    Love the big screen and the clarity. Very light weight. Would like the battery to last a little longer. Overall I'm very happy with the phone as in just learning about all of the features.

    This is my fourth Android phone. Each has generation is always a step above the next and this phone is no exception. I can get a minimum 12 hours out of this phone with fairly heavy usage (emails, texts, surfing, reading books, calls, and tethering). I am very excited about the upcoming update Android 5.0 which should be available to this phone early next year.

    While the S5 is very impressive, the blue exclusive to best buy has a muffled sound while on calls and tends to "get hot" quite often whether it is charging or not. I would reccomend the S5 in any color but the blue best buy exclusive

    Phone has great picture and sound quality. Upon initial setup you have to change a lot of applications that are automatically installed and running or it will drain your battery quickly.

    Samsung phone is working well so far. Nice screen size. Thought that it might be too large but it fits well in my front pocket. Have not had it long enough to try the waterproof part.

    This is an excellent phone. My wife and I both love the camera. The pictures are awesome. Sound quality & call quality is very good. The big seller for me was the water resistance. Buy an Otter Box case though. The Life Proof case has a lot of feedback echo if the charging flap is closed. Love the size. This phone does everything that I need it for, and more.

    I was not pleased with the S5. It was average at best. The S3 and S4 were better experiences. Mine had major issues in less than a year. I ditched it and bought the Nexus 6.
