Yes ,
1.it even has 4K camera but for basic videography 1080p will be best if camera hasn't been damaged.
2.Can use as a Retro Emulation Device ( GameCube, PS2, Game-boy , PSP ,etc)
3.Use as secondary backup phone because it has Removable battery while still maintaining the slim factor
4. Has IR Blaster - Can be used as Universal Remote Control Device
5.Had AMOLED Full HD Display back then, still not bad in 2023 ( considering $160-$220 phone coming with 720p Display even in 2023 )
6.Has a Lot Of Sensors including Barometer

My opinion for this phone in 2023:
I'm still very impressed about this phone! Even today, it's not so bad. In my opinion, I still think it's actually kind of worth it! 4K, good display, decent ram, and very good 2.5 QC hardware. I know it only has android 6, but still, you have some capability with downloading apps. It feels good, it works not too bad, and a lot of other things. This is a good phone for kids, and people who just want a simple phone. However, the battery is not good at all, and most of the variants only have 16GB of ram, but you can add an SD card in. It can be a little bit laggy at times, though. But other than that, it's a decent phone.

Small phone lover, 18 Mar 2023I really love my s5, currently running lineageos 18.1 full ... moretake a look at some of the compact Xperias, they generally offer good custom ROM support and you can even flash Sony's own AOSP builds if that's your taste. The A 2017 Samsung series are also decent, the A3 being the smallest. Awesome build quality and ergonomics, though it's stuck on Android 10 for a couple of years now. Also the Galaxy A40 is decently sized (somewhere in the S5 range), though it's a modern Samsung with a notched display so not that good

I really love my s5, currently running lineageos 18.1 full root so it is still useable, however the battery life isnt much so i cannot daily drive it.
Which phone would you recommend for me?
I want a small form factor, good battery life, 3.5mm and a micro sd slot. Thats basically all I care about :)

best samsung phone ever, it had a remote control app where you can turn off any tv you like. I used to turn off tvs at sports bars with the app where people watch matches, it was hilarious

UltraHD, 30 Oct 2022You bought a 8 year old device and wonder why it doesn'... moreWhy wouldn't they, the phone is capable of doing those things.
I still use a Galaxy S5 and have since it was released - I have unlimited data, VoLTE, and use it as a mobile hotspot while away from home to stream movies and game online on my laptop. The S5 is a very capable device.

Anonymous, 31 Dec 2022Via the calling codes. It may not be really related.Ok, I got it.
There are some Android/phone related codes which appear automatically, like *#06# which should show you IMEI IDs of the phone's 2 SIM slots.
But, the network operator codes need to be dialed (you enter the code and press the connect call button)
And they've both been working ok in my older Nokia phones, 8 year old Android based Redmi 2 Prime and my recent LG phone. So, it doesn't seem to be phone's issue.
So, try confirming this with your network operator's retail outlet, maybe the codes have changed.
