I had s5 for 5+ years The CPU (snapdragon version) is great but the bottleneck was the 2gb RAM which always filled up quickly and made the phone chug However, custom roms (aosp based) were very stable and gave it whole new lives to live, with considerable speed boost while losing some of samsung features (especially the camera being worse in aosp-base roms... like most phones with unofficial camera apps)

I loved my Galaxy S5. I wouldn't have replaced it in 2019 if it didn't fall screen down directly on a concrete corner and tear a hole in the display. The battery was swapped in 2017 for an extended battery and a corresponding larger case, which is something you can't do with today's phones. Instead now you buy the phone with the longest possible battery life you can and hope that you get good luck on the battery lottery before it does goofy stuff like shut off at 30% and only last through 4 hours of screen on time which causes you to need to deal with a difficult and expensive battery replacement which usually leads to a phone swap.

The Galaxy S5 era was great! The GS5 was great. I loved the age of phones with every possible feature. I miss IR blasters, replaceable batteries, and SD card support on premium devices. Yes, Touchwiz was gross. Yes, the plastic build was too practical, but the "band-aid" back plate was easily replaceable. The camera was the first ISO cell tech camera, I believe. It is a solid snapper. The low resolution selfie camera even takes solid day time pics. I did a picture walk with one recently. The snaps are overly saturated, but they shine in spite of (or b/c) of that!

I'm still using S5 LTE as main phone on LineageOS 18.1 (Android 11). Everything still works: 3.5mm jack, microphone, USB port, SD-card reader, screen without scratches (never used screen protector). USB flap cover was lost during 1st year. Shining silver paint flew off mid life. Plastic back cover chipped on some contact points, but still hooks strong. 3 times changed the battery. The main downside is only 550MB of 2GB memory are available for apps (the rest is being used by OS and swap). Watching how the same apps grew in requirements over the years, it's hard to multitask without ram swap to eMMC penalties. Everything else is solvable. Low internal storage can be extended with microSD. Replaceable batteries are hard to find - Chinese knock offs don't last as long as original cells made in Korea. Phone cameras got huge leap over the years (but I don't care about photography on smartphones). Finally it's probably the time to upgrade after faithful 10 years of service. Can't decide for new compact phone between: Samsung Galaxy S24 (hard to get Snapdragon variant with eSIM), Google Pixel 9 Pro (weak power efficiency due to Samsung's fabrication of Tensor 4 SoC), upcoming Sony Xperia 5 VI (uncomfortable 21:9 aspect ratio and only 3 years of software updates. but heck this phone still has headphone jack and card reader), Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 (afraid of nail scratching screens feature :) I bet my new phone wouldn't last for next 10 years. They don't build with longevity in mind these days. Thanks team XDA for honest review of my beloved phone. Signing on every word, except click-bate title "Samsung's Worst Flagship💀" XD

I had imported the LTE-A version of the Galaxy S5 from South Korea back in the day and lemme tell you, it was a great phone. It had an updated processor and 3 GB of RAM instead of the 2 GB of the international version. The only thing that was a bit of a hassle was having a few apps that used different and less accurate positioning services like the weather widget.

HTC phones where pretty looking , as far as the galaxy 8 series go , I had an S8+ , and that was a killer phone imo , it was the first galaxy to use dex , and back around the same release date time my PC shit itself , I was already going to get the S8+ so I bought it and the official Dex dock and a usb dock , and my S8 became my PC of a night and carry around during the day , and it was awesome ! Any data or photos or video you picked up on the phone during the day , you come home insert the phone into the fan cooled dock that also charged the phone and 15 or 20 seconds later you had everything on your big monitor ready to go , dex software was fairly new then and had some issues that required the odd work around as on certain functions, but it was easy , and having your phone as your pc and daily has distinct benefits. The S8 series had a good camera too with the only gripe for me which was on a bright sunny day with the sun in shot , nearly always there would be an orange tennis ball in the pic/lens flare anomaly 😂, other than that it was pretty cool. And I might add to this day if you have a gorgeous black S8+ give it’s shiny body a wash with soap and water and admire the magnificent almost cohesive river rock like case design with no ugly protrusions and shimmery black phone body , it was a serious work of art by Samsung , 2K screen, headphone jack, SD card , iris scanner , rear finger print sensor , heart rate sensor, SPO2 , bixby button , 15 watt wired charging , QC2 wireless charging, USB type C 3.1 ( are you jealous Apple😊) . For an S model the only thing it was missing was dual speakers , but the single speaker was quite decent. It was a truly beautiful work of art phone , and I have it on charge right next to me and it’s on the original 2017 battery that still works ok that I absolutely used to death as my daily and my pc for 1.5 years . Sorry mate , the htc was not even in the race.

I liked the old Samsung phones, my first ever was a galaxy note 2 , and that was an expensive phone back in the day, removable back with swappable battery, and it had provision to use wireless charging which I actually used, not bad for 2012 . Back in those days I used to customise the hell out of my phones , I do remember ( vaguely) software of those days being somewhat buggy , but that was par for the course. I actually liked the big bezels which made it extremely easy to handle , and the plastic case with the big almost bumper bar like thick rounded plastic sides took an absolute beating, bouncing off the cement many a time without even a scratch on the phone. I used that phone for two years until the note 4 came out and the note 4 edge , and I gave the note 2 to my little brother who used it for another year or two . One of the things I liked about the old Samsung phones, Samsung just threw everything but the kitchen sink in them. I always thought that the S5 was pretty cool having the removable battery and IP67 water and dust resistance, , the note was a bit more specced up though as you would expect , even the note 4 was higher specced in most ways . I’d like to see a review of the note 4 and note 4 edge , I had the note 4 , and it was a good phone after a bit of tweaking and getting rid of that lagging flip board 😂. Living in Australia with a lot of sun , I used to use the UV sensor on the note4 , Sammy had an app to rate how nasty the UV’s were which was handy.

If you used the US models of course it was due to the cramming in of bloatware by the carriers

It was not an age of cheap looking phones. It was just Samsung being Samsung. You had HTC, Sony, Motorola and Apple making aluminum and glass phones, and even with wood, as well as aluminum Nokia Lumias. All them a couple of years before the S5. This was only a Samsung thing. Samsung (and LG too) phones were just bad taste and cheap looking. The S6 stop being plastic, but the bad taste continued till the S8. Before that phone, they had really unhappy color combinations, like a lot of chrome, mustard looking "gold", saturated light blue, and all with a pattern texture printed behind the glass. They have a lot of branding too, and the bad taste continued with the software. With the S8 they start cleaning up the mess, removing the front Samsung Logo, the chrome on the earpiece and the body frame, using black screen frames, and lowering the tone with the software (a little bit).

Nokia's had plastic as well. The benefit was no need for a bulky case and no need to go to a repair shop to replace the battery

@@DavidNgo86 Nokia had much better perceived quality in their plastic. They didn't use chromed plastic, or brushed metal like plastic (thinks Samsung still do on their TVs for example). If it was plastic, it looked like plastic, with much better design too. However, by the time the galaxy S5 was launched, the Lumia 925 with an aluminum frame had a year on the market. And plastic has nothing to do with repairability or a need of a case. There are repairable metal phones, and plastic wears out faster than metal. In fact, most Samsung phones from that era had the chrome ripped off in the corners.
