    I carry around 2 phones (1 for work) and charging them both every day has been a pain. That is a thing of the past now because Ultra Power Saving mode is incredible! I have had my phone last over 4 days with intermittent use, but it will easily last 7-10 with limited use. This phone has a ton of other great features like being waterproof, multi-tasking, and has a heart rate monitor. Bottom line, this is the best phone on the market.

    This phone was my introduction to the smart phone. It is very user friendly. The interface is basic, stylish, and easy to use. It took very little time to get the basic functions down. My wife has had the I-phone 5 for a while so I have been able to compare the 2 products. The battery life on the Samsung is superior to the apple. The charge time for a almost dead phone to fully charged is a little under an hour and half. My only real gripe is that I usually put my phone in my pocket and that is a snug fit. If you are the type of person to wear skinny jean, your screwed. I do like the bigger screen but would like the phone just slightly smaller so I could have it in my pocket. Other than that I would have given it 5 stars.

    The phone is fast, the screen is large with great resolution. With normal use (for me) the battery lasts the day without a boost. I have had the phone for over a month and I have no complaints. I am very happy with my choice.

    Very quick to set up and easy to use, especially if you are familiar with android. The display is beautiful and touch screen works well. Menus make it easy to customize to your preferences. Download speed is great. Battery lasts really well (at least 2 days if not streaming a lot) and the USB 3.0 charges it very quickly. If you connect it to your WiFi at home, it automatically switches to that when you're there - I do majority of downloading at home to save data. The camera also takes beautiful pics, and I expect they will be even better once I take the time to read the manual. If you register with Samsung, they send helpful emails with various tips; they also sent me a code to order accessories, cases, etc. at 50% discount (their cases & Otter box cases). So far, I am very happy with this phone and definitely recommend it.

    My wife has an ancient trac phone. She loved it & did not want a smart phone. She sent me out to buy her a galaxy tablet which I intended to do but when I saw the great deal on the galaxy 5 smart phone I could not resist. She gets the best of both worlds. She can stay in touch with family & friends on instagram, check emails & text in a fraction of the time. Bottom Line, She absolutely loves it & I'm a happy camper.

    I moved from a I-Phone 5 to this droid thing. I love it. I can do so much more with it and don't have the issues of Apple trying to manage everything on the device. Syncing my Google accounts and my work exchange accounts are just as easy as the Apple devices. The screen is large enough that I can see what I am doing. Battery is sufficient as long as I am not 'playing' on it too much. Just like any other device.
