It seems like no one can release a phone that’s good
enough for Android fans these days. Recently we
documented Android fans complaining because the
OnePlus 2, which delivers cutting-edge hardware for
under $390, lacks support for NFC. Now it seems that
Samsung’s just-announced Galaxy Note 5 is getting the
same treatment if comments over at Reddit’s Android fan
page are anything to go by.
So what are the big complaints about the Galaxy Note 5?
Here are the three big ones:
The Note 5 only has a 3,000mAh battery . This strikes us
as a reasonable complaint since the Note 4 had a
3,200mAh battery and wasn’t as powerful as what the
Note 5 will be. It’s not a huge difference in battery size
but we can see why it would bother some people.
The Note 5 lacks a microSD card slot . This one
shouldn’t have come as too much of a surprise since
Samsung took away microSD card support for the Galaxy
S6. The hope here was that because the Note 5 was a
larger overall device, Samsung would find a spot for
microSD. Sadly, that turned out to not be the case.
The Note 5 only comes in either 32GB or 64GB options .
This one is legitimately baffling because with a device
as big as the Note 5, you’d expect Samsung would give
it heftier storage options. It seems that the 128GB
versions of the Galaxy S6 didn’t sell as expected, which
might explain why Samsung is maxing the Note 5 out at
64GB. All the same, that would be even more reason to
include a microSD card slot.
In all, these complaints seem to be a lot more valid than
the comical whining about not being able to use Google
Wallet on the OnePlus 2. All the same, I can’t help but
feel that many fans are overlooking the fact that the
Note 5 really looks like a terrific phablet…
