I love this phone, The S6 came out the following week, but I wouldn't trade the S5.

The phone itself is a great phone... Wide screen, easy to navigate, camera takes amazing pics, too many features to list all Downside.... Battery life is short and USB charging cover broke off

The galaxy S5 is the best phone on the market. I have looked at everything available and the S5 has one of the best processors, a 16 MP camera, super easy interface and great battery life with a removable battery should you really need extra battery power. I'm very impressed with this phone and would highly recommend it to anyone.

It says it's water resistant and it is. I dropped in a puddle by accident and it done great. The camera is just awesome.

I recently upgraded from the Samsung Galaxy S4 to this phone and man what a difference. I chose NOT to go with the Galaxy S6 due to a non-removable battery. The camera on the S5 is so much sharper than the S4. This phone was a great upgrade and I am quite happy with it.

This phone is really amazing. At first glance there isn't a huge difference from the S4 but the 2 main things that did it for me is the screen and camera. The screen is the best i've personally seen. The Camera takes good pics as well as records good video (live band and playing on overly distorted speakers ended up sounding pretty decent). I also love the fact i can take a picture of something far away zoom and crop and still have a good looking picture in the end. Heart monitor is cool but i really don't use it for anything practical. Fingerprint scanner, no idea i've never used it and never plan to. Overall great package. Once you take out all the bloatware and customize it to your tastes its really an awesome phone.

We purchased this laptop specifically for the large screen size and fast processor speed. Very happy with it so far!

This phone is easy to use, takes great photos and has many available apps.

I have only had this phone for a day, but, so far, I'm very pleased with it. I bought it instead of the newer S6 model because I was disappointed with the specs on the S6. I am pleased with the screen resolution and the responsiveness. I like that it had a removable battery, an SD card and that it's waterproof, all missing on the S6. I think that it will work out well for me

I upgraded from an SIII and the S5 is miles better in both design and functionality. The body is nice and slim, the color and texture of the back is beautiful and I don't have to worry about it slipping from my hand without a case anymore. The battery lasts almost two full days with moderate use. I will say it comes with a lot of bloat apps and the settings options are far less intuitive than the SIII, but Google helps out with most issues/questions folks might have.

I like the phone a lot. I use it mainly as a PDA, GPS navigator, and a way for people to contact me; it is not my life. The camera is a great substitute for my DSLR in a pinch; the quality of the pictures is very good and the color range is excellent. I have an AT&T version so I am stuck with the bloatware that is foisted on me, although I have disabled as many as I can. I do not use the near field features and only use the Bluetooth for my automobile OBD2 dongle which is great. The phone itself is limited by the android operating system; this phone has the 4.4 Kitkat which I am not real fond of as I really liked 4.3 better as it seemed to be more customizable to the features I liked. I like the bigger screen (I am getting older and my eyes are getting weaker) in a case size that is easy to use with one hand. I also like the fact that Samsung has continued to provide easy access to the SIM card and battery. I also like the SD memory card feature which is the main reason I switched to a Galaxy from an iPhone. I really dislike the flimsy plastic back that Samsung has utilized since I got my first S2 Skyrocket, but I can say that I have not had it break. I do not like phone cases as a general rule, but I got a Spigen Tough Case for this one that I like and appears to not impede any screen functions while providing some extra protection. My S2 kept getting slower as I upgraded the android firmware so I do not plan on doing any upgrades on this phone. Overall this is a great phone that I have no complaints with.

I Love this phone. I'm so clumsy and I drop my phones all the time. When you drop this one, you pick up the battery and pop the back, back on and you're good to go! It's water proof to. You can still text and operate with wet fingers. It's really easy to use too. The external memory is great also, I have so many photos and tons of music. The only thing keeping this phone from five stars is the battery life can't keep up with the usage. The great thing is you can change the battery, but I don't like having to tote around an extra battery and remember to always keep one charged. Charge it in the car.

The phone arrived on time. I found it lightweight and easy to use. The battery saver provided you with a very good amount of battery time.I was very happy to see that.

Fast, long lasting battery and takes great pictures. Similar to the S4 but everything has been upgraded. Very smooth OS

I love this phone. great features. fast. great camera. An improvement over my galaxy3 by leaps & bounds.

This my 3rd Samsung phone (upgrade every 2 years) and it's great.

Works well easy to use long battery life and easy to update.

I like everything about the phone. It is easy to use, takes great photos!!!I can not find any thing wrong with the phone. It does so many things. I can't say enough good about it.It does everything that I want it to do and more! I love the large size screen for viewingof photos,books,movies.

I really like this phone. The camera is great. The only problem I have is that when you put a cover on it, it is hard to access the very top of the screen for the pull down menu and the bottom of the screen for the function buttons. My husband has the same phone with a different cover and he has the same problem. I used to have a Galaxy 3 so going to a 5 was not a big adjustment, but the phone itself is much larger and takes up more room in my pocket, expecially once you put a cover on it. Other than that, I am getting used to the phone and I really do like it.
