The battery life, compared to my Z1, and the Galaxy S5 I used for a week prior to getting this (after my £20 Vodafone phone broke), is brilliant. With heavy usage (gaming, YouTube etc), it gets me through a day.
Overheating isn't an issue either (as the 810 chip is infamous for), unless I'm playing games, listening to music, using Snapchat and messenger at the same time (Even then it's not 'hot'). Performance is as good as you'd expect.
One thing that surprised me was just how quick and reliable the fingerprint scanner is, it works first time, 99% of the time.
Memory management isn't an issue either, something I found annoying on the Galaxy S5. I return to games as I left them, when I leave to send messages, whereas all to frequently on the S5 it had to reload the game. (I know the S5 is older, but it still has a cracking processor, and 2GB RAM)
Overall, if anyone is in the market for an Android device, I'd highly recommend this, especially as it's now come down in price.
I needed to borrow an S2 after my Lumia broke.
Hate it with a passion.
However, I now have an S5 for a work phone.
Whilst a million times better than the S2, I just can't get away with Android at all.
There isn't much difference between this S5 and eldest Constantopolous's S6.
Both of our Samsungs are a million times better than the S2 for processing speed.
He had an iPhone 4 prior to that and Mrs Constantopolous has an iPhone 6.
Again, I am not keen.
The 'one button' does my head in on the phone and iPad.
Despite its obvious flaws and lack of popularity, I still prefer the Windows OS.
