    Was unsure moving from a HTC one but my husband had a galaxy 4 and I really liked his, so when I was ready to upgrade I instantly went to this and I'm so glad I got it. It's so easy to use and love the way I can personalize it the way I want.

    I have a lot to learn about this phone. Believe it or not, I JUST upgraded from a flip phone. The awesome price on Black Friday pushed me into the current age of smartphones. I know I will be learning for quite some time about the many uses of the Galaxy S5. I wish there was a convenient way to learn all there is to know about this phone. My family members each purchased a Galaxy S5 and can't stop raving about it. Two of them are previous iPhone users, and the other upgraded from the Galaxy 3. I purchased my phone from Best Buy over the phone because my order froze while placing it using my computer. The Best Buy customer service rep. was great. He was very helpful and courteous. Overall a good experience, even though it did take a very long time.

    The love crisp look of the pictures. Great phone. The only thing that I don't like is the button you open to plug the charge in. Its is very hard to open if you don't have nails, but other than that I love the phone.

    This phone is a tank and beautiful. It is water proof and shatter proof and I've tested that several times and she keeps on ticking. My first Samsung phone and I'll never go back to the other brand.

    This is a great phone, it does so much more than the iPhone. The iPhone is out dated and useless. Apple released the iPhone plus and it's funny how the copied the galaxy S series. Samsung produces amazing products.

    Only had the phone for 12 days, but so far really liking it. Was hard to give five stars to a phone when so much also depends on the provider and service. I do like the finger print feature, water resistance and ability to show pics on tv.

    Overall it's pretty good. I like the clarity of the camera. In fact I like most of the things I have uses on it. I hate the power cord. It is one of two electronic devices that my husband and I own that doesn't take the same plug into the device as everything else. Which means I have to buy a new second charger for work, and a new car charger. Which really ticks me off.
