The "Tech industry" has been hard on Samsung in the last couple years for not making "premium" phones like apple does. Samsung was notorious for plastic frame and faux leather. Then new Galaxies now have Metal frames and glass backs.
Now I have been a Note user for a long time now and the Note 5, in my opinion should not even be called a Note. The Note is supposed to have the best of the best at the time of it's release, yet they took the SD card out and the battery is no longer removable. That is my main complaints. However, it does have that stupid metal and glass frame like Apple.
Do you know how many Apples I see with totally jacked up frames? It's ridiculous! You can't just break the glass on an Apple, you have to bend the frame so that it looks like crap when your finished getting a new screen. On the Galaxies, you just use your fingers to bend the plastic frames back in line, stick your new glass int here and your off and running.
For the life of me I don't understand why anyone would want Samsung to copy Apple. You realize that Apple should not be defined as quality right? iOS 9 runs on everything from a 4s to a 6S yet there are how many different versions in there? So is there really that much different in the phones? Could you imagine if cars were like iPhones? You would go tot he store and all the cars would be white or black and look exactly the same. You would have to the dealer to have anything done with it and your dealer would require gas and any accessories come from them and be authorized to be on your car. If you forgot where you parked, you would have to go looking in all the windows to see if your crap was in it because all the white/black ones are identical.
The same scenario with Android......... Just like cars are now
Why would anyone want to copy Apple, I just don't understand it.
