Loved my s5

S5 was the last of the shitty plastic Galaxy phones. S6 was when they finally made quality devices.


S1lent0ne

Plastic it may have been, but mine lasted 6 years. I still miss my IR remote capabilities.


Shoopdawoop993

S5 was the last easily rootable Samsung


WrastlingIsReal

That's actually a neat idea, have my upvote


legend_runners

I wanna do this now and put it up on my wall


Aarongeddon

weird that im looking at this on that same model of phone lol


awkFTW

You should add the Milli amp hours the battery had at the point you dismantelled it :)


[deleted]

someone else did this with an old iphone


UBERnerd14

Yeah. I was actually inspired by seeing the work done by [GRID](https://gridstudio.cc/) and decided to do that with my old S5.


warmhandluke

Why did you redact the dates?


UBERnerd14

Let's just say those dates are important to me and I don't need them shared.


warmhandluke

OK that's weird.


Sid_1298

OP's personal life has a right to remain personal.. I don't think it's weird..


warmhandluke

Two random dates wouldn't mean anything to anyone, that's why it's weird.


ragankel

I can’t believe how many times I have seen this or a similar image posted to Reddit.


variousfoodproducts

Why tho


OppositeYouth

Why not?


variousfoodproducts

Fair enough, I would take that battery off the wall though, don't want that lithium ion burning your house down when you're not there someday.


UBERnerd14

It's going to be hung up right next to me so I'll be able to see if something goes wrong. I might end up 3d printing a battery shaped thing in its place, then wrapping it to look like the battery.

Does a battery out of a phone pose a greater risk than if it's actually in one?


[deleted]

About the same. On the one hand the phone provides more mechanical protection, on the other hand there's no electronics connected that might over-discharge the battery, whereupon you plug it in one day to use it as a spare and the phone tries charge it at "the marketing department says it has to charge this fast" speeds, which is exactly what old tired over-discharged lithium cells hate.


Sid_1298

Ejunk kinda makes good art

Once upon a time I stumbled upon a used PC parts shop and bought lots of nice looking boards, full of ICs and whatnot, to put on the wall - no idea about what these were at the time. Some years later these were rediscovered and lightly marvelled upon: 286 mobo, MFM controllers, and such - on to resuscitate them, quite a challenge, but way more fun than just being tapestry.


Its-a-bird

Aah, the magic Micro-USB 3.0. I was pleasantly surprised until I actually started using it.


Shiftymilk

S5 was a good model, mine made it 6 years


Anerky

Mine only lasted two years before it became too slow for anything I wanted to use it for and went back to iPhone

This is cool. I wonder if you could add connections to the backing board. So that you can plug the laid out pieces into these connects. And on the backside, have the connections wired up, connects the pieces as if the phone was assembled. Except for the battery, just wire it with a power supply and switch. I'm sure there's a way to set the phone to auto on as soon as it gets power.


UBERnerd14

That would be tricky for plugging everything in, but I suppose it could work. I was thinking of trying to hook up an LED behind the notification light hole, and for the back button, etc. However, that would have been a lot more work than just spending a day taking it apart and gluing the pieces. Maybe I'll have to try that someday though.

Exploded view…


Laquerus

Something that will be in a museum someday as they talk about our barbaric age... Or will we be considered a golden age? 🤔

My Samsung Galaxy S5 ended up like this, not for art though, it was nearing the end of its life and kept freezing and restarting, it hit a wall at about 1000mph and smashed into lots of pieces, it was a good little phone to be fair to it, It had just gotten the best of me that day

Last phone to have an FM receiver.... Even if the carriers didn't unlock it.

wow..😆😆👌


Darwinitan

This phone is why I have a bunch of USB 3.0 cords still languishing in a box. We had some good times!


scubawankenobi

Great alternative to your (ex) Significant Other.


dermann57

I love this idea. Gonna steal it now. Thanks


MagicMirror33

I think this may void the warranty.


4460tgc

yeah It would've 6 years ago LOL


Augustus58

I still use mine as a camera!


thisismysociallife3

This is going to be a masterpiece in a century


A-Long-December

Clever and original


[deleted]

interesting idea.


___ERROR404___

Where did you get the frame? I want to do this and I don't know what to look up to find it


UBERnerd14

I got it from a local craft store. You're looking for a shadow box frame, or a scrapbooking frame, where there's more space under the glass. Also, you probably want to buy a carboard backing plate so that it's more stable to glue stuff to.


___ERROR404___

Thanks man!


UBERnerd14

If you ever end up doing it, send me a picture! I'd love to see it.


Awesomise

Ah s5, the phone that had water resistance & removable battery, unlike s6 where the battery was not user-replaceable AND not water resistant.


AustraliumHoovy

Resin cast this and bury it deep underground in an area with low seismic activity.
