    Pleased with the phone but not with the fact that is was once an AT&T phone and my network is T-Mobile. Everything works fine but the AT&T apps are not able to be fully deleted, simply disabled.

    I read the reviews before purchase. Most were good and a few were not. I was looking for a decent phone but not excessively expensive but not that shabby either, this phone fits that perfectly. Came brand new and fairly simple to set up. Does not come with a SIM card so buy a byop kit before hand.

    I am very happy with this phone. At first I thought thought about taking it back because of the data cable it came with, then realized I didn't have to use that cable. I can use the cables and car charger I already have. It takes great pictures, but I do wish it could zoom in a little more.

    Love this phone. So worth the price. I was having issue with old carrier and when I went to different carrier's store to switch provider the clerk wanted to know how I got such a good deal. Her mom needed new phone.

    I purchased two Galaxy S5 phones. Both work fine except one will not connect to the internet unless I am within 10 ft. of the modem. The other works fine all over. I am having trouble getting help to solve the problem and I am considering returning the phones.

    My unlocked phone is exactly what I wanted. It's fast, and performs all the functions I need. The only drawback is that it's an ATT phone and has way to many ATT dedicated apps.

    My teen daughter needed an upgrade from the S4 but we didn't want to break the bank on a S8. She is perfectly happy with this phone - states the camera takes better pictures. Only downside so far seems to be decrease in battery life.

    This is a great phone and because I always purchase my phones outright, it was a great deal. The performance is perfect and the LTE voice on the AT&T network is outstanding.

    We bought 2 Galaxy S5 phones to use with Consumer Cellular for the price of one iPhone S6. The phone is a definite upgrade from our old S4's.
