    Rhombus, 25 Jul 2018I keep reading about how the battery in this phone is good, but my 16 GB Galaxy S5 barely last... moreI had the same issue. The reason being 2800mah battery and it is not that efficient. I was a heavy user too and phone lasted only for 6 hours for me after a single charge or if I use it occasionally then they phone would survive for 9 hours max with power saving mode turned on both the times

      I keep reading about how the battery in this phone is good, but my 16 GB Galaxy S5 barely lasts me a full day. I start using it fully charged around 7 in the morning and it's usually dead around 5 PM. Granted, I'm a heavy user and have a few power-hungry apps installed, but I still think a phone should last more that 10 hours regardless.

          I have a S5 G900I model which is now 4 years Old. Still works great. Camera , Display is perfect , also not bad in performance and also protected from water damage. The only problem is the battery is very poor now. When the Indicator comes to 15% then phone will shutdown. So I don't recommend to buy used S5 devices because even though you get the good product you can't manage the day. But the phone is good for developers to test apps.

                    ●very sharp camera-proud of the camera
                    ●screen sensitivity 100%
                    ●power saving is really amazing
                    But
                    ● Front camera is not very good

                        I am using this phone for last 4 years and it's still running great. Apart from some cosmetic wear and tear. The phone looks and works like brand new. Actually I am writing this on same phone. Battery is still strong enough for a day. Display is excellent feels more crisp and bright than my brand new iPhone 8. A true workhorse from Samsung.

                            I've owned the 16gb version since August last year, it had already been used and i can safely say the phone is amazing. the camera is good, the sound quality is wonderful, the touch screen is sensational. My advice, if you are to buy this phone, make sure to have samsung original charger and battery, you will like it

                                    His battery certainly won't last that much. But it has the advantage of replaceable batteries.
                                    But it makes me doubt of other battery test in other phones.

                                    Endurance rating 96h in Mate 10 pro is comparatively absurd as it last a LOT longer than g5
