It's a huge upgrade from the Galaxy S 3 ! I felt that they could of gone a bit further but good enough. Awesome Camera and Battery Life ! But Many Things Were Excluded Due The Carrier. Poor Signal, and yes its the phone and not the carrier.
Upgraded my wife from the S4 and she uses this one way more vs her iPad, where before she used he iPad more than the S4.
Awesome screen, even better than previous S models. The camera is absolutely awesome. Even though the camera is only 3MP higher b=vs my Note 3, the pictures look more sharp and much better even at the same resolution.
Overall design is good. I like the back cover as it makes the case less slippery and I like the shimmer it has. My wife swapped out the original back for a flip cover instead.
The health features I think are fairly gimmicky even if you do actually work out, but that is only my opinion. It needs a cycling app from Samsung so I can try it as that is how I work out.
If you have an S3 this is a worthy upgrade. If you have an S4, the upgrade will appear very modest compared to the S5 but in my opinion is still a good move.
My only CON is the Galaxy S really needs to have a new look and feel. Don't go metal, but maybe another composite material like Kevlar or Carbon Fiber would be great. Stereo speakers would be good, and the S should include a nice set of earbuds from the new Level headphones. Not as fancy, but at least better than the ones that are included
This phone has an amazing camera, touch screen, keyboard, and for the fact that it's water proof and dust proof with such a slim design. It slides in my pocket easy and it easily comes out instead of it being a hassle this phone has a steep price but I think it's worth it
The only negative I found with this phone is that the battery usage is about average...not that anyone else does it better. It's average well within the limitations of everyone else. The big difference is the s5 does the bigger screen with the same battery charge. so I would give the s5 the edge.
The wireless charging is a big plus considering a weak point on most phones is the charger port.
Im a huge fan of the water resistant aspect of this phone. When on my motorcycle i am not trying to play beat the clock when it comes to rain.
I've had multiple iPhones before so I decided to try something new, so I got the samsung galaxy s5 and it was so worth it. In my opinion there is nothing better then this phone, there's so many features and the battery is amazing on a full charge I get 2 days out of it. If your thinking about getting it you should!
This phone just keeps amazing me. Awsome product. Ive talked my whole family into getting it.
