There are very few complaints I can offer except... 1) The telephone microphone is not compatible with normal telephone use (for some reason it is difficult for others to hear your voice in normal phone mode - using speaker phone improves things, except it picks up outside noise and irritates nearby persons, 2) I have had the alarm clock feature lock into wake-up (alarm) mode.... and cannot find a simple "kill" or power-kill button/feature to shut it off (very annoying if others are present). 3) A published "operators" manual would be a great help to those of us who grew up using party lines and mechanical typewriters... finding information for the device as you are trying to use it is awkward and frustrating. 4) Perhaps a "reset" button... that would take you back to yesterday's settings (or the day before's), after you have allowed some new creepy app to get established inadvertently.
Would I give it up, or trade it for an "apple"... not on a bet!!!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable
Cons: gets hot in your pocket.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love everything about my galaxy s5 since ive had it. It has fast acting performance thats compatibale with every app to the fullest, lightning speed charging with long lasting battry life and among other greatness is its durability. Its a very light weight phone completely resistant to water!! But my favorite part is someone finally made a smartphone thats screen wont break if you dropped etc.!!! Best phone ive ever had and I hoghly recommend. You dont have one? Go buy one cause its a MUST HAVE!!!!
The Galaxy S5 can take a little getting used to but it has a simple design that is enjoyable and easy to adjust to once you get a feel for the system. You won't be disappointed.
Best phone around.. hands down. The camera is fantastic, battery life is better than I expected, and the processor is fast... never any lag. My wife has the same phone and keeps it in her pocket.... at first, she thought it would be too big; however she bow loves the phone. I use a belt clip.
