    this phone is phenomenal. It has a sketch app that allows me to create drawings that are amazing right on my phone. It also has an S Pen which allows me to hand write notes that then transition easily and very accurately to type. The dictation app works smoothly. I actually like the size of the phone. I do not find it to be cumbersome or too large. I waited almost 2 years to be able to obtain the best phone/tablet on the market. It was worth the wait!

    I recently switched to the Samsung Galaxy S 5 4G LTE Cell Phone from the IPhone 4S. My IPhone was starting to act buggy after 2 years and battery life would only last a few hours. Several people in my office made the switch from IPhone to Samsung Galaxy so I decided to listen to them. I am so glad that I did. The Samsung Galaxy is an excellent phone. I can last the entire day without a charge, It is easy to maneuver around. I am a big fan.....

    I've always had samsung cell phones and I love how easy they are to use. This model is also a little slimmer and has a sleeker design.

    Overall I'm really liking this phone. I'm coming off the Droid Razr Maxx that has a great battery and that's an important aspect of a phone for me as I don't want to be a slave to my chargers. If you're a heavy user and don't keep this phone plugged in you'll probably run through the battery in about 12-14 hours I would guesstimate. I like to take photos with my phone and this phone takes really nice pictures most of the time, there are times when the photos come out very blurry for what seems to be no reason. Lots of options for different photo modes on the camera itself which is a nice touch. The phone itself is comfortable in my hand, I do have fairly large hands but it does have an option to shrink down the screen for people with smaller hands. Finger print scanner works pretty good, I'd say it hits about 90-95% of the time. Just make sure you swipe your thumb twice, once straight up and down and once at a bit of an angle how you would typically unlock the phone in a rush.

    Great phone with loads of features . I'm into galaxy phones for a long time couse they are all awesome but when I got s5 it was a phone on a whole new level . I like everything about s5 . I even use it in the shower and it still works perfect. The thing I dont like about it is that its slippery sometimes . I say buy this phone and you will love it .

    Very pleased so far. The transission from iPhone was not as difficult as I expected. There was a lot of bloatwear from Verizon, but the phone itself works much better than iphone.

    I had an iPhone 4S and I was not happy with it constantly needing to be charged. I researched different phones and after reading all the great reviews for the Galaxy's I decided to change to the android system. I LOVE IT!!! The camera is great..so many neat features. The battery life compared to the iPhone is AWESOME!! I highly recommend this phone.

    The Galaxy S5 has a long battery life. The screen is very responsive to the light touch and easy to see in all conditions. I'm very impressed with how fast the phone operates. Love being able to open two applications at once. Overall the Galaxy S5 is a very well thought out smartphone.

    We have two of the Samsung Galaxy 5 phones, and have been very pleased with them. We are especially pleased with how long they hold the charge, compared to our previous phones.

    Samsung has yet to fail

    Samsung is still at the top of their game. I have had Samsung's Galaxy S3 and S4 phones prior to this phone. There were a few minor changes Samsung had made such as the external appeared and the User Interface. Instead of accessing your task manager by holding down the home button you would touch the menu button. When the phone came out the camera shutter sound was fixed so you couldn't turn it off. But with updates it is no longer fixed which is a major plus. My phone processes everthing quickly and efficiently. I have personally never had any problems with this phone and the phones prior along with all other Samsung products.
