Leaked live photos picked up by Droid-Life confirm two key, most-anticipated Samsung Galaxy Note 5 specifications. The coming phablet will not come with a removable battery unit, and there will be no microSD card slot. The Note 5 looks like a replica of the Galaxy S6’s exterior design, but is bigger and has a curved back, notes Phone Arena.
