    Apps load very quickly and run with no slow-down during use. Battery life is the best I've seen in a phone in years. The screen is large and the touchscreen has almost no lag. Fingerprint security is easy to set up and very accurate. The only thing I really don't like about the phone is the unbelievable number of pre-loaded Samsung apps that are difficult to use and impossible to uninstall.

    Too many included features make it hard to find what you want. To get to somethings you swipe left, some up, some down, some right. Seemingly no rhyme or reason. Cannot access many features without looking and using two hands. That should be fixed. Why can't I answer my phone without looking at it for example?

    Purchased these to replace old phones. So far so good. Speed is awesome but then I suppose that depends on your carrier. Still learning all the features.

    I meant to order the black version, but the blue is nicer than expected--not garish. The OS is fast, the battery life great so far. Way to go, Samsung.

    Despite the short battery life and the fact that the first phone I received lasted only one day, I still really like my new Galaxy 5. It takes beautiful pictures and the display is so clear.

    I love this phone. I have had it for about a month now, and I love it. I upgraded it from a Samsung Galaxy S3, so I cannot compare it to an S4, but it is a great upgrade from an S3. One complaint I have is that even after the battery is fully charged, the screen comes on and stays on, even though I have it configured to turn off after a certain amount of time. The camera quality is great, as well as the video quality. The battery life is excellent as well.

    The Samsung Galaxy S 5 is the real deal. Massive memory and a really big screen. Definitely user friendly. Haven't found any downside on this phone.

    I dont mind the phone but i have been having a problem with people hearing me when i hold the phone with my shoulder. I contacted Verizon Wireless about this issue and they tell me that i must be covering the speaker and the microphone. Otherwise, I dont have a problem with it, a phone is a phone
