    I have always been a big Motorola person but they don't have a lot of style to their phones. I have some Samsung products and decided to upgrade and switch over to Samsung phones. I made the switch about a month ago and have been pleased since. The phones have a brilliant color display and are easy to use. Camera takes great pictures and the folder feature is nice to have for organizing your apps or what ever else. Battery life is average to me as a moderate user. I still have enough to last all day, however it can run short at times. I don't really make many calls or text and try to use wifi as often as possible. Phone is supposed to be durable but due to cost of phone I use the otter box for protection.

    Love the phone! Pairs easily with my tab pro and does everything I need it to. Also moving my music from my itunes was simple after downloading an app.

    Overall the phone is a good phone. Not as awesome as the commercials say but still good. My Droid MAXX HD started down the path of no return and since no more Droids are being made the Galaxy S5 was the best choice. I had a few problems the first few days but was able to resolve them by searching the internet. One being that the phone would stay awake while being charged. Turns out there's a developers section on the phone that allows to change that. Not sure why there needs to be a developers section on the phone. Or why anyone would want their phone to stay awake in the middle of the night while charging. Doesn't seem like that was thought out real well. I have a particular app that worked fine before switching phones that now barely works at all. Forums show others having same problem but not sure if it's the phone or the app yet. I do like the dual screen option allowing you to look at links you open while in FB or other websites as well as work on email while looking at a PDF. Wish it was a little easier to share whats on your phone to TV, tablets, etc.

    I previously had the samsung galaxy s4, and I thought getting the 5 would be a nice upgrade. However, there wasn't much of a difference. Some of the display features that changed, I actually don't like, and the Camera hasn't grown on me yet. It is suppose to be better, but why do most of my pictures look blurry? Anyway, if you never had the samsung galaxy 4, you might actually really like this phone. So I would reccomend this phone to others, depends on one's needs.
