The Gal S 5 is the first phone I have owned that truly is a computer and performs like one. No lag time. No buffer time. Resolution is spectacular. Most SLRs do not rival the 16 mpx camera on this bad boy !!!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, camera @ 16 mpx
I would recommend this to a friend!

Brilliantly slim and perfect for a lavish buy

It certainly not an inexpensive product to buy. But if you decide not to change your device for next few years then its a great product. The health apps are awesome which keep a track of my meals and calories burned.
Also the processor is amazingly fast which until now, I have not seen in any other devices before.
The only thing is I am not able to customize the shortcuts I wish I could have in the drop down bar for example Turning Mobile network ON/OFF. But overall its great.
Finally, the most important aspect of this product is its battery life. I closely monitor battery life of every phone I ever had and hands down this is the best battery life I have received in years.
With proper use of unlimited mobile data and switching between power saver mode, the maximum battery I got until today was 1day, 14 hours and 51 minutes for fully charged battery (100%) to come down to (17%). Thats 38 hours with regular usage which unbelievable. So I got a screenshot of the same to prove my claim.
Hence its the best product for me because after calling and texting, the most important feature for me in any phone is its battery life.

Love everything about this phone except one issue which is the network keeps going off and on. It's upsetting when you're trying to work online and it keeps going out, especially for the price of the phone, this shouldn't be happening at all!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, water and dust proof
Cons: keeps losing networking
I would recommend this to a friend!

Expect nothing less from Samsung

The features, speed, durability, and quality makes this phone second to none. The personnel at Samsung has got it right. I am a proud Android owner of several devices which sync perfectly with this phone. The Samsung Galaxy S5 is a great extender of my life because I am able to book appointments, share photos, create videos, watch movies, check the weather all at the same time thanks to the ability of multiple windows running at the same time with no lag. The processor is amazing! I have not used the customer service for anything (this speaks for itself) so, I cannot rate their efficiency. I will post an update in 6 months being this phone is about a month old. I will purchase Samsung electronics in the future.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Really good phone, Really BIG phone

Phone works as advertised. Battery life is respectable (leaving the RAZR MAXX, I got a little spoiled over battery life!). Looking forward to eventually trying the wireless charging... But Samsung cannot seem to keep the covers in stock. Even when getting notification via email that it was available, when logging in, it was out of stock again... Phone camera is nice, takes good pics. You have to turn on the flash, and if you restart, you have to turn it on again if you want it to work (even for automatic use).
Definitely like the phone. It is a little big, and with the Otter Box Defender case (without the cover), it is a good chunk in your pocket. Benefit of the large phone: easy to read the screen!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display
I would recommend this to a friend!
