    This phone is faster than my prior Galaxy S3. The battery lasts longer despite the upgraded functionality. For Android users, you will be very satisfied.

    I changed the phone from a too big note 2 to a perfect s5. I also love the waterproof and ease of use. I will not leave a Samsung phone for anything else. I am a droid lover so if not into droid go elsewhere

    This is a great phone for the price. Love being able to personalize it to my liking and I like being able to add a memory card for more storage space.

    I bought these phone for my wife to replace her Iphone and she likes it so much better. She loves that you can add an SD card for more storage as opposed to having to purchase storage on the Icloud.

    Improved and new features, easier to use, better keyboard, brighter display and better applications make this an all-inclusive winner. Transition to S5 was easy as my previous smartphone was an S3.

    Samsung didn't really upgrade the Galaxy series phones enough from 4 to 5 but it is still a great phone. The camera is also really high quality. I like it better than the S6 since it was the last phone to have a removable battery and also external add-on memory. I will be keeping this phone for a while!

    Not impressed

    I decided to switch from an IPhone 5S to the Galaxy S5. I made the switch May 2, and feel I have given this phone a fair shot. This phone after a few weeks of use, started freezing and restarting. Within the past week it has started to restart itself. Another con is the amount of unecessary apps on this phone. I have noticed that my data usage has gone up with no change to my amount of use. The battery is awful. Cannot work a full 12 hour shift without having to charge it. I'm a RN and have no time to be on my phone while working. I'm not impressed with Samsung and when my upgrade comes up I will cross back over to the dark side and purchase an Apple product.

    I love the larger screen on the S5. It's easier to read than the older models, keeps the great features of previous generations, and has some great new features. I get a kick out of "Okay, Google" and getting questions answered. This phone was the easiest Bluetooth pairing I've had; it even features a text message to let others know you're driving and unavailable to answer. My learning curve is pretty steep, but I'm sure enjoying this phone. Oh, and I love the color!

    The Best Buys store I was at was very busy. Staff was courteous, apologized for the line up. At my turn, I felt important. Staff was knowledgeable. In no time I was out and had a nice new phone.

    It's a good Android smartphone. It's solid and an improvement over the Galaxy 4. It does need to be rebooted every so often because its connection to the internet will occasionally freeze.
