System memory refers to RAM. You meant to say storage memory right?

You have to install a custom recovery which voids the warranty of the phone - but then again, this is a two-three year old device, there is no warranty.
    LineageOS is an AOSP ROM and works just fine on the S5.

              There are many tricks you can perform with the S5 but you would be better off googling it, As for Nougat the S5 won't be getting it. The deal for Android phones is two years worth of upgrade. The S5 came with KitKat, got upgraded to Lollipop and finally Marshmallow. There will be no more updates for it.

                                  Yes I still use it up to this day. I'm yet to see a reason to upgrade. It's a solid feature rich device which stands up to many flagships today. The S5 is probably the most under-rated S series to date. It does more than non-owners would think. I can never get enough of it.

                                      anonymous, 19 Apr 2017this is one of the best. still very good and does not look old if carefully taken care of.You are right. The S5 can still stand up to today's flagships. Monday of this week made it exactly two and a half years since I have my S5 and it still looks brand new with the only peeling being on the USB flap which is expected seeing that for the most part you have to open it and close it on a daily basis.
