My S5 died. What a legend!

[Wakey]

I’ve had this phone so long, I don’t even remember for sure when I got it haha The only issue (other than replacing a battery) was the screen wouldn’t auto rotate when viewing media. You can force it so no biggy.

I’d get a new Otter Box every couple of years to keep it fresh.

I don’t game, I just want a phone that does the phone thing well enough and I need the device to take great photos and video.

I live in a rural area with 4G and I’m not sure when 5G will be available for me.

Can I get some recommendations? (I’m on Verizon)

I retired my S5 almost 2 years ago. Replaced it with an S9 which I've been very happy with, similar size and feel with just a couple of downsides (internal battery, no IR blaster).

what's your budget? @Fox Mulder makes a good recommendation. its probably pretty cheap by now as well......i would also look into the s10

Yep I'd be looking at an S10e next, currently they are in the $350-400 range on Swappa for mint used ones.

I retired mine a little bit over a year ago..but not before I had my next on hand..you see, I researched and researched and researched about it based on what my S5 could and couldn't do..and wanted something similar but better..the Note4(my current one) was the answer.

If I wanted to I could buy the latest flagship every year..but I'm not about trend..I'm more about functionality and getting what I paid for..so to me if I buy the latest that has so many inconveniences and restrictions and lacking in my favorite features(simply because the producer feels is cute and seductive to him) that doesn't work for me..

An S10e would be a great option or even an A51, which is a solid all-rounder.

Yes that S5 was great.
