Wonderfull phone.

So many wonderful features. There are a lot of pros that I can think of but I want to focus on the only con that is a big one to me. The Bluetooth sound/calling feature is really buggy and cuts out a lot. I guess google has a list of people needing help trying to fix it. Would like to see an update fix.
Pros: Bright display, 16 mp camera, water resistance
Cons: bluetooth bug
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great performance but missing basic notification sound options

The S5 has great performance with almost all the bells and whistles. Unlike my last smart phone I cannot set up different notifications sounds for each email acct., text messages or specific people text alert. Additionally the dial pad is incapable of emitting DTMF tones which my hearing aide relies on for programming. I had to download an app to get DTMF tones. The Back and Window lights at the bottom of the phone failed within two days. Phone support had me made a backup and then I had to reset the phone. Two hours later I got the phones lights working again but it is missing all my calendar dates. The phone is very slim, too lightweight for my comfort and will most likely break with one drop on a hard floor. Before you even use the phone do yourself a favor and buy a good case.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Nice phone, poor attention to details, marketing

Expertise:Expert
This phone is NOT water resistant so I'm not sure why it markets itself to be as that simply leads you to use as advertised and end up with a dead phone. Also disappointed in the charger cover... It broke within a week. I like the concept of the phone but simply doesn't measure up.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not the best but good

Good phone when you first get it. Speaker is in a bad spot so design issues for those who use extended batteries.
After you root the s5 and install custom roms and a better kernel the phone is much much better! I have my phone customized to the way I want it to look.
