It just does everything 20% better
As a professional engineer and card carrying Samsung tech nut I had the S2 for 2 years and simply loved it, but decided to upgrade mainly to get a better screen aspect ratio. I chose the S5E mainly because it's the one with no pen and I didn't plan to use the pen, but also the S5E has 6GB of RAM, higher than other S5/S6 models.
To my surprise it just does all things a bit better. The sound quality from the speakers is frankly incredible. Sound has a real depth and clarity to it with bass that is not chest pounding but nonetheless satisfying eve...Read more
n at high volumes. The screen is, needless to say, mind-blowing. Pictures are sharp, bright and vivid (yes, I said vivid). On occasion I prefer to watch TV or Movies on the S5E over my big screen TV. I use the fingerprint sensor with no problems, using either index finger. I was using an aftermarket case which did partly restrict access to the sensor, but am now using a Samsung Case no problems. For web browsing this thing flies - I use multiple browser types at the same time, with multiple tabs and apps running, no problems. And like everything mentioned so far, even the battery is better. It's very well matched to the unit. I've had 6 hour sessions that see it only run down to 50% at most. Physically, the unit is very thin and light but strong - it feels very well made. It is smooth and could be easy to drop, which is why I use the Samsung Case it gives a better grip for negligible extra weight. My unit is Wi-Fi with 128GB storage, and I run a 128GB Samsung SD Card as well, so memory is simply not an issue. I bought my unit pre-loved as it was the only way to get the Gold colour. Getting used to the soft home button, back key, and tasks key took a little getting used to but works very well. I have no need for the additional keyboard, but I have used the S5E is DEX mode, it's really cool and also works flawlessly to turn the tablet into a "PC type experience".
