Way better than any other device I have used In the past. The bloat ware on this device almost made me switch to apple, well maybe the other Droid products. Until I saw a utube vid that showed me how to block it on my device. That kind of thing is unacceptable at the price payed for phone added to the monthly service cost and I was forced to add an external battery to get the (advertized) battery life out of the device.
I really like this phone. But if used for some time it starts to heat up. Screen gets extremely hot. Also with that then battery timing start to decrease. I sometime have to charge more than 3 times in a day. Software need to be modified. Touchwiz makes the phone slow as compared to iphone with ios8, that phone is blowing s5 away. Very slow compared to that.
Pros: Durable
Cons: Did not meet expectations
I would recommend this to a friend!

Been a samsung user for a long time now and couldn't be happier with the quality of their products.
I've only had the phone a couple of weeks, but so far so good. Overall I like the performance of the phone. Good form, good speed. Finger print scanner is a little touchy, but part of that is due to the Life case I have on it.
Two thumbs up so far.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The camera on this phone is absolutely amazing a really big upgrade from my previous S3. The display is nice and bright, sometimes a little to bright lol, and the resolution is great as well.
This phone is overall really good however performance takes a hit with all of the added features that take up storage, memory and battery life. Ive disabled many of the preinstalled apps and features because they are just a drain on battery. biggest problem is with storage, with 16gb built in and about half of that being taken by the OS itself and then add on top of that apps you want to install, a SD card is a must for this phone.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight, camera
I would recommend this to a friend!

My wife and I recently up graded our phones. I love this phone. Didn't think I would be able to afford it but with the new plans offered it was very easy. I also have a Galaxy Tablet 4 and they both work hand in hand with each other. Which is great because I can drop something I'm working on with one and switch to the other without skipping a beat.
