Ever since the launch of the Galaxy Note 5, there's been a number of complaints pertaining to the removal of the microSD card slot. At launch, Samsung limited the options to only 32GB and 64GB of non-expandable internal storage, which left many wanting more.

Earlier today Samsung launched a 128GB variant of the Galaxy Note 5 that it's calling the ‘Winter Edition.' The handset is only available in South Korea at the moment, however there's still a possibility that Samsung will introduce the Winter Edition Galaxy Note 5 in more countries down the road.

The Galaxy Note 5 Winter Edition is available in choice of titanium silver and gold platinum. Samsung said it chose these two color options because of their high popularity. The 128GB variant will carry a 999,900 KRW price tag, which is equivalent to approximately $846 USD.

  What OS did it have? I was worried that it had (Kitkat?), so that file and folder editing, movement, etc was almost impossible.
  
  Mind you, the Note 4 never came to Japan, and neither has the 5. Samsung might be pulling out of Japan. I’d say it’s a shame, but then again, their design choices of late haven’t exactly kept me loyal as a customer.
