Galaxy S5-Happy 10th Birthday

[ironass]

Launched on the 11th of April, 2014, the Samsung Galaxy S5 is now 10 years old today!



In my opinion, one of the great Samsung Galaxy phones I have owned. Up until 2 years ago it was in daily service with my little brother until he bounced it off some concrete.

I doubt that there are too many of these in use today with its 5.1" screen, 2GB RAM and Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 chipset but I have fond memories of it.

When you had the S5, what colour did you have?

As with all my phones... just the usual, boring, black I'm afraid. How about you @Laura Knotek?

I never had the S5. I had a Moto X back then. My first Samsung was the S10+.

Black goes with anything.

I had a white s5 with a white Spigen Slim Armor View case. The case hinge broke & I kept a rubber band around the case to keep the cover on.

Apparently, I was very thrifty.
(I have never purchased another Spigen case.)

The S5 was my first Android phone after leaving the Blackberry world.

So my girlfriend reminds me every time she buys yet another LBD, (Little Black Dress)!

That looks nice. Too bad the case was so flimsy.

I know Spigen makes nice cases.

I, unfortunately, didn't read the reviews on this particular model until after the fact.

But, I did love the look. The s5 won me over to Android.

Ahh yes the s5 was pretty decent phone , replaced that water resistant flap at the bottom so many times probably have a few laying around somewhere lol

My wife and I have had the S-5s since 08/19/14. Her screen messed up right after we purchased them and was repaired under warranty. I had to replace my power button last year. Outside of that they have been very dependable. Have been thinking about some new ones but being 83years old I don't relish the idea of setting up a new one.
