QUOTE(Hexlord @ Dec 18 2015, 03:37 PM) Haha thanks... its good but the battery quality really bad... which is my main minus point when considering future Samsung phones. Hopefully the upcoming S7/Note6 will not have such issues! Suprisingly, I find the battery life of the S5 to be the best amongst all the current Galaxy S series. Even beating the Galaxy S6.

There is a 277mb+ software update via OTA to my surprise when I checked today. Thought Samsung wouldn't bother to release anymore updates for this old phone. Any idea what are the changes? I have no idea where to find the change log.

But I personally dont see the need for a Qhd display. This post has been edited by TOMEI-R: Dec 21 2015, 09:19 AM

Most original FW are good enough out of the box. Hence not a lot of people know about flashing and custom roms now.
