Because the HTC One M8 was a better phone
>>
>>53062428
because you're poor

now back to your cubicle Pajeet

>removable battery
>mSD slot
>16MP camera
It's an amazing phone desu. Only thing I see wrong with it is the screen isn't 1440p and it only has 2GB of RAM.

Consider getting a Note 4 instead.

> your small hands

I'd had S5 for some time. Amazing piece of phone except I couldn't handle it for real. Plus, I prefer iOS because it's more predictable and reliable.

Because Samsung

Because s7 is out

I seriously hope you don't do that, specially when the Nokia N9 and N950 exist
>>
I have it but isn't it a bit dated at this point? S7 is coming out any day now.

It's definitely a good phone, cheaper than S7 and really not noticeably worse so get it if you are a bit strapped for cash.
>>
>>53062551
I do like N9
but HTC m8 is nowhere near lagshit, smooth, and all
After two years usage, stil got 1.5 day battery life with above normal use, marshmellow update, never hanged or laged ever.

Shit build quality and touchjizz.

Depends on what you considered dated. Unless you have something broken or so, I'd really not fork out any money to change it for a newer thing like S7 or a competitor. Imho it's not worth it, S5 is still a thing, TouchWiz still lags, cameras aren't much better etc.

Save money for a spare battery or microSD.
>>
>>53062428
the s6
>>
>>53062606
I take it as you never used or hae the chance to use the M8.
M9 sucks, but the m8 is solid, I can't find an important flaw to justify selling it.
>>
>>53062792

The S6 is objectively worse than the S5
>>
>>53062428
The Galaxy S5 "smart" phone contains proprietary software and as such must be assumed to be malicious spyware or hateware. Samsung literally hates your freedom.

Pretty good, using one now. I get up to 8 hours SoT on CM13. Also fingerprint scanner for this was just open sourced by some XDA user and CM should be implementing it into official nightlies soon. 2gb of ram is probably the only downside for use, but its not that noticeable unless you're playing games. Cameras are nice in good light, but suck ass in low light, and get a case for it because the plastic metal looking lining gets scratched up and bent easily. Also flashing ROMs can cause the phone to overheat. Only happened to me once when I first flashed CM12, all other time it gets warm.
>>
>>53062428
Shitty plastic design
>>
>>53063645
ye still holds better that any metal phone.
>>
>>53063623
>a phone needing more than 2gb of ram

why
>>
>>53063808
I said for games, other than that its not noticeable at all.
>>
>>53063876

If a PC can run early 2010s games on just 4gb of RAM on high settings, surely 2gb is more than enough for phone games
>>
>>53064078
Games like GTA SA are poorly optimized for android and can max out 2gb of ram quickly.
>>
>>53062469
>1440p on a 5.1 inch screen
I can't even see the pixels on mine even if I hold it 2 cms away from my face
>2GB RAM
It usually stays at 1.21GB. It's actually a pretty good phone.
>>
>>53064431
>Games like GTA SA are poorly optimized for android and can max out 2gb of ram quickly.
You're fucking retarded. I have the Mini version of the S5 and it runs GTA SA flawless. And I'm sure it has less ram than the usual S5.
>>
Because the Nexus 6p exists
>>
Two problems I've experienced:

1) Battery life is rubbish if you don't mess with some settings, app perms etc.
2) Fingerprint sensor is really pedantic

Otherwise it's brilliant
>>
>>53062428
Go ahead and get one. You'll find out yourself why you shouldn't have gotten it.
>>
>>53066912
solid point there mate

You know I hated my S5 a few months after I got it, but I ended up dropping a dumbell on the screen and broke it. Went back to my infuriating piece of of shit S3 and was contemplating buying an iPhone 5s on swappa.

Just this week I manned up and replaced the screen and digitizer in my S5 myself, updated to Android 5.0, and downloaded gud apps. This thing is snappy as fuck now and looks 10x better than any iphone. I honestly like it for once.

Because you can get the supperior Note 4 or 3.

I got one and bloatjizz makes me want to die every day.
Getting a nexus 6p soon. No more samshit.
>>
>>53067301
Note 5 is amazing m8. Idk If I wouldve been better off with 6p but whatever.
>>
>>53067328
Nope
no samshit ever again.
I got meme'd on for thinking bloatjizz wasn't "that bad" but I was so wrong. So very very wrong.
>>
>>53062428
Because you already have a suitable phone capable of meeting your existing needs, and purchasing this device will cost you more than you will benefit.
>>
>>53062428
>>53062441

I was an M8 user

and I own the s5.

They both suck. Fuck the bezels on the m8 and fuck the plastic on the s5
>>
>>53067328
6p was probably better, Note 5 is good too though. Do you use the stylus much at all? It seems like it'd just be a novelty to me

Up to 8 hours of screen on time on CM13. How? I suppose you have an extended battery or something.

That's why I got a Note 3 instead, when the S5 came out. 3GB should be the minimum from now on
>>
>>53062469
Note 4 if you can handle it and don't have Manlet hands. Consider that you can purchase an Innovator Edition GearVR that will work with Note 4 phones, S5 has no such luxury or horsepower.


Note 4, using 200gb microsd for 232gig storage

2 extra batteries, but not like I swap them often with my fucking 10+hr SoT

Shits tight anon, touchwiz issues are fucking hueg overblown by faggets who never used a N4. If you don't care about your knox (like myself) you can just put a custom rom on there anyways.

Note 4/S5 master race tier, join us.
>>
>>53067969
If you guys are considering the Note 4, also be aware that after Marshmallow it's possible it won't get > 6.0
