    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.

    I know Galaxy s6 is out but with no external memory options on the new phones I like this one better. Battery life is great and having the USB 3.0 connectivity is an added advantage. Took one star off because the camera is not the best. My wife has a iPhone 6 and the results from that camera are much better.

    The phone is incredible easy to set up and use. It has an incredible battery life for as large and connected as it is. However, sometimes the batter will only last for 6-7 hours, and I have yet to figure out what causes the sudden drain. Most of the time it is great. The resolution is incredible, text is so sharp I can actually read books on it. The native Samsung apps are very useful and easy to use; especially S Voice, S Health and Samsung Link.

    Best phone by far I owned. Excellent screen, colors, and features. Fast as can be; phone calls sound crisp and clear. Works with Bluetooth in car without fail. I was a bit worried that phone was a bit to large but I've not had any issues with carrying in front jeans pocket. Can be used easily with one hand. The wireless charging is awesome; I will never own a phone without it. Get this phone; I can't believe anyone could be disappointed.

    The best Galaxy ever

    My family and I owned all Galaxy models. For me, the Galaxy IV was perfect. The Galaxy V is the IV with improvements where it matters most: Battery. The ultra saving mode is amazing. Besides that, I couldn't find any match for the camera pictures, they are far better than the other smartphones. The weatherproof feature already saved me the phone.

    I have been a Blackberry owner for about nine years, so this is the first non-BlackBerry phone in a few years. This is also the first touch screen phone I have ever used or owned. I am very surprised at how easy it was to change to this phone. The phone is larger than the BlackBerry but it was easy to adapt to the larger size.

    My wife and I each upgraded from the S3 and could not be happier! These phones can do anything and being water resistant is an added bonus! Now, I have not dropped it in water but I have been on the phone in the rain and answered calls when I was sweating and had no reservations about it messing up. Highly recommend this phone.

    Had S3. Did not want the S6 as you cannot access the battery nor add a memory card. The S5 allowed me to add an extended battery and memory card. Less than a month later ATT updated from 4.4 KitKat to 5.0. Update improved the fingerprint accuracy. No regrets.

    Had the S5 now for a month and able to compare with family members who have either the M8 or iPhone 6, feature for feature, the S5 either at par or better, for example, battery life is better, camera resolution is amazing and for less money than iPhone 6. Liked the S5 so much that I opted for the Samsung Tablet to replace iPad2.

    The Samsung galaxy S 5 4G Cell phone has great features for all your needs. At home, work, social activities and more. Its like having a computer in your hand at all times. I have made a choice to get my entire family on Samsung. The Cell phone also works well with my samsung tablet, i still learning how to work them both.

    You can't beat the price. I got it for $1 on Black Friday. I love that the screen is so much bigger and it's more durable and waterproof than the previous versions.

    The S5 has a great feel to it in your hand. It feels durable and has great clarity with no dropped calls so far with the ATT plan I have with it. 16mp camera is a big plus and the Android and Galaxy apps are very useful. The large screen is beautiful and the "S Voice" hands free app is very useful to me on the go.

    I'm coming from a blackberry phone and was teetering between samsung and apple. I think I made the best choice with a bigger screen, expandable memory, multiple windows, great picture quality, great sound, and great available apps. It's user friendly and a great value for the price.
