I have had an S5 Neo since it's launch. I smashed the screen on one, so I bought a new one and have been running it ever since.
It's the perfect size. I really, really wish they would update this configuration.
It's the Toyota Tacoma of the phone world.

This was a great phone and it’s to bad I couldn’t make it go longer. Unfortunately I was unable to update apps and the operating system otherwise I would have kept it going for another 8 years 👍😎

A real pice of crap. Less than 1 year of use, already presented issues. Dead pixels in the main camera, slow, it crashed frequently and the battery was bad before 2 years of use.

I had recently a software update problem with my Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo - in August I received a software update and clicked OK to be installed.
The update started apps optimisation endlessly [app 11 to app 17] for hours. It could not start normal work and could no longer function normally.
I sent it for repair to Samsung (Europe). Received it from Samsung without fixing the problem. After two months trying to receive any information, finally received information from Samsung that my mobile phone is not possible to repair.
I tried to use Samsung SmartSwitch desktop app for software reset, however SmartSwitch was not supporting this mobile phone anymore.
Finally I managed to fix myself - just pressing all the 3 keys Power-VolumeUP-DisplayButton and after that performing Google Android recovery with wipe data/factory reset. The mobile phone was successfully reset to the initial Android version 6.0.1.
I like this mobile phone - it works for telephone calls, FM Radio, driving/walking navigation, works fine with all the necessary apps, not very heavy.

My wife has had this phone since 2016. She loves it. Although I keep telling her that she's going to have to change soon because she's stuck at Android 7.0 so she can't take advantage of a lot of things, and it doesn't support VoLTE, so it's a real nightmare when we travel to the U.S. (we're from Canada). Last time she had to switch to LTE/WCDMA/GSM, but the call quality was pretty crappy .

Had this from 2014. It is now August 2022 and I am looking to upgrade to a newer phone as the GPS sat vav map stopped working.
Its waterproof and has a replaceable battery. What more does a man need?
Only weakness is an older 8 core processor and 2GB of RAM.
Really good phone for people who just need it to work, I am a builder so need waterproof and dependable.

It was an okay phone I had for five years but it's really outdated compared to modern phones in terms of everything, especially the camera.

Double Anoymous, 30 Dec 2020I got the Galaxy S5 SM-G901F, Is it worth getting a Galaxy ... moreIt's up to you to decide.
The G901F has the following over the S5 Neo:
- A 4-core processor that performs better in single core tasks.
- Better graphics processor.
- A rear facing camera with more features, most significantly features for video recording.
- An infrared (IR) transmitter.
- Micro USB 3.0 (a cable with a different connector is required for 3.0), and support for MHL.
- A (terrible) fingerprint sensor, and barometer and compass sensors.
The S5 Neo has the following over the G901F:
- An 8-core 64-bit Exynos processor (although it unfortunately runs 32-bit Android) that performs better in multi-core tasks.
- More up-to-date firmware with a newer 3.10 kernel.
- Probably slightly better display.
- eMMC storage that has faster read and write speeds.
- A rear facing camera which might take slightly better photos. Main difference from G901F's camera appears to be its wider aperture.
- A considerably better 5MP front facing camera.
- Support for Bluetooth 4.1, while the G901F apparently has 4.0.
- FM radio.
...and probably a few more insignificant things that I've missed.
I've personally bought a used S5 Neo, and plan to run LineageOS on it.
