Upgrading to this phone was a no brainer....

I waited until the price came down some and am glad I did but if I would have purchased the phone at the original price, it would have been worth it. Still learning all the stuff that you can do with it. The only thing that I really have a problem with is the charger plug. It is such a pain most of the time to plug the charger end into the phone especially if you have to wear reader glasses or it is dark. I would have made the plug insert a little bigger so it wasn't so hard to plug in. With that said, I have been up for up to 18 hrs in a day and use the phone off and on a lot. Hardly ever do I have to charge the battery which is good because I hate the plug in for the charger cord.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: charger cord is a pain to plug in.
I would recommend this to a friend!

There is nothing that could be better with this phone. If there was with the next generation, then I think my fragile heart could not handle the excitement. No cons to think of.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, the godsend for my life, battery lasts forever, perfect size, amazing photo quality
I would recommend this to a friend!

This phone is completely amazing. I love how long the battery lasts and how quick it charges. I use it all the time for work and the email features are great. The only complaint I have (because nothing is ever perfect) is the charger is a royal pain to plug in and they need to release the car charger with the quick charge end on it.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best Phone I've ever had
on August 31, 2014

I was actually a bit hesitant to get the galaxy s5. I saw commercials about it and I didn't really like them. After a couples of weeks, my friend got one and he said that it was one of the best phones he's ever had. I had an iPhone at the time so I didn't really like Android. So, I decided that I would buy it and if I didn't like it I would return it. I never returned it. The Samsung Galaxy S5 has been the best phone I've ever had. I like to run, so naturally I liked that there was a pedometer and a heart rate monitor. I also liked the fact that you can expanded the storage up to 128 gigabytes. I like to game and listen to music so I liked that I would be able to have enough storage for both. I love to take pictures, so I'm glad that it was equipped with a 16 MP camera. This phone is definitely worth its price and I would recommend to anyone in a heartbeat. It's so good, I got my whole family one!!! The only problem I have with it is that sometimes the fingerprint sensor doesn't catch my finger. About 9 out of 10 times it works perfectly.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight, quality screen, 16 megapixel camera, water resistant
Cons: fingerprint scanner doesn't always work
I would recommend this to a friend!

I've had almost all the galaxy phones from galaxy 1, 2, 3. I skipped 4. But the features are good. It's fast and sleek. The touch wiz is very responsive. I've not have had no lagging. Even though the material feels like it's made cheap. The camera quality is great along with the screen qlarity is good. So overall I enjoy this phone and recommend it to others
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: quality of material feels cheap
I would recommend this to a friend!

I had no idea what I was missing out on with the Samsung Galaxy phones while using an iPhone. This phone is far more versatile, I can set it up exactly how I want it. iPhones are so limited in their customizability compared to androids it is insane.
I made the switch, and haven't regretted it for a second. This phone is amazing!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight

not great

The battery life is horrible in normal mode, and the phone is extremely unstable with in power save modes. The cover over the charging port is annoying and the finger print recognition function to unlock the phone is terrible. It works 10% of the time or less. The email program stinks and the contacts program constantly duplicates my contacts and it does not sync with Outlook - even using the latest version of Samsung's Kies utility. Over all, not a great phone and certainly not as good as the S4 was.
Pros: Bright display
Cons: Did not meet expectations, horrible battery life, no contacts synchronization with outlook
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The 16 mega pixel camera in the Galaxy S5 is amazing. It takes crystal clear pictures an catches every detail an color in the photo. Being a sells rep the camera is a awesome selling tool to my customers. Between that an all the new features this phone provides.
Can't wait to see what the Galaxy S6 will bring to the table.
