S5 for $200

[legend8887]

I have a G3 but I want something else so I can switch between my G3 and another phone every now and then. I can get the S5 for $200. Should I get it?

The G3 is generally a better phone than the S5.

I don't see how.

I own the G3 and I'd love to say yes.

 

But I'm going to be fair here. The G3 has a 1440p display, but I find the S5's display to be slightly better overall because color reproduction and contrast is better and the overall PPI doesn't seem to affect daily usage.

 

The S5 also has marginally better battery life in use thanks in part to its lower resolution display. The G3 has better standby, though. The S5 also has water resistance and dust-proofing. The camera is better in broad daylight but the G3 is superior in low-light. I'm not a huge fan of both phone's UI, but to each his own. The S5 also has a finger scanner (that I find to be pretty poor) and a heart-rate sensor (gimmicky but it works).

 

Really, it's up to you. I love the G3 but if we're totally unbiased here, I think the S5 is slightly better. But of course, the G3 is still my preference.

Sure.
