Previous Rumors

In the past few weeks, there are a heated debate around the Galaxy Note 5 whether the device has microSD support or not. Previously, some leaks said that the  Galaxy Note 5 device will not have the microSD card slot because it was designed by a metal unibody with a non-removable back panel. So, this will make it hard to support the microSD card slot.

Galaxy Note 5 Newest Info

However, a newest information of the reports from Taiwan will be a good news for Samsung fans who hope to get the extra microSD card slot. Those reports shared that the upcomning dual-SIM version of Galaxy Note 5 phablet will support the microSD expandable storage for sure.

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 card slot is said to be the hybrid slot alike the Galaxy A series of Samsung. It means that the microSD card slot will share the the place with the second SIM and the single-SIM users will have the memory expansion. However, it is considered that this solution is not the best for people who need to use dual SIM cards.

Limited Editions

Nevertheless, the dual-SIM versions are predicted to have the limited editions in some certain markets. Moreover, it can be hard to purchase in other regions. For this reason, you may need to pre-purchase them from non-official channels to acquire beforehand. As we have known that dual SIM handsets are usually limited to markets in Europe as well as Asian, so it won’t be surprised when we have the similar circumstance for this time.

By the way, the information just can be clarified only when the official devices are announced on August 13th 2015. All we need to do is patiently wait for 4 days left. Hope that the coming products of Galaxy brand will not make consumers disappointed!!!

We all know that Samsung is going to hold their Unpacked event on August 13, 2015. Just a few days ahead, then we can see the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and S6 edge Plus, which have been rumored for a long time. Besides, we are also informed of the debut of an unknown tablet on that day as well.

However, according to Samsung, the S Pen of the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 will be equipped with a very special cap at its top, enabling us to get it out of the slot more easily.

Have you ever wondered how long your smartphone can “survive”? I mean how many months or years do you usually use one phone for?

So, we have found an interesting report about this issue in Korea, a country where smartphone market develops very fast. We notice that most consumers there use a phone for just 1 year and 2 months and then replace it with another.

Specifically, Korea Information Society Development Institute (KISDI) has conducted a survey with 10,172 people more than 6 years old and 9,413 people (92.4%) said that they had a mobile phone. When the participants were classified in to groups by age, it was reported that Korean teens would change their phone every 10 months. That is the shortest period of time for a “smartphone‘s lifespan”. Those between the teenage age and 40s switched to a new model after 14 – 17 months. People in the 50s made it longer with 21 months, 60s and 70s bought a new one every 29 months and 34 months, respectively.

Another case is basing on the brand. Apple users replaced their old phones after 15 months, while Samsung and LG users did it after 14 months and 13 months, respectively.

Well, what do you think about the results? Somehow we think that many new handsets have been introduced these days maybe due to the large number of demands for changing phones. Yet, who knows? Maybe it is because so many good devices equipped with strong specs and beautiful designs are available now that people just cannot resist them. Anyhow, 1 year and 2 months to use a mobile seems kind of short since a typical one can last for more than 2 years.

How about you, Malaysia? How long have you been using yours and will you change it soon?

You want a smartphone whose battery can be charged in a short time? You find the right place! Here we have 5 best Samsung smartphones that are equipped with quick-charging function for the cells! You will not have to wait too long to get your phone ready for work, entertainment, study or do anything you want!

Looking at the entire Samsung flagship history, we notice that Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and Note edge are the first flagships of the company to sport quick-charging ability.

Despite not being as fast as their siblings S6 and S6 edge, Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is still worth to be mentioned as one of the best phones coming with quick-charging batts. It is able to get 100% in 95 minutes, and the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge does it even faster: 82 minutes. Furthermore, these Note series members feature removable, larger and longer-lasting batteries.

Last but not least, Samsung Galaxy S6 Active:

We can say that this Samsung Galaxy S6 Active has a great battery life, also the best in this list. Though, the phone’s design is not as elegant as the above handsets, yet other Samsung Galaxy S6 Active specs are quite similar to its siblings as you can see in the summary table. Interestingly, the 3,500mAh batt of the Active just needs 103 minutes to be fully charged. Good job, Active!
