This doesn't count as a phone.

This is absolutely the worst phone I have ever had. It worked fine until I did the software update. Prior to the software update it was a great phone. But after that the phone's screen would periodically shut off even though the phone was still on. After I replaced the phone, because it was still under warranty, I did the update on the new phone and THIS current phone will restart out of the blue no matter what I am doing and it happens sporadically. Basically: The phone is great if you don't do the update. Also I haven't even had the phone for a year yet. I have also not dropped it or had any water damage.
This is the first phone to innovate multi window and water proofing.Love the adaptive sound configuration as well.never had any problems with this phone except the high battery use it comes with, but when things get bad you have 2 power saving modes to get you through anything.
This is my first smart phone, I liked it so much that a bought a second one for for son who was using a LG smartphone. I can't really compare this phone to other smartphones but my son said it's light years ahead of his old LG smartphone. I really thought it would be difficult to transition from a flip phone to a smartphone but this phone is easy to figure out. The more I use it I'm finding more apps and useful functions that I wouldn't want to live without. If you're on the fence about purchasing a Samsung smartphone buy it, you won't be disappointed.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Durable, Lightweight, i like the big display.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I recently upgraded to a Samsung S5 16GB, and have nothing but great things to say! This was a budget-friendly purchase, as my mobile carrier only keeps the Certified Pre-Owned models in stock. As a mother, my biggest priorities are staying connected and keeping my family safe and organized. I know a good product when I see one...Samsung is a name I have always depended on! ;-)
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Durable, Inexpensive, Lightweight, Built-in speakers, reliable, several choices to fit any need
I would recommend this to a friend!

S5 is a great phone. Easy to use.
Pro It takes be beautiful pictuteos. Has a battery that you can replace. Size is about rightbeasy to hold and fits nicely in pocket. Battery lasts a reasonable time all day unless in in very heavy use. Good sound, good sound clear calls. All is all a very good phone.
Con Not enough storage 16g. You can add a SD card which I did. But it is difficult to make good use of SD card even with special apps. Always running out of room and I don't do games. To compound the storage issue it comes with toobmany apps you can't delete.
It would be nice to be able to set a notification for just txt again could be me.
It has the wide charger to speed up charging. Increases you costs to purchase new charges for car .
