- Still a great phone, despite its years
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.
Pros- Durable and easy to replace battery
- Very good quality camera
- Wide availability of Android ROMs and Custom ROMs
- With a USB adapter accepts external peripherals
- Good display
Cons- No longer has great capacity to run highly demanding apps
- Hardware protection on Verizon ver. no longer work
- Some ver. like the G900H (Latam) lack updated ROMs
- It is difficult to take screenshots
- 8.8

View answers - Overall it's a good device but doesn't recommend for the present...
I have using Samsung S5 global edition since 2016 but there weren't any issues or troubleshoot except battery issues and some display issues when turning off,but it's not a huge issue because it occurs when I'm turning the display off. Although now I even don't have a power button it lasted till this january.
Overall I'm not well satisfied about the gaming performance due to lagging and battery issues but now there are many issues with Google services they are crashing again & again.Pros- Display
