I remember the unveiling of the Samsung Galaxy S3 like it was yesterday. Forget the designed for humans" crap I was excited about the hardware offered in the phone: 4.7 super amoled display, gig of ram, 8 megapixel camera,expandable storage and the last goes on. Coming from the original galaxy, the technology had advanced so far that I could not wait to have it. Bought one on launch day and not was i happy. My inner nerd went crazy, and although i rarely post anything I read almost every post here on xda :eek: i learned so much that i was soon recommending this phone to everyone (even converted iphone and Windows phone users:D).
I enjoyed this phone so much that the first time it broke (water damage) i bought another one :cool: second time it broke (display damaged) I thought that my nerd super powers would kick in and i could repair it myself... Well two displays later and another broken S3 I broke down and bought another one :laugh: now i literally go everyday to and from work with 3 spare batteries (my brother in law bought a g3 so i got his s3 battery) i can not express how happy i am to have 400% battery power everyday. Not to mention that my SD card had saved on it, i realized that a swappable battery and expandable storage will always be my kryptonite. I've tried just about every rom and every tweak but it time for a new phone :crying: went out to the local stores here in Germany and guess what i saw? Yes you guessed it the Galaxy S6 and Egde :victory: let me say this "beautiful, thin and incredibly light" but that damn camera looks like a turkey on a Thanksgiving table! And no swappable battery or no expandable storage it was immediately out of the question for me.
I touched and caressed just about every other phone out there including the sexy z3 and the cold m8... They to were missing the sammy goodies ive grown to love. Then i had the note 4 and the note edge, nice really nice but way too big. Long story short I bought a Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE-A :cool: has everything that I need. The plastic build does not bother me at all "function over form". I really like this community and my favorite rom was fusion rom by dragon7780. He stopped developing back in September but stumbling in the S5 forums i found something with a lolipop http://fusion-rom.net/downloads/ have a nice time people and keep the forums clean from "when" posts ;)
