I have a Galaxy S5 (yah...I know! I know!) that I really like.I'm certainly no tech geek (I long for the days of dial telephones) but it does everything I want it to do...and more.I suppose my attitude might be different if I was some giant of industry sending,and receiving,thousands of messages a day.But I'm not.

I need a phone with memory for lots of aps, specifically coupon apps. With those, I can earn more money back monthly than the monthly payments for the phone so it pays for itself. I also like the feature of using the phone to pay bills at cashier terminals.

I agree about the S5. It does everything I need and it has a removable battery. That is a plus for me

LOL, I have a Nokia 3585 that is 18 years old.
I like my dumb phone, it doesn’t spy on me.

I’m with you I still have a S5 and I just recently bought a high capacity battery for it as the original battery wasn’t holding a charge for very long. It’s like I have a new phone again and I might check out the Galaxy S12 or whatever it will be and hopefully by then they will once again offer a removable battery. I don’t care about it not being fully waterproof as I don’t swim with my phone or text while under water.

I have a Galaxy Note 3, and I still love it.
It's finally showing it's age and I planned to get Note 7.

No S pen with these(?) so I guess it means I'll be waiting for Note 8.

I agree with you. The Galaxy S5 does everything I need. It's my work phone, and I love it. Since we've got a Verizon contract, it still gets occasional Android updates - Android v6.0.1, so I can run current apps. I just hope that the contract doesn't require me to trade it in before too long... We can get replacement phones every 2 years if we wish. I don't want to let this one go!

My personal phone is an ancient (5+ years old) Virgin Mobile Evo 3D (it can do 4G, but keep the phone on 3G)), running Android 4.0.3, but since I've got a (work) phone that I use to run current apps, I have no reason to upgrade.

Both phones have replaceable batteries, which means I can keep a spare or two if I need it, or charging one while using another. My personal phone has Seidio 4000mAH (4AH!) extended life battery, which combined with the Seidio Mil-Spec case make the phone enormous and heavy, but even with talk times of several hours, a single charge lasts more than a week. I hope to be able to keep this phone for another couple of years.

My personal requirements for any phone are simple: micro-SD card capable & replaceable battery. If the new Samsung doesn't do both, if I need a replacement, I may have to go with LG. However, my experience with 2 previous LG phones over the years were REALLY excellent, with excellent reception and very long life.

Yep. I'm hanging on to my S5 til this model comes out:

Note 4 here. $345 a year ago. Does everything just as well. I dodged the $900 Note 7 bullet. Not planning on buying the newest phone or a new car again. Note 4 battery and memory card serviceable. When you buy an older model phone batteries are like $7. I have 3.
