13 Reasons Why You’ll Love the Samsung Galaxy S5

Water & Dust Resistant Design

Water & Dust Resistant Design

We already mentioned a few things that we like about the Galaxy S5 design but there's another design feature that we absolutely love. 

The Samsung Galaxy S5 comes with an IP67 certification which means that it's dust and water resistant. It's not waterproof but it should protect the device against drops in the sink or toilet or perhaps even a shallow pool. That's protect that most devices don't have, not even the Galaxy S6. 

If you're the type of person that likes to take your phone into rugged environments, the Samsung Galaxy S5 might be a good call because it offers an excellent array of features inside of a design that's built to handle the elements.

    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.
