    I'm very pleased with this phone and still haven't mastered all the features, but would still give it my endorsement. A few highlights: Kids Mode allows you hand your phone to the little ones and not worry about them accidentally making any changes to your settings, the camera has so many features I am still trying to get them straight, but tons of megapixels, though I must note that the lag to take a photo is noticeable versus the iphone (at least subjectively to me). The Ultra Power Save mode is straight up ridiculous! Haven't seen days worth of battery time since ye olde clamshell days... One unfortunate note, I ended up paying full price for my phone b/c I didn't want to lose my unlimited data with Verizon, but...the Verizon version of the GS5 takes away 2 other cool features available to other carriers. Wireless tethering which would have been built in is disabled (encouraging you to purchase the $20/mo tethering plan from Big Red...though there are alternatives in the Play store for this purpose). The other feature that I'm bummed about is that the deal with dropbox for free 50gb of storage for 2 years is also not available with Verizon. So I suppose these gripes are with Verizon, but I just wanted to warn potential buyers. Overall, I'm very happy with my phone and would still give it a thumbs up.

    It is a good phone with latest bells and whistles. It is water resistant! Coupled with a Defender Otter box mine seems safe from most things. There are things I am still trying and learning. I am having trouble with actions requiring data. Where my other phone was made right before 4G here, it is not. I can call and text but have difficulty with apps needing data. So even though I have connection at not quite 4G, it tells me I have none. It is a good phone.

    Highly responsive screen, and fast processor. There is a long lasting battery,that can be made to last even longer in ultra power saving mode. Speaker is loud and clear. Micrope one can occasionally be too soft if mouth not postponed properly.

    Phone is fast, no noticeable lag, No real problems so far with any App incompatibilities. Battery life is stellar and the 'Ultra" power saver mode works to stretch that last 10%. Often overlooked, the voice quality is excellent, both transmit and receive. I've had no problems with drops or noise.

    Let me start by saying... I love this phone! I upgraded from the Samsung Galaxy S 3 to my S 5 and couldn't be happier. Samsung makes great products that are solid, and durable. The battery life is great and I use my phone for everything from surfing the Web to games, social media, and everything in between!
