You just had a pop at someone else for making an unfair comparison yet compare native internal memory with an added SD card. As I've already said, the built in memory is far superior to the SD card. Try writing a 4k video on the fly to your SD card.....I'll save you time, you can't because it can;t write to it quickly enough.
You can't, but you can't retrospectively put an SD card it and grab your data from an RMA'd phone either. If you're writing the data to the SD card as you go you've still got your data but an SD card is far more likely to fail/be put in the washing machine, snap in your pocket etc than a phone so how would you retrieve your data in that case?
If that were true phones wouldn't need RAM either then.
You know what RAM's job is right? It basically exists solely to overcome the problem slow read/write speeds from your storage memory.
Unless you're the type of person who thinks a £600 smartphone should look like it costs that much. Not a massive thing for me I admit but given negative comments on past Galaxy releases it seems important to many. There will be people who only didn't by the S2,S3,S4 and S5 because of the plastic so for them this is a whole extra phone option.
SD cards allow u to swap and change memory on the fly if you wish to carry even more data with you that an internal memory simply cannot.
Dispite a phone capturing 4k, who uses that feature much? And who has a 4k monitor?
lets talk about us tech heads. Who here has a 4k TV/setup at home and who records at 4k?
Not many. Now ask an average joe. They will reply and ask u what is 4k in the first place.
Point is, 4k is not a reason to have ssd like speeds because 4k is not even standard yet.
I do know what ram is, do you? do you know the purpose of having ssd?
SSD benefit from very fast read/write speeds of data floating around your storage. Almost no scenario would a tech user nevermind a average joe need that sort of speed in a device.
Like i said, who here crunches lots of encoding/decoding on there phone? Who here transfers large files around there storage?
What apps even need that sort of storage performance?
Again adding SSD speeds is pointless. 4k is not a reason for it.
If someone was going to shoot proper 4k, you really think they will turn to a mobile phone to do so?
Many of the semi pro youtube users dont use any of there phones to record even at 720p because its pointless.
So using a 4k as a valid argument as if 4k is now the norm that average joe users use extensively to capture videos is crazy.
About the looks. I am not too fussed about it.
If i wanted looks more then anything else id get an iphone.
past Samsung devices where great.
i have used and seen metal back cover devices where you can take out the battery and use a sd card.
Having a premium finish doesnt mean you cant have removable battery and for gods sake an sd card slot!
This phone is not even water proof!
The past s5 device was and you could remove the battery!
Fair play if this phone was full water proof like the z3, then that could be a valid reason not to have removable battery cover.
BUT THIS PHONE IS NOT WATERPOOF so where is the benefit of this new design?
