in 2014, samsung released the previous peak phone with the s5, but it has begun to show its age recently

cost

the most common model you can get in europe is the G900F which you can usually find for ~50eur second hand

if you want one buy one _now_ as they are only getting harder and harder to find for a good price by the day

idk i think it's worth just buying a few and then replacing parts when you gotta, second hand price is a fourth of an s10e

cheap and easy enough ubuntu touch experience

very easy to install custom rom and root

5.59" body, 5.1" AMOLED 16:9 always-on display

headphone jack, (mid) fingerprint, ir blaster, heart rate,

removable back cover

removable 2800mah battery

microsd (change without sim tool or removing battery)

usb 3 (microsd, otg, mhl 2.1)

gyro, gestures, nfc, bluetooth 4.0

wireless charging with optional thicker back panel

noticeably slow now

latest lineage os build is (actively maintained) 18.1

decent camera

dust/water resistance (IP67)

difficult to repair (5/10 score from ifixit)

wider aspect ratio
