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 switched from the iPhone 5 to the Galaxy and while the transition was difficult, it was well worth the switch. The galaxy has a lot more capable actions than the iPhone, it's just a matter of getting the hang of the new interface. I was a previous lifelong iPhone user and regret nothing about my decision.

    MY HUSBAND WANTED TO REPLACE HIS PHONE AND THIS WAS HIS PICK. THE SIZE IS NICE FOR GUYS WITH BIG HANDS AND HE CAN HANDLE THE SCREEN FAIRLY WELL. HIS LASST ONE WAS AN HTC BUT HE LIKES THE SAMBUNG PHONE BETTER.

    Samsung Galaxy S 5 Cell Phones is a good smart phone although I am still learning how to use it. OtterBox - Defender Series Case for Samsung Galaxy S 5 Cell Phone is also a good idea to protect it.

    I bought this phone to replace a Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Though the Note is a great phone as well, it simply was never very pocketable. The Galaxy S5 has nearly all the function that I'm used to, but in a bit smaller package. Once I became accustomed to the differences in controls, I became very pleased with my decision to switch.

    I like the phone but I dont like the fact that when I thought I would need a new phone, it was not going to be able to be replaced because it is a color that only Best Buy carries.
