If the new thin A8 can have a micro SD slot so can the Note 5. I still have faith that it will.
The big question is: for those who are upset about the loss of SD cards, will 64gb base storage make up for that? For me personally 32gb is more than enough so I can't really make an educated guess for people who have very different storage needs.

In the article it states the 6 edge plus is going to be a lot thinner than the Note 5. It doesn't have to make room for the stylus. I think it is a great idea. The 6 Edge was a surprise hit for Samsung. So now they have a larger screen Edge for those of us that want a large screen phone. Then they have the Note 5 for all the Note line fans. Its a win win!I gotta say, I'm still mightily confuses why Samsung fragments its market so much instead of sticking to a single flagship, or 2, one large flagship and one small flagship. I just wonder what the purpose of S6 edge plus and a Note 5 is. Just put out the Note 5 with edges and put all your muscle behind it. Or just add the stylus to the S6 edge plus and put all your muscle behind that.

Naw the removable battery is gone forever. The dual curved screens are a big hit for them. They could not just make one model of the Note with a curved screen. It would alienate some business customers. So a perfect solution is to release 2 versions. One with a curved screen and no stylus. One Note following previous models features but with the current build like the S6.It's only 1mm thinner, the Note 5 has a larger battery as well. I still disagree, fragmenting the market like that hurts Samsung instead of concentrating on one model. If they were going to fragment the phablet market like that then they should have differentiated them more, let the Note 5 keep the removable battery for example. On the flip side if the Note 5 doesn't have curved edges I'm going to be very bummed, I'll have to choose between the Note 5 and E6+ with neither of them having the full feature set I want. A single phablet at 7.9mm with the 4100mah battery, stylus/digitizer with curved edges is what they should have done.
Simples.
The note is defined now by its stylus. (You write a note with a pen). Basically large screen phones are everywhere now, so that 1 main differentiator (it's stylus) is important to Samsung to define the Note not only from its competitors but also itself.
The new 'edge' curved glass devices (as opposed to Note Edge) simply would make it impossible to use a stylus without missing the rounded edges of the device. Not ideal in any way.
The Note 4 Edge dealt with this by simply reducing size of area you can write with the stylus. Seeing both edge and main screen as independent. Whilst this works it definitely isn't ideal. So now Samsung is approaching curved glass not as two separate screens as in Note 4 edge, but as 1 screen just curved on both sides, this solution wouldn't really work.
So simples. Enlarge the S6 so that its same size as the Note 5 and give it the edge to edge screen and you can do away with the stylus. People can't moan about losing the stylus because it's 'not' a Note
Then for the Note 5, expect only 1 version in 3 different storage sizes. No more Note Edge.

you never know they might release something like that eventually! I mean have you ever known Samsung to not release a ton of models!It's only 1mm thinner, the Note 5 has a larger battery as well.

Hey I wish they would go further and add a sound on/off switch right above the volume rockers too!Those are nice---so they're flipping the script and curving the back edge?
yeah me too. Just all metal like the current S6 and I'm good.Only aspect I don't like of the design is the color matched frame...just gimme all metal please, preferable matte finish.
Indeed, even babied the chrome edge would show the slightest of scratch ... Yet the Alpha had more of a matte finish - so hopefully they will go with matte finish metal.Yeah I just don't hope they have that same soft chamfered edges that the Note 4 had that was so bad with scratching up even with a case on. A very faint and thin like of it like the S6 will be perfect.
