    I had a Samsung S4 for two years and it was time to upgrade. Since I like Samsung products I decided to buy the Samsung S5 (giving my wife the Samsung S4-she doesn't like gadgets). Both are still working but we are considering upgrading both phones with the latest Samsung cell phones.

    Although the Samsung is a, great phone, it is not as user friendly as the iPhone. If your download music, it is not as, easily retrieved as on the iPhone and tends to get lost.

    Pros: The screen is vibrant and the battery lasts forever because the phone's power saving features. The Google assistant is convenient and fun. Cons: Another glitchy Samsung and the pictures are subpar for a 13 mp camera. The heartbeat sensor doesn't work well and the fingerprint scanner is inconvenient at best. Verdict: Doesn't live up to the hype. My two year old HTC One X camera took better pictures and was a lot more reliable. I chose the S5 over the M8 because I was worried that the M8 Android would be out of date, but I miss the seamless functions of the HTC, and I would choose the crisp 5 mp pictures over these blurry 13 mp pictures any day.
