The features on my Samsung Galaxy s5 are amazing! I can't tell you how many times I've dropped my phone, it really durable! It takes awesome pictures and the apps are not only extremely helpful they are very I'm formative too. I love the way Samsung keeps me informed of the updates that are available and help when I need it. Thanks Samsung!
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: expensive
I would recommend this to a friend!

Older but still strong

In the store I compared the S5 side by side with the S6. While the S6 was certainly sleeker looking, the S5 seemed to have had as good a screen and felt solid. So I went with the S5 because of the bundle deal through my company, at substantially less than the S6. .
After having the S5 in hand now for about one month, I can say it hasn't disappointed yet. It is big and fast and the screen is good enough for my purposes, which is mostly work calls, emails, messaging, and some light app usage (Google Maps, etc).
Battery life has been strong so far, a full day with minimal to average usage, which is really good given that my work requires me to load some seriously battery sucking security and email SW. By comparison on my Samsung S4 Mini that upgraded from, I could usually only get through to lunchtime before recharging or keeping the phone on a pocket battery stick.
The fingerprint reader was kind of a bust, too finicky for everyday use, so I switched back to password lock on the lock screen, which my company requires and I am used to using anyway. The camera seems to take a little while to focus, but takes really good pictures.
Call quality is good, bluetooth pairing was painless. I switched the MicroSD card from my old phone, so all my old photos came with me without having to backup and restore, a nice touch that wouldn't be possible with the S6.
Basically, the S5 is not the newest technology, but it is a proven winner, and that's good enough for me.
Pros: Inexpensive, Bright display, battery life, proven winner
Cons: fingerprint reader

i have had this phone for about 2 weeks and so far i am still learning all about it. it has great features on it and it is water and dust proof. i am sure it will hold up just as well as all of the other Samsung products that i have or have had. i do recommend this and all other Samsung products to my friends.
Pros: Inexpensive, Bright display, Durable, Lightweight

Haven't owned it that long, but like it

I like how it feels and performs compared to other phones I've used. One thing I don't like is that when I'm using bluetooth headphones at the gym, it goes into locked mode until I turn off bluetooth, I haven't found out how to disable this, but it's annoying. I also don't like that I don't really have full control over what apps are installed and run. One last minus, I have the wireless charging backplate and get warned to check that it's on from time to time, though it always seems to be on correctly. I also would occasionally get this warning with the standard back.
Even with the minuses, I really like the phone over-all. It works pretty well for most things and I really like the finger swipe reader, I wish more apps would use it.

Pros: Bright display, Durable, feels solid, fingerprint reader, nfc
Cons: flaky readings on backplate, battery could last longer

GS5 Best Next Step

Love the phone but nothing's perfect. I definitely recommend getting expanded memory because as soon as the internal is full the device becomes really sluggish.
Pros: Bright display, Built-in speakers, Lightweight, hd display, great design
Cons: small storage
I would recommend this to a friend!
