Customers are saying

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.

    I really like my phone, however I cannot play music through my speakers. Is there an attachment or something else I need to be able to do this? Somewhat disappointed.

    This phone is amazing. I bought it for my son for his birthday to replace his iphone 4S. He is completely satisfied with it. He said that it blows the iphone away in every category. Of course, now I can't get him off his phone.......

    Great Phone. I've upgraded from Samsung Note 1 and what a difference! The screen is ridiculously crisp and the ability to shoot and watch 4K videos is AWESOME! Camera on this phone and all the options that comes with it are very neat as well. I'm glad that I went with this phone and not the Note 3!

    It's better than my old moto. I don't think there's a better phone for $50. Samsung should've waited and upgraded the processor. Then it might be a a $300 phone

    The Galaxy S5 is a great phone. Its a natural progression/improvement over the S4, so it's not a major change. Processor is very fast and the software is fluid. Looking forward to the lollipop update on Android. If you're a fan of the Galaxy S phones, don't hesitate, this is a great phone.
