It's no wonder this phone's processor (Qualcomm Snapdragon 801) was used in the Ingenuity helicopter sent to Mars with the Perseverance rover.

I would say both platform is quite stable, just that it is about choosing side. It is glad that after almost that same period, there are many other Android smartphone to choose from, and no longer have to switch to more expensive smartphone where cheaper smartphone just get better and better.

                      I did not like this phone. It was full of bugs and glitches that made me happy to go back to iPhone. The design didn’t not feel clean enough at the time. Plastic back is durable but felt cheap.

                          Looking back, this might actually be the best designed phone ever. Dust and water resistance but extremely easily removable battery (compared to phones nowadays), a great size and weight too. While I can appreciate the glass designs of today, I really wish more phones were still made like this. Add an aluminum frame like Note 4 or Galaxy Alpha, but keep the back plastic for the easily removable battery. The LG G5 was also an interesting concept because it had a full aluminum body and still removable battery. I‘ve always thought it would be pretty much perfect if a glass back could attach magnetically like the front glass on the Unibody iMacs from before 2012, so it’s still glass but can also be removed if needed without heating or cutting glue. I hope one day the EU forces manufacturers to actually find a way to make the back easily removable again. There is a way to keep the battery in place already but remove it if needed with a battery and small jump starter cables which is in iPhone 16 and 16e. So why should the phone companies not be able to find a good solution for the back glass as well while keeping water resistance.

                              Some would call this (mostly me) "The last Frutiger Aero phone ever made."

It does not overheat as well with the assistance of power saving profiles care of the SaverTuner app. It is much thanks to the ROM developer that he still included the S5 to have a taste of Android 14 and I'm glad that I installed it without slowdowns and overheating.

                                    I’m still using this as a second phone, and backup device, runs totally fine for my purposes, can load most apps I need, sure its not fast by modern standards, that doesn’t bother me, nor does android 6 or touch wiz, this the S3, S4 and Note 4, are still my favorite Samsung devices.
