Having Problems
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the face that it is 'active' and is very durable, that's why I got the phone. However, it doesn't work that well. My calls go in and out every minute or so, so when it does I can hardly hear the person talking. Some of my texts don't send, and I don't receive them all either. My camera does not focus on any close objects. Far away it does great. My problems allow me to still use my phone, It's just very annoying when I'm missing very important texts and can't hear when I have to call someone. This is the second active phone I have had problems with. Sorry to say, but this might turn me into team IPhone.

what a joke
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.i had the s3 and loved it. i just bought this phone less than 2 weeks ago. i am very rough on phones and thought this would would work for me. i had it sitting on my mowing trailer and it got bumped off while i was working on the mower and it fell less than a foot onto concrete and landed on the screen. the screen broke-even with the screen protector film on it. what a joke! of course insurance will fix it($200 deductible) might as well get rid of insurance and just buy a new phone. for this phone being so rugged and tough i am thoroughly dissapointed. should have just bought the s5 and got a good case.

loving the switch
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After using the iPhone for a few years I didn't think the switch would be this easy. I love everything about this phone. They say the features like the remote control and heart monitor would be useless but I find that false. Every little perk built into this phone is great and works as advertised.

Beats the s3 ill tell ya
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this phone. I was skeptical about the color I really wanted the white one but I waited almost 2 hours because I got the phone on easy pay and I didn't have a credit card so I had to use a best buy gift card . But now the color has grown on me especially when I'm out side the back glams through. The sun. But my main concern is that the phone is like the upcoming Note 4 where you can stick a credit card between. The glass but other than that. love it

a lot of hype
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got caught up in the hype an purchased this phone through Verizon. I literally had it for a day before ordering its replacement. First I was disappointed by the "feel" of the device, it was very cheaply made, the materials made it feel like it would shatter if I dropped it. Then I started the phone and it wouldn't activate at first I thought that was a carrier issue but found out that its common with this phone. Once I got it working (the next day) phone quality was spotty in a location where my previous phone had no problems. Positives: screen is bright and crystal clear, processor is very fast, the phone was fairly responsive. However, because of this the battery life was shorter than it should have been (in My Opinion). I get why iPhone haters love this device. Except for the phone size though I do not think it is better than an iPhone 5S. I would not recommend this phone to a friend or family member. And No I did not replace it with an iPhone, I picked up the Galaxy Note 3. Far superior phone for not much more money.

Best phone on the market
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.paired up to the other android devices on the market right now this phone is by far the most stable with NO bugs or glitches unlike most android phones. just upgraded the whole family and am more then happy with the results this far. side note the NXT plan is by far the cheapest and easiest way to purchase your phone!

Great Value
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had been waiting for the right time to upgrade. Glad I signed up to get a $50 gift card when you reserve and purchase a phone from them. I also had $60 in gift cards and got $90 for my S3. I only ended up spending $15 out of pocket for my S5. You can't beat that.

Don't do it!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I attempted to branch out of the iPhone world, and I regret it 150%. Bought the phone, and 7 days later the camera lens completely shattered. NEVER dropped the phone, and I also had a case on it. I researched it and apparently A LOT of people are having this problem with the newer Samsung phones. Honestly I was not blown away by the camera quality even before the lens shattered. Not to mention, half of the screen would black out for no reason at all. It would open Apps randomly without me even touching the phone. It would vibrate/ring even though I had it on silent. My only options were to pay a deductible on my AT&T insurance, or ship it off to Samsung so they could either repair my phone or send me a refurbished phone. I'm sorry, but when I pay this much $$$ for a brand new device, it better work and work well. And I certainly should not be shipping it off to be repaired within the 1st 7 days of owning it. If you are thinking about getting this phone, do yourself a favor and don't.

Buyer Beware. Samsung doesn't honor IP67 rating
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would highly advise against purchasing this phone. I had the phone less than 3 hours when my son got some water on it. it wasn't submerged at 3 feet for 30 minutes or anything near their claims on the Samsung website, just a splash of water. Less than an hour later it started acting funny, the screen was flickering and everything acted like it was on a 5 second delay. I took it back to AT&T and they took a look under the back cover (which the AT&T employee put on) and there was water damage. AT&T at that point refused to take the phone back, stating that it was a damaged phone. They told me that I should speak with Samsung, as it was their issue. I called Samsung and they said that if there was any water damage that the warranty was void. I tried pointing out to both AT&T and Samsung that the sole reason I purchased this phone was the IP67 rating. Regardless, they refused to honor their water resistant to 3 meters for a half hour claim. I now have a brick sitting on my desk that worked for less than half a day. If you're even thinking of getting this phone for its water resistance, know that the water resistance failed for me when exposed to a single incident, and that neither Samsung nor AT&T would replace the phone.

Locked bootloader makes it junk
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Don't buy this its a piece of junk. AT&T and Samsung refuse to release the key required to unlock the bootloader so you are stuck with AT&T software and slow android updates(also CarrierIQ spyware). Also you can't use any root applications. Do yourself a favor and get the TMO atleast they respect their customers enough to not sell them a locked piece of junk.
