I am using iphone 5s, before that I had used many android phones such as NOTE 1&2, HTC M7, Vega R3 etc,
I choose iphone because it's stable and the quality of camera and Selfie is nice, the figerprint is also one of the reasons.
Now I am considering to go back to Android and considering S5 because of its new camera functions, figerprint scanner, about 5 inch mon (I don't consider if the mon is too large), IP67.
But many negative posts/ news stated S5 is not worth, and some stated it's over-heat and lag!
Does anyone can comment the overall performance of S5? and advise me. Thanks!!
I swithed from 5s to nexus 5 a couple of months ago and now I'm on galaxy s5. I can say for myself that iPhone 5 was overheating a lot. I do not feel any heat on my Samsung. Camera is very good but compared to 5s the difference is not so huge. The biggest difference is the screen and battery life. I would say it's really worth to switch. Performance wise it's the same. Quality build wise off course ip5s is well built but try to drop it... and try to drop it into the water ☺. I have it for a couple of weeks and I would not switch back to 4 inch screen anymore.

There's no real answer to this, because they are so different. No one can tell you which suits you the best, because they're not you. If you really value the key differences in the S5 over the 5s, then you don't let the minor bugs bother you. But the question is do you?

Thanks for your words! It is helpful to me!
5S is quite beautiful design, but 4 inch ips is really made my eyes tired.
I just wonder why many people would say S5 is not good and some are saying that is lag.
Because I think Samsung is not bad while I was using Note 1 & 2.

Actually I love these 2 phones, I just want to have some solutions (or feedback after using s5) on why many people would say S5 is not good and some are saying that is lag.

Depends on what you want from a smartphone and how much it will cost. The S5 offers a great screen, excellent battery life, very usable camera, IP certification and IR blaster, it's maybe the most well rounded multimedia smartphone today. The 5S still keeps it simpler, smaller, bit faster, as you'd expect from an iPhone. Both are pretty good for their usage type.

You can find many people saying many things from the internet, some say that iPhone 5s is not good. Samsung lags a bit yes, because of touchwiz, but that will get better with updates. And even if it didn't, it still wouldn't be any worse then the notes you've used. So you won't be disappointed in that matter.
I myself have the iPhone 5 and was considering to switch for a S5, but then decided to wait for iOS 8/ galaxy s5 premium / galaxy note 4 / iPhone 6 because I don't NEED to buy a new phone yet, as I'm still quite happy with my iPhone. But if I had to buy a new phone right now, then I'd go for the S5 or maybe even HTC M8.
I have always enjoyed iPhone. I have owned all of them since the very first one.
Android has caught up in terms of speed, stability and fluidity.
Android has surpassed the iPhone in terms of screen size and quality and battery life. My iPhone 5s couldn't make it to the afternoon on a charge without plugging in, and it is nicer viewing content on a large screen. These are the two reasons I am currently using one of the current Android flagship (gs5 at the moment).
When apple debuts a phone with a five inch 1080p screen and comparable battery life, I will buy another iPhone.

Its either you change to 5S and embrace and love what it has to give you or just stay on what you're lovin' right now.
I played around with a friends S5 and i realy was dissapointed with the device and i believe that upgrading from the S4 would be a waste of money for me considering the costs. I use a Note 3 (N9005) and overall performance is better imho, has a bigger battery a more RAM. Future updates will surely make the device better as always but out of the box atm the price of 650 euro`s where i live is too high for this phone. Not ranting just my 2 cents
well..finally I come back to Samsung with S5!!!
It is not bad device and I think it's a bit lag because the touchwiz , but for me, it's accpetable!
16GB is really not enough...but I am not used to use SD card..
Hi.
With the OPO for a few months now. It's an all arounder, no doubt. Does it all, does it well. Running stock CM with Adaway and Greenify.
Came across a good deal on the GS6. Can't seem to decide. TouchWiz? Battery life?
Should I?
Thanks for the advice guys.
:good:
I see only benefit of s6 in its camera... It's one of the greatest sensors ever used in mobile phone.. Much better than the one in opo.. Maybe build quality is more luxurious but it's ends here for me.. Opo has bigger screen (that's a plus for me) overall speed is better and developers are great here.. I'm talking from my own experience since friend has a s6 edge a I played a little bit with it
If you have money to spend go for s6.. But despite the camera I personally see no need to leave this magnificent piece of device...
Simple, I bought a OPO because I didn't have enough money for a Nexus. (6 or 5x/6p) I have a S5 from my employer but I hate it, I don't like Samsung at all. Touchwiz is horrible, battery life of the S5 sucks in comparison to my OPO. The only thing I like about Samsung are their cameras, those are quite good.. But that's the only thing that is good. I even preferred my old Nexus 4 over the SGS5.

There is no way I'm ever getting anything that's older than the Galaxy S7, for countless reasons. The GS7 is almost flawless, it's just a massively improved and patched up GS6.

Hey guys.
I have the Galaxy S6 and I'm wondering if it is worth to upgrade from S6 to S8.
I've been using the S6 for quite some time, and now they launched Android Nougat (7.0) to the Galaxy S6, which I am currently using the official version.
But, I am wondering if I should upgrade to the Galaxy S8 (Non Plus) variant.
I'm in love with s8's screen.
If you can, please post a "reason" why I should or not be upgrading.
Thanks!

Better SOC, better graphics, better screen, more ram, more memory 64gb, sd card, better battery, better camera front and back, usb C, better performance overall......BUT if you didn't see all this already and you're still in doubt, might be that it doesn't worth the upgrade for you.
I did this. Battery almost 2x, Speed great, too.

Same here. Switched from S6 Edge. It is a major upgrade in every way, just like OP said. No regrets.

I upgraded from the S6 Edge to the S8
As the title says I upgraded from the s6 edge and let me tell you it is worth the upgrade! :good:
Not least of all the S8 is waterproof, having paid £250 to repair a water damaged s6 edge last year i think its worth upgrading for this reason alone.
I like the fact the finger print scanner is on the back - it never made sense to me that it was on the front in the first place.
Face unlocker is fast to react.
And I am just chumping at the bit to get a DEX like dock (however at this point not willing to pay £110 for it).
Interesting comments.
I am really tempted into upgrading it. Since my S6 sometimes struggle when I'm scrolling on Chrome or Facebook, and I'm too far down.
I think it is time for that upgrade!
Is the battery really enough? I mean.. 3000 mAH on the S8.

Battery life has been a mixed bag for me - I'm not quite seeing as good a result as I've seen many post but it's likely due to varying conditions. It definitely gets better life than my S6 - I wouldn't make it to Noon with that and I start my day, off the charger at 430am. With the S8, I get through the entire day, no problem but might need a hit from the fast charger if I do some browsing after dinner...

Well you can upgrade but i recommend waiting for another phone with the same SOC...
My dad bought the S8 and is pretty meh...Narrow design, same screen as the s6 just bigger and slightly higher res which makes it looks strange...camera is the same as an S6 on good light conditions and slightly better on dark conditions...Figerprint positioning is absurd...Battery is not that good...SOC is newer but you wont notice any difference unless you try hard...And the price is way too high for whats is worth...
I dont want to start a new thread but i am wondering the same but i am coming from a oneplus one.. again is their any bonus in upgrading.. and how is development for samsung devices
i went from s6 edge + to s8. Very happy so far. the form factor fits better in the hand, software is fine. I like the back being glass. good feel overall.
A BIG YES. I upgrade from a s7 edge and to me it was so worth it
If you like the S6 and want to stay with Samsung, I'd say yes. Otherwise, I'd say wait until more info is available on the Google Pixel 2.
It's such a large upgrade from the S6 it's silly to even have to talk about all the reasons why. For comparison, the S8+ made the S7 Edge seem very dated. There is no comparison, unless you like old, slow phones with far inferior displays, memory size, camera..... I could go on. Not even in the same ballpark. By far the best phone made to date - S8/S8+. That changes every 6 months or so with a new phone taking the crown, but right now this is the top dog.
Agree, S8&S8+ are top-of-the-foodchain!
How are the lags on the S8? Because on the S6 when I'm scrolling in chrome or facebook I get lags. Usual android thing. That's what making me wonder if I should wait iphone 8 or get the galaxy s8. Btw, I don't plan going to Google Pixel 2 because I like the Samsung devices. I've always had Samsung phones. Tried Nexus once but I'm not a fan of stock android.
Upgraded today to the Grey/silver version from S6.
Ordered awesome spigen case too.
Role on Friday.

Zero lag in anything I have done on my S8+. Smoothest, fastest phone I have ever used.
I went from s6 Edge to S8. I think it's worth it. The battery is much better. Bigger screen, not as wide so easier to hold. It's pretty better all around. If you got nougat on your s6 then the software experience will not feel drastically different. Haven't really tested the camera head to head yet.

I have to disagree with you on a few points:
"far inferior displays" - Just because the S8 has a more futuristic look with its smaller bezels and increased height over the S6 I don't see it being fair to consider the S6 to be far inferior. The S6 featured an incredible screen at its time, and compared to alot of flagships out there it still is an amazing screen anno 2017! (pixeldensity is still better on the S6 vs the S8 by the way)
"memory size" - Just because the S8 features 1GB more, it does not mean that you actually use it. Just because it looks better on paper does not make it essential in daily usage. 4GB future proof? Yes! Absolutely necessary at this moment? Probably not.
"camera" - If you are talking about the front facing camera, then yes probably you are right. The rear camera however is only marginaly improved over the S6.
Don't get me wrong, I agree with you that the S8 beats the S6 in all of those points, but I think its actual difference in daily usage is to be argued whether the TS needs to upgrade or not
From S6 Edge to S8 is a perfect upgrade at all levels. I gave S6 to dad and I am using S8
So Here is the question:
Galaxy s8 [Exynos] ( Debloat & custom ROM) OR One Plus 5 128gb?
If you had those 2 options what would you choose. I think most of us here would agree that Samsung got A lot of bloatware in phones....
Without thinking the price difference. One plus 5 is faster than s8 and lasts longer. OP5 got almost pure android and is bloatware free.
Nevermind OnePlus 5, I came to the S8 from a 3T but I'm seriously considering going back to my 3T.
Looks like you already made a choice. Oneplus always had wifi and 4g speed issues. Maybe they fixed it in the OP5....also OP's camera is not what they said it would be at all. Keep that in mind

Op5 doesn't have a good camera. No wireless charge no water resistance no iris no sd card not sharp display as samsumg. If those things are not important to u then it's ur choice I used to have custom Rom Custom kernel into my old device but with s8 plus I dobt need anymore plus I love battery life in my phone.i had T3 when comparing my s8 plus I dobt wanna look in that screen . That's my opinion.

You are not scared not to drop it? I mean its all Glass.
I dont care for Iris also internal memory is faster than SD and with 128GB Is more than enough. I like the screen in s8 a lot but I think I will brake it for sure. Even with a cover, IT'S curved... Looks awesome tho.
I don't think that the Battery life in s8 is better than op5 with all that bloatware.
I came to s8 place because deep down I like the op5 for the smoothness and faster ROM. I don't know if you can get the same with a custom rom/kernel in S8 though.
If you could compare a OP3T with the S7 ( custom rom debloat etc etc ) what phone would be faster/ last longer?
I think Bixby is a waste of RAM and needs to be killed. ( With fire )
I'm not scared to drop it I have very thin case it protects corners and from scratches for me sd card is important battery life is amazing im heavy user I have tones of apps and games. I already disabled all debloat apps like 50 of them plus bixby services and bixby button with package disabler without root.so bixby is not a problem or any other bloatware caz they are disabled phone runs smooth fluid it's been 2 months it just run as it was out of the box.
Well I had the OP3, just sent back my OP5 and currently using a 950F. If your fun is running benchmarks and flashing different ROMs every other day (as I used to) then get the OP5. I can tell you as an everyday driver I enjoy the S8 way more. Form Factor, display, IP68, VR and the AOD. I just took some awesome underwater video last weekend and my daughter was using it with VR. I really wanted the OP5 but they just didn't up their game enough this year for me to keep it. I like the S8 so much I just bought another for 450 with a junk phone trade-in. Cheaper than an OP5. To each their own though

I Think you are right. I do not care about the water res( be careful one day you will kill your phone with water ) or the VR but the AOD the Samsung case with LED and that awesome curve screen look awesome.
But I have to change ROM/Debloat, Buy 40-50 EURO case and a Screen Protector.
I Don't change phones that often I keep them for 4-6 years.
wow, seriouly I don't even keep a phone 4 months never mind 4 years. I am an addict though and freely admit it. I am on the Essential list but won't buy it until I see reviews. My gut is tellimg me the Pixel 2 by LG will be my next phone if it's kin to the G6 but nicer. I've never spent $900 on a single phone but this might be the one I do.
Hi guys,
Apologies if this is the wrong thread but wasn't sure where to post this.
Quick question....
I currently have the s10e. Is it worth upgrading to the note 10, s20 or s20+?
Main things for me are battery life, portability and performance, not bothered about the camera as I hardly ever use it.
Thanks

I am in an extremely similar situation. I had the S10E since its launch day and traded in to upgrade to S20 on s20's launch day lol
It costed me 1050 canadian dollars (after tax) after the trade in.
I love it. Better battery life, better performance for sure.
With a smart phone, i just use SNS and read news. So how the screen looks and portability are the top 2 criteria. That was why I bought S10E last year.
The S20, well, 120Hz is amazing and the punch hole is about 1/2 the diameter, such a great upgrade on the screen. As for portability, S20 is a tiny tiny bit narrower, and about 1.5cm longer, which is not too bad at all, given that using it with one hand is still very easy.
As for camera, having a telephoto lens, well, is definitely better than not having one lol
So the upgrade is very noticeable. I would say it is a much better experience.
One thing about portability. The s20 is likely to be the most portable flagship of 2020. I was waiting for news on the Oneplus phones and Redmi k30 pro earlier this year, but found that they are very likely all going to be noticably bigger than the S20, especially the width.
Knowing this, i just instantly decide to get the S20. No need to wait for the other ones at all. Physical form factors are not something that software can make up for.
hope this helps.
