But in simple words we don't need the removable battery feature just to have a separate battery all the time with us but we need this to easily replace it by removing back cover when the old battery degrades over time.
And that's why the latest and greatest phones can't beat our S5 in terms of features. The trend is going in wrong way, maybe good for rich but not for us general people!

Great when out and about and you have a spare one in your wallet to keep powered on.
That's why I will never upgrade to S6 S7 or S8 UNTIL YOU CAN HAVE A REMOVABLE BATTERY!

Anonymous, 09 Aug 2017Yes we can't accept the odd trend of non removable battery ... moreDo you know that non-removable battery and battery with low life do have reasons.
That is in cooperation with power bank manufacturer to have business.
I do not like and buy power bank.
Rather i charge to as much as possible before going out.
Once wake up and check if low as below 50% then put to charger to charge.
As most battery may drop as it is not wise to charge at night, as if forgotten to remove the charger before sleep, then beware of the consequences of phone & battery issues.

anonymous, 12 Aug 2017Me too when i charge my S5 it show red on the notification ... moreThere is no need to wait for green light as long as it is near or reached 100% then better to remove the charger as it may wear the battery faster.
Usually i will charge when below 50% or when i wake up and preparing to go out.
In this way, there is no need to use power bank as charging & using at the same time may not good for phone as heat will build up faster.
Even it is not yet 100% i still will remove the charger and go out.
The charging to 100% is the bad myth, as phone do not wish to charge in this way.
When the charging reach 99% it could take 1 hour or more to reach 100%.
It was reported, as i had read, that this is to avoid putting the phone charging too fast as in over-charged.
As in this way, it drag the charging time for you to remove the charger to avoid over-charged which may not suitable to both battery and phone.
Hence it is not in reality to actually charged to exact 100% and wait for the green light.
As we are not driving car which have to wait for green light to tell you it is safe to move.
That is why sometimes we may forgotten about the phone is completed charging.
It is not like in olden days where battery have to be dry before charge and have to charge to the max 100% before remove from the charger.
So long as you are not using the phone and battery is less, say, 50% then proceed to charge the phone and leave it until fully charged.
BUT do not charge overnight and ensure the power supply do have surge protection to avoid being burnt.

Anonymus, 07 Aug 2017Good day Sir....fellow Singaporean. Most appropriate to ask... moreFellow Singaporean, just go and get Samsung S5 as suitable for local use with 4G LTE.
Just bought mine $200 today as a good bargain.
It is rooted to LineageOS on Android 7.1.2 as no bloatware whatsoever.

Suggest To Charge (90-95%) Everytime To Preserve Battery Life.

Graphics is not very high, high-end games will not run smooth. Also, It will become slow after (heavy) use for about one year, simply backup and reset to default.
IR, wireless signals is good, waterproof, solid and it just feels almost premium. Get this boy with 2 spare batteries, 64GB SD Card and you all set for a long period of time. Anything happens simply Google it and Boom tens of solution results.

Hi guys. Good day to all. Still holding on to my Sam. Galaxy S5 local Singapore Telco set. Just got an upgrade to Android 6.0 Marshmallow nearly 2 months ago. Everything is running smooth. No complaint and no negative feedback with the new Android 6.0, this is still the "Killer Beast" of Samsung phones. Best phone ever

anonymous, 06 Aug 2017Need honest advice and opinion. Should o get this or the so... moreS5 I Used For Gaming. As For S6 I Used It For App (Due To Lack Of SD, Lucky Still Have 64GB/128GB Variant, Otherwise 32GB Is Too Low For Me In My Opinion!
As For Camera Of Cos S6 Perform Better! Likewise S5 Is Also Great At The Same Time With Same Rear Cam As S6. Anything Below S3 (Low-Mid Phone) Is Low End Phone..........
