    Beautiful screen, resolution/graphics are awesome! I was seriously considering switching to the other non-android phone before I chose the S5 and I am so happy I stayed with Samsung!

    Samsung continues to set the bar for smartphones. No one does it better or more reliably. Also, the sheer number of users guarantees that you will have others to help if you have questions, or at least others to talk to about concerns. No device is perfect, but this one is as good as it currently gets.

    I have had two Samsung S5 phones for a month now. After the first few hours of setup, I have only consulted the 166 page manual once. My wife does texting and I use the phone features. The Apps are useful - more than I thought they would be prior to purchase. My old cell was a phone only. Happy so far!

    Traded up from Galaxy S3. This blows away the S3. It's fast, change apps and go back to prior app in an instant. The screen is so big, bright and clear. Two members of my family have the iPhone 6. I've played with their phones, but the S5 has way better functionality. The apps are better easier too.

    This phone is probably the best thing out there. Way better than any iphone out there. The camera is very good. The pictures are very vivid and sharp. Browsing is very fast,down loading apps are just a fast. So far it's a good phone. I'm coming from an Motorola Rarz Maxx. I personally thinks this is a little better... Don't know what else to say. I'm very happy with my purchase.

    I was debating in between an iPhone or continue with Samsung. I have always had Samsung phones, but my galaxy 3 gave me a lot of problems. I ended up deciding to stay with Samsung based on my familiarity with their phones, the removable battery, ability to dramatically increase internal storage, and the fact that I was able to turn in my old phone for $100 towards the new one. I have noticed a few 'problems' so far, like it freezing or the fingerprint scan being stubborn. But I recently ran an update, so that may have fixed it. So far so good.

    I have been getting Samsung Galaxy phones since they started coming out and have been pleased with all of them. The interface Samsung overlays on top of Android is easy to use and intuitive and has gotten better over the years. I like to have all the latest gadgets and features and this phone is packed with plenty (even though I will probably only use a fraction of them). I don't think anyone will be disappointed in getting this handset.

    This is my first smart phone and, with the help of my Best Buy sales associate, I am up and working it like I had it for years (even though I just purchased it three days ago). This phone is terrific! I love the size and the ease in navigating the icons. I already have pictures saved for my contacts.

    I had the Galaxy s3 and loved it but wanted to update the camera and screen resolution. I am very satisfied with the s5. I could have stayed with the s3 and been fine but I don't regret upgrading to the s5.

    Officially took the smartphone plunge with this product particularly because of the big screen. Put it next to an iPhone 5s and you will see the difference. It does use come with a strong 2.0 A charger. If you are reusing an older charger it most likely will take longer to charge as the are usually rated around 1.0 A. It is also very snappy, no lag between switching apps.

    The phone was a replacement for my wife's S3 and it seems to be at least 10x faster and better than the old phone. Much smoother than before.
