    I have found the Galaxy S5 to be everything it advertised itself as. Great screen, quick processor, and ultimate flexibility with the Android OS.

    Samsung has lived up to their previous standards (S2, S3, and S4 owner). This phone has a great camera and loads apps very quickly. Very happy with the purchase and glad to not pay the cost of the S6 model! The only drawback is the camera speed in some settings. Does not always happen, but occasionally delays between shots.

    I have had excellent luck with this device! Takes excellent pictures and is super fast! The ultra power saving mode is great! There's also an app that counts your steps and tracks your sleeping habbits. It also has a heart rate monitor that also tells you your o2 levels.

    Samsung does it again. The S5 is by far the best smartphone I have ever used. It's snappy, has plenty of storage for apps and games, and the screen on it is amazing. I love the built-in app that allows me to take pictures with the front and rear camera at the same time. It allows for a lot of fun shots. The new HDR mode also improves picture quality. I couldn't be more pleased with this phone.

    This phone is waterproof. That in and of itself should instantly grab attention. This earns only 4 of 5 stars because there is SO much customization that you can do to truly make this phone yours that it becomes almost an exercise in futility. It can be overwhelming to the everyday user (my wife) who can easily get lost navigating the multitude of settings. The quick guide style manual is actually pretty helpful for simply getting started to learn a few unique features. To date I have nothing overtly negative to say.

    I love this phone. The only problem I have, the phone is smarter than I am. Really my first major phone purchased. I understand they have a class for the Galaxy S5. I think I will take this class. There are functions this phone has that my others didn't. Phone is functional and fun to use.

    Still Learning, but Great Phone, Especially Camera

    I don't need all the extras that come already on the phone, and slowly am removing those that are just taking up space, but I love the phone otherwise. The camera is awesome! Still wish there was Face Time like the IPhone, because not a lot of people have Skype downloaded on their phones, but I know that's just the Apple Signature and I didn't want to change to an IPhone just for that. I do like the easy of operating this upgraded model of Samsung phone, without having to learn a whole new set of instructions. I'm very hopeful the battery life will be every bit as good as promised for this phone, as that was definitely a downer on the one I had before.

    Originally had the Galaxy S II, which I loved, so I decided to upgrade. At first, it took a while to get used to the size, but now the size doesn't phase me. Responds very quick, plenty of storage space, just an overall great phone!!

    This phone is top notch. Processes tasks quickly. Has a battery that lasts all day with heavy usage. Camera is awesome and picture quality is mind blowing. My only negative is that some apps freeze up when too much is running in background.
