    I went from the S4 (metro) to the S5 (At&T). I miss not having to worry about the data usage and paying less then $75.00 a month for unlimited data... but the cell was not as costly as if I had to pay it through Metro at retail. The cell has certain features like the previous galaxy but there's the water proof feature my S4 didn't have.

    There is a few changes to the software that takes time to get use to. Sometimes the motion sensing part of the phone doesn't work right. The battery lasts less time than an iPhone, unless you turn on power saving mode. I have not had a reason to try the Ultra Power Saving mode yet. Other than the little things, it's a good, large phone.

    I debated switching from my iPhone and am not sorry! I love this phone. Some said it might be difficult to get used to, but I did not find that to be the case. I have lots left to explore, but love everything so far!

    Improvements on the S4

    I was expecting it to be too different from the S4, but am glad to see they made improvements to some of the pain points of the S4, such as battery usage. It's much easier to kill battery draining apps. It took me a little while to get used to the navigational changes, especially when trying to find the settings menus. My ONLY complaint is the touch sensitivity.

    Switched from apple to samsung, and I was not disappointed. The s5 is totally customizable and the user interface is easier than anticipated. I like the fact you can expand your memory, me being a music lover this option won me over. A must buy. love this phone
