    Good phone, but I expected more continuity from previous Galaxy generations in its operation. Even Best buy and Samsung reps were baffled by some of its functionality. I switched to Verizon from Sprint and find more dropped calls than I had with Sprint. I'm also incredibly annoyed at Verizon's endless attempts to sell me something extra when im just trying to use my phone. For example, there's no way to get rid of the message that asks me if I want to sunscribe to visual voicemail every time I check voicemail. Verizon also refuses to allowcustomers to listen to their voicemails without inputting a password every time. I already entered a password to unlock the phone. Why do I need to do it again to listen to voicemail? Stupid.

    Verizon is too powerful as is Samsung foremost. The phone is nice does everything but all that resource hungry software but in skimp you on storage .♤time to get my hands on the Internet and phone's not rooted. .such an badly used practice and Verizon and Samsung are working together to make us all poor. Data monatization is too much expense to feel like you are an smart person for doing this of course. ... unless you own stocks with them good idea to have a protection plan to fully empty your wallet every month and minimally annoy those Verizon executives trying to bankrupt you. The phone is nice though.

    This is a great up grade from my galaxy 3; I absolutely love the picture quality and the ease of use. However, the phone comes with a bloatware screen that the app can be disabled or uninstalled but then every time I scroll over, a pop up says "application not installed". This is annoying. I should be able to make my home screens function the way I want them to and not be bogged down with unwanted applications-that cost money! I love the memory capacity and the battery is a huge improvement as I had to charge my 3 in the middle of the day, or have an extra battery. I haven't tested the underwater capabilities yet!

    I traded in my old, not working very well, smartphone. I was not aware of the $200 trade in till I got to Best Buy and I was sooo happy to get a new phone ONLY PAID TAX that was a good deal! The Samsung GalaxyS5 is amazing and so user friendly that I am thrilled to have this and enjoy all the cool features.The pics are awesome and use it all the time.
