[Galaxy S 5 General] jonsmith709:
LG G3-Fantastic design great screen but way to laggy for me. I've also tried the M8 and Z2.
[Galaxy S 5 General] kyogiro:
Came from a Xiaomi Mi2S. The battery consumption was getting out of hand and too few storage for apps.
[Galaxy S 5 General] FrenchSparda:
Moved to SGS2 to Galaxy S5 few weeks ago, i bricked my S2...JIG doesnt worked or helped me to recover SGS2.

Waited few months for the S5 release, then 12 May, GS5 finally arrive at home....Knox...such bull*****.....and few days ago.....a s** ** * b***** stole my phone at work....it was in my locker, inside my pocket ...

So goodbye Galaxy S5.......i bought a Nexus 5 , so finally i can flash many roms, like i did on my SGS2 without thinking at my Knox counter...

Now, im waiting for the Nexus 6, or maybe Samsung S6 next year (or GS5 Prime)

Thanks to GeoHot for towelroot ;)
[Galaxy S 5 General] bwayan75:
Hello

I moved from S2 (crashed in water lol) to S4 Active (for the water resistant feature)... but the battery life was awful because of the screen.

Then, my company gave me a S5, and I left the S4 sleeping for good ;)

You put your locker in your pocket? [emoji46]
[Galaxy S 5 General] Dr. Mantis Toboggan MD:
I went from the Note II to the S5. I had the note for almost 2 years and when I bought it, it was for the large screen and now I find it too big lol

s2.s4zoom.s5

moved from nokia n82 to s2: great performance overall for this phone for its time.then went to s4 zoom.s4 zoom internal storage was too little and baterry life awful but pictures were fantastic almost dslr type and are much better than the s5 (exynos variant) i own now.but overall the s5 has it all.decent camera.decent batt life and decent design also !s6 should have a bigger baTT , xenon flash and ois also and plZ a ota fm chip FOR RADIO !
[Galaxy S 5 General] XNO:
I'm thinking of upgrading to the S5 today from the S3, or should I wait till the S6?
[Galaxy S 5 General] Zocker Tko:
From s3 to s5 and i love it
[Galaxy S 5 General] jonsmith709:
Very funny
[Galaxy S 5 General] ca.reaper:
Vzw gnex to sprint s5, due to the unlimited plan as it was cheaper than what I was paying for my grandfathered unlimited plan at vzw, even with financing the s5.
[Galaxy S 5 General] megan23247:
Came here from an S3 that I loved BUT it was slowly getting worse weekly. Poor batt life, charging port was going out and barely worked, the overall system was sluggish etc.

I love this S5 and im so glad I upgraded.

Sent from my Sexy Samsung S5
[Galaxy S 5 General] KKYASIR:
Iphone 5s to Galaxy S5

Iphone 5s to Galaxy S5.. waste of money on Iphone .....
[Galaxy S 5 General] raducanmihai:
After a failed Mobile Odin Pro firmware flash I had to live with my (trusty) old S2 for about 2 weeks while my S5 got it's motherboard swapped. Before this happened, I forgot how much technology progressed but using my old phone was almost frustrating. Coming from S5's instant response (I have all animations turned off) to a 3 and a half years old phone...what can I say... it was like a time travel. From battery life to scrolling through a web page, everything seemed old and underpowered.

This 2 weeks reminded me why I upgraded.
[Galaxy S 5 General] speedme:
Won a Xperia Z2 on an internet site, but owned a S4 myself (and loved it) I exchanged the Z2 with someone who had a brand new S5 :)

(including S-View cover and glass screenprotector).

Sold my dear S4 for 220 euro to finance my broken washing machine :)
[Galaxy S 5 General] terrorblade23:
are u serious man:))? ithink touchwizz is laggy....but about g3 i thought is way batter :))
[Galaxy S 5 General] jonsmith709:
Had 2 units of the LG, like I said fantastic but laggy worst of the bunch, screen to much for the processor, no where near as smooth as the lg g2. But each to there own.
[Galaxy S 5 General] terrorblade23:
I think now I'm reconciled with the ideea of having an s5 instead of lg g3 because I wasn't able to buy g3 (no money to add , g3 was more expensive )
[Galaxy S 5 General] dlads:
From the Z1 and every other phone in my sig, why? Because it was a free gift, got the gear fit for free too :) WIn :p

---------- Post added at 05:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:36 PM ----------

G3 is a beast of a phone but that comes at a price, overheating and battery life, phones great but these issues could be a pain, unless they've fixed some of the issues they had when it was released, my friend has one, couldn't even open the camera one time as it was overheating, wasn't charging it, playing a game, nothing.

S5 is the more stable choice which is odd as Galaxy's have always been known to cook themselves.
[Galaxy S 5 General] gee2012:
Most heating issues are with the Exynos devices. I`am switching to the Nexus X/6 when its available in november/december.
[Galaxy S 5 General] CollinFX45:
I did the exact same thing: got the G3 and then went (back) to the S5. Couldn't be happier.

-Collin-
[Galaxy S 5 General] eyeLUVAndroid:
Moved from Nexus 5 because of :

Better Camera

Got a Gear Fit

Needed a new toy :cowboy:
[Galaxy S 5 General] tweexter:
Moved from a GS3 way too soon. I had CM running on there and loved it, and have been dealing with touchwiz far too long on the S5. Other than that I love the beefier specs and the nicer camera for sure.
[Galaxy S 5 General] dlads:
Me mate has the snapdragon one, he loves it an it doesn't happen a lot but a bit disheartening when it did..
[Galaxy S 5 General] Quinnaay:
S4 to Oneplus One to S5 as of yesterday. The OPO has far too many issues for my liking currently and i got offered a trade and £50 my way and it was an offer i couldn't refuse. So far its really good, back to how my S4 was but snappier and better battery life. Not had much time to toy with it yet, think i may root and install a custom Rom as i dont have warranty anyway. I think this is my phone ill stay with until the Nexus 6 is out.
[Galaxy S 5 General] labeeqhussain:
I moved from an iPhone 5S to the S5 because the S5 basically had a better everthing! The only thing that the iPhone beats the S5 within is the fingerprint scanner and the usability. Apart from that though, the S5 is spectacular in every way!:victory:
[Galaxy S 5 General] RohanM:
I am not a S5 user, but a LG G2.. & not going to upgrade every soon.. LG messed with G3 because of that QHD ****.. My G2 is still new, 3 months only.. Will be upgrading to S5 when it's prices are down. :)
[Galaxy S 5 General] Fenix:
+1 :)
[Galaxy S 5 General] hmmzwtf:
I moved from an Galaxy S2 to an Galaxy S5 because.... The samsung phones have proven itself over the years!

Always an complete quality package, and a great no-nonsense service if any problems occur!

This is a +10 for me personally :)
[Galaxy S 5 General] Brentpn:
NEW PHONE

i came from a sgs 3 4G and decided on an update just for the new features better camera and potential broader choice of roms, sgs3 LTE was very limited
[Galaxy S 5 General] loonie01:
Moved from S4 to LG G3 (too many bugs) to S5.
[Galaxy S 5 General] speedme:
I went for the S5, but still considering the LG G3....so is it really that bad ?
[Galaxy S 5 General] jonsmith709:
Really that bad, laggy, my son and wife have the LG g2 and it's quicker and smoother, if the screen was left at 1080p or higher processor i would of kept it as it is a nice bit of kit.
[Galaxy S 5 General] speedme:
Ok, just read on another forum that LG uses a locked bootloader on the G3, so no custom roms can be installed.

That's definately a showstopper for me, so I will gladly stay at the S5 :)
[Galaxy S 5 General] Prosafe:
Moved from HTC One (M7) mainly because of the bad build quality. And since i also have a Samsung Smart TV i did feel for a Samsung Phone.
[Galaxy S 5 General] the_agima:
My first cellphone was an S3, a year and a half ago, and was quite pleased with it. My first impressions were a fast, responsive, versatile and big enough (ideal size) phone.

Since a couple of days, I know have an S5 and I do like it more and more each day. I'm reading a lot to find apps and tips to appreciated and exploit the phone to it's fullest potential! And so far, I'm having a lot of fin with it. A definitive improvement from my perspective!
[Galaxy S 5 General] GadgetViews:
+1 G3's Ui is slower compared to s5. and shutter speed on the camera os faster on the s5 than the g3. and locked bootloader was a big reason i had to sell my g3 and get the s5
[Galaxy S 5 General] damotif:
I've always been an IPhone person. Had a heavily modded iPhone 5s by way of jailbreaking. Got tired of the 4inch or so display. So far loving the freedom to customise my phone on android.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Alpha U:
Moved from the Samsung galaxy s3 to s5 because of the bigger screen and better specs :)
[Galaxy S 5 General] fershox:
Moved from iPhone 5s 32gb because bigger battery life IP67 and more storage now I own a S5 with 64gbmicrosd high performance, but battery life is amazing
[Galaxy S 5 General] Sensamic:
From SGS3 because it became really slow and laggy. It was annoying to use.

The SGS5 is so much better. I must admit I'm impressed and surprised I like it so much, since I started hating my SGS3 because it was slow and other issues.

Battery now is great, amazing camera and screen, great performance, etc.
[Galaxy S 5 General] chromatica2:
I bought into the iPhone ecosystem when they first came out in Australia and updated with a new contract every two years - so, 3G, then 4, then 5.

After buying a Nexus 7 tablet and coming to like Android for its lack of Apple-imposed restrictions, I decided to go all the way and get an Android phone as well. Settled on the Galaxy S5 over the HTC One (M8) and Nexus 5, basically for the better hardware - better screen, better camera, waterproofing, Qi wireless charging as an option, and the fact that I didn't have to buy it outright.

The main downside is the firmware. Don't like TouchWiz, don't care for all the bloatware. Thankfully, CyanogenMod 11 is in active development, and an official Android L build is rumoured to be coming to the S5 later this year. PIty there's no Google Play Edition.

The other downside, I guess, is that it's not the prettiest of phones. But I can live with that.
[Galaxy S 5 General] ugk3401:
Galaxy S5 is a good phone but I am tired of Samsung. Voiding your warranty for rooting ruined it for me. I will be going to the Nexus 6 when it comes out.
[Galaxy S 5 General] azyounes:
moved from th lg g3 to s5, first look i was impressed buy the super amoled screen its much better than the g3 and no need of quad hd, the g3 has too much issues, the system is laggy the battery drain quickly the performances are low compared to s5 and also LG dont want to unlock the bootloader so therea no roms no kernels no recoveries... the SGS5 has unlocked bootloader has too much roms has cm11 roms and with best performance and best battery and best screeb and best camera.... sorry for my bad english :)
[Galaxy S 5 General] dropmyload:
Moved from Blackberry (yes blackberry bold!) to S5. I have an iPhone 4S and was contemplating waiting for the 6 but android looked so much better.

Now learning the ropes, and trying to get to terms with battery life.
[Galaxy S 5 General] sunnysran:
Came from S4.. was having some issues with the old phone.

I'd say S5 is not a significant upgrade, just a somewhat improved version of the S4.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Oditius:
I have a HTC One M8 now, love the phone, hate the camera. I just wanted to try the S5. I don't know if it will be my #1 phone or not. There is a forum here that the devs are trying to load the Windows Phone OS on the Android M8. If they do that, then I will change the OS on my M8, and the S5 will become my main phone till Quicken comes out with a WP app. I love WP, and like Android. If they get the dual-boot to work with android/WP then I will have the best possible setup. :victory:
[Galaxy S 5 General] Mahdian57:
switched from Z2 cause of bad assembly to my Second Samsung's Product. first is a refrigerator!

I've seeing a lot exaggerated UI by SAm fans that not much has any difference with Sony UI except some options!

but I'm happy with Photo Quality of S5 really interesting
[Galaxy S 5 General] alchemist316:
I'm just gonna get it I have lg g2 g flex, nexus 5, z1s and Nokia 1020 oh HTC one and s4 i9500 this will I'm sure blow each one out the water I cannot wait and ya again I'm just gonna get it ..
[Galaxy S 5 General] rockyseenu:
No offense mate, but surprising to see someone who doesn't want to buy a new phone to save the pain of setting things up. We are in XDA and there are flashoholics like me who flashes 3 ROMS in a week and enjoy setting things up :)

As someone said - changing your phone while it has market is a wise thing to do and you can always enjoy the latest flagship :)

BTW - i am coming from HTC One and will be moving to S5 mainly because of HTC One camera. Apart from Camera, One is a great device but had used it enough and it's time to move on!!
[Galaxy S 5 General] redzion:
Not everybody uses gmail e-mail accounts etc.. not not everybody has phone for fun and for child use - I can't be offline even 10 minutes becouse of my job, so no flashing fun if you can understand my needs.. if not your problems, not my..
[Galaxy S 5 General] hamad138:
Dont buy it, look at the design
[Galaxy S 5 General] rockyseenu:
I understand sir. That was just my opinion based on my usage and in no way that i can think the same for everyone!!

And looking at the latest leaked pics - the design sucks.... phew...If this is what turns out to be the real device later today. Bye bye Sammy.

Will wait for my HTC One m8 to release.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Kawaisa:
From the leaks, the HTC one looks like a replica of the previous one. These designers need to go.
[Galaxy S 5 General] system.img:
Why change a design if it's really good?
[Galaxy S 5 General] barondebxl:
Should they keep the same design for the next 10 years?
[Galaxy S 5 General] Simonna:
I pity all Samsung fans,because Samsung will keep trolling them. :(
[Galaxy S 5 General] Superguy:
It's the same thing we make fun of Apple for. Wanna see the next iPhone? Make it a little bigger and tweak the icons and you pretty much have an idea.

Yawn. SGS5 is nice, but I wouldn't call it a game changer compared to anything put out since the SGS3.
[Galaxy S 5 General] samsat:
I have the HTC Vivid and was planning on changing to the Nexus 5. However there was quote a lot of negativity once it came to market so I thought I would hold on for the SG S5.

Those of you with S4's may be disappointed about the relatively small incremental updates but for those of us with older phones these new phones represent huge changes. If I now hang on for the HTC One M8 I may never end up upgrading my phone!
[Galaxy S 5 General] crl95:
So now that its announced I feel unsure of what to do. Would you guys switch from a note 2 to an s5 knowing that this would be your phone for the next 2 years bc I do not have the option of doing it sooner than that?
[Galaxy S 5 General] Kawaisa:
no, I would wait for the Note 4 if you're sticking with Samsung
[Galaxy S 5 General] frankgreimes:
Nope I would wait for their premium S version and compare it to the offers from Sony, LG, HTC and maybe even the Iphone 6
[Galaxy S 5 General] Rektroid:
:eek: well. Um hope you like the 8gb of bloatware .
[Galaxy S 5 General] barondebxl:
That was before the announcement.
[Galaxy S 5 General] slickfing:
...I think it's more like "MOVE FROM S5 TO NOTE 3"

Note 3 still beats all the 2014 flagships
[Galaxy S 5 General] leppo:
I considered waiting for the S5, but I see nothing in it of value (for me) beyond what the Note 3 offers. Plus I can get the Note 3 now, and not wait 2 months.

Im Comming from a Iphone 5 , I loved the Apple phones but needed a change, more Powah, more Storage. etc.
[Galaxy S 5 General] lukas77:
I moved from S4, considered a few phones such like LG G3, OPPO Find 7a (used one week then sold) but after all I realised that only S5 has everything I need (reasonable size, waterproof, removable battery and SD slot)

[Galaxy S 5 General] sadaniel79:
From note 3. I simply got tired of big screens. The only next best thing with smaller amoled screen is s5. I don't use the spen as much as I thought I would.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Outbreak444:
I had purchased the Motorola Droid Razr (xt912) in early 2012. I attempted to swap out to the Maxx but I was told I couldn't unless I paid full price. About 2 years later I bought a new battery and battery cover. Well after a few months the battery crapped out on me and lasted as long as the stock one. I also tried out CM11 on the phone and I loved it! But after a while I just got tired of how slow the phone was starting to get and how I needed to charge it every night. Finally after about 2 and a half years with the Razr I paid full price for the S5 just to keep my unlimited data.
[Galaxy S 5 General] 1iam5mith:
I'm about to move to the S5 from my Z2 because I want to use SideSync with my Tab S.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Naszmin:
i came from Oppo find 7 and note 3...and love this samsung Galaxy S5 so much...love its new interface and camera....
[Galaxy S 5 General] @non4:
Moved from s3 to s5 because it stopped reading sdcards. Was gonna get it anyway once my contract was up, considered z2 but self cracking issue is reported. At least the don't bend
[Galaxy S 5 General] BioShock96:
from HTC m8, battery died on me. :(
[Galaxy S 5 General] SilencerRemix:
Tempted to move from the Z3 compact. Had a S4 originally but wanted to try something different.

The Z3 compact is a solid device but I am missing a 1080p amoled display :(
[Galaxy S 5 General] paintball23456:
Moved to the S5 due to upgrading from the Galaxy SIII.

Why? Bigger screen, amazing camera, waterproof, better battery, better software, better audio? 1080p. Also due to the fact that it's the best all round phone on the market. It covers all the required bases. If the Z3 had a better camera, screen and software it would be been that.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Battlehero:
Came from the Galaxy S4 (i9505) upgraded to the g906s. The 2.5k display and the specs seemed pretty good and worth the upgrade. The S4 was a great device but I like to stay upto date.
[Galaxy S 5 General] RushFan:
I replaced the s4 with s5 for the bad signal reception.

I've tried all the available modems but without improvement.
[Galaxy S 5 General] georgemircea:
came from htc m8, amazing device, fast ,"serious look" but, i like interface of samsung,colour ,notification,flash notification,personalization, even lag forever is present here, and an horrible sound, i choose s5.

[Galaxy S 5 General] Hippie459MN:
I am patiently waiting for UPS to drop off my S5 today. After close to two years with my HTC Evo 3D it was time to just bite the bullet and get a new phone. Being an HTC fan for so many years I almost went with the One M8 but after 3 months of debate and watching tons of reviews, the S5 won and I hope it doesn't disappoint. So excited to start messing with this thing.

Moved to this phone because Samsung gave me one with a gear fit. I had a z1 before, prior to getting the device I'd have said that the HTC M8 would be my favourite but the s5 has won me over. Its a great device.

From Note 3 N9005. I am terribly missing it. This phone stutters everywhere which did not happen to my Note 3. Everything stock btw on both. Very poor decision.
[Galaxy S 5 General] @non4:
I very nearly got the note 3 for the big memory, but the phone itself is too big. Im happy with mine no stutters here apart from fingerprint, and thats on KK. On LP it doesnt stutter at all, I dont understand why so many have lag issues???
[Galaxy S 5 General] Ave666:
user problem :D
[Galaxy S 5 General] jerverg:
Of course it is a problem to the user (see what i did there).

Recently flashed stock lollipop and restored for a fresh new start. Seems to have solved some of the stutter. But i can still experience some lags especially when i am downloading something and using an app at the same time.

I am liking the phone better but when i save up a little more, i might just buy a note 4 when the price goes down, then hope it performs smoothly like my Note 3 or even better.
[Galaxy S 5 General] @non4:
No download stutter for me, I even play games while downloading. But I know what you mean, easy solution is to just wait for the download to finish! Multitasking has its limits. As for the note 4 I fear the bigger resolution negates the hardware improvement though not as bad as the g3. I suspect you need a 3gb ram device for usage with downloads in background if you're experiencing unsatisfactory performance, but really you must download a lot to be annoyed by that. Enjoy your s5 man all phones have ups and downs its just a phone albeit a great one
[Galaxy S 5 General] jerverg:
Definitely a great phone. Even moreso after lollipop. I really download a lot bec i watch a lot of series and movies. Maybe u are right about the note 4's hardware:resolution to some extent the reason they are releasing a Snapdragon810 version.

I am enjoying it better than before bec of lollipop. A lot smoother than before.
[Galaxy S 5 General] LBCaptivate:
I went from the Oneplus One to the S5. I was offered a free S5 from the Samsung Mobile Insights Program.
