I had a Samsung Galaxy S4, but upgraded to the S5. I like the fact that most features are similar. A few changes that I don't love, but am getting use to... 1 being the menu button (left button) has been removed from the bottom of the phone and placed inside each app/program. The button is now the fast app switcher (or for me delete all apps open button). But overall I do like the product.
Pros: Bright display
I would recommend this to a friend!

Going from a galaxy s3 to my new galaxy s5 was great. The s5 is faster, has many more features than the s3, and I love the larger screen.
The phone itself is amazing & the fact that it is IP67 certified is great. If you are asking yourself is it waterproof....? Well it isn't but pretty close I've had this phone almost a year, I have gone swimming with it, with no case on it. I worked in the oilfield and dropped it in sand and oil still works fine! It's some what fairly resistant to fine dust. And it has reinforced glass. I still give it a wash with mild soap and low pressured water weekly, just to remove excess oils. So yes I recommend this phone! And the photo quality is awesome!
The product that Samsung has made is the best because of the way it is designed it has amazing things that you can do with the phone I love my s5 because of the bpm on the back and hoe it tracks your footsteps it's a very good idea because the bpm can help reduce the risk of diabetes and in a way can save lives every day meaning the s health it self my whole family has one you guys are awesome in every way if there was a sixth star rating I would do it all the way I love your guys' product thank you 5 stars all the Way
The screen size, slightly larger than my S3, is a plus. The Android version is crisp. Sound quality is good.
I only have 2 disappointments: 1) the USB 3,0 cable for charging is difficult to get into the port (and I use USB 3.0 on a lot of devices, so this is not a user training issue), and 2) I have yet to find a way to balance the screen lighting to make it visible in bright sunlight ... it is great everywhere else.
