    The love crisp look of the pictures. Great phone. The only thing that I don't like is the button you open to plug the charge in. Its is very hard to open if you don't have nails, but other than that I love the phone.

    Only had the phone for 12 days, but so far really liking it. Was hard to give five stars to a phone when so much also depends on the provider and service. I do like the finger print feature, water resistance and ability to show pics on tv.

    This is a great phone, it does so much more than the iPhone. The iPhone is out dated and useless. Apple released the iPhone plus and it's funny how the copied the galaxy S series. Samsung produces amazing products.

    This phone is a tank and beautiful. It is water proof and shatter proof and I've tested that several times and she keeps on ticking. My first Samsung phone and I'll never go back to the other brand.

    First of all, I got this phone for $139 (price match with Walmart). Don't ever buy phones from Walmart because they don't have the equipment or knowledge to activate or deactivate your phone. What a nightmare! Just price match it with Best Buy. These guys are experts. Upgraded from a Galaxy S4 and I feel it was worth the upgrade. Everything just seems slicker. Don't like that the left button (the menu button) became an App Switch button. You have to HOLD it to do menu. Otherwise, most apps design the menu to be on the upper right hand corner and my fingers are not long enough to reach that without almost dropping my phone. Also, the front facing camera has a weird camera distortion on the edges so selfies look like funhouse mirrors. :(

    The phone is great, but I lost a lot of photos, contacts, etc. when I upgraded from the S3. This hurt.

    I love my Samsung Galaxy S5. I am not an Iphone fan; I much prefer the android. The Galaxy is easy to learn since I am not really tech savvy. My previous phone was an android and I loved it also. Great quality.
