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.

got my samsung s5 klte on a custom rom evo x 4.5 android 10 and been rocking it as a secondary a few years and it's been really good. with cpu and gpu overclocks and a 500mb swap file (to avoid crashing) the antutu score is +85k and it's really smooth on really anything. the only issue is the processor being 32 bit and needing to tweak around with everything to make it work properly. otherwise i could use this as a main easily

The Samsung J5 is like lagging. Not pretty good. Got a torch and a camera. And a front camera. Has Google Gmail. Just update to Android 6.0 and it will feel like a regular phone. Pretty good fast charging using Apple 5W Charger. I'be been using it for 9 years, so far, so good (I have the golden edition).

I'm very unhappy and annoying why Samsung discriminate old devices in terms of software updates.😡
S5 and note 7 got the same 6.0 marshmallow update, but S5's 6.0 feels laggy and very old-fashioned while note 7's 6.0 looks so mordernized and feels smooth and functional.😭

After 10 years of performance it's time for deployment of my favourite phone.
I got it in June 2014 and since then it travelled around the world, always in a waterproof case,the first 4 years as my main device.
I upgraded to the S10+ 1TB which is still active as a backup now.
On 2023'i got the S23 Ultra 1TB which is absolutely a top piece of equipment.
My experience more than a decade with Samsung devices including some much older models is first the confidence of a very reliable device and high standards.
I have also experienced very high standard support especially from the Oxford Street Samsung shop.
Hopefully I'm considering purchasing the new S25 this summer!
And life goes on with a new Galaxy!

Mine lags a bit TOO much, my s4 works alot better...
I think that's just because of updates, also I feel like a lot of the features customization wise was removed from the s4 (lock screen customization, more pattern appearance options though!)
I think it just might be MY personal phone that sucks because it's not meant to be bad, it's meant to run as good or as better than the phone before it, and I hope that is the case
Phone function decent but gets hot on my end

Anonymous, 14 Jun 2024There should be a setting for this. Settings>Connections... moreI had a similar problem with my S5, especially when 5G became available. The following worked for me, but after trying these and if you still have a problem, you might sit down with your network carrier to review all connection aspects. First try these: Go to Settings, More Networks, Mobile Networks, Network Mode and make sure LTE/CDMA is selected. Then backup to Settings, and go to Advanced Calling, then Advanced Calling (again) and make sure Advanced Calling is turned ON, then select HD Voice only (do not select HD Voice and Video Calling). I would reboot after these changes. After Reboot, go back to Settings, About Phone, Status, and make sure Network shows your carrier, Moble Type should show LTE, and Mobile Network State should show "Connected". You should be on 4G instead of 3G (as shown at the top of your home screen). If still no luck, you will probably need to talk to your carrier (or test another S5 phone with your SIM card inserted in it). Hop this helps!

SamsungLove, 16 Jun 2023very good phojne even now, just bttery life is horrible as ... moreOn my S5 i got around the battery problem by buying the extended battery and case "the battery is crap, so toss it), i bought a LightningCell battery, which "hangs on like relatives looking for a money handout" down to 1% and can still pop off screenshots at that "but doesn`t last a full day", i then added an Oppo A52 battery and and old laptop battery which is the same as a Nintendo Switch - battery-HAC-003 and it runs for 15~18hrs on youtube in full screen and brightness. Now all i need to do is 1: get around making it work on VoLTE and 2: upgrade the OS to at least Android 9 "the HungryJacks app Wants 9 to run". Then i`ll keep it till 4G in Australia ends in 2030..
