The phone's positive aspects appear to outweigh the negative for most customers.

    this is my first smartphone, it's great, it takes clear pictures and easy to use. although it has short battery life, it charges fast. I use the pedometer and the heart rate check.

    Purchased the Galaxy S5 for my husband at the unbelievable Black Friday promo price of $1. This was an upgrade from his Galaxy 3. He loves the phone. The size is a bit much for the convenience of sticking it in his pocket. The Samsung phones have been much better products than the iPhones that our son and daughter owned. Less problems and many more pluses. Purchasing the Galaxy S5 from Best Buy was efficient and easy, and we had the phone shipped and in our hands in a couple of days. Good job Best Buy.

    The S5 is great for those starting out and great update for previous Samsung owners. Packs plenty of power that translates well in speed of the screen and launch of apps.

    Great phone, like the size & clarity. Need to adjust setting so it will stay "on" longer after swipping the screen. Like having the numbers on the same keypad as letters.

    Had a S3 previously and this was a nice upgrade. The only problem was with AT&T. I havery their new family shared where each line was $15 a line. Once I upgraded my phone my line went up to $40 a month. AT&T never said anything about this when I changed my plan. I haven't seen anything about it on their commercials either. There also is a $40 upgrade fee.
