        Love this phone...still works like a champ, people always look pretty amaze when I tell them its a Galaxy s5, I wish Samsung would make this size still with their higher end Galaxy . it seems like the phones are getting to big...and not everyone likes Bluetooth headphones, some like to plug in...but thank you Samsung for building a great phone.

                              Samsung galaxy S5 was my favorite phone, i didnt own it but it was my dream phone in 2014. in 2014 the phone was cost around 50,000. currently am using poco f1 which is more powerfull and worth it for the price.

                                  The Galaxy S5 is my favorite Samsung phone, the Note 3 and 4 were too big.. the S4 was pretty laggy. It wasn’t that much of an upgrade from the Galaxy S4 and it was more like a Galaxy 4.5, but the water-resistance feature was what people really talked about. Samsung phones have a TON of preloaded bloatware apps, and the S5 only has 16GB of storage but in reality, you get very little space (I think only 9-10GB)... so using the Galaxy S5 today is not very enjoyable as much due to the limited space to install apps.. yes, the micro SD card helps and you can move some apps to the SD card, but even with that, there’s very limited space for apps (not all apps can be moved to the SD card). I use an app called “package disabler pro” which helps remove some of the bloatware apps so it frees up RAM and helps save battery. The Galaxy S5 has an IR blaster so you can change TV channels (or whatever uses IR).. the built in remote app no longer works but there is a 3rd party app which you can use. I love the flat screen of the S5, plus the added bezels.. it looks cool and it’s easy to install a screen protector, nowadays with curved screens and small bezels, it has become difficult. The S5 is the last Samsung phone I will ever get, they have now removed the headphone jack, micro SD card, and no longer gives a charger in the box. This is why I now only use LG phones, they are basically what Samsung used to be.

                                    Matthew, 13 Mar 2021See the price, back before flagship phones were 250 - 300 Euros. now they are 1500 euros. You should blame Apple for higher smartphone prices. Remember, they were the first to price their iPhone X at $1000 which nowadays is the standard. The Galaxy S5 was about $550-$600 USD in the US.

                                        idgaf about the specs. This is by far my favorite phone. It wasn't annoying, it was easy to use, everything about it made sense. Simple and to-the-point, no messing around with unnecessary menus and popups and feature and programs that just slow you down. Now we need bendy screens and touchscreen buttons and mfing BIXBY. I want to go back.
