13:27 For those who don't know, the Galaxy S5 uses a *microUSB 3.0* port, which is a faster data transfer and charging version than the common microUSB 2.0 port. It's basically a standard microUSB 2.0 port with extra 3.0 pins in the square-shaped hole beside the main 2.0 hole, so, don't worry, *any working microUSB connectors* 2.0 or 3.0, will *fit* into Galaxy S5 (and any microUSB 3.0 devices) and can be used for charging, data transferring, AV output, and everything you normally do with USBs😇😇😇🙏🏻😎👍🏻

John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Jesus

The charging port on the S5 looks like that because it has display out capabilities, you can go and eBay and get a MHL to HDMI adaptor pretty cheaply. Most old phones would still work here in the UK as there is still 2G coverage, though not for much longer.
