    My only complaint is the camera has a very hard time focusing in low light. Unlike my previous phone cameras this one does not allow me to manually focus on my subjects (or if it does I can't figure it out), so I have a lot of blurry non-action photos of my kids. I even tried installing other camera apps and still have the same problem. The screen is a good size. I like the Samsung keyboard, and the home button is a very nice feature. I like the pre-installed kids mode for my two year old.

    This is my upgrade from an Galaxy SIII, and it's exactly what I expected from a two-generation update. There are real improvements all-around in speed, battery life, screen-quality (ESPECIALLY IN BRIGHT LIGHT!) and overall "feel." It can also be dimmed enough to work beautifully in a theater or a 2:30 AM time-check. Samsung continues to be the one of the only manufacturers dedicated to removable batteries and MicroSD card slots. Plus, the Galaxy waterproof now. I'm not a big fan of the garbage Verizon forces into this phone, but Samsung did something cool. You can actually "disable" most of the Verizon apps while you're in the App Drawer menu. Cool. If you're not into fashion statements, and you want a phone that just works and is expandable, go for it.

    Samsung Galaxy S 5 is very user friendly. Being my very first smart phone, I was worried about learning all the functions but I navigated through it quite easily. S 5 camera also takes some great pics.

    Now that the S6 has come out, this phone can be had at a low price. It is a great choice in Android phones for people that might not need everything the S6 offers. Relatively large screen and easy to use.

    Compared to the S3, the S5 is functionally about the same. However, the S5 is massively faster and the screen is clear as a bell.

    I like the phone and all of the features on it, but it's a bit big for my taste. Hard to type while using only 1 hand.
