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.

    It's a good phone but not a great phone. Build quaility for a top tier phone is just average with plastic components. Will this hold up for 2 years? I don't think so. I took it back after a week and got the HTC One M8 and couldn't be happier with the decision. The HTC doesn't have as good a camera or waterproof, but it is a much better experience overall. Great quality. Built to last and fast!

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    I have had the Samsung Galaxy S5 for 3 months now and I absolutely love it. It is by far my favorite phone I have ever had. The camera is great and it holds a charge for the entire day, even when I play games and get on Facebook.

    I had 3 different iPhones and liked them all but the Galaxy S5 beats them all. Perfect size, great display, fast and I have been able to find all the free apps that I need. At half the price of an iPhone, it is a great value.

    I have upgraded from the S3 and S4 and not have the Galaxy S5. My primary reason for upgrade is I like new stuff and I want a better battery life. The S5 could use a little bit better battery but it is sufficient for what I do.

    I came to Best Buy for help to get a new cell phone. The guy was great and helped me out. He showed me the phone and accessories which was a great price and deal. He took his time with me. The phone works great and is easy to use. I would recommend this phone to others.

    This phone is the best I have ever had it can do almost everything.I can start a text message and it can almost finish it for me. I never knew how to text before I got this phone and Lindsay from AT&T showed me one time and it has been a breeze since. No more snail mail.

    The screen is big and still fits in your pocket. The OS is a lot faster and can multitask. The finger print security is awesome. The camera is a little lagging when taking pics but nice if you have a cooperative subject.
