    It's a good phone but not a great phone. Build quaility for a top tier phone is just average with plastic components. Will this hold up for 2 years? I don't think so. I took it back after a week and got the HTC One M8 and couldn't be happier with the decision. The HTC doesn't have as good a camera or waterproof, but it is a much better experience overall. Great quality. Built to last and fast!

    I have had the Samsung Galaxy S5 for 3 months now and I absolutely love it. It is by far my favorite phone I have ever had. The camera is great and it holds a charge for the entire day, even when I play games and get on Facebook.

    I like my s5. The battery life is great. The camera is great for taking pictures. The different picture modes are very useful. The graphics are so vivid and it's very pleasing to the eyes. The speaker is average and could be better.

    I had 3 different iPhones and liked them all but the Galaxy S5 beats them all. Perfect size, great display, fast and I have been able to find all the free apps that I need. At half the price of an iPhone, it is a great value.

    I have upgraded from the S3 and S4 and not have the Galaxy S5. My primary reason for upgrade is I like new stuff and I want a better battery life. The S5 could use a little bit better battery but it is sufficient for what I do.

    This phone is the best I have ever had it can do almost everything.I can start a text message and it can almost finish it for me. I never knew how to text before I got this phone and Lindsay from AT&T showed me one time and it has been a breeze since. No more snail mail.

    The screen is big and still fits in your pocket. The OS is a lot faster and can multitask. The finger print security is awesome. The camera is a little lagging when taking pics but nice if you have a cooperative subject.

    I bought the original Samsung S phone when it first came out. So when it was time to upgrade my Samsung S3 phone, I automatically started looking at the S5. I am loving the upgrades that have been made since the S3.
