Samsung Galaxy S5 reviews by real users Samsung Galaxy S5

Even though it was launched 10 years ago, I still continue to use it without any problems. The battery really lasts a long time, especially if the ultra energy saving option is activated, plus it is a model where you can remove the battery to replace it without having to resort to technical service. The camera can take very good quality photos and videos. The quality of the screen, microphone and other features are also exceptional. There are also many Android Custom ROMs available to download and install for most variants of this phone (CyanogenMOD, LineageOS, etc.) which I believe will extend its lifespan for several more years. The 4G and WiFi signal quality is exceptional, especially in the Verizon version (G900V). Another feature that surprised me is that you can place a microUSB to USB adapter and connect a keyboard or mouse and the device will recognize it as a tablet. You can even connect a USB multiplier and connect the mouse, keyboard and a pen drive at the same time. On the disadvantages, it has some bundleware that can be deactivated, while in the Verizon version the factory reset option can no longer be used since the "reactivation lock" protection system does not allow logging in given the age of the pre-installed app (possibly the security certificate has expired). Other versions of this phone (such as the G900F, G900H, etc.) do not have this problem, although the G900H version (Latin America) has the drawback of not having more updated Custom ROMs. Another disadvantage is that it no longer has enough memory and CPU power to run resource-intensive apps. Finally, I can say that it is difficult to take screenshots, having to press the home and power buttons for a second and a half at the same time, which requires a lot of practice not to fail.
