One more thing that makes the S5 great is the potential for customizing the device with the various ROMs available out there, but this is a more general bonus of Android devices as a whole, and has been a known advantage for a long time.
Still, ROM developers are particularly active when it comes to the Galaxy S5, as we frequently see new releases that bring out the best from the admittedly slightly aging hardware. Of course, users should not expect miracles from these ROMs but they can still be a nice way to improve the device’s performance or make it better at specific tasks as the user requires.
We expect that we are going to see even more releases like this in the future. This is typical for the Android market for some reason, as the older a device gets, the more interest there is towards it from custom ROM developers.
But for those who want to be in touch with the latest developments on this front, the Galaxy S7 is the obvious and only choice. The device has various clear advantages over not only its predecessors, but also other major players on the Android market, which make it a great choice for those who can afford it. Hopefully Samsung aren’t going to lose their edge and will keep developing such great phones in the future too.
