    I miss my Galaxy S5. I could change the battery while jumping on a trampoline if I wanted to.

      I still have two of them in a desk drawer. Both still boot, although the batteries are definitely toast. I have no idea if you can find a new-old-stock battery for one of these that is not likewise also knackered. But fun fact, an S5 will power on and run indefinitely with no battery in it at all if it’s connected to a sufficiently powerful USB power source.

      Why pine for the past when you can have one again right now!

      What? No takers for a phone that’s stuck on Android Marshmallow?

        I put LineageOS on a S4 and I use it as a desk clock. All it needed was an app that shows the time.
