I bought a brand new Galaxy S5 when my little warrior S4 took a dive off of a balcony. It fell short. So, so short. EVERYONE complains about the quality of the sound. Cuts out, in a tunnel, robotic sound. It overheats, won't hold a charge, loaded with bloat, locked out of settings. I thought I would be Samsung for life, but this phone may have been the straw that broke the camel's back.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color
Cons: Did not meet expectations, Poor quality
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have been a loyal samsung customer. I have all the kitchen appliances, the tv, the dvd/blur ray, sound bar, had the tablet which did not last 2 years and the phone which did not last 3!
From this point I will no longer buy samsung for mobile devices! They just do not last like other phones!
Cons: Did not meet expectations, Poor quality, sim card reader just quit random now wont work
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

My first Samsung smartphone

The S5 was my first Samsung phone. I remember looking up new phones that were out and trying to find what I thought was the best one. The s5's water/dustproof is what made me pick it for my upgrade that year. That phone went through he'll with me and still kept right on going. Thanks Samsung that phone ultimately started my obsession/loyalty to your products.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Durable
I would recommend this to a friend!

There are some features on my new Note 8 that will not function. I cannot find the advanced menu on the camera to take slow-motion movies. I have research on how to bring up the menu to change modes and followed the instructions, However, the menu will not open.
The edge lighting for the notifications will not work.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
