    Purchased the Samsung S5 for my wife as a replacement for the S3. She loves this phone. She is on it constantly Facebooking, crushing candy, looking for more stuff to buy. You name it, she can do it all on this phone! I highly recommend this phone for your SO if you want some quiet time for reflective contemplation.

    I like this phone alot, the only problem have with it is the Google crome. Some times it will randomly close out on you other then that... it's the best phone I have ever had. You can do more stuff with this phone then you can wit the iphone. And I have owned both at one point.

    Love the functionality, although I am still learning all the navigation and tricks. the best feature is the battery-saving feature as we've all had those moments when there is only a little charge left and no charger or outlet handy.

    This is an excellent phone for the price. Best Buy was less expensive than Verizon at the time (price drop ended before Best Buy's did). The service was excellent. I dealt with 3 employees and all were pleasant and helpful. I felt that they really wanted me to feel comfortable with the phone and address any questions I had. Overall, I now have a terrific phone and had an excellent customer service experience at Vestal, NY Best Buy.

    3 phones to get one that wasn't draining battery rapidly, treated a bit like an idiot when I went to the store to get info. Did not appreciate being told to turn off bluetooth to stop a 50% drain overnight. The first two phones were faulty and should have been replaced much more quickly.

    The Best Phone I've Ever Owned

    I've had several cell phones over the years and Samsung has proven to be my favorite time and time again. This Phone is loaded with features and has a pretty good battery life. My husband has the Galaxy3 Note and my phone does most everything his does, close to the same size (slightly smaller) plus mine is supposed to be water resistant. It charges quickly too with the included speed charger, but you can use a regular usb charger. The included ear buds are really nice. I had no problems connecting my Bluetooth devices to this phone or transferring stuff from my old phone. Very smooth, easy operation. I love this phone.

    I have only had the Galaxy S5 phone for just over one week. I really enjoy the Google services integration. Being able to say "OK Google" on the home screen is great. I am coming for the iPhone 5S (4.0") so the screen size on the S5 (5.1") is a great addition. The only real complaint I have about this phone is the exterior speaker. The sound quality is average at best. I use speaker phone quite a bit so this feature is important to me. The camera is very pleasing so far. I just wish it had built in image stabilization. All that said I would recommend this phone to anyone that is looking to upgrade or switch from the iPhone.
