Another leak has revealed even more about next month’s Galaxy Note 5, but don’t get too excited. After the Galaxy S6 arrived without a MicroSD slot or a removable battery, many expected the Galaxy Note 5 to get the same treatment. These leaked pictures seem to confirm the omission.

You can always hold out hope that these pictures are fake, but you know in your heart of hearts that these are the real deal. This is sure to disappoint a lot people, despite the Galaxy Note 5 shaping up to be a great phone in all other aspects: a 3,000mAh battery, 4GB RAM, Exynos 7422 SoC, and a shiny 5.670-inch Super AMOLED QHD display. The phone will come in the standard 32, 64, and 128GB configurations, and most will want to opt for the 128GB since that’s all the space you’ll get.

Even the lovely S Pen stylus can’t make up for the lack of an SDcard slot. It’s a bummer, because I really love my Galaxy Note 3, but this is enough to put me off upgrading to the Note 5.
