Nicest phone I've owned to date. Fast, very good display and Samsung's interface is very good. Android Lollypop is not too shabby ether. Placement of On/Off button in relationship to Volume buttons is poor in my opinion. Tendency to push Volume and On/Off at the same time when using one hand.
Pros: Bright display, not too big or too small, fast processor
Cons: no removable battery, no sim card provision, placement side buttons, unwanted programs
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not my favorite phone

A little awkward to handle with one hand. Camera takes elongated photos.
The phone is great don't get me wrong, but the thing that I find that isn't to attractive is the design of the phone. Let's narrow this down, I'm talking about how it feels in your hand. If you use a case for your phone such as an OtterBox Defender, you are good to go. If you decide not to use a case, when I sometimes take my phone out of my OtterBox it feels very slippery, I feel like it's going to fall out of my hands. The shape of the phone is really odd in my opinion.
I have had this phone since it launched and I love it. I wish it had a metal casing instead of the glass. To me it feels kind of cheap. Overall it looks sharp. The camera is nice. It seems like it may be slowing down though it tries to focus and it's blurry sometimes. Maybe it just needs an update. The battery is really the only complaint i have. You can literally watch your battery die. Samsung does give a quick charger with the phone. You'll need it I promise. I have to keep my phone on save mode.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Lightweight, i bought it for the camera!
Cons: poor battery life, feels like it will easily break
