AT&T Intros the Samsung Galaxy S6 Active
Doesnt say anything about SD card or removable battery...
So I'm gonna assume it doesn't have either, but then I never thought it would. The S6 doesn't have them, so it only makes sense that a sealed waterproof device wouldn't have them either.
Meh, almost no one replaces the battery in their smartphone anyway, by the time the battery stops holding a charge they always want a newer cooler phone, not a new battery for their old phone. And if you have a 2amp charger, the S6 will go from 0% battery to 100% in less than 45 minutes so Im betting the S6 Active is similar.
Micro SD, meh, just having one slows down the phone versus actual internal storage speeds. And how many times do most people actually physically remove the SD card anyway? A micro SD is good for when you drop your phone in wate...

This is an example of consumers NOT determining what they want. I know in economics class they pound into everyone's head that corporations listen to their customers as demand, but they really don't. Just like this phone. Everyone wished Samsung kept removable batteries and SD cards, but they chose to become an Apple clone. Now everyone is saying they're "okay with it" because they have no choice. Samsung didn't listen to their customers. Personally I think it sucks. People want to be able to have a spare battery or buy a replacement when their current one stops holding a charge. People want their pics on the SD card so they can just pop it out and put it in a new phone when the time comes. Anymore, there is little difference betwee...

I agree that it sucks.....I never cared much about removable battery but the memory card is crucial to me

I have to disagree, batteries typically do not last 2 years in my experience. I also like to shop for extended batteries in order to use my phone for more than a day. As nice as the back of the GS6 is aesthetically, it's also a liability (iPhone 4 & 4S anybody?) I can't count how many times I've seen shattered backs that drops the value of the device not to mention many people are financing now which would make them ineligible for an upgrade until the device is paid or an approved insurance claim is made or whatever.
I've also had android since my first device in 2009 and have a collection of pictures, files, music, etc. that is currently around 25GB and growing. "The cloud" is a sales tactic and in my opinion a terrible idea considering th...

It's posts like yours that concern me.
A company always looks for ways to save money yet charge the same or more for its products or services. They have R&D personel that read through sites and comment sections to review what people are saying. Posting your opinion on what doesn't matter to you, allows companies to possibly execute deletion of services or options that others may find invaluable. So rather than having something that you may not want or need, you effectively take away what others do want or need.
This leads to paying more for something that is not as functional. So the question is:
If you don't need them or ever use them, why not just ignore them? You're going to end up paying the same or more anyways regardless. I ...
