That's what Samsung appears to be trying its hardest to do to the Note 5. Sabotage.
They appear to need and want the Note 5 to be a big hit for them, right now, so much. They appear to want us to feel the Note 5 is the latest and greatest thing we could want.
And at the same time, they seem to be making the Note 5 as bitter a pill to swallow as possible:
They gave the device the best camera ever. Yet, they eliminated expandable storage, and held back on the model with 128GB of (always grossly overpriced) internal storage at the (obviously) absolute last minute.
They gave the device an improved CPU that uses less power, to improve length of run time on a single charge (among other things). Longer battery run time is still a huge area of improvement customers want. But what did Samsung do? Not only did they eliminate the ability for users to carry a spare battery to swap in when they need it, they cut the capacity of the battery from the previous model!!! And then even had the temerity to say right out loud at the public unveiling that they cut the charging time by 30%!! Who doesn't see that if you make the battery smaller that it will take less time to charge it!?? And they also said they can charge phones this way (wirelessly) faster, than most phones with a cable - even when it (the Note 5) has a SMALLER BATTERY.' Excuse me??
How does that all not add up to having our legs pissed on by Samsung, and then them trying to say it's raining?
