Hello everyone,
I always keep my old phones as backups. I use them purely on WiFi, without a SIM card, as media viewers, game playing, a bit of social media, etc., primarily at night while I have my primary phone on the charger.
Currently, my 'backups' are a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy Note 4. The Note 3 works fine, but is pretty old and slow. The Note 4 appears to have some sort of hardware problem, otherwise, I'd be satisfied to continue using that as my backup.
Obviously, the reason I'm writing here is that I've been thinking about buying some version of the G5 to serve as my backup. Especially with the G6's coming out, the prices would drop even more, I'd expect (and they're already very good on eBay especially).
My question is: what is the performance of a G5 like vs. old 'flagships' (like the Note 3 and 4)? I would presume it's at least as good, but wanted to get some input from real users before pulling the trigger. If the G5's are would be noticeably slower (than the Note 3 or Note 4), I wouldn't want to go in that direction.
Any other pros and cons I should consider?
Thanks very much!
