S5 Neo vs S6 which one is better ?
Comparing these two models , there is no like s6 is 10000000x better then s5 neo, few things are missing from S6 and added to S5 Neo and vice - versa. Read a lot of comments and people change phones from s6 to s5 neo and saying is better. What's your opinion guys ?

This phone DOES have am FM Radio, a default app called: "Radio" with a picture of an old looking radio, but be aware, you will need your headphones plugged in to use it, even on loud speaker only, as it uses the cable of the headphones as the antenna also.

Just got this phone last Friday, so far i like it.
Not such great speed for an octacore, but it's ok, as this saves a lot of battery life.
Battery life seems decent, also dropped in the good old Nova Launcher instead of the default one and things got a tad faster.
Used it quite a bit with some no-name VR Glasses, the experience was smooth and nice, the sensors work very well and the image is sharp and clear, as expected from a Full HD panel.
Sits nice in my palm even if I've got small hands, the battery lasts ok so far, after two full days of moderate usage i was at 61%, so that's quite cool.
Does not overheat even when used for VR Gaming, another forte for this handset.
Lots of bloatware in the original firmware from my local carrier, but I've disabled most of it.
Decent handset, good looking, ok battery life, nice screen, interesting to very good camera in both photo and video modes and on both the front and the main camera, replaceable battery if i will need this and i can say i like the fact that i will not have a heart attach if i drop a glass of water on it by accident, as i am a bit clumsy sometimes :)))
A very clear upgrade from my previous Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini, that is still one of my favorite handsets ever.
Me likey Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo!

Recently got an S5 Neo, the phone works ok but I think either the headphone is faulty or there is some comparability issue with my headphones.
I have PSB headphones, with the noise reduction on there is a mass of hissing and "white noise" in the background, it is not that noticeable with nr off, but wit it on the music sounds bad.
I tried those same headphones in a Samsung S6 and there is no problem at all, sounds great.
I copied music from the S5 to the S6 (in case it was the music) and what sounds bad on the S5 sounds great on the S6
I copied music from the SD card in the S5 onto the actual phone (S5) and the white noise is still there
Using normal (low quality) ear buds on the S5 and the music seems muted and not clear.
So either a faulty phone or the quality of the soun in the S5 is lacking (ill find out tomorrow as a replacement is coming). Hopefully it is a faulty device as I generally really like Samsung and although the S7 can carry a SD Card it is expensive (the S6 doesnt have a slot for an SD Card).
I used my phone as a music player too so it is essential I have decent quality audio.

I have only had this phone a couple of months. I had an update a couple of weeks ago and now my phone is running really slow. My daughter got the same phone at the same time and hers is running very slow as well. Any idea why as it is really frustrating.

I am thinking of buying an S5 Neo. I saw a comment that the phone freezes after an alarm goes off. I use my mobile a lot as a reminder to do things, so this limitation would be no good for me. What's you experience with the alarm functions.
Thanks in advance for any help.
