I am very pleased with my Galaxy S5 phone, it has a super camera, the finger print reader works well and the battery recharges in around an hour.
Pros: Bright display, fast operating system, the finger print reader is easy to use

Very nice features, but not reliable
on May 23, 2014

Expertise:Intermediate
I had to return first two phones in couple weeks because of audio problem, overheat, and freezing... Since I like it's features; especially camera, then I bought the third one. The last one had the same problems after one week, but at least the audio can be accepted. I just hope that the problem is about software and can be fixed in the future.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: Poor quality
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

WOW...The Galaxy S5 has been the smartest phone I have ever encountered! Its not just a
smart phone, itsan intelligent phone. It always seems to know what i want or need before I actually do. It takes a little tweaking, but once you are familiar with it and completely set it up you will be amazed at its capabilities.

After waiting most of the year for the new iPhone 6 to come out, I broke down and purchased the Samsung S5. It was the best decision I have made. I love the features, the feel, and the camera. I am so happy to have made the switch.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color

Verizon Galaxy S5 was a great phone until Lollipop upgrade
on March 22, 2015
Posted by: UnhappyS5User2715
from Michigan
Expertise:Intermediate
The battery life has been extremely poor if the display brightness is above extremely dim. The display brightness cannot be left on auto. The battery life time drops to hours from days whenever brightness is on auto plus the battery temperature goes up as well.
Using the camera is impossible. There is three second delay between pressing the shutter and the phone snapping the picture.
Apps are very sluggish and keystrokes are very delayed at times.
The phone requires a daily restart with Lollipop that was not required with KitKat.
This is two weeks after a factory reset and 6 weeks after upgrading.
I have owned the phone since July 2015. I will buy a new phone from anyone except Samsung if I cannot get the phone working with Lollipop or downgraded to KitKat. This mostly likely will be my last Samsung device.
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
