    I really like the Samsng 5s. The clarity is outstanding! The manuverability is good and I like all of the features. I changed from an iPhone so learning all of the settings in the Android system has taken time overall it is a great phone.

    I did a lot of research before I purchased my Galaxy S5. This phone is awesome, does everything I wanted it to do and more. I am always finding things that make it a lot of fun to play with.

    The picture and screen size is great for viewing games and movies. The speaker phone could be louder. I love the USB 3.0 because it allows me to fully charge the battery in about 2 hours instead of the 6+ with the standard USB 2.0 system.

    My wife and I purchased two of these phones and they have been great phones. The phones are just what we wanted, fast and very responsive. We like Samsung so much we bought a Samsung tablet and a Samsung TV will be delivered Sunday.

    Phones keep getting better and better. Finally a phone that does not need to be charged during the day no matter how much you use it. Great apps applications and ease of use with phone, a lot of options (maybe too many!), Still has issue with screen visibility in the sun, but all phones have that

    I switched from an iPhone for a more powerful phone, the S5 has a better processor and a better camera even better than that of the iPhone 6. Took some time to get familiar with the Droid operating system, but I'm glad I switched.

    I wanted to upgrade my phone. I have always chosen Samsung products. This phone has everything I need for a busy lifestyle and always being on the go it mattered which product I purchased.. Staying in touch with family, friends, work is important to me. Having everything I need on my phone works.

    Started off with the first Samsung galaxy and juse went up with each upgrade... Overall it's a.good phone just wish the camera settings were better my pictures come out blurry or the pixels are a bit off which is unfortunate because I heard a lot of good things about the camera. One of the reasons I wanted to get this phone instead of the iphone.

    We had 3 Galaxy III 's. We were completely satisfied with our phones. I need a phone with large text and images so these phones were perfect. So we needed to renew our contract and wanted to get new phones. So we chose the Galaxy 5's and they were even better. Really like these phones.

    Pictures are clear and bright. I was afraid the phone would be too large to handle. In reality it is just right. A little larger than my old S3. Still fits in my pocket without causing any problems. The processor is much faster than my S3 and has yet to hang or freeze on any screen.

    Overall I'm happy with my purchase. My only complaint would be with the warranty and how it was explained. Within a couple weeks of my purchase my charger quit working. I did buy the warranty from Best Buy, but that was not covered even though I asked about it to the sales girl. Luckily it was still covered by Samsung. I'm thrilled with the phone but not sure what Best Buy covers as opposed to what Verizon covers.

    I upgraded from a Samsung III to a Samsung Galaxy S5. I love the larger screen, the longer battery life, and ease of use. I would recommend that if you are considering a new phone, that you take the time to try it out.
