A great phone from a great manufacturer

Having tried the iphone 6, SIII, S4 and now the S5 can I say this is the best of them all. It works flawless and it's super fast. I can recommend it to anyone without hesitation. Prices are coming down on this model since the newer S6 and S7 have come out but the S5 is still a contender with its huge screen area and great camera features.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, Built-in speakers, fast, great camera, thin design, nice features
Cons: battery life
I would recommend this to a friend!

Seems to work for most of what I need

While I don't live on my phone, I do use it for the basics. Talking, texting, occasional web surfing, and most recently emails.
Talk and text are generally flawless, with the exception of areas where my service provider fails in the coverage area, then the phone becomes relatively useless...for anything! (Not Samsung's fault).
Since I have started using the phone for emails (why, I have no idea...disconnect for a while is a good thing), I had a difficult time installing Charter email and still, sending emails from that account fail. Seems to be an issue with the outgoing server in the device. This could be Charter specific or Samsung specific, I'm not sure because my Samsung tablet has the same issue. I guess if I had a different manufacturer of one of them I would be able to determine which was the issue.
Gmail works well on the phone, however.
Social media pages function well, but I have since removed them from the device just so I can disconnect and not be bothered by notifications.
Overall, I think it's a good phone. I do feel that these devices have gotten way too pricey, therefor only leasing mine. I guess if you intend on keeping a phone for a really long time, a purchase would be a good option, but at the rate technology is advancing on phones, whatever you get today will be obsolete in a few months. Cell provider upgrades and incentives to get the latest and greatest make buying a phone less of an option than leasing.
I am satisfied, for the most part, but I am a basic needs user on this phone. I'm sure I could have some use for the expanded features of this, but don't my face buried in my phone all day, there's so much more to see in the world.
