Samsung is back?

Removable battery?

Why even bother. This will not get them more sales.
>>
>>51490917
Why? the non-removable battery is 100% replaceable when it starts to fail.

How long do you go without being near a charger that you NEED a removable battery as a feature?

Too little too late, faggots


You can't just cut a shitton of functionality and then bring 1 part of it back, expecting everyone to come running

Considering touchwizz has been getting closer to stock android over the last year I dont really think this meme holds much weight any more.

If anything it just makes you look like an idiot for spamming the >touchjizz meme for no reason.

Also, the phone isn't out yet, for all you know it could be running stock 6.0 without any touchwizz on it (obviously it wont be, but the fucking phone isnt out yet, so you dont know shit)

Why not? Happens all the time. I buy whichever phone suits my needs when I am due for an upgrade.

I have no brand loyalty because im not being keked into buying some device just because i bought their last device as well. Fuck that, if the S7 is a good phone with good specs, mSD card, etc. I will buy it.

>Thinks raw specs mean a goddamned thing.

Didn't the S5 and the Note 3 (mainly the Note 3) do some sort of boosting of performance for benchmark tests only?
>>
>>51491364
Sure, almost every manufacturer does this.


And even so, what's your point? On paper, in benchmarks, and in practice, the Exynos 7420 is the clear SoC of 2015. It came out in April, and nothing released throughout the rest of the year could match it or beat it in performance.


You can claim all you want that raw specs don't mean anything, but in 2 years raw specs are what's going to keep my phone at least passingly smooth and usable, whereas a lower power device will be choppy and struggling on the basics.
>>
>>51490953
It allows for stupidly high capacity aftermarket batteries. I like not having to ever worry about charging my phone with a 10kmAh battery.
>>
>>51491469
i mean sure I guess?


But if you are going the route of large extended battery. Just go for an extended battery case, like you get with the Incipio offGRID case for the current S6.

It adds 3700mAh and an mSD card slot. It isn't as much as your 10kmAh. But it's also not as bulky, and adds some drop protection.
>>
>>51491512
cases are for fuckboys with clumsy fingers
>>
>>51491542
Yet a 10000mAh extended battery which requires a custom sized larger back to fit the fucker ISNT for fuckboys?


I mean come on, that shit almost IS a fucking case it just doesn't wrap around the sides and top like a case would.

Yeah but there's that little thing called KNOX

Nice.

Doubt I'll get a new phone in 2016 (pretty happy with my LG G4) but if the S8 or whatever still has microsd then I might find myself going Samsung.

are you homeless or just some autistic college kid?

no normal functioning adult would need to carry more than 30-50GB on their phone at once.


Normal functioning adults would have a laptop and/or an external hard drive to carry large amounts of data.
>>
>>51492504
i never said i use all that storage

the 200GB card was a promo item, i haven't even filled the 64GB of internal memory yet
>>
I pretty much gave up on the S6 even they introduced their new Exynos cpu. You can't install any custom ROM other than TouchWiz based ones. Other than that, I can't accept a phone without an SD card slot. I could get over a non removable battery, but I still don't know why is everyone pushing it so much. The battery life has gotten worse - there's that. I'm happy with my S5 for the moment and I'm getting the LG G4 next.
>>
>>51492671
If mSD card is that important their are cases that add mSD slots without adding much bulk to the phone.
>>
>>51492686
I'm not really into that. It's the principle I object to. I'm going to have as much storage on my phone, which I've bought with my own money, as some manufacturer decided to. I just don't get how people accept this. It's a pretty big deal to me desu.
>>

>Normal functioning adults would have a laptop and/or an external hard drive
That's text book autism, anon. Normal people do not carry external hard drives around.
>>
>>51492724
There's no sd slot because storage is used for market segmentation. It allows you to create artificial "high end" products be charging 5x the going rate for flash storage.

And that's exactly why I'm going for the G4 next. There's some rumors about the upcoming G5 and apparently they've ditched the SD card slot and the removable battery. I just hope it's not true.

Are you fucking retarded, pal?
The consumers want it because it was always in the galaxy phones, then samshit wanted to datamine and play apple for a while and took this feature out.

Only the uneducated consumers did not care and stayed with samsung phones, others, who are not completly retarded bought from competitors.
>>
>>51493445
Not on my phone, I have a home server for my media needs.

If I am on wifi I can just stream directly from my home server to my phone.
>>
>>51493645

You just proved my point. Consumers wanted it/wanted it back. Retards bought S6 anyway...okay, but they did lose customers who needed a new phone and no ext card made them choose some other brand.

I know if I had to have a new phone, I wouldn't consider the s6 for that reason.
>>
>>51493786
And you and I are savvy consumers that ironically don't need it. But I can see people who would want it as a safety. 64g card is probably 40 at this point I dunno.

I also store all my apps on my ext sd. because the s5 system files take 12/16 gig, leaving me with 4. Fucking Facebook alone is 350 meg etc. You throw in pics and vids you take and you're constantly managing your storage.

Yes it's a phone, but let's face it, phones for most people is there primary source of computing. Why not allow users expansion capabilities?

This. I have an S5 too and for the reasons you mentioned I'm only considering phoned that have an SD card slot. My next phone is definitely the LG G4. They are slowly, but surely killing off the SD card slots.

>shitty camera
I give you that, 8 megapickles is shit, compared to modern standards, but the last one i had was a 12MP model...well i still used it for snapshots, where quality is not important, so no problem for me.

>laggy os
Nope, no lag that annoyed me. If you keep your ram usage reasonable, there will be no lag. I tested a dualcore phone, 500 mb RAM with a custom rom for 2 weeks, it worked fine for light browsing and IM, little lag tho.

>completely reopen a program/app
You sure you know how that RAM thing works?
>>
>>51492504
640k is enough for anyone right? fucking idiot.
>>
>>51495217
64GB should be dumb ass. If you need more than that there are flash drives, external hard drives, USB OTG and an mSD card reader, etc.

Sure mSD cards can be useful. But they are hardly essential.
