IPhone nowadays has cheated many users via their backward technology! Overpriced. You only pay their friendly software that almost worthless and you got old technology with 500% markup profit. Only lazy and illiterate people will buy Iphone.

I have owned a samsung galaxy S5 for 3 years, never had any issues. It performs well.

Been using the S5 for 3 years now, credibly can say its a great, reliable phone for short term use.
- MicroSD allows you to increase memory space
- Familiar stock Andriod UI
- Foolproof so long as you get a good screen protector.
- Waterproof too
- Reliable
Problem is, it tends to slow down & overheat VERY fast, esp with newer modern games.
- Camera's total sh*t in dark light conditions
- It doesn't matter if you replace the battery, the older it gets, the more battery it uses. Used to last a day and half, 3 years later and it's less than 16 hrs.
- Overheating.
- Lags & jitters when you're using different apps. (Probably due to its tiny 2 GB RAM)
- takes a long time to connect to wifi (Have to manually switch it on from settings)
There are better phones out there for this price though, but if you're getting it, use it no longer than 2 years, or only a year if its second hand. Hope this helps.

I don't trust Samsung's performance anymore. I believe Iphones are by far a lot better for performance, security and battery life.

No such problems on any other devices, but the s5. Tried everything up to resetting the phone to factory settings, but no success.

How to fix high cpu temperatures above 80c. And with this high cpu temp the flash isn't working. It tells me that I need to lower the temp of my phone. Sometimes it even does this when my phone isn't even warm.

Please if any one have an idea how to install Offline local Radio on S5 without using internet. Again i recommend any one to buy a secondhand S5 Coz i don't think there are a new ones in stores. Very friendly phone.

Excellent phone, ambient light sensor, compass, finger print scanner working fine,
Price is affordable,
Screenshot with scrolling function
The Best part is no store other than Google play store ,
So many Apps are able to uninstall.
I recommend this phone.

Daud Dawn, 12 Sep 2018Look at s5 easy and quick to use.. a) Water proof 1m b) Own setting preferance quick button ... moreS-View cover? I have it and I love it. The phone looks really classy with it too. Also protects the phone and it's very durable. As for auto rotation, I installed Button Mapper and customized my soft keys, but it's easy to switch from the notification bar as well.
