Galaxy A8 Dual SIM version can take 128GB micro SD card, has 16/5 MP cameras, and a damn metal back. Just uploaded the only demo unit from the only store that has one.

So why can't micro SD cards be on a Note.5? They really want us carry storage like USB OTG dongles and wireless HDDs? Rely on cloud and have us pay for those services? Become renters than owners of devices we buy?

Impracticality over aesthetics that easily breaks?

    To put it simply Note 5 sucks big time and can be regarded as the worst phablet made by samsung since the development of Note 3. It's better for me to wait for Google Ara's modular phone, LG G4 Pro, Xiaomi Mi5 plus or Xperia Z5 ultra than to buy fancy garbage.

      Nothing special about this phone... ill stick to my note 4 until note 6 arrive...

        UFS 2.0 incompatible with a micro SD? Then why the heck can you use an OTG dongle?

            Is the note 5 under specked and hence a disaster at launch ????

            i think yes

            all who agree say aye.

              Anonymous, 22 Aug 2015Wait. Galaxy A8 have metal back? Are you serious?That's right, folks - A8 has a metal back that's more sturdy than the glass that shatters at the back of a Note.5.

              It even has the 16/5 MP cameras!

                  AnonD-389805, 22 Aug 2015Maybe you're happy to be a sheep taking whatever phone you'... moreOf course there are some complacent persons who would not mind paying for something that actually does less. Samsung really is capable in putting in a memory slot at least. Interestingly, there's a new A8 5.9mm thick (bling-bling alert!), and takes in up to 128GB micro SD card! Yes, a micro SD! Have a look:

                  http://flic.kr/p/xo59YT

                  Sure, it has only a 1080p 5.7", Snapdragon 615 processor. It's currently $560 and even have a slightly higher battery. It even has an FM radio! Unlike the Note.5, it has a total metal back - isn't that MORE "premium" (cough).

                  The main point is, how come the A8 has these better less fragile construction than a more expensive flagship? Samsung easily could have added these.

                  You are actually having and allowing compromises with the more expensive S Pen-capable Note.5. You are getting less features for $200+ more. Has it come to the lower models are actually even better? And if we are arguing about the processors, would milliseconds differences would kill you?

                              when comparing this device t my current note edge they are extremely similar in comparison.
                              i'd take the note edge on top as still has replacable battery and able to hav expandable meory plus your nifty edge screen which aint to nifty most times.
                              id would love htis device even more if it was able to ahve the expandable memory to use but 4GB RAm would help with multi app tasking on the device.
