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.

    There is a few changes to the software that takes time to get use to. Sometimes the motion sensing part of the phone doesn't work right. The battery lasts less time than an iPhone, unless you turn on power saving mode. I have not had a reason to try the Ultra Power Saving mode yet. Other than the little things, it's a good phone.

    I purchased the phone for use with Consumer Cellular, and it was an AT&T phone (they didn't have the color I wanted and gave me one from the AT&T section). It has had a few issues with downloads from AT&T, otherwise, it has been a pretty good phone. It is waterproof, as advertised!!!

    This is my first smart phone. I could not be happier with it's performance. Does everything I want it to do and very proficiently. I am retired and was apprehensive about even purchasing one. No regrets!

    I like that you can do more with this mobile. The one thing I don't like is I can't stop the automatic ap updates. And, there is WAY too much pre loaded garbage that one should be able to get rid of. Other than those things, I love the mobile.

    Wife has had the S5 for a couple of weeks and she loves it!! I haven't heard of any complaints to date. She had an iPhone for years but decided she wanted more customization and flexibility features that were not available on previous device. Got the S5 at an awesome price of $1 using the deal of the day.

    Much improvement from my previous purchase S3. Camera with 16 mp is great to have regular clicks unless you are too much into photography requiring a professional grade camera. Pedometer and heart rate monitor are the two great features I am happy to have at my fingertips. Overall very satisfied.

    My 15 year old loves this phone. No going back to Iphone. Samsung Galaxy S5 is multifunctional. He does school work, researches, keeps up with his buddies on social media & Instagram, maps out locations, takes video, controls other devices & appliances.Who knows what else he will discover.
