    Samsung should give a hard cover case with their phone. The front cracked within 3 days, in my pocket. At least have fragile stickers on glass. Also I understand S6 doesn't have a replaceable battery so I bought the S5. The reason I switched from my iPhone was the battery would not hold a charge after 2 years. I think the cell phones are a big money maker for manufacturers since you build them to become obsolete. I'm retired on a fixed income I can't afford to replace every 2 yrs. Not happy but it's my only phone. You have a captive customer. It sucks.

    This is the best phone I've had in a while. Having two windows open at the same time solves other surfing problems!

    The ability to add an extra storage card for more pictures and music and not have to pay for it was worth it for me!

    For me going from a flip to the S5 was a quantum leap but it has been very easy and the transition well worth it!!

    I had this phone for a while then got an iPhone, the thing with Galaxy phones is longevity and update support. Samsung has a habit of loading their phones with unneeded apps you never asked for and normally can't even remove. After a while of owning it the phone just got plain laggy even with complete wipes. The camera was good, as well as the design and screen though. But like I said with Galaxy phones, they make these phones to perform for two years, then after that get ready to buy a new one

    I like the screen, health apps, and hardware. I like the quad core. 2GB of ram is good but 3 or 4 would be better.
