    THANK YOU FOR BRINGING IR BACK! Great phone, quick, well built, I love it. Water resistant is a huge plus, great screen. AT&T's bloat could be done without, but nothing a root and freeze can't fix (mostly).

    This was a definite upgrade from my last phone, well needed and well worth the price of admission. This phone is fast, especially after you turn-off all the bloat-ware that comes preinstalled and turned on. The features are many and ergonomically it's easy to handle and use. I thought it would be to large, but to my surprise it feels very comfortable and is a breeze to use. I'm no phone geek, but I highly recommend this phone for the comfort, features and ease of use.

    I have been an iPhone person since they first came out... Until a year ago. I purchased the Note 2 and there was a lot for me to learn, but I fell in love with Samsung and vowed to never go back! I recently purchased the Galaxy S5 for my son and after helping him set his up... I just had to have one! This has been the best phone I've ever owned!! The graphics are amazing, it's fast, has a great camera, the perfect size, and the list could go on forever!!!

    I finally went to a smart phone and this is it! My transition was made from a Razr to a BlackberryTorch because of its option with slide out keyboard. I now felt graduated to total touch phone. One item I really wanted was a good camera like in the Razr and I will say I am impressed so far with its 4x zoom. The video feature is very easy to use. I had found the Torch a good experience so was interested in the Droid as well. I went to the net to compare various features. This phone was consistently mentioned as a good value. Each feature is intuitive, well mostly, and I was able to figure out everthing I needed. So I am now enjoying my exploration of various apps.

    I replaced my Galaxy Note with this phone. I wanted a slightly smaller screen this time. The screen size is perfect for me. This phone does things fast which I enjoy. The pictures that I take are awesome. I use this phone for music, pics, texting, netflix, and many other things. The phone calls are clear and the outter speaker is pretty good. I also love the little buzz when you touch it and it lets you know you have something waiting like a text msg.

    Going from the 3 to the 5 was a nice upgrade and the price was right. It only cost $1. Great battery life and the camera is much better.

    My wife did the research, and we both upgraded to this from the S3. It's relatively easy to use, takes great photos, and works well.

    I definitely love the phone. Takes great pictures and videos. So far the response has been very fast, facebook is the only app that seems to lock up the phone, not sure why that is.Also not sure why it came with a 2 plug cable since, my micro cable works just fine. It is water proof, I dropped it into the sink and bathtub filled with water. Looks like it can take a drop from 4 feet. both times it still worked. But again time will tell.

    I upgraded from a S3 and it was a no brainer. The S5 has a better and bigger display, MUCH better battery life and basically didn't cost me anything out of pocket. The S6 was just about to come out but I didn't want to pay the premium price. Also, the S5 will allow you to switch out batteries and micro SD cards which you can't do anymore with the S6. This is my 3rd phone in the Galaxy family.

    I bought the Galaxy S5 to uparade from my S2. Much improved battery life. I no longer worry about the battery not lasting the day. The larger screen is great.

    I have always been big fan of Samsung phones. I upgraged from Galaxy S3 to Galaxy S5. I feel very much satisfied with the improved hardware. Battery life is much much better as compared to S3. Camera is gr8 with lots of new features. Processing is improved. Overall, it is the best smartphone I have come across.

    Samsung Galaxy S-5 is perhaps the best personal smartphone! Everything about it is great - look, feel, touch! Initially I thought the size could be a concern - it will be too big! In fact, now I love it! The bigger font and type help me to read and write better. Why should you look at anything else? The next big thing is here....
