The only negative thing I could say about the phone is its size. I love the size for the watch ability of videos and reading websites, but people with small hands might have trouble.
This smart phone does just about everything I could possibly ask of it. From taking excellent pictures to playing my hundreds of songs on a play list. Very reliable, good battery life.
Happy with the features, occasionally unimpressive performance

I gave up my Samsung Galaxy S3 to purchase an Samsung Galaxy S5. I was very happy with my S3, but it was starting to date itself with functionality and apps, plus the newest technology is always enticing. When I first activated my S5, there were issues with transferring my content, so they used an alternate way that took much longer. The phone then began to have issues opening apps, sending messages, and basic glitches switching between and opening an closing applications, within the first 24 hours. They were inconsistent so I couldn't exactly repeat them,, but enough that it was kind of a bummer to have a brand new production not working smoothly (only because we are so spoiled these days). I went back to the store and they factory reset the phone. The major glitches seemed to go away. I do love the phone, but I have issues with my text messages sending, sometimes browsers loading, and switching between apps can be slow. Regardless of where I am, sometimes turning on or off the wireless helps. The camera is good for a camera phone. The colors are fantastic and I love the screen. I watched 7 seasons of a show between the phone and my tablet and couldn't complain (only about the connection sometimes, but that could have been their internet.). I wondered if I may have gotten a slightly defective phone, but as I said it can be very inconsistent, and my brother who also switched to the S5 is experiencing some of the same things.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, fun
Cons: Did not meet expectations
I would recommend this to a friend!
