Galaxy Note 7 vs Galaxy Note 5: What You Need to Know
Storage & Micro-SD Slot | |||||||
 | |||||||
Two big problems with the Galaxy Note 5 was the lack of storage. We simply had 32GB of internal storage and no micro-SD slot for expansion. As a result millions of buyers were upset, ran out of storage, or bought something else. It was the biggest complaint from Samsung users in 2015. The new Galaxy Note 7 doubles that by having 64GB of storage built-in, and a micro-SD slot for storage expansion up to 256GB. Add all that to the improved design and waterproof features, and this phone is already a good upgrade over the barely a year old Note 5. As an added bonus those who pre-order will get a free 256GB micro-SD card from select partners in the United States. Giving the phone over 300GB of storage. | |||||||

HI, I know people must ask this all the time. But here I go, I am currently using xperia z5 and I’m unimpressed. I got this phone as note 5 and s6 had no expandable memory. I have this daft mobile on contract for 2 years. Can Samsung please donate me Samsung note 7. I would like to witness the new edge around the corner.

Your specifications appear to be a little off. You have Samsung Exynos 8-core processor with 3GB of RAM for the Note 5. My US edition (incase it’s different than international) as 4GB of RAM. This is why, with the recent leaks that are not as encouraging, it appears the Note 7 really only has a bump up (and a big one) of the IP67 (or 68) water and dust resistance, memory expansion and Iris scanner. If one already owns a Note 5, performance may be close enough that if one has a 64GB version like me there is much less incentive to upgrade this time around.

I have the Note 5, the day I bought this I asked dealer right away why this doesn’t have SD slot like the Note 4? I was told Samsung took away that feature because the photos stored to that SD card has a lower resolution with that of photos stored to the built in storage. How great would the one be on Note 7?

I’m kinda confuse, I own the note 5, and the note 7 to me the ONLY important factory is the memory(expansion) the cost is a bit higher, but as far as phones they look extremely the same maybe the rounded edge…I don’t know should I order should I not….
