I was already start accepting the unremovable battery and no sd slot thing but the moment i saw the droo test my heart crashed with it too. Too brittle and fragile. Its like having a wine glass as a smartphone. Drop it and it breaks.

I'll get my Note tomorrow. With no need of removable battery or sd card I'm sire I'll be happy with it.
This might possibly be my last Samsung phone after reading about the new Microsoft Surface phone that also uses Android apps with Windows 10 and also covers all the bases that are lacking in the Note 5. By the time I'm done with this phone they should have worked out the bugs by then.

Anonymous, 18 Aug 2015USB 2.0???? Why?So anyone who has putchased USB 3 accessories for the Note 3 has to buy them all over again. The same as with the battery with the Note 4, that had virtually the same capacity but of course was non compatible with any of the previous ones.

Clearly samsung acknowledges the brief ownership (rentership) period of their devices as of the last 2-3 years. They know they can toss any old thing out there and enough looky-lou's will have to have it that they will not suffer from pushing a mediocre product. One of the most intelligent things I have seen posted here, and this is true of ALL manufacturers, is that they feed us tiny upgrades i.e. one go of ram higher, per device evolution rather than jumping out with something really monumental with regards to performance (read: 5gb ram, 3.5ghz octave core, etc.) I'm severely disappointed with the note 5 and the games that were played with regards to "leaked" specs and info about it. It was enough to ease the sting of a sealed battery compartment by building it with the long-rumored 4500mah battery that suddenly became a 3000mah one upon unboxing. I'm moving away from Samsung until they really show a strong desire to be number one again and that is done by building stellar devices that set the standard, not mock-ups of other middling yet overpriced clones on the market.

TheNeighbor, 18 Aug 2015I already tested it out. Trust me, not missing out on anyth... moreUFS 2.0 doesn't make any difference when transferring files as obviously the Note's being throttled with only USB 2.0 connection, but it does help reduce lag as every type of flash memory starts to lag as you fill it with lots of files and simultaneously run many files, but UFS 2.0 is faster so can run more at once without the phone slowing so is much better than old eMMC memory.
But that's still no excuse not to have an SD slot because the phone would only slow down if reading system files from SD card so wouldn't affect anything if you only store media files on it and don't move apps to the SD.

*Its like apple iphone .
*No sd card slot.
*Non removable battery.
*lake of some note 4 options.
*Still not having more brightness in direct sunlight like apple iphone 6 plus display. But colour contrast is more than that.
*except s-pen work. Iphone 6plus is best .
*my opinion is wait for some more weeks because the next generation iphone will be release soon and price of the note 5 will be also reduce more and more.
* apple iphone price will not be drop quikly like samsung.

Unbelievable... well, I guess I do believe it.
I guess my long run with Samsung is over...
No removable battery + No memory card slot = No more Samsung.
Will keep my Galaxy note 4 until I find something else...
I will hate giving up the S pen, but if I had wanted an iPhone, I'd have bought one.
You know Samsung, if you'd only taken one of those 2 things away... nah. never mind. I'd still leave the brand.

AnonD-77443, 18 Aug 2015Thanks Samsung but no thanks.... I'll stick with my Note 4,... moreI already tested it out. Trust me, not missing out on anything on a Note.5 (NotePOINTfive)... If you put a Note 4 side by side with it, and not know any of the specs, you can't tell which one has a better processor, or their milliseconds performance differences.
Battery testing by PA proves the Note.5 has only an increased 5% battery efficiency than a Note 4.
Drop test already shows glass back breaks at 1st drop try.
Who cares about UFS 2.0 internal memory as 3 times faster when Wi-Fi Direct or cabled connection to your laptop has no significant data speed rate transfer difference? Not with a micro USB 2.0 anyway for wired connection. Are we talking about how long a few GB of LIMITED file transfers? A few seconds difference going to kill anyone? I bet my USB 3.0 in my Note 3 is even faster.
Overall, NotePOINTfive is just a shiny hipster bling toy ATM. Samsung has taken out the soul of the Note series, and replaced it with an iPhone one.

What I liked: the touchwiz design & features + the 4GB RAM + screen resolution + the s-pen features.
What I Disliked: The non removable 3000 mAh battery + The iphone design + No SD card
To be honest my Note 4 32GB with me since December 2014 & never used an SD card for more memory space.
But I'm now confused to try the new experience with Note 5 or to keep on Note 4 ?????
