I'm particularly dismayed that the new S6 has switched to a unibody design with a battery that's not easily removable.
I'm extremely pessimistic about Samsung's claims of the Quick Charge ability (10 minute charge giving you 4 hours of on time - are they referring to just talk time with the screen off???). Sounds like an amazing way of destroying the battery or decreasing its original capacity so the phone becomes disposable at an even quicker rate.
Anyone figure Samsung would go back to having their standard removable battery and upgradeable memory?
If they're not, I see the S5 as the last Samsung phone I will ever get. The only other maker that does a removable back is LG. Who knows what new entrants like Xiaomi will do.
