    My experience with the Galaxy S5 was very enjoyable, but it is not the Galaxy Note 4! That is the reason it's not 5 stars. I returned the GS5 and bought the note and had I not done that I would be shopping for a new iPhone. The GS5 is better than my iPhone 5, but not better enough to make me stay with Samsung. The Note 4 is way better and has made me a Samsung fan.

    The phone size is just right. The design looks nice and slim. The camera has great settings and takes high quality pictures. The down side is the phone gets warm very quick and the speaker is located in the back of the phone which will block the audio when you place the phone in the surface.

    I've been an iPhone user for about 4 years. I was hesitant to make the switch but I sure am glad I did. The freedom is amazing on this phone!!! The camera features are amazing so all of your pictures come out beautiful. The multi window feature is awesome as well.

    The phone is great. It has everything that I need on it. I especially like the app that sends a message to callers and texters that you are unavailable to answer your phone and it can wait. The colors are very vivid and bold and the camera takes excellent pictures.

    Compare the specs and features of the GS5 to current day, entry-level phones and you'll see that it's still a great phone. Excellent AMOLED screen, water resistant, removable battery, etc. If you can find one on sale, it's still a good buy.
