Customers have good things to say about the Galaxy S 5 Active 4G Cell Phone's camera quality, ease of use, battery life, and screen size. Many appreciate its water resistance and the range of features it offers. However, some users express dissatisfaction with the pre-installed apps and the charging port cover. The phone's positive aspects appear to outweigh the negative for most customers.

    Bought this phone for my girlfriend about a month ago, we both have one and I gotta say that this phone is probably one of the best phones we have ever owned. It does anything and basically everything!

    I love the phone .but what I don't like is that best buy sold me a defective phone.they wouldn't swap it cause it past the 14 day mark it was on the 16th day when it was acting defective the lcd display kept on going out and the scteen would go black and I would get phone calls and couldn't answer the phone. So I had to go to the Samsung store to get it fixed and it took about 3 hrs. BUT now it works. the camera, the speed of the phone is great love the color. Long battery life. It's a great phone to have.

    Really love this phone. It's my 2nd because the first went for a swim. Really enjoy the features. I've had other cells and so far this is my favorite. I imagine I will get another when the time comes.

    I chose this phone based on my experience with the Samsung Captivate and Galaxy S3. This phone so far durable like the previous models I owned. Very fast processor and light as a feather. Size of screen is generous and it is super thin. I really love this phone,

    I bought the Samsung Galaxy S5 for my mother replacing her old HTC phone. She is very pleased with the look and feel of her new phone as well as the battery life as compared to her old phone. Screen graphics are very crisp and bold and the keyboard is easy for her to use.

    An upgrade from previous Galaxy phones, but not the ease of usage I expected. Lots of bells and whistles and all the rest but it can be a bit too much. Phone reception is good and battery life is excellent, though not as good as touted in those commercials. A bit pricey.

    This is a very good phone for the price.It has the best battery life that I have ever seen in a smartphone. However, the sound could be allot better. It needs stereo speakers. Also, it is water resistant. Although not waterproof. The screen is very bright or very dark ,depending on personal choice.

    I am happy with the S5 so far. A nice upgrade from my Galaxy S4. Had decided to hold off on the S6 as I really appreciate the ability to use an SD card as well as swap out the battery if needed. The phone is fast especially with the new Lollipop upgrade.

    Ran my phone through the washer. Came out clean and working fine! It was cold water, but still impressive. Great phone for a parent, no more worries about phone going for a swim.

    Wife switched from iPhone 5

    My wife hated the iPhone for various reasons. It did not have enough space to download updates which caused a lot of app crashes. She got fed up and made the switch to Andriod. I have to say that the camera is better vs. iPhone 6 (which I have). However, I could not get used to the interface. She loves it and has not wanted to switch back to Apple. Also, the option of adding extra storage space via microSD is pretty nice.

    The S6 is nice, and the edge is cute, but I want a phone that has some protections. The S5 has some that the 6 doesn't, and I get good AT&T call quality. Picked up a couple extra batteries an stuck a 64GB card in it and it's a PC in my pocket.
