    I got this Galaxy S5 for my wife. I got the same one in white about 7 months ago and found it to be an excellent phone. Since the Galaxy S6 came out the price was right as well. It may not be as good as the S6, but we like these phones a lot.

    Excellent upgrade to the galaxy line of phones. The display alone is worth it if you spend a lot of time on your phone. Battery life is excellent as compared to previous phones. The only issue I've seen thus far is when I put a call on speaker it crackles a little; however this issue is not at all worth returning the phone.

    The camera is awesome on this phone. The mic/speaker is the worst. I have a hard time hearing when I have a call on speaker phone. It's not that loud and it only has 2 small slots on the back of the phone !!!

    2 problems I have with it....The speaker phone is not as loud as my previous phone (Galaxy s3) AND with the OS updates, the Hands Free driving has been removed!!! Otherwise, I am happy with the phone....but not as happy as I would be with those 2 items fixed!

    The s5 is a great phone, very responsive and quick. The gold copper look is very classy in my opinion. Only complaint is that it is loaded with Samsung bloatware

    I had a galaxy 3, was looking at the 5's but was going to wait to upgrade. BB had a trade in special on the 5's, so I figured why not take advantage of it. Has been great so far, works like a charm...no complaints on my end

    Switched from Apple to Samsung and I should have done the transition way sooner! Clearer, pics are better, and of course...the larger screen!

    I've been a Samsung Galaxy owner for 3yrs since the Captivate model..and always said I would stick with Samsung til they stopped making em. I fell in love with the phone thru the commercial..but fell deeper in love once I held it in my hands. I don't do all the things this phone is so capable of doing..just the basics...but I love snapping photos and this is the best mobile camera I've owned by far. Soooo pleased with my purchase!

    I Love this Galaxy 5s from Samsung. I have used this Model with Verizon as well as with Sprint. But I am more impressed using my Phone with the AT&T Network. The 4g is lightning fast and browsing the Internet is great. The Phone is also very User friendly. I had the Gear 2 Smartwatch to go with this Smartphone however the Smartwatch quit working after 1 month. So I now use Sony Smartwatch 2 and it works great with my Phone.

    My husband actually purchased this phone. He first bought an Iphone 6 and was not very happy with his purchase. He returned it and with the help of a very qualified staff chose this Samsung galaxy 5. He previously owned a galaxy 4s so I believe he was accustomed to the Samsung. He is satisfied with his purchase.

    This is my first smart phone, a high-tech step I had avoided out of fear that the device would give me capabilities that I would not have the acuity to use. But there is so much intuition built into this phone/camera/computer/night light that it swept me along to an easier life -- and a bit higher self esteem!

    I am thrilled with my new phone. Who would have thought 50 years ago that you could carry processing and computing capability, that used to have to be housed in a large building, in your pocket. It's abilities are amazing.

    Most current model for 1 dollar, plus the tax. No other price comes close. Awesome phone. No need to upgrade for awhile either.
