    Are you sure you have a genuine S5? If it's genuine, is it branded to T-Mobile, AT&T etc.?

      Quite surprised seeing all the comments about fluidity. Mine has so much lag it's unbearable. I even hard reset it and it's no better. Even opening the phone dialer can take even upto 2 secs.

        Galaxy S5(exynos) was released in India for Rs. 51000 (~ $800). I have bought this phone last year for Rs.12000 (~ $188). Only negative was the old software and the lack of support for it. Anyway i updated it to marsmallow(stock touchwiz) and reset the phone. It is running smoothly ever since. For this price, it has waterproofing, a great camera(for this price segment) and also removable battery.

                I guess the S5 has stopped receiving monthly security updates. My last update was for the month of April.

                  Samsung should learn from xiomy how to optimise the ram and improve battery life.

                                    Got the April security update (222.21MB),so far the phone feel fast, I don't know if I'm seeing it that way.But general fluidity is good, with battery I can't notice any difference much..not draining TOO fast and not staying too LONG to drop off a percentage either, I will post a second review of the battery here as fast as I can.
