Regarding the display of the Galaxy S5 Neo - it is Gorilla® Glass 3 with oleophobic coating.
However it is still glass and could be broken, even sapphire display could be broken too. You should be careful.
The S5 Neo phone is fine - you may check up my review on the next page.

AnonD-633235, 18 Jan 2017Why would I use headphones when what I hear is not a proble... moreI expect under "noise reduction" you mean "background noise reduction".
That is not adjustable indeed, however you may check up if the microphone holes at the bottom and at the top of the phone are clean.
You may check up the instructions in Samsung manual (search for "microphone"):
http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/201608/20160822181432105/SM-G903F_UM_EU_Marshmallow_Eng_Rev.1.0_160708.pdf
There are headphones with external better quality microphone (and background noise cancellation too). It is always a good idea to make a test recording of your voice using external microphone (from different headphones) and compare with a test recording using the internal one. There is always a difference in the low/high voice levels and quality.

MrsH, 14 Jan 2017What can we do to safeguard our data from apps with S5 Neo ?go into settings then notifications you should see a list of apps with what looks like a switch then turn off any app that you think is taking data by flicking the switch to the off position, don't turn off any important ones, for example if you turn of facebook then you wont get msg automatically but they will come on when start up facebook, I recommend turning any games off or it will use data even when you are not playing, just remember that what you switch off you wont get automatically at the top of your screen

It is me talking in low tones into my own phone's mic that is not being picked up. It is like a setting such as "noise reduction" is set on the phone. Is there such a setting on this phone? And if so, how do I remove it?

AnonD-497853, 17 Jan 2017Palita, you may add that you destroyed several other phones... moreWell, it's right, I can be really clumsy and I've dropped many phones in other occasions, I had a Samsung Galaxy 5, two Samsung galaxy SIII mini, a Moto G 2nd gen., Moto G4 and currently a Huawei P9 lite, and I can say, this is the first screen I brake, and I had it inside a case, with a screen protector, and not even the screen protector got broken, just the screen exploded on the inside. The other phones were stealed (damn delinquents!) and still have the galaxy SIII mini and the moto G2. The Moto G4 got damaged because I had to struggle with a guy who tried to take it from me, but still, intact screen
Anyway, I'm glad you got a good device and I hope it never happens to you what happen to my phone, because screen replacement is really expensive ;_;

"-I'm a kind of cellphone destructor but if I'm going on with a too much fancy phone make me a easy target to cellphone burglars"....
Then your post here will not be needed.
My advice to you is to take better care for your gadgets.

I have however much better result with no-name neodymium in-ear headset (with ear hooks, I use them for FM radio). You may try test recording with any on-ear neodymium headphones (with mic) in the shop too (neodymium headphones are always with better bass, there are versions with noise cancellation too).

I just purchased the Samsung S5 Neo as an upgrade from my Samsung S3. The only issue I have is that the microphone is not picking up low noises (which were picked up by my old phone). I speak in a low voice so my parents can hear me as both have hearing problems. With this phone I cannot find in the settings anything that can be changed regarding 'noise cancellation' or a way to set the microphone sensitivity. I tried recording using S Record and again, can barely hear what I am saying. When I speak normally on other calls, others can hear me just fine. Suggestions - can anyone help?

Galaxy S5 Neo has great navigation (GPS/GLONASS, accuracy 4m outdoors) with Nokia Here WeGo (perfect car navigation, free OSM maps for every continent/country), Map Factor Navigator (free OSM maps, car/walking voice navigation) Scout GPS Navigation (1 free OSM map) or Google Maps with offline maps. Perfect car navigation device with an universal smartphone vent mount.
Galaxy S5 Neo FM Radio is great for fitness/walking, perfect fitness companion with running armband (with Samsung Health or Google Fit or Google My Tracks for more details). Later you may use Google Maps + Your Timeline on computer for checkup your daily activity/driving navigation history (with Google account for navigation).
Great for full HD video play with head set (any video format, 64/128GB micro SD card are cheap now, you may download&place videos from youtube/your TV recorder).
Good for ebook reading (Google Play Book, Amazon Kindle).

Without data, you won't get live screen updates on stuff like the Time/Weather widget. Also without data on, your phone will last a lot closer to the advertised standby, talk and use times on their ads as without data is how they calculate those numbers. I personally don't turn data on unless I'm out and about and need it to check a local bus schedule otherwise I turn it off myself.
I'm in Canada and I'm with Freedom (used to be called, Wind Mobility) and I have an unlimited data package but I still choose to turn data off. Besides even with 4G service, the WiFi N network is a lot faster. Plus without data, you'll have to rely on free WiFi hotspots to connect and even then your speed is limited to whatever speed they are giving for free... usually it's a/b/G, but never N or higher.
Plus dropping data from your phone package may not work with that provider as some insist if you have a Smartphone you must purchase phone service with a data package unless you own the phone and are not locked in some plan.
Also dropping data from your service also means you won't be able to use the Hotspot feature to share your internet with others and other devices. When I'm out and about and I require a larger screen to work on, I bring my WiFi only tablet with me and I turn on the Hotspot feature on my phone to give internet access to my tablet. Or share internet with friends who decided to drop or not get a data package themselves.

You may check-up if you phone (SM-G903W) has the latest specific software version for your service provider (https://samsung-firmware.org/model/SM-G903W/). There could be provider relevant software version feature needed.
