I don't know, even with the older but perfectly capable 821 and the loss of a removable battery that is bigger than any previous models, if it's $100 to $150 cheaper than the new Galaxy it should do all right. I am still interested depending on price. I have no need for an $800 Galaxy filled with gimmicky features that people moaned about it needing that just drives the price up. Same thing going on here. I bet the same people who say "no removable battery, no buy" will say things like "No water proof, no buy" or "No wireless charging, No buy". I just can't imagine any job that keeps you using your phone constantly away from any outlets for so many hours at a time. These things charge so quickly now and even car quick chargers are under $10 on Amazon.
