Conversion was a Snap

I love my Galaxy S5, but what I really appreciate is the ease with which I was able to convert over from my Motorola Droid. Pretty much a no brainer. From the minute my data was ported to the S5, I was up and operating seamlessly. More important, the graphics and features were so much better.
I liked my Motorola, but I love my Galaxy S5. I researched a bunch of phone before I picked the S5. In the end, the decision was easy.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, fast
Cons: speaker could be better
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great device but with a few flaws
on September 5, 2014

Expertise:Expert
I really like this device. It has lots of great features, the screen is amazing, and the overall design is very nice. That being said, there are some flaws. Most of which I can live with but the one that really disappoints is the Bluetooth. This is the only device I’ve ever had in which the Bluetooth radio frequently hiccups or completely disconnects at random. It’s bad enough that I’ve had to remove all Bluetooth partnerships a few times and clear the Bluetooth data cache. Samsung really needs to release a firmware update to correct this.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: bluetooth radio has problems

Great battery life and power management

I'm not a "power user" of cell phones, but I've had phones that don't hold a charge well throughout the day even when not using it. Not a problem with this phone. And when I do use it heavily, the ultra power saving mode is a fantastic feature to have.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display

I love this phone!!!!!!

I went from the old slide keyboard phone to the S5, It was scary at first but within a few minutes I was buzzing around the phone. I just fell in love with it. It is easy to use! I use it a lot for games and taking pictures. My grandbaby loves to play games on it. She is 4 and can find her games without help. The pictures are amazing and oh so clear. Where I live I was having trouble with service and missed lots of calls and texts but with the s5 I get every call and text. Samsung you made a great phone!! This phone blows me away. I have lots of fun on it, with it and love playing with all the apps.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight

Great overall phone

Expertise:Beginner
I switched from the iPhone 5 to the Galaxy S5 and love it. There are a bunch of options on this phone that are not on the iPhone. The only downfalls I've had so far is the phone getting "stuck" and having to reset it by removing the battery. The camera is a lot different but should be better than the iPhone as well but I'm still getting used to it.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
