anonymous, 26 Jun 2017agree with you this person just slandering the S% and like ... moreTo what he/she said about battery life, I will repeat this once more...most times on a fully charged battery I am able to get 2 hours 30 minutes of on screen time with 50% battery life remaining which theoretically means it's possible to get 5 hours on screen time on a full charge, give and take, which is amazing seeing that my battery will be 3 years old come October 17th.

          After 2 years with this phone I will never buy a Samsung again. It freezes constantly, Facebook feels very sluggish and even unlocking is slow. Battery life is nothing to brag about either. Goodbye Sammy

              anonymous, 24 Jun 2017Yeah but the samsung S% looks damn good too and more fluid ... moreBased on GSMArena's test the S5 is louder than the Z3.
              S5 - Voice 70.5dB / Noise 66.6dB / Ring 78dB (since Lollipop update)
              Z3 - Voice 69dB / Noise 66dB / Ring 67dB

              Personally, every Z series I have heard in the past were low...though I haven't heard the Z3 personally so I will take GSMArena's words for it

                  I agree with you. I have preached your very words over and over again. It may just be the very best smartphone of all time.

                  I keep finding out new stuff which makes it even more fun and makes it feel like new all over again and again.

                  Battery is amazing. I have mine since 2014 and never changed the battery yet the battery can easily last me for an entire day even with fairly heavy use in the camera and camcorder department.

                  Most times on a fully charged battery I am able to get 2 hours 30 minutes of on screen time with 50% battery life remaining which theoretically means it's possible to get 5 hours on screen time on a full charge, give and take, which is amazing seeing that my battery will be 3 years old come October 17th.

                  The S5 motto is 'My life Powered By My S5' and that statement is so true as it's good for work or play and will handle anything you throw at it and keep going on and on and on.

                    3) The ringtone and sound is louder.

                            I have had many phones over the years with my Galaxy S5 being my normal day to day phone and a host of iPhones and other Androids and newer Samsungs as my business ones. The Galaxy S5 is undoubtedly the GREATEST one of all the phones I have had. I know there have been the odd issue arising with other people but overall it is a dependable device. It never lags, it is smooth, silky and quick. It is unbelievably reliable and I have dropped it many times and it does not break.Water and dust resistant. There is not a single problem I can name with this phone and I have had it since launch date in 2014. The so-called newer flagships by Samsung, Apple and Moto etc. can go to shame. This is the best, most reliable phone you can get. I truly mean it. My Samsung Galaxy S5 still works as good as new. Probably the best, most reliable Samsung phone ever made - maybe even Smartphone in general

                              Still running Galaxy S5 the W8 (Canada version) on a custom ROM, blazing fast and still better then the new ones , that none of them is making me update anytime soon. In the same time I am still enjoying LTE on the phone to the max I can get (80 Mbps) :)

                                      I have this phone and loved it, but like many others had screen issues. At first it would flicker, found a solution for that, but then it came back and at the start would need a few tries to turn on. Now it takes about fifty tries and is thus extremely unreliable, have gotten lost and was late for an appointment because I couldn't use my phone. Samsung refuses to replace the screen and generally were rude, unhelpful and ignored my questions and didn't answer them, assumed it was my fault even though I treated the phone with uttermost care. Screen replacement would have cost several hundred dollars so I decided to go back to my old S3mini. My dad has the same phone and no issues, but I have heard of several people with the exact same problem. Won't buy Samsung again.

                                        I have a SM-G900F model which is heavily modified and its performance was measured by AnTuTu with a score of 73.844, thanks to:
                                        - No Limits 6.1 ROM (debloated)
                                        - Boeffla Kernel 2.4 (S POWER performance profile)
                                        - Adreno GPU Driver updated
                                        - No Limits Tweaks

                                        It's a great phone, even in stock. Now let's see if there will be an Android O Custom ROM for this Snapdragon 801-powered phone.
