Maybe it was a cost to profit reason?
I'm thinking they upgraded to "premium" materials to address all the whining about plastic, so they were forced to cut SOMETHING in order to keep a certain profit margin.

Glad I have my S5, & am a happy owner
Maybe they'll learn from the S6, & bring back the card slot, & removable battery.  | |

Personally I don't think any of these are dealbreakers. I've been a Note/Nexus user for years. I've never needed to replace my battery nor needed more than 32GB storage. Not everyone needs those things. That being said I've already pre-ordered 4xS6 and 2xS6 Edge for work. Currently in like spot 13/16.

I put a microsd in my phone and leave it there for its lifespan. Removable storage isn't a requirement for me since new phones have so much built in space already. In fact I kinda like it so I don't have to move stuff back and forth. The people that are butt hurt in some android forums I go to are complaining that the $ of the device is higher since they can't throw in a cheapo card. By the time my battery is crap it's an excuse to get a new phone anyway  | |

For some reason, the lollipop camera does not allow me to save photos / videos in SD card directly. I can install 3rd party app to correct that, but I will just leave it there.
Need to stop relying on SD nowaday. I had 16gb in the beginning, filled up with photos and songs, then bought 32gb later, also filled up with photos and songs that I never touch. Now it goes the same with the new 64gb. Will set up the NAS properly, so I can free up the storage.
Also micro USB drives are getting popular, just in case you need to load stuff into your phone.

As long as the Note 5 still has a SD slot I'll stick with Samsung

If anyone wants to go play with the S6 and S6 edge they have demo units at best buy. Using my note 4 and s6 side by side I'm shocked at how much smoother and faster the S6 is .

Played with the demo units today at futureshop in coq. I was wanting the edge but it feels like the screen is smaller then the normal one.

Hmm I wonder if I'll get any tomorrow. I pre-ordered 6 each of the 32gb regular and edge models. We were in under the 40 mark when I did the business pre-order.

Anyone pick up an edge? What's your first impressions like? Pre ordered a 128gb from wind, was probably going to just take my deposit back cause I wanna see what Samsung is going to bring for the note 5.

Saw a coworkers new S6 Edge. Screen is pretty, but the curve is honestly useless. Makes the usable screen space look smaller. Not worth the premium at all.

s6 edge makes the screen look smaller than the non-curve imo
Picking up the regular S6 later on today hopefully, pretty excited as the last premium phone I had was the S3
Anyone see the Samsung VR headset that mimics the Oculus Rift? I think it'll be awesome combined with the 4K screen on the S6 -- definitely buying one once it comes out just for pure stoner luls and porn
this thing -- for the Note 4 but releasing S6 variant soon: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/wea...SM-R320NPWSXAR

I just picked up the regular S6 today. Obviously, a big change from my old S2...
Nothing too special , performance and tech is just up to date . btw, anyone know where to get 'clear' view covers? I noticed Visions had S view covers

S6 doesn't seem very appealing with the non-removable battery and missing sd card slot. Even though the sd card is not a big loss, it's still nice to have one, don't know why they would take it out.
