Love It

I love Samsung Products anyway ! I already had a many Samsung phones. I had the Samsung Galaxy S3 I upgraded to the Galaxy S5 and just love this phone. I would pick Samsung over Apple every time. Looking forward to what difference the S6 will have.
I have had my S5 for a little over 90 days. In the time I have had it there have hardly been any issues. The battery life was great, if you know what to tweak. That was until Lollipop, now the battery drains faster than my bank account when my spouse is shopping.
Under regular use it has held up, sometimes got hot in my pocket if the Bluetooth and WiFi were left on, but during the winter that was acceptable. The only problem I have had was recent. The charging cover came unattached from the little plastic black strap that holds it on. I will be sending my phone in for repair, but that will be after I purchase another one to make up for not having a phone for 2 weeks.
I've personally never kept interest in a phone for so long without wanting a new one. Even when I begin flirting with the idea of trying an iPhone (I've never had one), I always realize how easier I have it with Samsung. Yes there are some things an iPhone can do I wish the Samsung could, but those things aren't really missed. Now of course I believe the phone is overpriced but that's consumerism for you. I'd definitely suggest the phone and actually quite excited for the 6!
Pros: Bright display, size
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have had more problems with this product than the EVO. It has malfuntioned more than three times in five months. I have lost the information that was transferred from the other phone, pictures calendar, contcts, voice mail, texts and others. The design isn't the issue, it is the functionality of the phone.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The phone is awesome, but that was with the Kitkat software. Since Lollipop was installed I have to keep it tethered to a power cord. I want Kitkat back!
Pros: Bright display
Cons: bad operating system
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love my Samsung phone!! It is so much faster and more reliable than my previous phone. Games and videos are excellent quality. I appreciate customer service help when I've had questions as well. Definitely recommend!! The camera is definitely one of my favorite features as it's high quality and love the ease of use - my kids love it!!
