Harry, 03 May 2017Great phone, but if you are one of the unlucky ones, it has... moreTo HARRY:

What many persons tend to forget (and I suspect you may be one such person) is that there are two variants of the S5 camera. One is the ISOCELL version and one is the SONY version. I have the version with the ISOCELL sensor. There's a vast difference in image quality between the two.

A friend of mine was inspired to get an S5 due to the high image qualities of my photos. They got one but their S5 image didn't came out as clear as mine. I realise they got the version with the SONY image sensor.

I don't have blurriness problems with my S5 whether I focus manually or let it automatically focus for me. To be fair, there are a few times an image may bot be focused but it's not a common affair...and every camera have their times...even standalone dedicated cameras. 3/4 of the time my camera take excellent photos.

    It takes 1hr. 55mins. to charge the S5 from 0-100%. That's not too long if you ask me.

    I had a S2 which came with a 1650 mAh battery and that took 3hr. 10mins. to charge.

    The S5 comes with a 2800 mAh battery and charges under 2 hours. That's not bad if you ask me.

    Based on the endurance review from GSMArena, yes both the A5 (2016) and A3 (2017) has a longer battery endurance, but in life you give and take. You will have to measure it all up and decide which of the three phones suits your needs best. It's as simple as that. Keep us posted in letting us know which phone you went for and how the experience is going for you.

                The S5 all the way. It's still a flagship with premium specifications. Compared to both 'A' series you asked about, the S5 still offers exquisite features over them:

                1. S5 has UHD video recording (2160p) opposed to 1080p@30FPS for both 'A' series. Not to mention the S5 offers 1080p up to 60FPS and not just 30FPS like both 'A' series.

                2. S5 has a vast amount of sensors over both 'A' series.

                3. S5 has heart rate scanner (first smartphone in the world to introduce it).

                4. S5 is the first and only Galaxy S to offer USB 3.0 (S6,S7 and S8 doesn't have it). USB 3.0 speeds up data tranfers via computer (computer must have USB 3.0 ports to get the faster speed) 10 times faster than USB 2.0.

                5. S5 is water resistance.

                There you have it. 5 reasons to get the S5. "I have 5 on it" and you should too.

                  Great phone, but if you are one of the unlucky ones, it has an absolutely terrible camera due to it's inability to focus / defocus as the shot is taken.
                  If a camera is important to you, then avoid this one completely, unless you like to take high resolution, but very blurry images 80% of the time.

                              For moving apps to the SD card: Did you go to Settings/Application Manager/Downloaded and check the app in question? Some of them aren't capable of being moved. There should be a Move to SD Card for the ones that are.
