Many appreciate its water resistance and the range of features it offers. However, some users express dissatisfaction with the pre-installed apps and the charging port cover. The phone's positive aspects appear to outweigh the negative for most customers.

    Fabulous and fun to use. And the tech assistant did a great job of setting it up for me even though I was the very last one to go thru on Black Friday.

    I switched from an iPhone 5 to the Galaxy, and some things are better. My only complaints are, attachments to email's don't load right away, and you have to link contacts to the Bluetooth device to make hands free devices.

    This s5 is an upgrade from our s3. The transition was easy, it runs smoother and the graphics are better.

    I would shop at Best Buy again. It's a wonderful place to shop. Whatever you want, they got it on their shelf or will offer to get it in for you.

    The main reason we bought this was for the extra memory and the ease to move files around. No more "syncing". The folks at Best Buy were great helping us get through some initial setup (like setting up the language).

    I purchased the Samsung Galaxy S5 for my daughter and she loves it. It is a little big to fit in her pocket, but she is getting used to the size.

    I've been using Iphones for a while and decided I would give this a try. I really like the fact that you can put a microSD card in this thing for additional storage. Something I could never do with my I phones
