Previously on the galaxy s3. I love that phone I bought that phone back in 2013. It was a step up from the galaxy that I had prior which was a slide phone. I rock the s3 like no other and still works to this day. But its outdated technology and lack of updating from my carrier and the poor design of the USB charge port, maybe decide to go for an update. And I haven't been happier. The s5 has the same feel but a huge step forward. I love the screen size and the feel of the glass. The speed of the processor is surely a thumbs up. Currently my carrier is running 5.1.1 lollipop and it runs flawlessly on this s5. I don't use the thumb swype but I still find it a sweet featurefeature, I have used the heartbeat monitor which is kind of cool. The LED is far better than the s3 was outside viewing is awesome and a 16 megapixel camera surely is an upgrade. The battery life also is a far better step forward, it charges quicker and holds that charge a lot longer than my s3 ever did. But since I'm late to the game as always the only wish that I have is that Samsung would have updated the camera modes to fit the new galaxy s6 and note 5 to include the same camera features and layout as the new phones out personally I would love the new layout to be available for the s5 as well.
Overall the galaxy s5 is a big winner in my book. And I'd recommend this phone to anybody thats reading.
Cons: screen shatters too easy, took away some features that r on the s4
I would recommend this to a friend!

It is a great phone! The only thing is that the storage filled really fast and I couldn't move everything to my ad card. But it's a great phone and I have always loved Samsung. Thank you guys!
Works well sometimes, doesn't work at all other times. Wifi won't connect, flash broke within a few weeks of owning it, data doesn't work amazingly. When it does work, it works very well though.
Pros: Durable, Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This phone is over two years old now. Wow. Still works like it did on day 1. This thing does laps around my old iPhone and the options are limitless. Better pictures, video, speed., battery life. I would definitely buy another Samsung S series as long as they stick with android os.
Pros: Durable, Lightweight, crystal clear display
Cons: audio jack port
I would recommend this to a friend!

Works well. Battery lasts way longer than I anticipated. The sales guy talked me into aMophie battery case for it...kinda wish I hadn't spent the extra cash. WiFi works way better than my last phone...all in all very happy w my galaxy 5
Pros: Inexpensive, Durable, smaller size than the new massive phones
