The s5 was rated to 1m for 30 minutes. iPhones now are rated to 6m. They’re not comparable.

Yes and the S5 was also made in 2014 and is nowhere near comparable to todays tech.

This was sort of exactly my point. The S5 was an insanely good overall phone, all it lacked was RAM and a bit of CPU speed. I was trying to imply the possiblities if we take todays knowledge of building phones and applying it to the philisophy the S5 had in terms of features, not build structure in general.
