The battery lasts me all day without a power saving mode. The camera is great and takes nice pictures in daylight. My S5 can handle anything you throw at it and I have never had a lag issue. TouchWiz is thick but I am familiar with the OS. The front camera is just that. Not amazing selfies but I would certainly consider this device. All speeds I tested test better than the iPhone 5S if that says anything to you. WiFi, LTE, and just opening apps. This device is not bebeauty but I don't care about the beauty of the phone I prefer screen beauty and performance over looks. Overall great phone and is certainly giving all phones a run for their money. Sony Xperia Z3 and the HTC One M8 would be the only others I consider being that I haven't tried the Z3 yet.. iPhones just can't match the features that you get with the S5.
Only thing this phone lacks is front speakers...
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Lightweight, takes advantages of a large screen size
Cons: speaker is placed in the back
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love this phone. Best ever. It is the coolest phone
The more I learn about this phone, the more I love it! We just took a vacation to Colorado and I took tons of pictures! They turned out great! Even the ones from the car on the freeway! And, I learned about a bunch of the features the camera offers! Cartooning, old style etc. I am also grateful for the sturdiness and the water resistance! We were in some pretty interesting spots and I felt that myou phone was always safe!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, great camera
Cons: Too big, pretty expensive.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love the S 5. It has a lot of great features. Pics are so crisp and clear. Every feature is easy to operate. I think it is a great phone for any age. Even mine. I'm in my sixties.

I have always had Samsung products and to say the least they consistently outdo themselves each time! The Samsung S5 is a great device to be able to have everything you need in one place. So many options to be able to personalize the device and to be able to exceed your expectations! I would recommend this phone to EVERYONE!
