Great smart phone.

I went from a Galaxy S3 to the S5. Nice upgrade...the S5 is faster, better screen, upgraded camera. Battery life is pretty good especially in power save mode. Been very reliable for about 8 months. I would recommend if you don't need to have the newest phone on the market.
Pros: Inexpensive, Realistic color, Bright display, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

I prefer to not use a case with my phone and the few times I have dropped it, it is stayed in tact. This is one durable device. I would recommend this to anyone just because of the durability. Everything else is a bonus.
Pros: Inexpensive, Realistic color, Bright display, Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

This product has unique features but a lot of bugs.
on February 1, 2016
Posted by: healking
So despite the s5 having a portable battery pack, capable of removing the SD card and has a seal to make it "water resistant" there are a lot of interior bugs that came along with it similar to when I used to have my samsung s4.
Camera Quality: 3/5
Great outdoors in well lighting but horrible in low lighting areas. The high MPs on the phone may come as a fool to others compare to the iphone which does has a less MPs on its camera, but the light detection on the samsung s5 even outs to its previous version.

Performance: 4/5
Does well. Very fast response time when clicking on apps or links. There are a lot of lag instances but that's primarily because everything is stored inside the device instead of how other phones use a software or a website to store all their files. Speakers are loud and does its job being built in speakers.

Why are the stars low on this phone?
-Lag issues still occur within android phones, or maybe at least this phone and its previous generation.
-Camera Quality on reviews are very deceiving. And if not, then the low light detections on the phone.
-Features are high because there are a lot more freedom on the play store rather than iphone's app store requirements.
-Design may seem confusing to new users but once picked up, is very helpful.
-Water Resistant feature is too risky to test.

Was happier with my S4

If it wasn't for gravity, I'd still be a happy Samsung customer... with my trusty S4. As fate would have it, the asphalt wanted to taste the screen. Now I'm stuck with this wonky beast. Realistically, it's seems merely a bloated version of the S4... but under the hood, it's riddled with goblins. Random freezups, apps crashing, a camera that can't take a decent picture... and it heats up to a degree that I fear for a Chernobyl-grade core meltdown in my pocket. Maybe the 6 is better.. but right now... I'm wary... my iPhone friends keep tempting me to the dark-side... i loved my S4... but, unfortunately, this "brick" may be the lynch-pin.
Pros: screen not cracked
Cons: Poor quality, Too big, Did not meet expectations, can melt the polar ice caps, more bugs than a times square hotel.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I previously had a Galaxy S4, I really like the new S5.
I only charge the battery every other day, the screen is clearer and more options
