Talk:Samsung Galaxy S5

Followed by...

I support the phrase "To be determined". ViperSnake151 supports "None, latest model". I don't like this description because it sounds like it's official that nothing will ever follow this in the sequence. Any thoughts?? Georgia guy (talk) 19:21, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

Until the S6 is announced in 2015, it is possible the S5 will not have a successor (although this is very unlikely!). I prefer the "latest model" terminology. Also, this sort of info box shows up on many other articles, consistency is important. Frmorrison (talk) 15:34, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

60 fps 4k video recording?

If yes, add to article.--— Preceding unsigned comment added by user (talk • contribs) — Preceding unsigned comment added by FoureychEightess (talk • contribs) 01:14, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

Nope, doesn't have it. It came 4 years later however. --79.249.159.203 (talk) 23:00, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

No comparison?

Why is there no comparison like on the Galaxy S4 page?

You can create one if you would like to see the variant comparison. I originally created the S4 comparison and I don't see it as necessary anymore, the differences were minor. I would never delete it from the S4 article though.Frmorrison (talk) 02:44, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

I added a comparison of the first generation S5 models. Will add the LTE+ and Neo devices later. I also need somebody with a more reliable source to verify the LTE bands of the Chinese models since my sources were in disagreement over which were actually supported.

Consider Merging

I put a merger proposal between S5 Active since the S5 Active and S5 only have eight minor differences and only two are major - the MIL Spec and buttons. Also, the S5 article is is not that long. I created something about the differences. Note the S4 and S4 Active had more than two major differences, so those have two articles.Frmorrison (talk) 02:40, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

Model SM-G900P

If someone with an account has the time, can you add SM-G900P to the list of S5 models? Noticed it when I was swapping the sd card over. This phone is sold in the US market for the Sprint network.

I will add it. Frmorrison (talk) 18:49, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

How about encryption details, these are kinda important duh?

I.e. Hardware supported encryption? Y/N, FDE on by default? etc. It would be good to know if someone will be 'privacy-raped' when they cross a border or lose their phone! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2002:C65B:E41A:0:F8F4:FA82:843D:5209 (talk) 12:53, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

NFC, USB

NFC in all versions? Between the plastic back cover and a L-shaped second plastic foil layer? (Seems to be Qi (standard) – hidden in table) According to Amazon NFC is built-in in the battery.

The "double socket" under the waterproof lid at the front/bottom of the phone seems to be a USB 3.0 Micro-B-socket, which takes a (quicker if supported by PC, ...) USB 3.0 Micro-B-plug (using all 2x5 contacts = both holes) OR a USB 2.0 Micro-B-plug (5 contacts, 1 hole). See: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Serial_Bus#Hardware + http://www.tabtech.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Galaxy-S5-micro-usb.jpg

Back can be opened with Fingernail to change battery und (afterwards) SIM and SD-card. --Helium4 (talk) 09:26, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

Edit request: reference redirects to ransom site

Hello, This edit request is to remove or replace reference number 55, "Samsung SM-G900T Galaxy S5 LTE-A Specs". It redirects to random pages. Curious, I truncated the link to the main site to see if I could find a corrected url for you. This was, samsunggalaxyspecs. com. Arriving there, I was audibly instructed to call a phone number and pay a fee to have a virus removed from my computer. That was a lie, by the way. I have no virus. And reference 56, for example, did not redirect. At any rate, I do not know how to edit Wikipedia pages, but have tried to raise an alarm here. Thank you.

Model G901F - Galaxy S5 Plus - missing in page

Hi there, the G901F model is missing here. More info: https://www.heise.de/preisvergleich/samsung-galaxy-s5-plus-g901f-weiss-a1184310.html?show_description=1

I would add it myself but I don't know how it will fit correctly.

If I apply the same logic as C to C++ I wouldn't expect info on the S+ on the S page. If there isn't an S+ page consider making one. I'm new so maybe read the ToU carefully and/or wait for another editor to chime in. Somethingsomethingtypo (talk) 01:23, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

Should the setting menu details be mentioned?

Version 1:

==== Settings menu ====

File:Samsung Galaxy S5 (2).png

Samsung Galaxy S5 settings menu

The TouchWiz settings menu has been redesigned to flat design for the Samsung Galaxy S5, being the first major setting menu redesign since the beginning of the Samsung Galaxy S series. The Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy S4 have received this menu redesign with the Android Lollipop update, although with a white background instead a dark blue one.

Icons are purely in white and inside of coloured circles instead of self-coloured clip art icons.

There are three distinct sorting modes: Grid view, List view and Tab view.

A search feature, introduced on the Galaxy Note 3, has been added as well.

Reverted by @ViperSnake151 for excessive detail and WP:NOTHOWTO, which is understandable. I then rewrote a trimmed-down version:

Version 2:

==== Settings menu ====

File:Samsung Galaxy S5 (2).png

Samsung Galaxy S5 settings menu

The TouchWiz settings menu has been redesigned to flat design and has a new search feature. There are three distinct viewing modes: Grid view, List view and Tab view.

Also reverted with the comment "I still feel this is too trivial even in this form. No other phone goes into that much detail on its settings menu like that".

While I consider this UI feature relevant enough for a mention, because it is a change relative to the predecessors which makes it more relevant, Viper considers it too trivial for a mention. Although I don't mind leaving it out, I am asking here just to hear what other people think. --23:06, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

Maybe in TouchWiz? --84.147.34.137 (talk) 15:16, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

Actually, let me do it myself. It definitely is relevant enough in an article about a user interface. --84.147.34.137 (talk) 15:39, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
