    Excellent device for everything. Camera is 2nd to none. Fast, excellent battery life and display, much tougher than anything Apple. It's also convenient in size. I've had many smartphones. This one is fantastic. Very pleased and I highly recommend.

    I wish I could say how awesome this phone is, but I can only give it 3 Stars. The camera is basic. My Galaxy S3 had 4 times the features. The charging port cover is nearly impossible to open, I have to use the tip of something tiny and sharp. Overall- the phone has many great pre-installed apps , nice graphics and a larger screen then my GS3. Chrome is the browser of choice. As far as water resistance- I don't EVER plan to drop it in a pool or a sink full of water, but it's good to know if I do, my phone is water-proof. ( Hopefully ) Only major disappointment is the camera doesn't even come close to my GS3.

    I got this for my daughter and Best Buy had a great deal at the time I bought this (a $200 gift card for a return of any old smart phone). The phone works great. The battery lasts for a day. You have to charge every night. Navigation is quick. Photo quality is awesome. There are several interesting photo modes you can choose from. Recommend this to anyone and lastly, its Samsung!

    I've owned every galaxy so far, along with the Samsung Android phones before the S series came out. And all I can say is Samsung nailed it again. The bloatware is getting excessive, but that's with all smartphones. This phone has more features than I'll ever use. It's fast, It's reliable, and it's everything I expect from Samsung. Can't wait for the S6.

    Replaced my HTC Evo LTE (which I loved) with the Galaxy S5. So far it has been great. Functionality is a little different, so still getting used to power buttons and volume controls being in different places. The display is gorgeous and a great size. The overall phone size is perfect. Big, but not too large to fit comfortably in a pocket. Still figuring out how to get the best out of the camera, so I'll reserve judgement there. I feel like my HTC took consistently better pics, whereas the S5 will catch a great one and then a few grainy, lousy ones. Thinking this is a matter of settings. The only other drawback is the fingerprint reader can be glitchy. It is very sensitive and fails to read consistently if your hands get a little wet or dirty. Overall, I love it. Text setup is good, contacts and calls are easy and it is very fast!

    I enjoy my phone and the Sprint and Samsung people are very helpful. I am glad I got such great customer service from them and will recommend them to my friends and family. They have gone above and beyond in helping me with my phone! I love the camera and the games and I know there are tons of things I still need to learn about this phone!

    I'm used to a track phone so this was an easy switch and fun to use, easy to figure out. I didn't have to constantly bug ppl to help me navigate my way through the phone. A mini-computer in itself. I like it a lot!

    I actually got it for my wife but I can't put it down myself. The screen is amazing, but what really blows you away is the amount of features the phone has. You need to be willing to experiment but this phone is likely smarter than any device you will find out there. it has infinite possibilities. some people complain about the plastic shell but don't most of us put a case on these expensive devices to protect them as much as possible? at that point does it matter if the shell is aluminum or plastic? this phone will blow your mind if you are willing to learn how to use it....if you want something just simple then it will work, but this might be overkill as this phone is intended to be so much more, and is.

    Electric blue s5 will make you stand out from all other colors. I have followed Samsung S series since the SII and like all pervious models this one will not disappoint. I love the way I have added a 32g chip for only 25.00 dollars the super fast charging and the removable battery. Buy this phone you will love it.

    Waterproof! My Samsung S4 is toasted from being in my pocket at Show. The sweat from the heat killed it lol. No rice trick for this baby! SAMSUNG S5 is worth it because of the waterproof deal. It does everything the S4 did so im happy

    The S5 is fast and responsive. The upgrade from a S3 is noticable. The camera is quick and easy, the fingerrint scanner is accurate, and the size is not too large in comparison.
