This phone is fine, not great, I've been using this phone for about one a year and 2 months and I have some things I love and hate.
1. Display- the display on the phone is really gorgeous I admit it's very sharp, colorful and bright just like an amoled display should be.
2. Battery- the battery on this phone is bad very bad, it doesn't last me through a day and it's just bad, just before the phone hit less than a year with me I had to get a new one because the one that came with it was damaged, I get about 3 hours of screen on time wich I think it's average for a phone this size, but I wish it was better.
3. Hardware- the phone's hardware is plastic so I can't say much about it I personally don't like it, but I do appreciate the water resistance.
4. Software- the software on this phone is packed to the gills with lots of features but alot of them are useless and make the phone slow and stutter alot, I get it the phone is almost 2 years old but with the processor and the amount of ram it has it could be better.
5.camera- the 16 megapixel camera on this phone is really good during day time weather is snapping a picture or recording video it's really good with lots of detail and crispy color but when it comes to night time the camera takes a toll, there's alot of noise in pictures, they lose alot of sharpness and color reproduction is really bad. The selfie shooter is not good at all, it makes my face look very soft with it's beauty mode and in low light environments pictures look yellowish wich in my case I don't like it, but it gets the job done.
6. Speaker- the speaker on the phone is not bad, it loud for a rear mounted speaker and that's just it, it gets the job done too.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations
I would recommend this to a friend!

The picture quality is great the apps r good and it's 4G speed is fanomanl I really haven't found anything negative to say about it I really like my phone so thank you Samsung
This phone is awsome, and the service I had was excellent. From the time I walked in to the time I left I felt appreciated, not like I was just wanted someone to sell something to.
This phone is durable and easy to use. With a 4G provider my overall coverage has been quite good. The OS is easy to use and adapt both in the 4G and WiFi enviroment.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Durable, it is very easy to use in all enviroments.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Amazing Product

This phone is amazing! It has a great mixture of Android and IPod features. It is a great size for watching movies and videos from anywhere. The only issue I probably have with it is that compared to my previous phone, the battery doesn't last as long; but the upside to that is that it doesn't take the phone that long to charge.
