    The phone and display are great. Samsung's software gets in the way sometimes and make basic functions harder than they need to be.

    The phone works well, but not many changed from the Galaxy S2 and the new app for transferring info is horrible. Go to an actual store and have them transfer with machine.

    Best phone on the market

    I don't know what the previous user was talking about. Not only is the screen bigger than the iPhone as are all of the previous Samsung phones have been but the camera is better. This phone is fast, period! I haven't had any issues with crashing or any of the other problems they were having including the battery lasting, it's like they're talking about a totally different phone. The OS runs smooth and multitasking is always easy, this is the phone for people who know phones and like to be able to do more than just talk on their phone. The Samsung Galaxy S5 is the best phone on the market right now, hands down!
