The Galaxy S5 doesn't come with built-in charging like the Galaxy S6 but you can still buy an appropriate back and charger to charge the device without any cords.
We absolutely love wireless charging. It's nice to be able to put the phone on a charger on our desk or bed side table and not have to deal with a bunch of wires. Yes, it will cost you a little bit extra but we've seen Galaxy S5 accessories drop down in price in the months since the phone's release. If you dig around in the days and weeks ahead, you should be able to score the parts that you need for cheap. |

Uhhhh, the Samsung Galaxy S5 was released in 2014, not 2013.

Gottabemobile probably have a copy/paste template that they use every year. Typically the same content/words except they change the device names/dates/version number. Looks like they forgot to change the date this time.
Very typical of gottabemobile. This is why their articles are getting old and boring. It’s always the same old “we have been using it for blah blah blah and it’s impressive blah blah blah”. Sure they probably made some changes here and there, but 80% is pure repetition from the previous years.

I’ve been using one for 15 months and it’s still my favorite phone of all time. The only issue I have ever had with it is the charging port waterwater cover didn’t lock into place after the first 8 months, making it less than water resistant down to a 1 foot depth as advertised. But it’s gotten wet more than a dozen times and no damage. It’s been in an Otterbox Commuter since new and been dropped onto concrete floors more than a dozen times and no damage, it’s a tough phone! At the price point for a new one now, 15 months ago it was $800.00, it’s a great value for the money. I highly recommend it.
