Great features but HEAT ISSUES!

The Galaxy S5 has better features then the S6 such as removable battery and micro SD Memory. But the heat issue has gotten worse then the S4. I don't want the S6 because it's a step Backwards in features . But the biggest issue is the problems with the processor getting to hot and stops working. Stuff like not being able to answer a call coming in. Phone sometimes shuts down and restarts when trying to use it. Probably not going to buy another Samsung until they fix the heat issues that they don't seem aware of... I was hoping that the metal case was to address the heat but it's never mentioned. Really? A metal case? Almost everyone puts the galaxy s5 "computer " in a case....who sees the nicelooking metal case? Samsung - fix the heat issue and stop trying to build a iPhone clone. Just to clarify, the S4 had heat issues but not as bad. And I've now tried several s5's.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, removable battery!, micro sd card slot
Cons: gets warm and stops operating., gets hot and stops operating!, sometimes gives message "not registered on network
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The phone just recently upgraded to lollipop (android 5.0). And its performance is odd high value! Storage, high definition, speed. My galaxy s5 is the breezy phone I've had yet!
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations

Yes it is . In the begining , I could do it and play around this cellphone S5 by setting " language ",
then , from there, using its instruction to guide me do all the things , applications I want.
It also usefull when I loaded more " SD card " into this cellphone by myself [ just load the instruction pages when I communicated contact on line with " Samsung agent on line ".
I could also control " data usage " to prevent some- unexpected bill for over data limit . etc..
I already bought another Samsung S5 for my wife , too.
So far , I like it.
P.S. : download the " manual instruction book " from online , then I follow those instruction
and became professional like those who work for " cellphones companies .
