    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.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Bigger better screen than my last galaxy.and the updated OS is much easier to navigate. There is some app pushing that needs to be monitored to make sure your processor is unduly taxed.

    The s5 is already a great phone but this electric blue color makes it even better. The color looks even better in person. My favorite part of this phone is I can transfer my pics on my samsung camera to it in less than a min. Its very convenient for those like me who always carry a camera to take pics of their kids and share them instantly. Ive already recommended it to my friend.

    This is a good phone. There are few things I do not like though. Having paid over $600 for my device I still have to deal with a locked bootloader. Not happy about that.
