    This is one amazing phone. I replaced the iPhone 5 with this phone. One of the best decisions I made. Ease of use and ability to customize each app page with ease is a huge plus. And, love the "Swype" feature.

    Two of us in the family got the Samsung Galaxy S5 (in Electric Blue!) & the other two now want it! The camera is awesome, with fun features. The clarity & zoom is amazing. We love the panoramic feature & look forward to trying the split video (don't know the correct name) where the screen is split & you take a video on side while on the other side, yourself & your reactions are being videoed! You can change focus focal point & do many other things. The screen is nice, clear & big. The body is slightly textured with grooves on the side, making it feel a bit more secure in your hand & not so easy to slip out.

    Between my sons and I, we have had all versions of the Galaxy from the S2 to the S5. The S5 is by far the best! I have tried the iPhone, but was not impressed. Samsung is definitely giving Apple a run for their money! I didn't give 5 stars because there's always room for improvement.

    It has everything I am used to with my older Galaxy, but all the new stuff I always wanted and runs SO fast and smooth. Did I mention that the USB 3.0 charger is fast as all get out?? It's awesome!!

    I've have an iphone5 and decided to change to the Galaxy S5. The Galaxy is a better phone, and I love all the apps, and the camera is much, much better. Will NEVER have another iPhone again!!

    This was a present for my wife, she had the Galaxy 2 and didn't want to give it up because she hates change. Well this transition was perfect, everything was easy to use and learn and my wife loves the quality of the pictures and the phone!

    Everything about the Samsung S5 says fresh and new. I love the feel of this larger version of the Galaxy S series. The larger screen makes it easier to see what I'm doing and the newest Android layout is very well thought out and intuitive.

    When purchasing this item I was able to take advantage of a promotion that allowed me to purchase the item for free. I have had no issues with the phone since I started using it two months ago. I really enjoy the extended battery life.

    This is my second Galaxy phone. I had my Galaxy 3s for a couple of years so I was ready to upgrade. My husband liked my Galaxy so much that he changed from his iPhone to a Galaxy also. Battery life is good; display is sharp.

    Love this mini computer which happens to also work well as a phone. One of the many things I like about it which is worth mentioning... it's water resistant! Why every cell phone isn't water resistant, I'll never understand.

    I upgraded to this s5 from an s3, & I love it! It's faster, with a great interface. It also has a lot of new features. I don't get the greatest reception with phone calls in my home, which is frustrating. My s3 had better reception - although that may have more to do with my carrier than the phone.

    Just switched from an old-timey flip phone to a smarter-than-me phone. This one is easy-to-use and was just what I needed during travel out of town ... easy to check e-mail and the conference aps. Plus the color is awesome!

    This was an upgrade for me from a Samsung Galaxy SIII and I must say this is so much better. The screen is bigger, more clear, and much faster for loading apps. The battery life much better. I stream music all day at work and the battery makes it through the day without charging. I love this phone.

    I purchased the latest Samsung Galaxy phone to replace my Galaxy 3. Great improvement is noticed when going up by 2 models. The screen is terrific with high resolution for reading, playing games, or watching movies. The processor responds quickly and multi-tasking doesn't even seem to impact the speed. Good looking product with a large screen and some new color options. It runs the Android Kit Kat 4.4 platform.

    Got this as upgrade for my son since store was out of black color. This copper gold color is actually really nice. Not really shiny. More like a copper than gold...so not "blingy". Performance of phone is top notch.

    I am very happy with my new phone, I went from the galaxy 3 to the galaxy 5 and there is a nice difference between the 2 phones. My new phone takes great pictures and video. that is the biggest difference that I see.
