Here are some APPs & Useful Files from the iPhone S6 with NO removable battery & SD
Most likely the Note 5 will have a 4K display but I really do hope it still comes with a removable battery and SD Card slot...
if not... honestly, I will be out of the Note Series. If the S6 is a sign of things to come... (as it usually is) then we are in big trouble my friends... (if you think the same as I do)
Anyway... regarding this thread...
In case you want to try the latest Apps... (from the iPhone S6):

Take care everyone!
Lol love how you said iPhone s6. Because that is exactly what it is !! I could care less about the removable battery. it lasts me all day anyways. But no expandable storage ?? Cmon now! Sure I haven't even used half of my GBs. But Imagine if the s6, the most expensive model 128gb for over $1000. Now imagine the NOTE series. Since its always been $150-300 MORE. I love my note 4. And if Samsung doesn't get the BIG picture that android people really don't give a crap about materials. We care about the specs and what matters to US. IPhone people only care of how there phone looks. Even tho its sporting 2012 tech with 2015 architecture. The note 4 is perfect in terms of quality. Got a super durable gorgeous phone. And if t he new note 5 comes without an SD slot of removable battery. It BETTER, BETTER have something even better to accommodate for the loss

Lol sad to say if they go that route the new note 5 will cost you $1000. The cheapest...$1300 the expensive. And if they do some crap like the edge... $1300-1600 FFFFFFD THAAAAAAAAATTT
I'll just stick with my N4 for a long time since I just bought my 128gb Samsung SD and with back ups and keeping a few roms in case I get bored as well as 2k videos I can fill 128 in a good amount of time so not being able to swap it out won't work but let's be reasonable here, I won't spend that much money on a 128gb phone as it will be well over $1000 I can't do 64gb anymore, that would be stepping back, and no the cloud won't work because we're I work there is no service, it's underground so I need hard storage. I'm sure there will be plenty of people who buy it but I also love to replace my battery every 6 months with a new one, then after a year switch back to the original one, keeps it lasting longer. So long story short, no, I'll won't get a closed phone without memory expansion and, and, removable battery.
I call it SI6 the Samsung iphone 6. Very disappointed :thumbdown:
Trust me I need my micro SD too, But it wouldn't shock me at all if Note 5 doesn't have a micro SD card. Look how google removed users rights to have write access to external storage without root.
I will go back to blackberry and back to crack berry lol
I just won't update until they get the message. If they don't get it, then I will look to the other manufacturers. If everyone is going this route, then hello Apple...
And also gave write permissions back on 5.0 lolipop. {sd card}

I read Marshmallow update will allow the SD to become actual Internal Storage or External. It is supposed to have an option. I have MM on my 2013 Nexus 7 but no sd with that to test. ..but thats the word..
Hey all, have been looking hard at the Note 4 as replacement for my aging 4S. Looking to get away from ios, wouldn't be my first android device nor my first samsung. I would be buying the phone full price, no contract, and was wondering if I should buy now or wait till the S6 release and see if there is a price drop?
Thanks
Coop
Check slickdeals.net they have deals for note 4

Galaxy S6 release won't effect the price of the Galaxy Note 4...
Both are two different series in phone..
Now if you want Galaxy S6, it will b cheaper then Note 4
The price of the Galaxy S6 should b the retail price of the Galaxy S5 today... Note 4 stays the same...
3 months back I made the switch from iPhone 4S to Note 4 glad I did... all iPhones are the same
Note 4 has the removable battery and SD slot that the Galaxy S6 and iPhone don't have
In many ways the Galaxy S6 is a step back from Galaxy S5 I just like the look better and new figure print sensor but looks are not everything, it's features or what it includes also sells the phone... I won't b buying Galaxy S6 nor Note 5
Phones are personal preference, so goodluck! I can say I just recently read something about Best Buy having a good deal on Note 4 like $200 off retail price or something close but I didn't read to much into it, it may only have been for people who sign up on a contract...

Those Best Buy deals were for contract Note 4s.
I got my Note 4 a few weeks ago to replace an LG G3 my son decided to throw and destroy. I was going to wait for the S6...and I still think I'm going to get one...but the N4 is a fantastic phone and you can't go wrong with it if you like the size. I'm really happy w/ the Lollipop update except for the lock screen notifications (I wish it was like stock android still...doubt tap to open is a MUST) so I can definitely recommend it without reservation.
I just want the same camera (or better) in a smaller footprint. The camera is probably the most important aspect in a phone to me, so the S6 is really enticing since it's essentially the Note with a smaller form factor. Removeable battery and SD Card don't even move the needle for me, so that's not an issue.

I'm still on the 4.4.4 kitkat update... tho I do have the OTA of 5.0.1... but I don't like the notification pop up... so I'm staying where I am and 5.0.1 isn't much of a update rather wait for 5.1
But personally coming from a iPhone with out a removable battery and SD card really limits the phone.. space wise and battery
I guess depends on how much you update phones but personally, I update every 2 to 3 years an once the phone get to 1st year on a internal battery. It don't last as long and needs to b replaced. For this reaosn removable battery is nice just simply buy a new battery for like $12, all fixed... where on internal phone it's going to cost you $60 mayb more from a phone repair store... or if you do it your self it would b like $20 but a pain (talking from experience, just not simple)
SD card is nice just to add extra storage your right it don't move from my phone but it's having it what counts... Note 4 has 32gb plus 64gb sd card... no reason to need space but on 32gb my phone would b full... plus i bought 64gb card for $30
These are two reasons y I came to this phone and away from iPhones, my iPhone is still a great phone but needs a new battery so I put the money towards a new phone instead since I kno it will have same issue in time... plus memory was always a struggle phone always full, alot times went to take a pic just to see a pop saying not enough free space....
Plus the note 4 camera is great... It's very close to the one in Galaxy S6... not much difference...
As I said its all personal preference... it's what you want and how your going to use the phone...

Are u Happy or sad with direction they are taking the note line?
nope
No but I do like the design and the similarities with the S6 but the battery size stinks. I'll have to see how the battery lasts before I decide to buy one or not. The non removable battery and lack of externalSD are workable for me but a lame battery is not.
At this point like my computer i have to have at least a second drive. Being I have Note 4 DE and having failed SDcards I do have my stuff on my computer but the ease of backups and other items on my SDcard is huge for me especially when I change roms. Battery size is also important and right now this Note 4 has all I want.
Just makes me glad I have a Note 4! I like having a replaceable battery and I keep buying bigger and bigger SD cards.

No SD card is kind of a pain, but it's not the end of the world to me.
What I'm more interested in is finding out if Samsung will be releasing a developer edition!
I'm planning to keep my Note 4 DE til something cool comes along from another manufacturer. It's pretty obvious it will be my last Samsung phone. Also I have no contracts with Verizon now, as of this month. I'm going to check out the actual coverage of the other carriers. Of course if they really can't compare I'll stay with Verizon. Coverage is the only reason I signed up with them in the first place. I don't really mind if congestion slows them down some. I'm not going to put up with lost coverage.

I'm in the same boat. I would love to move to TMO but their coverage here is worst than "stinkie"...I mean like 2g is the best I can expect in my area.
I heard to compete with T-Mobile Verizon is did continuing the 2 year subsidiary plan contracts..... So without that I assume the Note 5 will be hella expensive.. Cause the only option would be to buy out right or V. edge type of installment plans

I am also sticking with my note 4 because I don't like anything about the note 5, I heard LG might be coming out with a note, is it true?
Note 5 is a joke! 3000mah battery, 32 or 64 gb only, no removable battery and no sd card slot. Not much worth the upgrade. I'm definitely waiting for the new LG Pro that will be better than the Note 5.

I came from the G4 and wasn't impressed with LG at all. The build quality stinks. I also had a S6 witch I liked a lot but prefer the display and size of the Note 4. If the battery on the Note 5 lasts like the S6 did for me I'll be OK with that. I has getting 2 to 3 days on one charge witch is fine for me.
You must be a very light user. Most people who are heavy users get about 6-7 hours tops on the GS6.

Yes, I'm a light user. My son has to charge his every day but it dose last him the day. It's definitely not for heavy users but at least it has wireless charging built in.
No way, no how, never, never, never
I never put my DE Note 4 on a charger. I go through up to four batteries a day. Just replace the battery and keep on rockin in the Free World . I sleep with the thing in my shirt pocket to get alarms. I am almost always online watching security Camaras, checking email banking alerts, tracking shipping using the hotspot or just using the thing for entertainment. I would go back to the Note 2 before I got a phone without a replaceable battery. I will never be tied down to a battery charger again. Don't even think about it.
I think the number 5 isn't a good number for Samsung. I think the Note 5 is going to go the same path as the S5. It isn't impressive enough to upgrade to from a Note 4. In fact, I think Samsung has taken several steps backwards, no SD, no replaceable battery, and smaller capacity battery. This is not a step forward in my opinion. I'm going to keep my Note 4 and look elsewhere if I need to. Sad...
I just wanted to make a post and express how much I love this phone! I can't believe Samsung really came through and completely hit it out of the park! TouchWiz is much lighter and doesn't hiccup and stutter like it did in the past. If anybody is worried about the lack of SD card and removable battery don't be. This phone is fantastic!
64gb's of sexy!!

TouchWiz isn't lighter lol, it's the extra ram making it fly. Either way I'm happy that they addressed it at least and the phone is blazing out the box in Stock form.

There's still 1.8 gigs on the system so not a ton of trimming, stock Android comes with about 500 mb on the system.

Aesthetically, this is the most beautiful phone I have ever owned. (S1, gNexus, S4, S5, note edge) It cost less than the note edge I turned in to upgrade to this phone.
The gold platinum was just so stunning. I'd have to see the titanium silver in person to decide, but it's not a option on my carrier. Between the gold platinum s6e+ or either white or black note 5, the choice was clear for me.
Such a large yet manageable size, with the bezel-less illusion of a stunning screen. Theme store + nova launcher prime makes me ALMOST not want to root it when available. With my s view case on it's way, I'll be happy with this phone till the s7 comes out.

Mine had 23.7gb available when I hooked it up to my computer after I got it.
I'm loving mine as well, rockin the 64gb version in black sapphire. Using a clear back case so I can see the color. I was a note user since the note2 but decided that I don't use the s-pen enough or hardly at all to get the note 5. This phone is basically a note 5 but no s-pen. But r he edge+ looks and feels better. The no removable battery isn't much of an issue the no SD card is kind of but not really there's always OTG storage. Loving it so far.

We must be twins same back story as me about s-pen and having all the notes from 2 till now. This phone is the most amazing phone I've ever used doesn't even urk me that it's not rooted. I haven't been able to run stock on a phone in years but the game has changed!
I bought the International unlocked Titaninium Silver from ebay (never-msrp) and the phone is really stunning!!
32GB device : Free GB =23GB.
4GB Ram : Used Ram = 1.8 GB (2.2 GB Free).
Touchwiz is very beautiful and I didn't see much lag(there is very small though) compared to previous version.
I am getting 5 hours of battery life with 11% still remaining without turning on Power or Ultra Power Saving features.
When I used Samsung Application Manager App to clean the device whenever i use it I got 3 hr 4 min screen time with 66 % still remaining and i have GPS and Bluetooth both turned On.
Split screen feature ,peer view feature, Samsung Music player(sound quality) and as mentioned above Samsung Application manager are really awesome.
Its an Apple eater
Just for convo.. Thx
I'm on the fence, but I'm leaning towards a No.
I'll tell you why:
1. It's smaller then my Note 5 (while the difference isn't big on paper, its big in hand.. and to be honest after Note 5 and realizing how much more screen real estate = more use/functionality/video/beauty, I now want a BIGGER screen vs smaller)
2. Only 3500 mah battery, really? for a screen that size.. I know I know.. its the stylist, but still .. what do I use more often.. a stylist or extra day of battery?.. Battery wins
3. It's expensive as hell and really has the same guts as S7 Edge.. so no bragging rights that its so much better
Note 7 alternatives I'm keeping my eye on:
1. Huawei Note 8 - 6.6 inches
2. Huawei Mate 8 - 6 inches
Why, so we can be locked out again. I am hoping for a bad ass nexus to drop

I am, but I'm a sucker every year. It's just a bad habit at this point.
Honestly, though, the removable storage is the biggest reason. There's no way I'm going to ever use the iris scanner - it's four steps more than using thumbprint. But, I applaud the innovation!
I am but then again its a habit at this point lol anyone want to buy a Note 5 with $150 worth of accessories lol

Not to mention thE added benefits of new cpu technology. That is if you stay away from Qualcomm crap!
I personally went yesterday for the fun of it to check the note 7 at my local AT&T store and guess what ? My note 5 can dance in circles around it. Hated the edge and in all honesty it feels like an S7 edge with the pen in it. Nothing special and all the new features that they keep talking about can be easily implemented with a software update. So unless I get the nicer beefier version from China I'm going to pass and that always on display in ran into an app that works perfect with my note 5. And it's not that glance one.
