I fell in love with my galaxy after awhile of using it. It has a lot of features so it was hard to learn them all. I am still learning features after using it a year. I dont plan to love another phone as much as this one.
Takes clear pictures in sunlight.
Pros: reliable
I would recommend this to a friend!

Overall Great with a few flaws

Overall this phone is perfect for what I need, there are just a few flaws I've found. First of all, I like the expandable memory and removable battery. These are hugely important factors that new phones are lacking. See more later on the importance of this. I think the size is good, maybe just a tad too big. The IP 67 rating is great though I haven't tested it out fully. I like the battery life of the phone. Now for the cons, first off, sometimes the phone gets hung up on apps and won't respond for a while. This is a fresh install only a month old and this is already happening. This never happened on my 3 year old S3. Second, there is an odd issue where the battery almost instantly drops from around 100% power to 80% power. From there the battery life is good but I always lose that top percentage very quickly. The last and biggest issue with this phone is that the 16gb internal memory is not even close to enough (luckily the SD card mostly resolves this). With a large SD card I have as many apps as possible installed on SD (many apps will not allow this), and all possible app data and pictures also stored on the SD card. The only thing stored on the phone memory is apps which I cannot move to the SD card. With this configuration my phone memory is completely full and apps regularly won't update due to the phone memory being full. The only workaround I've found is clearing the phone cache and then updating. But the cache will just fill right up again so it's not a great solution. Overall though, the phone is fairly quick and has great features.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, long battery life
Cons: Too big, Did not meet expectations, internal memory not nearly enough
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great - most of the time

The phone is solid but it encounters a lot of issues now and again. I found that turning off the automatic app updates stops most of the problems I was having. Now and then the phone can get very hot to hold. However, it is a very sturdy phone and I love the screen. I think that it could have seriously benefited from more RAM since the base OS consumes almost 80% of the phone's memory without any apps running. It has a lot of storage and I like that. I like the fingerprint reader that is built in. Overall, it's a great phone, but not perfect.
Pros: Bright display, Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight
