I agree that most of the "haters of anything" are trolls just trying to stir up trouble.
Then they sit back and watch the rumbles start.
The truth is, all of the Samsung phones have been darn good.
I have the 'S' Verizon Fascinate phone, still works great, just like the day it was released. I learned to get around the "bad features" that the trolls loved to expound upon and have had 3 years of very satisfied use with it. Yes, it is slower than anything made today. But it did exactly what it was designed to do and it did it well. Well, almost "well"
I kept waiting for something to jar me off my sandpile and the S5 finally did it.
love the S5, it is a terrific phone.
Could it be better? Yes, of course it could It was outdated 15 seconds after Samsung decided to put it to market. That is just the way of technology.
The same thing for my laptop and desktop computers. The instant I laid down the big bucks, they were both outdated and "useless" according to the trolls.
My HP laptop is 7 years old and doing fine thank you. I have a Panasonic Toughbook that only has 250 mByte of RAM. It has Windows 95 on it and it still runs just fine and makes a wonderful hotel browser machine that can withstand falling from a tree limb and still keep working. I can drive my car over it and it just keeps on ticking... do that with any of the present day laptops. Very few can survive a car's tread...
Don't pay any attention to the Naysayers. They are there for everything that's been made. They were there when McCormack marketed his first wheat thrashing machine ( a 100 years ago )which required a big team of horses to pull it. But it thrashed wheat and did it well. But that's another story.
