    The battery label sticker below the battery shows 1800 mAh for the G900H (octa-core) while it shows 1500 mAh for the G900F (quad- core). Anybody knows why?

      Anonymous, 06 Apr 2017what's the best s5 model? G900F? Some say G900FH, Some say G900F. I say G900H. If you multitask a lot the G900H which is the ONLY version with 8 CPUs compared to the G900F 4 CPUs, gives you better results. Some say the G900F is faster at single tasks operation but I did a test where the dialler opened more quickly on a G900H compared to a G900T which is T-Mobile's version of the G900F.

      All is all any S5 you choose is a winner in terms of speed but take note that not ALL S5 have isocell camera sensors which gives you excellent imaging qualities. The G900H certainly have it but some variants like the G900V (Verizon) seems to use the Sony image sensor.

      It's a jungle out there where the S5 is concerned. I have the G900H and am very happy with it. I have no problems with it whatsoever. It's as good as the day I first took it out of the box which was basically 2 years 6 months ago. You can't go wrong with a S5 and it has more features than the majority of today's phone. Do you comparisons and see for yourself.

        It might algo be hardware. Had something similar to your problem and it was the USA port that didn't work properly. When I connected it to the computer, it would recognize the phone and then stop and recognise again, non stop...

            This phone was too old for me, but processor makes the price will not going down easily
            It because clockspeed of this Galaxy S5 can up to 2.500MHz, that's howmarkable. I admit this phone can handle heavy apps or games with smoothly condition even RAM is not bigger, but playing games without any apps works on background, there is no problem to do it.
            I'm not sure S5 is 100% safe on the water with removable battery on the back, just make sure is firmly sealed :D

Give it a try, if you don't like it, then just get another kind of phone.

                              Has someone incontured a problem when suddenly the phone charges slower than usual, and battery lasts a bit shorter than usual, this happened once, but then the phone reacted normally.. I don't know it it could be a problem with some app that is using battery in background, or the battery issue, or charger or usb cable isue, the carger is genuine samsung one, but cable isn't original, although it charged the phone really well untill now? Thank in advance on your answers..

                                  Still a good choice for 2017. All the bells and whistles for under $200. Updates to Marshmallow 6.0.1. I had a G900A and now a G900T. I like the T a little better because of the software differences. The G900T is also better for my carrier.

                                        I have my S5 G900f which is running kitkat 4.4.2
                                        It has a G900A bootloader , And a G900A baseband.
                                        An AT&T CSC code, and Fingerprint build.
                                        it even has the AT&T software update which Ban me from recieving any OTA update, i'm from morocco and i use it with my maroc telecom SIM card.
                                        but it's running a G900f firmware !
                                        i even took the IMEI i get by dialing *#06# and put it in IMEI checker and it says it's a G900f !
                                        do i have a refurbished phone or a firmware mixed one ?
                                        now , i want to update it to marshmallow.
                                        what model's firmware do you think i should be flashing to update it to marshmallow ?
                                        i'm still confused if i have a G900f or A G900A.
