    Love my Samsung phone! I have had other brands but this one tops them all. I love that I can get the battery replaced easily and don't have to just get a new phone(a feature with other brands!). I love all that it will do. It is great for business as well as personal.

    Not a huge step up from the S4 but I find the camera to be the biggest improvement.

    This phone is perfect between a compact phone and a "phablet." The rugged body is the best part of the phone. Having the Galaxy s3, this was a significant upgrade. I love the size and heart rate monitor. The battery life is stellar. It will last two days with light use.

    I like the screen. Great color, easy to read. Photographs look very clear. The phone call quality is excellent, very natural sounding, voices clear. The camera is easy to operate and produces sharp photos. I think this is a quality product and I would purchase it again.

    Big Improvement over the Galaxy S4

    I got a Samsung Galaxy S4 last year and I returned it because it was not like my older iPhone 5 at all. It was loaded extra features that both Samsung and my carrier, Verizon, put on the device. It ran slow, speakers were terrible and hand gestures were gimmicky. I decided to give Samsung another chance. The Galaxy S5 does not have AS MUCH bloatware as its predecessor and is a lot faster. Camera is truly amazing, the 16MP really shows. I am still adjusting from iOS to Android, but I do like it.

    I upgraded from an Iphone 4 to this and let me just say, I am a confirmed team android member. The only thing I wish this had was better customization when it came to pop up menus. I shouldn't have to agree to the location settings every single time I turn them on.

    Love this phone because of all its qualities however the camera zoom is very hard to get a clear picture - the item has to be a certain distance to show clearly but once adquiring a clear zoom it takes great pictures. Overall this phone is great for everything (Verizon network) no drop calls no problems to acquire signal whatsoever.

    Best android phone I've ever owned and I've owned a lot. A huge step up form Galaxy S3. I think the interface is way nicer than the S4. The touchwiz is much less annoying. Camera is instant, get service in way more places than with my S3. Phone feels sturdy and less plastic and cheap than the S3. I would highly recommend this phone.

    Great price considering what it costs without the contract. Never lost a call due to my phone. Texts always go through. Very pleased so far. Had the phone for about 2 months now.

    Samsung continues to create excellent products! We were fans of the S3 and upgraded to the S5. Big difference that we noticed between the S3 and S5 - the S3 home screen would scroll in a continuous "circle," and the S5 stops and you have to scroll the other direction. Minor inconvenience (or a setting that I've yet to find???).

    Traded in and up from an iPhone 5s. The overall size of the phone took some getting used to, but the battery life, processor speed, and camera have quickly made me forget the iPhone 5s. Still learning new things, love this phone! Especially since I went with the charging cover and Qi chargers at home, and in the office and car! No more plugging and unplugging. Overall a great phone!

    If you have verizon there are so many plan features available with this phone that were not avail for iphone. I've saved money well worth buying at full price & keeping my unlimited data. For the price of 3gd Hotspot I get unlimited Hotspot now as well

    Overall, I cannot find a single complaint yet on this phone. It's powerful, fast and even the battery works great so far without tons of 3rd party apps. Even the base interface and controls can stand alone if you don't like messing with loaders and such.
