Yup, I wish Note 5 has replaceable battery but very unlikely.
So, Note 4, here I come!

I suspect Samsung is fearful of losing the Note 5 sales to Iphone 6S launch next month.

If it is, Samsung, why so kan chiong? Who ask you to design your phones to look like Iphone nowadays? Now my Apple friends say our phones copy theirs? sigh...

And now our sdcard slot and replaceable battery also gone!

I used Note 1 previously and currently using Note 3 for two years already. After using Note (with the S-pen and many many additional Android features that Iphone don't have), I don't know how to change to another phone. Die die also must use Note.

Yeah I also think the battery is non-issue with the fast charging capability.

In fact, I'll go further to say even the storage is not an issue with so many OTG thumbdrives out in the market now, some of which have extremely small footprints!

man...1 k for telco signout for 128gb

1.5k rrp for 128gb......skipping

I think the issues is only paying more for high storage on the phone such as 64gb and 128gb.

As long as Samsung don't copy the dumb iOS clustering iconic UI, I'm fine with it. That's also the reason why I hate MIUI. How can that still be an Android when every shortcut is being dumped onto the home screens and without the app drawer.

Sadly, this is how OEMs trying to milk their consumers nowadays. 128GB will be too expensive for me if I ever going to get Note 5. 64GB is the max I can go.
