Samsung Galaxy S5
*planted: 24/07/2021last tended: 22/09/2023
I got this in December 2019. £100 from Computer Exchange. It was first released in 2014. Over 6 years old and still works great.
Pros:
- easily replaceable battery (just pop off the back)
replacement batteries only £12 e.g. (from ReplaceBase)- replacement batteries only £17.90 (from PolarCell)
- one of the top 5 devices supported by Lineage OS
1. Deets
- Battery: 2800 mAh
- Memory: 2Gb
- Camera: 16MP
- 5.1" screen, 1080x1920 pixels
2. Retirement
I had to retire it as a daily driver in 2023. Almost got it to a 10 year phone!
It was just creaking too much. It ran slow, I was permanently having to delete things, clear caches in order to make space. 16Gb storage is not enough space for me it turns out. Photo quality was really poor. I would have liked to have kept it - I like the form factor of it, nice size, physical button, back just pops off to replace the battery. But hey ho.
3. Elsewhere
3.1. In my garden
