The Galaxy S5

As an overall experience the phone was alright in terms of making calls and accessing the internet. But the build quality of it is not what one should be paying for, instead it feels like one is paying for a mid-tier, if not, a lower range Samsung phone. The software experience is also not all that pleasing. The touchwiz interface is very un-appealing and it feels very cluttered. Sometimes, or well actually most of the times the smooth transitions of the phone will lag very noticeably, even though the phone has very powerful processor that should normally not contain any lag. There are also too many unwanted pre-installed apps that should really not even be on the phone in the first place. Samsung should let the buyer completely uninstall the apps if one chooses to. As a final note, the screen quality is excellent, having a higher resolution than my other phone, which is an iPhone. The camera takes very vibrant pictures and videos, an area where Samsung tends to dominate the market in. Battery life is better than most, allowing me to surf the web and watch videos for at least 4 hours. The phone is good, but simply does not feel like it should have been the type of phone to compete with other rival phone companies, who offer a better build quality and software experience for an equal price.
Pros: battery life, screen image quality, camera
Cons: Did not meet expectations, cheap build quality, software experience, bloatware, complicated navigation between apps
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Samsung Galaxy S5
on June 5, 2015

When my husband and I came from an overseas assignment we were unsure of what mobile service to go with. However, the uncertainty was shortly lived when we came across Verizon Wireless. Before heading overseas I was a Tmobile customer, but Verizon had changed my mind. They were easy to set up and provided great customer service. I had a Galaxy 2 with Tmobile before leaving the states so I already had an idea what type of phone I wanted to go with. I had an iphone the past 4 years and wasn't impressed with it, so when verizon presented a deal to us for the Samsung Galaxy S5 we were sold. I like the big screen, how the camera and processor works. It is like having a mini computer at your finger tips. I prefer the android based phones than any of the other programs. The charge holds great as well. I always found myself having to charge my iphone numerous times a day and it would shut off with having 40% battery life left. I don't have that problem with this phone. You are able to download apps, email, dial out phone numbers, text at a great speed. The phone was inexpensive in my opinion probably because it is a few years old, but that did not matter to us. It has a bright display that can be adjusted and realistic colors that come through the screen. All in all I am very happy with this phone and I would suggest anyone getting this phone if any of these qualities is what they are looking for.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color
Cons: Too big, a bit heavy
I would recommend this to a friend!

When I had to upgrade from Galaxy 3 I knew I would stay in the Samsung family. The Galaxy 5 has very nice features. S Health is awesome! I like the pedometer, stress checker and heart rate features. There is more you can keep track of with this app. Definitely a plus!! Also the camera on this phone takes beautiful pictures. My friends always compliment how nice my pictures are. Overall, I'm truly enjoying my upgrade.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
