I finally went to a smart phone and this is it! My transition was made from a Razr to a BlackberryTorch because of its option with slide out keyboard. I now felt graduated to total touch phone. One item I really wanted was a good camera like in the Razr and I will say I am impressed so far with its 4x zoom. The video feature is very easy to use. I had found the Torch a good experience so was interested in the Droid as well. I went to the net to compare various features. This phone was consistently mentioned as a good value. Each feature is intuitive, well mostly, and I was able to figure out everthing I needed. So I am now enjoying my exploration of various apps.

I replaced my Galaxy Note with this phone. I wanted a slightly smaller screen this time. The screen size is perfect for me. This phone does things fast which I enjoy. The pictures that I take are awesome. I use this phone for music, pics, texting, netflix, and many other things. The phone calls are clear and the outter speaker is pretty good. I also love the little buzz when you touch it and it lets you know you have something waiting like a text msg.

Going from the 3 to the 5 was a nice upgrade and the price was right. It only cost $1. Great battery life and the camera is much better.

I switched from an iPhone 4 to the Galaxy 5. I am extremely happy with my decision. The camera is amazing and the phone is easy to use.

My wife did the research, and we both upgraded to this from the S3. It's relatively easy to use, takes great photos, and works well.

I definitely love the phone. Takes great pictures and videos. So far the response has been very fast, facebook is the only app that seems to lock up the phone, not sure why that is.Also not sure why it came with a 2 plug cable since, my micro cable works just fine. It is water proof, I dropped it into the sink and bathtub filled with water. Looks like it can take a drop from 4 feet. both times it still worked. But again time will tell.

I upgraded from a S3 and it was a no brainer. The S5 has a better and bigger display, MUCH better battery life and basically didn't cost me anything out of pocket. The S6 was just about to come out but I didn't want to pay the premium price. Also, the S5 will allow you to switch out batteries and micro SD cards which you can't do anymore with the S6. This is my 3rd phone in the Galaxy family.

I bought the Galaxy S5 to uparade from my S2. Much improved battery life. I no longer worry about the battery not lasting the day. The larger screen is great.

Love the blue color that was available. Phone works great with great options with the camera. Great for everyday use and holds up to the water resistant offer.

I have always been big fan of Samsung phones. I upgraged from Galaxy S3 to Galaxy S5. I feel very much satisfied with the improved hardware. Battery life is much much better as compared to S3. Camera is gr8 with lots of new features. Processing is improved. Overall, it is the best smartphone I have come across.

Samsung Galaxy S-5 is perhaps the best personal smartphone! Everything about it is great - look, feel, touch! Initially I thought the size could be a concern - it will be too big! In fact, now I love it! The bigger font and type help me to read and write better. Why should you look at anything else? The next big thing is here....

We have a S3 and this is an incredible improvement. Great screen, improvement in response (processing). No complaints. My kids like to play games on it.

My first upgrade in four years. Wow what a difference it made. Great camera, fast moving phone when using app's and making connections. Really like it.

Bought this phone to replace my S3 galaxy and very happy with it so far after the first month. Love the long battery life and how fast it charges. Pictures taken with the camera are incredible. The phone is very fast and responsive and easily connects to our LG smart TV. I'm a fan of android and this phone most likely is the best of its class! Highly recommend!

Bought for my husband. It was very easy for him to get accustomed to and navigate. Nice large screen. Easy to follow commands to customize.

I love the camera and the many functions the phone can do.. But most of all my battery life is incredible. I would recommend this phone ..

Phone works great with it's core functions: Phone, camera, storage device functionality, interchangeability of memory (SD), battery lasts 2 days longer than iPhone 5, Smart Television controller, LOTS of Apps!!!. better reception than iPhone 5 (yes, I used the same carrier - AT&T). the list goes on so I get to the cons next. A few of the disappointments are in this order 1) USB 3.0 does NOT work - breaks connection with all 3 of my PC's/laptops. And yes, they are all 2 years old or less and work well with all my other USB 3.0 devices. This phone simply does not stay connected once I select USB 3.0 mode. It defaults to MTP mode (media transfer protocol) upon initial connection. If you try to switch to media device mode (USB 3.0) it disconnects. After 1 minute or so it reconnects again MTP mode. Max transfer speed is 30-35 MB/second. I transferred a 1.16 GB folder and it took 38 seconds. That's 32.77 MB/second. That is not USB 3.0 - it is USB 2.0! 2) Accuracy of keyboard is lacking compared to iPhone, but tolerable. In time it will begin to annoy you. 3) Not all S5's are the same (not a problem for me, but may be for others since it is a provider/carrier related issue. 4) There are EXTREMELY few, if any, after-market charging stations/radios - the iPhone market has Samsung WHOOPED in this aspect. I miss popping my phone on a charging station and wlking away - now I have to whip out a wall plug in unit and ganky USG cable to charge my phone - where's the industry support for my S5? 5) No free text messaging over wireless connections - COSTLY and iPhone wins BIG in this aspect ! 6) No free "Find my cell phone" app from Samsung - iPhone wins big in this department :-( There is no good reason for Samsung to get whooped by Apple on this feature. 7) Lots of costly bloat-ware apps are loaded from the factory. Most cost $10 a month to purchase/use. 8) fingerprint reader takes 2 or 3 attempts to read the finger print. I changed to PIN security which is actually a smart option by Samsung. Plus, there is a pattern option for security. Given the choice of these options, Samsung made up for the poor finger print reader - nice save. 9) Connector has a little door to help with water repellency - its annoying and I wouldn't be surprised if many owners tore this little nuisance off the phone. 10) Media interface software (Kies) is years behind iTunes, but it does work - meh... Well, that's all for now. I know this may seem as though I don't like my S5 because I had a lot of minor "Cons", but I really do like the phone. My iPhone had/has more Cons than the S5, so all in all, good job Samsung.

Positives - Easy to understand and use, excellent camera, best screen colors and clarity, amazingly valuable and useful features Negatives - phone voice quality not good, too sensitive to touch

Bought this for my significant other with 4 kids, we love the water resistant options it has also very easy for the kids to use

Excellent product and easy to use. I waited 3 months for this color option and to see what the Alpha had to offer. I am sorry to hear about the short comings with Samsung's Alpha. I never thought they would go backward to proceed forward. So I bought the Samsung S5, I wished they would of released the Barcelona Model to the US Market. I mean who wouldn't love 32Gb of Memory and 3Gb of Ram, plus throw in an Octa-core processor and it would be perfect. Oh by the way Alpha has no memory card slot so yeah not cool. The best thing Samsung did when it came to the Alpha was keeping it out of the Galaxy S product line up. Thank you Samsung! The goofy plastic cover for the charge port on the bottom, hmm lets see my sister bought the S5 when it first came out and said hers just fell off. So whats the point of putting it on if it don't stay on? The Camera however has blown my mind with it's quality. Beautiful pictures and nice video too! Just wish it had more editing options like the LG! But I need to remember it's a phone first. Well this concludes my Support, Buy the S5 in Electric Blue, everyone loves it and everyone complements me for waiting to get something I wanted and told me I was right to do so! BestBuy Exclusive they say! Lucky me for having an account! Blessed Be Samsung! Thank You!
