Customer Ratings & Reviews

All around a great new phone. Water resistant is great feature. (It worked in a pitcher of water!) Samsung S-beam & other apps are excellent! I was able to transfer EVERYTHING from my old phone (20gb) seamlessly. However, I DESPERATELY miss the front facing speakers of my old HTC One. That's one feature that all phones should have. So ridiculous that they don't. The speaker on this thing is horrible, too boot! & no FM radio tuner. That was handy for football games. Wish it had an aluminum body instead of cheap plastic.

Great new addition to the Samsung family. It has great battery life compared to my old S3.

Bought phone to replace an iPhone. Battery life is amazing. With heavy usage, I am getting battery life from 16-19 hours before I have to charge my phone. I have all of the same functionality on a stock phone without having to root/jailbreak it. Makes Apple feel antiquated. I love that I can customize every screen and even make custom interfaces. Love it

I was initially waiting to upgrade to the Iphone 6 but due to out of stock issues I decided to go with the S5. A couple of friends and family already had it and talked about how much they loved it. I was already familiar with the Droid having previously owned a Droid 4. Glad I went with my instincts and bought the S5. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the low speaker quality. Otherwise great phone.

Only reason why i got this phone for my wife was because of the Camera. but the Camera will not focus since i got the phone, i ended up shipping it to Samsung fro Repairs.

The phone comes with far too much pre-installed garbage! The phone itself works well, and the camera takes great pictures.

I like the bigger screne. there are more things to do with it.

I'm very happy with my new Samsung Galaxy S5 purchase. The battery life is exceptional. Under light use I've had it last two days between charges. I love the vibrancy of the screen in all light levels. Totally Hands free phone and texting with new vehicles is a ticket saver.

This phone is fantastic. It took awhile to learn to use it. Luckily Best Buy had a representative at their store to teach me to use it. Now that I can use it I am very happy with it. The price was great too. The only thing that could be better would be a longer battery life.

Purchased this to replace my Motorola Razr M (which I loved but passed it on to my husband) It meets all my expectations and then some. Easy to set up and personalize and the store personnel were very helpful. Never had a Samsung phone before but am satisfied with this one.

Purchased this phone through Verizon at Best Buy. I got a great deal and I have recommended others purchase their new phones at Best Buy for the best deals. The sales person knew exactly what he was doing and got everything transfered over quickly and easily. Thanks Best Buy

Upgraded from the galaxy S3 to the galaxy S5 and couldn't be happier. I was still extremely happy with the S3 but everything the S3 can do, the S5 can do faster, and the camera is amazing.

Love the phone. Samsung knows how to do it. Down with apple!!

Great phone - love all the features and ease of use. Best Buy and Samsung people at the store were all wonderful and helpful. Can not say enough good things about the Samsung folks who set up my phone for me. A MUCH better experience than I had buying a phone at Verizon.

I love it! Not to big and easy to use. No complaints so far.

Loads of applications included and it takes GREAT pictures!

Pros: Camera focuses better (faster) and you can't beat the quality. Great size screen, not too big, but doesn't leave you wanting more. Wireless charging is a plus, but doesn't come with the phone. (cons) New Android 4.4 features are pretty cool (too many to list). Cons: Looks alike like the S4. Did not come with wireless charging feature.

This is a great phone. Easy to use, has a good camera too.

Great phone so far. I had an iPhone 4S for 2.5 years prior to purchasing this phone. I love it. Only problem is the speaker volume sound. When talking on the phone normally it is sometimes difficult to hear even with volume turned all the way up. Same thing with the speaker phone function...other phones' speaker phones are much louder.

The Samsung 5 is the best phone I have every owned. Easiest transition from old phone to new phone I have ever experienced. I just wish I would have known the phone was going on sale for $1 the week after I bought it.
