Decided to go with the upgrade to the Galaxy 7 - very nice phone. Newer features than the 5S of course, but similar enough to learn fast. Same screen size as the 5, but slimmer which is nice.
Kind of a drag that you can't get an extra battery since it's water resistance, but I guess I can live with that. It does charge quickly with the correct USB.
Con - no glass screen protector yet - just the standard plastic shield protector.
Pros: Bright display, Durable
Cons: unable to get an extra battery, no hard glass screen protector just plastic
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hands down best phone I've ever owned

I pre-ordered this phone before it came out. I love this phone and hands down it's the best phone I've ever had. It's got a great battery life and love the look and feel of the design. Haven't used the camera much but the fast processor in the phone is a nice upgrade compared to my prior phone the note 3. Haven't tested the water resistance of the phone, but that's one of those test I'd rather try by accident ;) The only con is I'm still getting use to the not touching the edge of the phone by accident when I'm holding it.
This phone is the best smartphone I have ever owned. Its super fast, you can go from on app to another in no time. Unbelievable camera. And phone is waterproof amazing!!!!
Pros: Bright display, Built-in speakers
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great phone and features... but there is a glitch

Had the phone for a couple weeks now and it has been pretty awesome. It just seems to have a glitch where for no apparent reason it is trying to go to split screen mode randomly. I am trying to figure out if I am somehow pressing the screen while holding it normally or if it truly is a software bug.
Pros: Durable, Lightweight

I had a note 2 for almost 4 yrs and every year debated new phones of all kinds. I needed a phone to really impress me before giving up a phone that i loved....well i made the right choice. This phone is beautiful and has fully replaced my old phone and tablet....love it
Three things I notice right away were: 1. When using the self timer, it only stays on the camera lens that you are using. When I used the timer on my S5, it was on both lens. When using the front facing lens with the self timer, it stayed only on the front facing lens. 2. Quick charge and battery life. I love how quick the battery charges and how long it lasts! 3. Always on Display. I love the option of having the time, battery level and date on the front screen. I used to have to hit the power button to see what time it was.
