I have this phone for a solid 5 year now. I wanted to share its antutu benchmark after 5 years. (65904) its preety poor in context of 2021 but if you are buying only for calling or some average social media experience then you can do it. I dont necessarily recommend it but i own it right now and its working fine.

Mai Dvices, 22 Feb 2021So, I just bought the Samsung Galaxy S5 G900H (Indonesia) f... moreI've been using the S-View cover since I bought the phone, previous owner had it on the phone too so it's probably 5 years old. It replaces the back plastic cover, still looks great and it's totally durable, the phone is still water resistant (but I wouldn't risk it, it's old) and it has a wireless charging circuit which I haven't tried but should work. Also I have tempered glass on the display, and in case you lose the charger port cover it's $1 free shipping and easy to replace. The phone still works without problems. So, I think there's still some life in yours after a small initial investment. It's a great phone.

So, I just bought the Samsung Galaxy S5 G900H (Indonesia) from someone who desperately needed money. The OS is Original at Android 6.0.1, the battery needs replacement (wrapped in duct tape LOL), the chrome rims are all gone and now bares the greyish plastic underneath. The back cover is all shiny due to grime and sweat from previous owner, the Power button is recessed into the frame but still responsive and the charging port cover is missing.
Just did a Factory Reset and Registered the IMEI to Samsung Website and all is fine. The OS is FINE and DANDY at 6.0.1 and all updates run smoothly. Fingerprint sensor, Menu button all smooth and working well so is the Heart rate sensor.
Any ideas how I should go about salvaging this 25 USD phone? Aside from battery replacement? Am thinking of purchasing the "SAMSUNG S View Cover Galaxy S5 Original" which retails at 5USD but is replacing the entire Casing/Housing recommended?

Anonymous, 13 Feb 2021My samsung S5 works great, but it only connects to WiFi on ... moreOfficially Both 2.4GHz & 5GHz Should Work. You Can Try Rooting It With Custom Rom Or Re-flash Last 6.0 MM Stock Firmware, To Check Whether If The Issue Still Persist. My Device On LineageOS & Works On Both Connection. Worst Case Reset Your Router & Update Your Router Firmware (If Any).

My samsung S5 works great, but it only connects to WiFi on the 2.4Ghz band. According to the spec, it supports 802.11ac, but I cant connect on 5Ghz, any views?

According to SamMobile, some S5 users in Europe using network-locked devices have just received another surprise OTA update a few days ago. No new features were added and no update to security patch level 2017-08-01. A security code has been installed to protect users from being exploited by 3rd party app trackers. WELL DONE SAMSUNG FOR STILL UPDATING 7 YEARS OLD PHONE! 👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍

Samsung Galaxy S5 users from the UK received a surprise update in December 2020, but GSM Arena and many other tech media failed to report about this. This surprise update is NOT a security update as the security patch level is still stuck at 2017-08-01. I guess Samsung must have installed a certification code for this device to prevent it from losing internet access. No other countries have received this surprise update as Samsung end support for S5 in early 2017.

Anonymous, 29 Nov 2020SameVery good phone.
Bought mine December 2015 & still going strong.
Only a few screen freezes and occasional 'sim card removed' messages.
I take great care of my phone and it serves me well.
