It's sealed. Again, not that big a deal because I rarely ever had to open my phone and pop the battery out, but if something does happen to it, you can't just buy a replacement and swap it out yourself.

Those are the two things that would piss me off the most as well. The non-accessible battery was what sold me on the S5 rather than one of it's competitors. I think it was the Motorola or the LG that I was looking at. The no SD card blows as well.

I'm sure enough people are gonna blow enough smoke up Samsung's ass to make them rethink those two lack of features for the S7.

i've never done an odd galaxy always evens , my be worth a look upgrade time

I'm sure the S6 is a fantastic phone. I almost waited out for it instead of going for the S5, but I hit a wicked awesome price for the S5 around Black Friday, and that's what pushed me into buying it. There are just a few issues with the S6, changes most people didn't see coming. But with a little bit of research going in, you can make a more informed decision about what you want. Lance already gave you the skinny about the hardware... no access to the battery and no SD card port. But you can get the S6 with a ton of RAM, and you can always be very cautious with what you keep on the phone. Personally, I don't like the no battery access thing. It's a shady underhanded way of forcing you into buying a new phone when the battery goes kaput.

There's no reason why this phone couldn't be waterproofed. I can take my S5 apart, put it back together, and it's still waterproof. It's not like I need the waterproof feature. It's not like I'm gonna bathe with it, or go swimming with it, or drop it in the river, and I sincerely doubt I'm in any danger of dropping it in the toilet any time soon. But like you and others have already said, the S6 is already sealed up... it shouldn't take that much more to waterproof the damned thing. Given they've already done it with the S5, it's not like they don't know how to do it.

It's cool that they made wireless charging standard on the S6. I had to buy an alternate back cover to get wireless charging on the S5. Some people say wireless charging isn't that big of a deal, but I think it's really cool. Come home, throw it on the charger before you hit the sheets. Don't have to worry about plugging the phone in, just drop it on the pad and voila! It's charging.

The whole dropping it on the charger pad seems like the same as plugging it in, I want wireless charging that happens when I walk into my house
