    After 1 to 2 years of owning a LG motion at metro pcs my dad and I decided it was time for an upgrade. For a while we have been quite interested in the Samsung Galaxy series of phones at at&t but we wanted to wait until their newest model to come out, the samsung galaxy s5 active. So as we looked around the store my dad and I came across this camouflage phone with a design of a military grade phone known as the samsung galaxy s5 active. by now we have already heard about the s5 and I have tried it out, it was amazing!that's five with waterproof, had slow motion camera, and an memorizing camera quality. so with this in mind what more can they s5 have well we ended up buying the phone, it served for many purposes. Obviously it had all the functions of phone like calling and texting, but it had other features included at the moment of purchase. The phone had your choice of customization on the phones plastic back cover, a step counter, slow motion recording, panorama camera, dual camera functioits able to be submerged underwater for 5 minutes up to 3 feet! the Samsung Galaxy has provided many hours of entertainment three you too, downloadable games, and music that can be downloaded or scream through Pandora. Not only has this phone served me for entertainment and a form of connection to my friends, this phone has also served me as a laptop as well. I have managed to work on many big powerpoint projects and essays on downloadable apps on my phone. I have even created my resume using my phone. I always bring my phone on trips to the mountains, lakes, and other countries and during my trips i have dropped my phone plenty of times. It wasn't until three months ago that my phone glass screen protector that came with my phone cracked. the phone works perfectly fine today, I am even writing this review on my phone during class for an econmics class. The only problem I have been having with my phone would have to be its home button. When I press home button sometimes it takes me to Google search instead of my phone's home screen. This could be a result of numerous fall damage. Despite this disadvantage I would still highly recommend the samsung galaxy s5 active to someone who is extreme and adventurous, or maybe to someone who just can't keep their phones from falling. I would rate this product a 5 out of 5. Some time during the near future I would like to see the Samsung company to take a look at the problem i have been having because I've seen other people having a similar problem on their Samsung Galaxy S5, other than that I am happy with my phone.
