I've had this phone for 3 weeks. Starting to get the hang of it now. I like it a lot. I was happy with my s4 but I am glad I stepped up to the s5. I really just use the phone for intrenet browsing, text and call. I'm able to search a lot faster. I'm a big samsung fan so anything newer samsung I like I just wait till my new upgrade comes along and choose from all the newer phones. I'd definitely recommend this product
Pros: Inexpensive, Realistic color, Bright display, Durable, Lightweight

I have had some issues with my galaxy s5 with all the updates. Over all it has been a great phone besides the battery and minor issue when updates take place.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations, battery life isn't the best
I would recommend this to a friend!

I picked the Galaxy S5 because it has a replaceable battery, accepts up to a 128GB micro SDXC card, and is water- and dust-resistant. The S6 doesn't have a user-replaceable battery or SD card capability, so it wasn't even an option for me.
I had a feature phone before this Galaxy S5, so this is my first smartphone. It's better in so many ways than my old phone that it's hard to criticize the Galaxy S5. The UI is plenty snappy enough for my uses. I found it easy to figure out how most things work, resorting to the user manual only occasionally.
I'm really impressed with how easy the default Messages app is to use. The voice-to-text feature works really well, making wordy text messages a possibility, but entering them by hand is quick too with Messages autocomplete feature. Messages also gives you good tactile and visual feedback if you're typing, which makes it easier to enter text without typos.
Most things are very configurable, and the many reminders can be disabled if desired.

Galaxy s5 is great. But it has some tweaking.

Pros: Convince, speed, availability,and great design
Cons: uncomfortable (for one hand use), lags(after 20 updates non the less), battery heats up after a sertain amount of use(so get that money for a new battery), and it's a bit fragile (Letters already fell from the back cover).
Over all its probably the best and worse phone from Samsung, I choose this phone because I have a 64Gig SD card that holds everything dearest to me, but the fact that you suffer lag and battery heat for the convince of expanding your storage, it really comes down to how it handles in your everyday life, and well it's great and all but if you are someone that's always on the move, remember to buy a case for the phone. I happened to drop mine by tugging the cable as I turned around my chair (the first day), and it dented the edges of the phone, it hasn't been even a month and the Samsung logo already fell off the back of the phone sadly, overall is good, just expect some tweaks, if you have been saving money for a 5 I recommend to keep saving till the Galaxy s7 comes out, I'm skipping 6 because of the lack of expandable storage, if I was looking for an overpriced non expandable device, I would've gotten an iPhone, over all I didn't spend half the money I had saved up, so when the Galaxy s7 comes out, I'll have just enough to purchase it, however if you simply can't wait I'd recommend this phone for sure. It's a disposable phone that you can give to your kid, brother, sister, whatever it may be, while still handling amazing preformance. It delivers if that's the answer you were looking for, it does what it says, but it has its down sides. Overall it's better than my MetroPCS phone by far, there is nothing better than a reliable phone.
