      Sheikha, 28 Nov 2015I am in Pakistan, should I go for SM N920I or SM920C? Also ... morei am a note user too since galaxy note, lack of microsd card, IMO, is not really a big issue for me, although, i agree to the fact that having a microsd is a big advantage, but there is always a workaround on this. Android is used to have workaround always. GN5's battery life is at its best, quick/fast charge is a big advantage, flawless response, best display, best camera, new functionalities on spen, and many more.. we can't always have a perfect phone for everyone since most of us are looking for those "extra features", i 've been from nokia before, and my 3210 still lives up until now, it has no sd card, and no way i can add piece of hardware, but i am satisfied, not because of the phone, but because of its functionalities. we tend to look for features, but we forgot why they are built for, not for showoff, but, to make our families and loved ones at our reach. "MicroSd?", nah, not a big deal, as i always have my dual port flash drive with me, in which i can just connect with my phone, and store all the medias there. for you Sheikha, i suggest try a hands on first on the GN5, and see, check and verify for yourselves.. Cause the phone that you will be having should be the phone you really like, and that phone will satisfy your needs, don't get a phone that is just advised to you or recommended to you by just some people who really doesn't know what you need. so, good luck to whatever your decision would be, and be happy for your new phone. ;)

            I've been trying my Note 5 for 11 days the battery lasts only for 5.20 hours screen on time with 45 % of screen brightness I don't know if that's good or not

              AnonD-77443, 28 Nov 2015I left iPhones for Samsung 5 years ago because there were a... moreThis is some weird experiment Samsung is doing, to see what's and who's sticking. I mean they've even stopped selling this crap in Europe. Dubai also only has 32GB, and that's like the shopping capital of consumerism!

              Samsung knows they are slumping in sales of this from the start. It's purposely sabotaging their market. To see how many iPhone users and underpowered users will get this half-baked thing?

              Even the color choices has been limited to only two colors in most markets. It doesn't make sense at all. They could sell 64GB versions of their S6 Edge Plus, but not for the Note.5 in my region? Just because the S6 Edge (normal) was more popular, and so they thought the Plus will sells as good? Damn silly, as the Plus doesn't even have the useful infrared remote controller function.

              Samsung failed miserably in getting iPhone users to switch - they don't understand that they can't leave their collected paid apps and love of limited functionality of just calls/text/surfing/selfless. They just can't be convinced with "fast wireless charging", nor with just 32GB. They love carrying their powerbanks. They love plugging in to power outlets every 4 hours. They love to hear that the latest processor is ALWAYS 20% much faster than the previous model every 6 months.

              But with the Galaxy Note.5, it's:
              *We've made the back much more fragile with glass as most will interpret it as "premium".
              *We took out that pesky expandable memory because we replaced the internal memory with something that doesn't run compatible with it.
              *We give you fast charging/fast wireless charging to run the sealed battery to die faster so you'd buy the latest Galaxy by next year for sure.
              *We took out those useful features like infrared for no reason.

                      my self note 5 wasted,i just bought not even one month,Sim card error and i send to servicing center,they change my motherboard and gave me,still no use,mobile very hot always,at least if external memory card slot can save data.
                      note 5 internal memory if any problem always need factory reset and with out back up cant do anything,either storage another disk.
                      my self for me not supportable.

                        TheNeighbor, 28 Nov 2015Exactly - you don't download movies. You carry your laptop ... moreYour right, everyone has different needs and uses in a mobile phone. Limiting a lot of markets to just 32GB is a really bad move by Samsung.

                        I know people who ONLY use smart phones to call, message and maybe social media. On the other hand, I have 50-60GB of topo maps, loads of songs, movies, TV shows, photos and work files (I'm currently using 150GB of 192GB). Smart phones are meant to be the ultimate, all in one device... limiting the storage to 32GB isn't something you expect from a "premium" phone.

                          AnonD-471267, 28 Nov 2015I dont know how u use ur storage, but for me 26gb is more t... moreExactly - you don't download movies. You carry your laptop with its 1TB everyday. I have a laptop - it has a 256GB SSD, and 1 TB of HDD. I don't carry that daily. I even carry a 10" Surface but I only put in a 64GB card for immediate files, and I don't carry that daily either.

                          What I carry daily is my Galaxy Note - it has an extra 120GB of user space for work and entertainment composed of music + audio books (14GB), PDF books (37GB+), and video (50GB+). I download full HD movies that take 2 to 4 GB per movie. TV episodes can take 300 to 500 + MB. I can probably say I can download some 2GB daily. This is because I'm making use of my unlimited data service to its maximum.

                          Is it strange that I use my Galaxy Note 3 this way? - there is already 256GB SD card out, and it will not be strange that 256GB microSD cards will be out by next year. Yes, I can use it like a laptop. 26GB of user space is pathetic after getting use to 147GB of total storage space to play around.
