    I am really liking this phone. Anything I dislike are minor and can be ignored. I love the picture quality most of all. I've gotten some great shots with it. It's also my 1st smartphone and I'm glad I picked this one.

    I bought this phone primarily because I heard it was more durable than others, including water resistant. Upon getting the phone, it seemed more flimsy and lighter than I expected, so I bought a strong case for extra protection. I expected the picture quality to be better, and I expected the actual process of taking pictures to be easier. I've only had the phone for about a month and it's already slow; there is usually a delay after pressing something. The battery life is great, and it charges very fast. The new features are fun and unique, but if I had the chance to go back in time, I would not have bought this phone. I don't think it's as durable as advertised and for its price, I believe there are better, less expensive phones out there.

    samsung always have great products but when it comes to their phones, the battery lives on it are very poor. you have to download a third party app to extended the battery life. they should consider smart actions app like how motorola built in with their phones

    The Galaxy S5 got a bit bigger but somehow still at the perfect size, the display is so beautiful, the battery lasts all day long even with heavy use, lots of apps, free apps. I love the new folders, it makes so easy to declutter the phone. Everything works so smootly perfect that its almost addictive. By far the best phone on the market.

    I love the phone except for one glitch. One contact for text messaging won't show the keyboard without several backward steps. No one, not even tech support could figure this out. The phone was only a week old and should have been replaced willingly as all agreed it's a software problem. Instead I got the what are you gonna do approach.

    I went from my original Samsung Galaxy (Fascinate) to a Motorola RAZR and am SO glad to be back with Samsung Galaxy S5. I love the screen resolution and am getting used to the bigger size. If I have any issue so far it is that the USB power cord is different from anything previously (need to buy more) and that there is limited accessories - like I have not found a good holster type thing for it.
