. The more you use, the shorter the projection.

I still can use up to 8 GB of data within the day, 8 hours of screen on time usage, on two original batteries, or one double-capacity battery. Apparently, you're a light user. You have not given us anything on what's your screen on time usage. All because you hardly use it.

You bought a phone and you think you are somebody.. well you are not. It's only a phone and a not durable one. It looks like a shoe with this size xd

I have 64GB Note 5 and I have Gear VR, I downloaded lots of items from Oculus store and my phone still have lots of free storage space.

Don't conclude anything if you are not a non Note 5 user or it shows or ignorant side teacher!

TheNeighbor, 25 Feb 2016Or get the latest, S7 WITH the wonderful memory expansion. ... moreAs I said you don't need a 4G phone if you don't have stable signal in your area.
Go get a 3G Samsung Galaxy Core Prime. Why spend money on an expensive 4G phone when you cannot utilize it's LTE always on?

Otherwise cloud storage is still the best for 4G phone with stable LTE network signal.

By the way, no wonder you need extra battery, because always on LTE with poor network signal coverage will consume more battery juice. Especially the Note 3 with poor antenna reception.

Be consistent with your comment, good LTE or not?

With good LTE nobody needs SD card with cloud storage.
With bad LTE nobody needs a 4G LTE phone, stick with your 2G phone with expansion memory.

Or carrying your smart TV while walking in public and watching FHD TV series.
Common sense will tell you that the VR is only to be used inside the room just like your bed and pillow or your 80" FHD smart TV.
Where is your brain teacher?

So you mean to say it is another trick to give free VR for S7/S7 Edge?

By the way still haven't forgotten the microphone as IR blaster, wow genius idea. LOL!

1) Samsung had to cut 10% of staff and halve expenditure.
2) Samsung hasn't released sales figures since September or so (i.e. they are no good)
3) Samsung has done a U-turn and brought back the SD card and bigger batteries.

The S7 and GN6 with SD card (or 256GB internal) should help to turn things around.
