Satisfied, but not trilled

I really like my S5. In many ways it is the best smartphone I have used (I have used quite a few). The camera is very nice; takes clear, vivid photos in a variety of styles. I really appreciate that the charging port is backwards compatible. The power saving tools are handy and fairly easy to use, extending my battery. On average, my batter last about 1 day and a half. Memory is outstanding, in my opinion. Although it may seem slow sometimes when on the internet, you have to cut it some slack! You're not using a desktop computer here! For its size it packs a very nice punch. One large draw back I have is the near constant force feeding of updates and application suggestions. However it is easy to sift though to weed out the unnecessary updates and apps, someone else might end up downloading a lot of stuff that would just end up taking up space and messing with other useful applications and software. Also, I highly recommend the Otterbox cases, as they have saved my S5 from many, many life ending falls and bumps. All and all, I've enjoyed my S5, but next time, I believe I will try another brand.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, power saving
Cons: too much fluff
I would recommend this to a friend!

happpy with upgrade to S5

I upgraded to the S5 from my Android Charge phone which I was really happy with but after a few years the battery wasn't holding its' charge. The new phone uploaded everything with little or no problems and was very easy to use. I was pleased with the learning curve and the phone. The only thing that I don't like is the charger. I find it difficult to plug in sometimes and you really have to pay attention to the connectors. Otherwise I love my phone and could not function without it, sad to say it has come to that.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, great camera, love the apps
Cons: charger connection hard to plug in
I would recommend this to a friend!

This product has so many amazing features straight outta the box! I haven't really had to download hardly any apps because everything I need is here. All the camera features and options are unreal. And the fact the I don't even have to touch my phone most of the time to use it is ridiculous! This phone is amazing!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight

A Great Smart Phone to Have.

My experience with this phone has been great so far! Hasn't glitched a more than a couple of times. If you are in school, I believe this phone will help with studying and other educational needs. It has an awesome modern design. This phone has so many more options in the system. You can use SD cards/microchips to extend the memory of this phone, a feature I like. This phone gave no reason for me to hate it, except that if you get your password wrong 10 times + more, it'll reset your phone back to factory mode and all personal data will be lost. This feature I wish they will change, but i do see it'll help protect your personal data that you'll no longer have. I wish they could have done something a little different, because what if your child was playing on your phone and accidentally reset it to factory mode. But in all besides that, it's a pretty good phone, a phone I recommend.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, detailed design
Cons: Not high def, expensive
I would recommend this to a friend!

The best phone for me so far
on August 13, 2014

This phone has met my expectations. This S5 has a lot of garbage I will never use, I try them all but not practical for me. The big seller for me is the large screen, Water safe to a good degree. I do a lot of offloading and having the protection from the dust is a big seller, I do not recommend but to clean it off on a run I will use a spray bottle of water and drain off the dirt and dust the dry off, has worked for me. Not to fond of the charging post cover and have purchased a wireless back and at home charge not using the charge cover. I have gotten my boy to switch from the iphone to he S5. The battery life is great and the ability to replace battery without having to go to a tech to do it is a another great feature. I am sold on it.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Lightweight, water resistant, addable wireless back, display size
Cons: charging cover
I would recommend this to a friend!
