This has been a great phone

I really of enjoyed this phone. It has performed well. I really enjoy that it has ant+ which with different apps allows me to connect to a heart rate chest strap and bike speed and cadence monitors without any extra things. The expandable memory has been very flexible allowing more apps to download movies to a card. No more having to hoard precious internal memory for the few apps that I use the most. I just really like the freedom that I have using this phone. Most complaints that I could come up with could be app issues as well as maybe the phones. Like using the headphone remote to stop and play books on audible. sometimes it works well and other times I have to reach for the phone which can sadly be very inconvenient. Since I got my phone, My wife, mom and father-in-law all got the same phone. Great buy, Great camera. Took it as our camera/gps on a backpacking trip with extra batteries it worked great.
Pros: Durable, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very nice

This is my first Samsung phone. Very happy with the interface and features. Works great, great performance; great screen. All my apps (from the previous phone) have worked fine. Battery life is pretty good; lasts all day no problem.
Only quibble is that the screen is very responsive - lots of unintended dialing. Also, volume buttons on left side, power on right side, and main button on front bottom, makes picking up the phone without accidentally hitting something kinda hard.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I really like the S5. lots of interesting features and fast apps. S fitness apps are interesting but I prefer to use other fitness apps. fingerprint scanner works sometimes, but I finally just turned it off because it took too long to register sometimes.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love the camera!

I've had this phone for a few months now and by far the best feature is the camera. Beautiful, quality pictures everytime. That being said, I have not been able to take a picture using the selective focus option. Even though I follow the instructions and set pictures within proper distance, no good.
The only major flaw I have may not seem big, but honestly, it's annoying enough to make me reconsider a Samsung phone in the future. The charging port is horrible! If the room is dark and I have to charge my phone, it isn't as simple as plugging it in. I have to turn the light on every time because the charging port has to be placed perfectly. I bought this phone for the camera but found a downside I just can't live with

Evolution not Revolution
on August 13, 2014

I would never stray from getting a Galaxy line smart phone, but the differences between the S4 and the S5 are minimal and disappointing. The S5 is not a revolution to the Galaxy line, simply an evolution. Minor changes and improvements make it superior to the S4, but not by a significant amount.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight, hd screen, battery life
Cons: Did not meet expectations, plastic back, not a significant upgrade from the s4
I would recommend this to a friend!
