    I replaced my Droid 2 with this phone and am very pleased so far. It does take a bit to get used to after my antiquated droid. I highly recommend taking the free class offered at Best Buy - Learned a lot in an hour. The phone is easy to handle, seems to be very durable, and has great apps installed. The power saving mode is great!

    This phone does so much I'm still learning new features. Battery life is exceptional 3-4 days. One is the best features is the voice to text. No more hitting the wrong letter with fat fingers. Lots of preloaded apps. I'm totally satisfied with the phone and case.

    This phone is an upgrade from a Droid phone. Best Buy set the phone up for me while I waited. It was easy for me to start using the phone from the first day. I find the display much easier to read and look at than my previous phone. The calling display is much nicer to read. Sound quality (on calls) is a huge requirement for me -- and this phone is great on that feature. I was surprised to find that the camera made such high quality photos. I don't use the camera feature of cell phones often -- but I was somewhere without my camera -- so I used my cell phone to take the pictures. They were great!

    Even with newer and greater phones out, this one still packs a huge punch. Only .2 Ghz lower clock speed than the note 4, it is just as speedy. As far as verizon goes, rooting is incredibly difficult and custom roms cannot even be run after rooting it without partioning your storage, making it run out very quickly. The OLED screen is nice, but I do wish it had the quality of the note's screen. Disappointed that they made the bottom left button the tab menu instead of holding down home, but there's workarounds to everything. Also, not being able to remove the news thing without a personal launcher is quite annoying. But with the ability to customize more than any other phone, all your problems can be worked out if you really want it to be.

    I got this phone after having a Droid RAZR and it's like night and day. This phone is faster and way easier to use. The camera is fantastic as well. Also it is actually waterproof as I found out when my daughter thought it was funny to throw it in the toilet.

    I love my Samsung S5! I don't have to keep charging it every time I turn around. It is so responsive, easy to use, and so smart. Truly a really nice cell phone.

    This is a great phone. Great resolution. Great sound. Phone calls very clear. The only negative for me was the size - larger than my old Motorola Razr M. Hard to get used to since I carry in my pocket. I returned for an iPhone 5s and am disappointed. Oh, well. Will definitely consider a Samsung for my next phone in 2 years.

    Easy to use, great features, larger screen makes it so much easier to view all apps. The camera is exceptional, took a trip out to the Grand Canyon and took many photos while a passenger in the moving car. Never a blurry pic, even when driving at 50 mph!

    Samsung one upped the iPhone, 5 months before the iPhone came out. Seriously, I tried to buy the iPhone 6. Comparing the two, storage, price, processor, camera, SD Card, Speed of functions... and overall bang for the buck. Maybe next time Apple will win the day, but not this go around.

    As a former iPhone user I can honestly say I really missed having android software and the equipment specs like on the s5. The camera alone was worth a change, not to mention the slot for micro SD cards so you can expand your media library or whatever!
