A few weeks ago, it was suggested by SamMobile that it was unlikely that the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 will have a microSD slot – the reason being that Samsung had invested heavily into making internal storage so much faster than any other form of storage out there and that a microSD slot would seem unnecessary. For some, the lack of microSD support was the reason that they strayed away from the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge, however, if the latest leak from Sprint is to be believed, then the Galaxy Note 5 might actually end up having this feature.
The above readout was spotted on a Sprint hosted website (which has predictably been taken down now) and describes the hardware available for a Samsung SM-N920P. What you’ll notice in the circled area is that “ExternalMemorySlot” is accompanied by “Yes” which suggests that the Galaxy Note 5 could indeed have a microSD slot. What’s unusual about the readout, and puts a question mark over the page’s legitimacy, is that it claims the Galaxy Note 5 will have a Qualcomm processor and only 3GB RAM – we’re expecting a homegrown Exynos processor and 4GB RAM to be in the Galaxy Note 5 instead, but only time will tell who is correct. Samsung is expected to announced the Galaxy Note 5 at an event on either August 12th or 13th.
