Yes it's a good buy for its present price.

24sqm:
S6 is a better option in terms of specs.

erobes:


Any idea about the current price?

Whizzahd:
Drop your experiences with the Samsung galaxy s5. And would you still buy the 4 year old phone in 2018?

Readonee35L:
S5 battery life will frustrate you.

CHESTER48:
okay. Speaking from experience.
I have an s5 right now I'm using as my daily driver
I'm running android 8.1
Camera is still very good, better and perfect, no much difference from the s6 except nights shots without flash.
Front camera is 2.1mp,but I have compared this camera to the latest phones like tecno camon cm, x and Pro, and the s6. Difference from the s6 is able to zoom in much more without loosing details. And it's still a clear winner. Here

I have 16gb inbuilt, with 32gb memory card making it 48gb total.

I have played games like nba 2k17 was able to play at high setting maintaining good fps.

Over all it the beat phone u can buy at a cheaper rate now in naija, alternative to most cheap tecno phones like spark, camon, hot series etc.
I have a thread where I discussed about the android 8.1
Also you have Google camera port for s5, much better support on xda

Oga this your battery life clearly states LAST 'FULL' CHARGE and not last charge. Stop trying to mislead people.

Yes but at least it has a removable battery. When one battery dies swap it and under 1 minute u have a full battery

CHESTER48:
you will just come and talk without reasoning!!
Didn't you see
last full charge 1day etc
Screen usage since last charge 4hrs etc?
Nawaoo

Readonee35L:

So you have to two batteries.
I used to be a samsung fan. I still am.
But the battery life of s5 is terrible sometimes.
The s5 might last 6hours today.
And tomorrow it will barely last two hours. Phone will just get hot and keep draining.
Charge it full and watch it drain on its own gradually.

P.s I've used several s5 right from it launch in 2014.
Ive used over 4 different ones with original batteries and they suck.
I've used g900h Hspa
G900v verizon
G900f international version
G900a at&t .

I never used s6 so i dont know about battery life.

But i used s7 edge and battery was fair.

I'm currently on lg G5 and the battery life so so Good.
Infact i love it.

greenhulk:


Baba it's screen usage since last full charge which means if u top up charge without getting to 100% the counter will not reset. Just like the image I posted, I have over 7 hours screen on time and over 70% battery left. Does that mean I used only 25% battery with 7 plus hours screen on time? U and I know the truth.

greenhulk:


Ha ha, I never used an s5, but used an s6 and the battery show me pepper. I use to charge it 3-4 times a day. This is a phone I will unplug at 100% by 7am and by 11-12 noon I'm already on 10%. I had to sell it. Then got s7 edge, that one had good battery, one of the best Samsung phones in terms of battery life... At least that one could take me till 3-4pm before I will need to top up. Right now I'm using LG v20 and the battery is fair, just like s7 edge battery if not a little better.

It's obsolete in 2018

CHESTER48:
what about tecno phones produced in 2018 with mali 400mp?
Lol

henry007:


At least you knew before you bough it abi?. Coz all the people i told before they got it still wanted it like that. So weird. I would never understand sufferheads.

Nawaoo

CHESTER48:
if I topped charge, I will say it.
Mobile data was turned off throughout. Used WiFi.
I am using a kernel k ow as smartpack Kernel. Check on xda
Screen usually off. What really used the display is the ambient display. Mostly. So?
@op if u get the s5, hit me up so I can show u how to get enough battery. Android 8.1 saves battery.
Then flashing a kernel will help u save lot of battery cause u can minimise the task done by cpu or the gpu. Only downside is that you have to enable performance back if u need to to do something g really quick. Like gaming.

greenhulk:


Ha ha badt guy. Me sef surprise, s5 with over 4 hours screen on time and still 67% battery left. That phone will struggle to get 4 hours screen on time in total.

Ok let me also upload my own battery usage. 7 plus hours with over 70% left, but inside of me I know this is not true since I have charged in between.

I won't buy any 4 year old phone in 2018, even iPhone 6 is a waste of money in 2018.
