We learned last week that the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 won’t be coming to Europe. That may change anytime soon but that 128GB variant we mentioned the same day may not happen. Samsung already said there won’t be one despite the fact that a 128GB model was seen at preorder sites.
A 128GB variant would be nice since the new Note 5 phone-tablet doesn’t have a microSD card slot, again, much to the chagrin of Android fans. Unfortunately, there was no 128GB Note 5 at launch and there won’t be one at all–ever. So what’s that being referenced on a pre-sales site? It could just be an honest mistake. There will only be two variants available: 32GB and 64GB. The Galaxy S6 edge+ will also have the same amount of internal storage options.
We’re still not sure why Samsung decided not to add microSD card slots this year. Storage expansion is important to premium phones especially now that sizes of apps are larger than ever. There won’t be any 16GB model because that’s too small now for a flagship from Samsung, what will all the high specs and special features. This is the first time that a Galaxy Note device doesn’t offer a microSD card slot for memory expansion which a lot of people think is very unfortunate.
Lesser storage on a big device may seem to be a problem. We’re not sure if Samsung is hearing the “cries” and would give in to the demands to bring back the microSD card slots. If not, maybe just add a bigger storage option. I guess we’ll have to wait and see if Samsung changes its decision on the issue.

I won’t be buying any Samsung phone anymore and that will change how Samsung do business. No sdCard no battery no buy. Simple.!
Amen, I hope over 10 million others feel the same way. Samsung hurt us, lets hurt them. If you take away our flexibility, lets take away your profits.
Completely agree with you…By this move Samsung is losing their business users who are willing to pay premium for a premium mobile. I believe Samsung is targeting people using their phones for mostly listening to music and watching YouTube….As a Note4 user I am very disappointed. I was previously an iPhone user. The reason to change over to Android and Samsung was due to having the option to change the battery (I always keep an extra battery in my packet) and having SD card…No Note5 for me….I am now looking for LG 4 Pro
Where in the world is the first-class Samsung flagship phone with ALL the features: the Samsung Note 5 Edge? The weakling S6+ and Note 5 iCompetitors strutted-out on August 13th are going to take Samsung, following down the same well-trodden path as HTC, directly to oblivion. I’ll just keep my Note 4 Edge & Gear S for another year, thank you!
I want to see in addition to all of the Note 5 features on a new Edge Note 5: 1) Exynos 7422 octa-core all-in-one frequency-hopping ARM chip ready for next year’s network speed increases and Android advances, 2) 10,000mAh battery, 3) dual SIM cards, 4) 256gig super-high-speed storage, 5) 4gig memory along with superior memory management, 6) 4X high-efficiency screen that uses 50% less power, 7) a physical camera button and much better camera software interface, 8) USBc port for superior charging & data transfer, 9) power button on top so I don’t accidentally shutdown the phone while adjusting volume, 10) more “medical” sensors, like blood-sugar, skin stress galvanometer, blood pressure, heart rate irregularities, motion-stress indicators, and software to diagnose dangerous situations, 11) highly improved and more Edge mini-apps, 12) the wallet-cover in-the-box, the cordless charging base in-the-box, the Gear S2 in-the-box. I don’t think that is too much to ask for $1,000 dollars US.
