    I was reluctant to get a smartphone. This one is very easy to use and I was able to adapt quickly. I still have not fully exhausted it's capabilities.

    I decided to give the S5 a try, though I'm generally and apple guy. It can do some cool things, however, the phone wears much faster. already the cap on the power port won't close, which throughs the whole water proof thing out the window. Disappointing considering I've only had the phone for a month...

    Best android phone to date. Super fast processor, high resolution screen, camera, water proof. Whats not to love? Fingerprint scanner and heart rate monitor is a plus. Only downside is the plastic body.

    The only thing that would have been better is if we could have got one for the kids also. 2 new so was enough for one day. Love the updates from the s3. Nice job and best buy made activating it easy.

    The ultra battery saver where you can still recieve calls and texts and check the internet is great for traveling. Plus water proof is a big plus.

    Thin, light and easy to hold. Screen big enough to see without being so big is it hard to hold and use. Battery settings to go 12 days in reserve.

    I like the phone over all, the phone, it is a little to big for the pants pocket, The larger screen is nice. So to have the screen I deal with the size of phone, it is ease to use is nice. I do like the setting screen but all Samsung maybe the same as this one, I had a Motorola droid 4 before this one.

    I really wish that the Engineers would stop making changes that drastically change the way that you use the device, menu buttons should remain the same always, as they do with competitors products.

    This phone does waaay more than I can explain here. Suffice it to say that if there is something you need that it won't do, and DO WELL, it probably can't be done by a single electronic device!

    Great phone. I wanted a BIG phone I could see the screen of without my glasses. Had a Note II and lost it, went to replace it and found the S5 was nearly as big, but not as "large" in my pocket.
