This review is posting after using this device for 10 months and this is completely based on my experiences
Pros.
.Good rear camera
.4k recording capability
.Display viewing angle is excellent
.Blacks are really good(Thanks to super amoled display)
.HeartRate monitor is present
.Has a lot of sensors in it
.Many custom roms are available(Not recommended to use)
.IP67 certification is present
.FingerPrint scanner is present
Cons.
.Poor battery life
.Poor front camera
.Lacks 4g
.Lacks dual sim
.Plastic built
.FingerPrint sensor is very average
.Heating issues are present
.Lacks OIS
.Phone lags everytime
Overall Opinion.
Do not buy this phone in 2018+ because this phone was a flagship phone when it was released now it is becoming unusable in 2018. If you dont want any 4g or good front camera and the cons listed above is not a problem for you then go for it. I highly recommend you all to avoid this phone in 2018+.
Note.
I am giving this review after using this device for past 10 months and i listed every single problems and good things which i faced while using this phone
THANK YOU FOR READING

The good thing about these older handsets (especially the S5) is they are cheap, has most of the features of modern phones (like a fingerprint reader) has USB 3 (like the Note 3) and you can connect it to a TV with an MHL cable. I paid £60 (US $83) for it and apart from a few scratches on the screen It's a 8 out of 10 for the rest of it.

Probably the best Phone Samsung ever made. You'll get a good two days use out of the battery, and it's the last phone they made that has a replaceable battery. Factory spares are less then 8 dollars on Amazon. Too easy...
I've been in cell phones literally since they first came out in 82. My first smartphone was a Galaxy S-3 and I didn't like it. I couldn't text on it because it was too sensitive. This phone was the first to fix that.
The S-5 is so impressive I replaced my entire family with them and even keep spares and have needed one. My wife dropped hers on concrete and cracked the screen.
If you compare specs even to the new S-8, this phone is still running easily with it. Highly recommended.

I had my S5 since May 2014. Not planing to get a new one any time soon, still running strong. Battery was changed about 6 months ago, it's not great, but there is a usb plug everywhere this days.
Could anyone tell us what is the best version of Android for the S5? I run Lollipop (5.0)
