Now you must be thinking why in the world one would consider buying an old model (unless you are sporting an older model or something similar). According to a written article at Know Your Mobile, Amazon is now retailing the Samsung Galaxy S5 for only £269 compared to its original price: £579. Apparently, it was so welcomed by the consumers that only 10 pieces are left in stock.
Knowing that this is an old phone, the article also states that the Galaxy S5 is still a decent handset if you root it and install it with a customize ROM, thus making the handset perform well compared to its original performance. Plus, you won't have to worry about any heating and exploding features like the Samsung Galaxy S7.

The Cons
