My cell phone really works great so far. I am still learning more about it every day. Size of the screen is just right for me. Seems to have fair cell signal. Still learning how to use all the features of the camera, but pictures and videos that I have taken are beautiful. The speaker is okay but wish that it had two speakers for a more stereo sound, like the speakers on my Galaxy note 10.1 tablet, love it. Thank you.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight, fits in my shirt pocket.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Most people don't know but the S5 has 4K video available ( UHD ) If you wanna play back on your lcd youlll need a UHD capable tv but no worries itll play it back in HD as well Great phone great camera at 16MP and does the focus on the close up objects really nice feature easy to use like the commercial on TV I recommend downloading Owners Hubread thru it Itll onl;y take a minute and youll be able to show friends all the nice features they don't know about it The only thing I didn't like is the charge port cover is a pain in the u know where since its capable of water resistance and that why youll see a lot of [people with the covers torn off or scratched up real bad Ita not easy to take off as most phones are What I do is pop off the battery cover and that makes it easy to grab on to If you try the normal way youlll wind up damaging it Otherwise great phone Ive had all the samsungs Definitely download Owners Hub Most people don't kno how to use the features it has so many
Love this phone! The only issue that I have is lag at times when certain apps are downloaded and several people have a hard time hearing me when talking if the phone is not perfectly to my ear (if I am holding with my shoulder). Other than that the phone is user friendly and the options are endless. Would definitely purchase the next Samsung that comes out - would have a hard time steering me to another brand.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color
Cons: talk quality

My phone is awesome,luv all the great features and my pics are so vibrant and clear.
The GS5 lives up to the hype and bumps performance up a notch yet again.

The one lacking feature is facial recognition, although it is insecure I am willing to take the risk. The IP67 is comforting in my daily use around liquids. I would never trade any galaxy phone for an iPhone. Also, please do not go 5 year old simple with the android OS on your galaxy line of cell phones. Android users are not looking for baby simple iOS, we choose Android for its customization and powerful nature. I choose Samsung for its excellent hardware and the Android OS.
Couldn't ask for a better smart phone. I previously had the Galaxy 3. The Galaxy 5 has so many more features than not only the Galaxy 3, but the iPhone too. Love it!
I use my phone for everything - work, play, and all that stuff in between. It's reliable - I have had zero issues with the S5, whereas my last phone (the S2) was already giving me grief by this point in our relationship. My only qualms are that S Voice is not nearly as capable as I'd like it to be (it understands and is able to follow through with maybe half of my commands) and there is way too much stuff on there that I neither want nor care about.
All in all, I am extremely satisfied with my phone.
