Glad I moved to Note.

They took a step back in battery size, its 50mAh smaller than the S4's and 250mAh smaller than S5, I don't give a rats behind on how much more 'efficient' the CPU is, I bet it won't be that much better once you start Web browsing with Chrome, Instagraming and Facebooking.

The CPU and Design are impressive, but why did the MicroSD slot have to go? I'm disappointed to be quite honest and I hope the Note 5 won't have so many downgrades.

To be honest, I prefer the note 4, Looks better and has an SD card slot too.

Can't wait to see the note 5 though.

I have had a look at this phone on youtube and I don't like the fact that you can't take the back off. Seems like they are copying Apple in some regards

Anyone know if the S6 is dust and splash proof? I can't see it mentioned anywhere so I'm assuming it's not?

It has an aluminium and glass design making it extremely difficult to make it ip67 certified. One of the small trade-offs for a premium feeling phone

Isn't the Sony Xperia waterproof and it's also glass and aluminum? I may be mistaken...

Samsung is the last big guy to move over to built in battery.

LG, HTC and Sony already did it. So not really copying Apple ;)

Also it is possible to make a waterproof phone out of any material. It just adds extra cost and development time. The sony Z isn't fully waterproof. Have heard alot of people complain that their phones are useless now after taking a swim with it

Why? The Note 4 has a smaller battery than the Note 3 and it lasts forever!

Note 3 is 3200mAh and the Note 4 is 3220mAh the last time I checked so its not smaller it's bigger.

As phones are able to process more data and especially with the increasing resolution the battery size has to increase accordingly.

I can see my next phone being an LG or Motorola. They seem to understand the Android way better than anyone. HTC is okay too, but I find their devices hideous.

Ah you are right, but do you think 20mAh makes such a big difference? I mean, the Note 4 has got the QHD screen and all as well.

If the S6 is even more efficient than the Note 4,it can only be awesome.
