    I had the Galaxy S3 and upgraded to the S5. Samsung took out some of the best features of the S3 and S4 that actually make the phone less user friendly. But they did add some features that for some will still make it worth while. The fact alone that the basic Galaxy S5 model is now water resistant is a huge plus. Overall I'm happy with my decision to stick with Samsung.

    Phone was great, service from Best Buy was excellent. Only drawback on phone is the poor battery life. Will do business again with Best Buy!

    I have had a big problem with this phone. At least once a day the screen will go completely black and the battery must be removed in order to reboot the phone. Sometimes I can't get it to work for 1/2 hour. When it works, the phone is great. That's the only reason I gave it 3 stars. I'm currently going through the warranty process with Verizon to get it replaced since best buy will do NOTHING for you without geek squad protection. That's right, NOTHING!

    I upgraded to the s5 and love it. The size is perfect for me and the os runs smoothly. I have quite a few games on here and there have been no issues. I tried a different phone before and endedicated up going back to the galaxy. Best phone ever!

    Picked this up over the Black Friday weekend. Phone is very similar to GS4. Considering it was free with 2 yr activation, I am more than happy.

    The S 5 phone works very good, but the documentation on the features is very poor and incomplete, which results in a lot of trial and error.
