On the GS6. What's more of a deal breaker for you, no removable battery or no SD card?

[CehowardNote7]

Why take a phone to a Gym ?

Take my Note 4, and my Sony or Harman Kardon BT headphones.. Carrying the phone in waist bag, that I lay down in front of the apparatus that I am using..I have a 128 gb sd card on my Note 4.. I play Flac files, as my Note 4 has aptx, and so does both of my headphones.

Getting a super workout and listening to your personal favorite music IMO, is one of the best feelings on earth.. To me it is up there with sex and food in the best feelings on earth..

BTW, I am 74.. Still going strong..

No SD card is a deal breaker for me. Was so looking forward to the s6. Now looking forward to keeping my s5, either that or maybe if I can't have removable batt or sd, may as well get a nexus, at least it will get updates 1st and won't have to wait 6 or more months for an update. Either that, or I could easily go back to apple. Main reason for staying with android for me has always been changeable batt and expandable memory

If you can handle the size the Note always satisfies.

Size Queen!

It seems Note 4 or upcoming G4 are only options for those that absolutely want/need both features. The latest rumor is that G4 will have 5.6" QHD screen. If that's true, you have to go larger screen phone or phablet anyway. Somehow I doubt people will flock to LG just for those features. It also remains to be seen if LG keeps removable battery. 5.6" screen really concerns me because G3 suffered from power hungry 5.5" QHD screen with throttling, battery drain. It seems G2 was still the best phone LG ever made.

Did they ever state why the chose to leave out the SD card slot and the swappable battery?

Sammy sees Apples stock price always going up. They realize they can save a few $ leaving out sd card hardware and charge the consumer $100-200 more for the priveledge. They can charge you that extra $100-200 for every new phone. They will also have a preferred cloud storage provider which will cut Sammy in on the profits. The locked battery will enable Sammy to charge you ~$100 for a replacement or they will sell you a new device sooner. Sammy might also have external battery partners who will cut them in on their profits too.

You can't be serious.

AND I STILL BELIEVE IT.
If I owned the company. I would repremand him for bring it up.
I will not eat my words.
I've owned a company and for the size I had other people in the same business ask how I had so much business and stayed so busy when they was so slow.

I don't Play when it comes to Business. And I get tired or excuses.

Told the samaung man.
He said they left the SD card because it couldn't keep up with the speed of the phone.

the Samsung dude said they got something to replace it. But its not cost efficient yet.
I replied you've had a year. You come up with a Faster processor, 64 bit technology. New memory, New hard drive, New battery
And you couldn't release a new style removable SD card ?
Couldn't get a full conversation with him like I said, I had a Woman that kept coming back and interrupting.
I tried to not scream at her.
If it had of been time to preorder and she walked up, I would of put her in her place.
Lady, take a number, i was here 1st. Drove 50 miles to get there.

Samsung makes more than just phones and memory cards.

 

[cardboard60]

Samsung could of charged a little more for the new style SD card they have.
You know they are going go up on the phone with all what they have changed in it now.

I know they are going up because its gonna have more RAM memory. I just wished they had of put the new style SD card in it.
And raised the price to 1250.00 off contract. And 500.00 for a 2 yr agreement.

1. Samsung doesn't have a new style SD card.
2. The Galaxy S6 doesn't have more RAM memory, it has more NAND flash memory.
3. RAM stands for "Random Access Memory" so you actually said "Random Access Memory Memory."
4. How's that retired CEO thing going?

according to the SAmsung Rep at Best Buy, They do have a removable card they could of used.
Its just too expensive to put on the market right now.
I'm for puttin it on the market but charging for it.

And as far as being retired, I can do anything I want to do.

Yeah, I don't believe that. I think he's just making excuses. I'm sure the phone will do just fine without removable media though.

I wouldn't trust what a Rep at a store says about the manufacturing process of the phone. He was given no prior information to the build... or why they did what they did. His job is simply to sell it.

Dude told me everything that anybody on here has told me and more.
He answered everything I asked him and told me why they did every thing they did.
After y'all unleashing I can see why they don't want to say noting.
Everybody on here knows more than a man that works for the company.
Geesh.

And I been working with computer for over 20 yrs. Built XT, AT, 80386 and some desktop computers years ago.
And I got somebody telling me what RAM is after I replied they Samsung is suppose to have more Ram and a new type of ram..
You guys are tough to talk to.
I think you should change your field of employment and go into Computers.

You're a frisky bugger ) I think you should have thrown a left hook at the lady who kept interrupting you!!

Dude, I'm a professional sysadmin, and my computer experience may just predate yours unless you managed to work on 8080 and Z80 based stuff. And you're the one that was talking about Samsung increasing the RAM memory to compensate for the lack of an SD slot.

It isn't that .. it is reps in stores have been shown time and time again to not know what they're talking about. I highly doubt Samsung tells everything they do in the design process and why to their store reps. Their reps sell their phones as is .. They don't tell customers how it was built.. because most don't care. So going on that .. it makes sense that the guy wouldn't know this.
