    I bought the Galaxy s5 on Black Friday as an upgrade from the s3, and I love it. The people at Best Buy were very helpful as always.

    Was really hesitant to move to Android but not missing the iphone at all. My wife still has the iphone 5 and it seems real tiny. Thought the battery life would be improved on the Samsung but not really any better than my old iphone 4. Otherwise, I love the operating system and am really digging the bigger screen.

    Very impressive phone. I had recently had iphones for the past few years and was getting bored with the basic design and features. Android is very customizable. The S5 screen is amazing, its the perfect size especially coming from an Iphone which is tiny compared to this.

    Got this on an awesome Black Friday deal - we love this phone! My husband can be a bit "rough" on phones and this is the first phone that doesn't need a bubble for him to handle. It's sturdy and has held up well in it's first month. Screen size is larger than the Galaxy SIII we traded up from. Graphics and resolution are much improved.

    I love the S5. Best Buy is the only place I can get a new one, and I opted for it. The S5 doesn't catch on fire, and it works great. It also has Marshmallow support. This phone is 2 generations old, but AT&T is still rolling out updates for it. It takes decent pictures and still runs all the apps I need it to run.

    It might just be because I'm not used to it yet, but I'm struggling with settings and how sensitive it is. I feel like every time I pick it up or put it in my bag, some button is hit and I'm always nervous about what it's going to do. Switching over from an iphone was a NIGHTMARE! After it was activated, weeks later, I ended up at the at&t store, then a few days later on the phone with at&t, then a week later with apple before it was all straightened out. I'm checking yes to recommend to a friend, but only because there's not an "undecided" option.

    I'm an android guy so this phone was a no brainer. My S4 died and I needed to replace it. This was the most logical choice.
