    This is my second S-5. I love them. Only complaint would be the sound. Speaker is fair at best....

    Battery life is great and the quick charger is awesome. The camera is better then I thought and all the features that i continue to find are amazing. The Samsung apps and everything that can go with the phone make it even better

    Upgraded from my S4 and really enjoy the improvements that they have made with the S5. Could not pass up the price that I received also.

    Over all love this phone. Pictures and video are great. Battery life is good for the size of the screen on this phone. The speaker is terrible like most phones, could of done a better job. Phone may be just a tick too big for me...

    I have had this phone for about a month now. I switched from an Iphone to this one. I love it! I love the size! It is nicer when looking at pictures, Facebook, videos, etc. Sometimes bigger is better! I still have a lot to learn about all this phone can do, but I'm slowly learning and will soon master a lot more of than I do now. I highly recommend this phone.

    I love this phone and I am completely satisfied with it. The only issue is that I keep getting popups with suggested apps. So annoying.

    It was a difficult choice between the HTC ONE M8 and the S5. The HTC is a beautiful phone with a garbage camera and I use my phone as a camera so that ultimately was the deciding factor. I ALWAYS put a case on my phone so the HTC would be covered up anyway and the HTC is also taller than the S5 and in my opinion the S5 is already huge. If you dont care about the camera and you dont use a case the HTC M8 is for you. I dont listen to music unless I am synced to my car or wearing headphones so the speakers on the M8 are irrelevant. If you are rough on a phone, use it for a camera and always put a case on your phones the S5 is for you. I have run many benchmark tests on my S5 and have beaten the M8 in all of them so dont believe everything you read. The battery life has been very good. I usually keep it on power save mode and after 12 hours of normal use I still have over 60% battery life. If you are concerned about the Touchwiz overlay I was able to disable almost all of it.

    The salesman was not good though. He forgot to put in my contact list. I had to go to the phone store and have them put it in for me. :(

    I like many of the things that are similar to the S3 as I was used to it. Some of the things that work different I am still getting used to. I got this phone so I wouldn't have a learning curve when changing. Some things are better, can't say anything is worse. Love that it charges so fast, and lasts a long time. Not so happy about a different connector, as I had a few of the mini USB types. I will likely get an additional charger cord, as I travel and may misplace it, or it will be here and I will need it there.

    I replaced my iPhone with this phone and I am very happy with it. The screen is much bigger and the camera and sound is far superior.
