Ok so I need some opinions to help me out with this. I currently have a Desire 816 Virgin Mobile. Bought the phone on eBay for $60 because the bottom speaker didn't work and the person had flashed CM 12.1and ended up with no data, they couldn't figure out the fix. Well I fixed it. Phone is still under factory warranty but Virgin wants to just replace it with a S5. I already have a repair set up through HTC themselves for the speaker issue. Is the S5 a better phone? I've had 0 issues with the Desire and I really like it. Do I do the RMA with Virgin and keep the S5 or do I send the S5 back and continue with the fix on the Desire. I'm clueless cause I don't know much about the S5. Don't know anyone that has one to help me out. Opinions???
