Best smartphone. I have one, and honestly I can tell you this smartphone is perfect coz expandable memory, water can't destroy it, and it also has removable battery, that's still the best part of this smartphone, so if your battery is dying you can easily remove it and replace with another one. This smartphone, Galaxy S5, was the LAST Samsung smartphone THAT has this future, S6, S7, S8, S9, S10.... S10+, S10 THEY CAN NOT REPLACE THE BATTERY. When we talk about the battery, it's pure beast on the S5. Design is for me, really cool, if we talk about new Galaxy S5, but if it's used little bit, design will be little bit ugly. Android 6.0.1 is perfect on this smartphone, also GSMARENA.COM, edit your galaxy s5 info, it's still 6.0.1 android version, beautiful design, big party of this smartphone is plastic, but that's not matter. This smarpthone is water resistance, including it can be 1meter in water for 120minutes. Anyway if it's fully of plastic, it's hard to destroy this smartphone. Sadly, smartphone status is discontinued, BUT there are a lot of onlline places where you can buy it, including amazon, ebay and others, officially posted by samsung. My recommendations are to buy on amazon.com, this smartphone is the best one you can get for little number of money. Buy it ;) Thank you for reading my opinion

          Best phone ever. Expandable memory, water resistant, and the best part is removable battery I bet your S10 can't do that ;)

                  S5 is pretty great. The camera is extremely lousy in low light, etc., but what do you want from an older phone. I would suggest getting an extended battery. I used a belt clip case to carry it. Just be aware you won't probably be able to fit it in any kind of case, Otter Box etc, but you can put a glass screen protector on it. You can even swap out batteries! This is the last Galaxy to be able to take off the back! My Note 8 has crazy better power management and 1,000x better camera

                    Anonymous, 03 Mar 2019I'm getting one soon and I was wondering, did you ever have any battery issues? as that is one... moreI got mine almost 2 years ago, no issues with battery or almost anything else. However, it was 2 years old already and the previous owner bought a new battery. So, my phone is around 4 years old, my battery is around 2 years old, and still working fine. If you take care of it (I don't overheat it and I charge it whenever I can but never leave it on charger when it's full) it should be fine. Also, batteries can easily be bought and replaced.

There is also a quick-charge usb3 cable that charges it faster.

                                    Had a few problems with this phone. About 1 month after usage, had trouble with charging the phone. It would only charge when phone is turned off. Also had trouble transferring files from my sd card to pc. It works fine if I actually take out the sd to put directly into pc, but it doesn't work well consistently when phone is plugged via usb to pc. Finally, phone screen died. Phone can still be turned on, you can hear the notifications, calls, even fingerprint is still working but you can't see anything on the screen(all black). Lasted 1 year and a half.
