    It's a great pocket computer. Graduated from an S4 to S5 and the feature upgrades are really nice. Fingerprint scanner, heart rate monitor, waterproof!, and better app interfaces for samsung apps, its a great upgrade.

    Does not ring all the time. When it does it gives a short ring, stops, then a short ring and stops again. Even with the volume setting for ringer and "system" (?) at the max setting I can barely even hear it. Text messages don't always come through or the message indicator doesn't show there have been messages received. I tried a Samsung several years ago and returned it for a different phone within a week because the phone would get so hot when in use. It was the only phone I have ever returned. I wouldn't even consider a Samsung after that. Talked into this one by my daughter and completely regret having given it another try. I have been sorely reminded that Samsung is NOT a good brand cell phone. THIS particular phone is actually THE WORST I have ever owned. Going to try taking it back to Verizon and see if they can check it to see if maybe I just got a defective phone

    Previously had Samsung Stratosphere. Only reason I got S5 was to use with Galaxy Gear watch. Using watch, I don't have to take phone out of my pocket or out of holster to answer calls or texts. I can even leave phone on my desk and move around my office. I miss having physical keyboard to text, but can't find them anymore.

    Overall great phone. I spent a lot of time comparing multiple models and found that the S5 is everything I need in a phone. No complaints, and has been working perfect for the couple months since I bought it.

    I broke up with my iPhone to try the galaxy s5. So far I'm enjoying a new interface and customizing my phone beyond anything I could previously do. Great buy!

    I love this phone. I've owned at least 15 phones over the years and this one is the best. I'm not an iPhone guy so Android is my baby. This phone is fast and has all the features you could want.

    This phone was easy to set up, learn to use and use immediately. It is very quick in responding to commands, easy texting and photos. Sharing is vey easy. We got a second one because we liked this one so much.
