And up to now, i've never needed its battery replaced. We're well beyond the time when batteries are needed to be user-replaceable. Technology has advanced to the point that such a feature is now only a preference. In terms of safety, that's not where the problem lies. The iphone has never had a user-replaceable battery and other oems as of late have proven that such phones aren't at a higher risk of spontaneously combusting than those with removable batteries. Waiting for the official result of the note 7 investigation is most prudent. If you trust samsung less because of the latest unfortunate note, that's your right. I think it's misguided, but to each his own.

With the the exploding fiasco they had with Note7 (yeah, I used it for 45 days), I can only hope it comes with a removable battery option. All batteries will degrade and expand - you can inspect them from time to time, or cycle between batteries. Just silly that they keep following iPhone trends and keep Samsung flagship phones even more fragile with glass backs and curved glass edges.
My trust towards Samsung has faltered. I'll wait for a few months until getting any of their devices to see for any explosive flaws. iPhones have the same problem so it seems with a report of an iPhone7 Plus exploding while being charged.

If Samsung is pushing for the trend of removing the earphone jack, then I'm losing more confidence with this company. I actually have been using BT accessories for audio, however, I really do not see it as logical.
I noticed too that Sony suddenly increased their BT audio devices by 50% than before. Rather silly to be riding on with the iPhone7 trend. What used to be $99 is $150, like the SBH54. My SBH52 had more functions at less than $100.

It'd be great if samsung decides to make the note 8 tout over 6 inches of screen real estate with the same dimensions as the note 7. 4k isn't bad as long as the battery is at least 5000mah (the a9 comes to mind). I'm down with 6gb of ram instead of 8 but please let there be 256gb rom. The s-pen was already awesome in the note 7 so they don't need to do too much in that area. Waterproofing is a nice addon as well as the iris scanner but i can do without the latter. Usb type c, latest exynos, and dual pixel camera and i'm a happy camper.

Removable batteries aren't the solution, the s4 had a removable battery but that didn't stop it from swelling up and Samsung having to replace thousands of batteries...

I had to go back to a 5 after I had to turn in my GN7. They tried to push the Samsung S7 on me but I like the stylus. I can't seem to get along without it. The 5 is OK but it's soooooo slow after the GN7. SO, there better be a stylus.

The dearest knowledge followers.The best amazing possible specifications with Bluetooth 5,without (might have been forgotten!)mentioning battery capacity,IR,dlna,radio screen ratio to entire prime front window,dedicated memory slot for a dual SIM version with incredible 6 to gig RAM !!!Hopefully people should not be condemned to compensate the Note7 failure by paying $2000+!!!But with the forgotten missingg modifications n and not afraid of the highest natural battery capacity,it is going to be the best to be followed in 2017-18-19 for sure!!!Justice Rights is knowledge follower too!Thanks GSMArena and uncle Samsung for good news even rumors!!Omid12Omivar,....

If the battery... moreWell non-removable batteries are smaller and their design is quite specific for every device (Which was the reason they were exploding in Note7 - the design), so i believe removable batteries are less likely to explode. First because you can use whatever desing you want and also because they will heat up less when they are separated by the plastic cover from the parts producing heat.

I believe the Galaxy Note should have the option of a much larger screen for those who want to have a phablet that truly is a phone and a tablet which is something millions have been waiting for

Sajahan, 05 Jan 2017Many of you talking about removable battery option!!! Why? ... moreseriously! I have had my note 5 for a year in February and I have not needed to "remove" my battery once. I would hate to have a removable back panel simply because if you drop the phone everything comes flying out and off the back of the phone like we're back in 2007 lol... it's unnecessary.. unless I suppose you use your phone constantly and it's dies in 2 hours but that's rarely an issue with a 3000mAh++++ batteries we have these days.

If the battery is going to explode being able to remove it wont help when it is already too hot to touch. (Don't get me wrong I want to go back to removable batteries more than anyone but isn't going to help the exploding problem)
Either way I have always loved the Note series but why have they stopped making it bigger/better. I would at least a 6 inch screen like the Nexus 6 had, and it seems like they could get off the same camera that they have had since the note 4. Just with the 5 they added optical image stabilization. Hell there are several phones out there that have a 20mp sensor in them. just my 2 cents.

If Note 8 was just a re-release of the Note 7 with a removable battery myself and many others would be all over it. After that battery fiscal it would take a lot of convincing for me to consider any brand of phone that does not have a removable battery. My sister has an iPhone 6 (which I would never buy) and the battery in it expanded to the point that the screen was separating from the phone. The service tech told her that he was not legally authorized to open the phone once he noticed that the battery was blown and said that he had to confiscate her phone. They did give her a new one, but my point is that he couldn't remove the battery. If you are still not convinced about the need for a removable battery the fact that Samsung had to send out Fire Proof Boxes to allow people to return their Note 7's should be enough to change your mind.
