    Upgraded from the Note 2. This phone has much better options. Was worried that it would be much bigger, but it isn't that big of a difference.

    Highly recommend this phone! Was going to get the new Note 4 but this was a much better size for me and with all the benefits of the Note. 4!

    This was an easy transition from my HTC EVO phone, and I love the upgraded camera. Still learning some idiosyncrasies, though, like sometimes a touch isn't enough ( or screen just locks up?).

    Typical Samsung phone. This version really dumbed down the language of the features, making it more difficult to find settings. They also changed a lot of the options and made it nearly impossible to fine tune the performance of the phone. After having this phone for 3 weeks, the earpiece quit working during the middle of the phone call. I tried troubleshooting on my own, but failed. I took it in to geek squad and they were also unable to fix it. luckily, they were able to replace with a new phone, not refurbished. Having not dropped it and being careful with it since it was brand new, there should not have been a hardware malfunction when I've had for less than a month. This will do, but will probably be my last Samsung phone for a long time. If I could go back, I would probably purchase the LG3 instead.

    I have the note 3 and got the s 5 for my son when it was on sale for black Friday. He loves the phone and I think it's really nice too. I may even go for the s 6 when it's time to upgrade.

    Upgraded from S3 to S5. Responsiveness was much better and clarity of photos/video made worth the upgrade.

    I was in need of a new phone. I bought this phone on sale about a month ago for $1.00. I am still finding new things it will do. The pictures that I have printed off of it come out great.

    I made the change from iphone to samsung for the variety and difference. I have enjoyed the change and do not regret the decision, so far.
