This phone is awesome

I really like this phones one hand operation feature. I only wish u could lock the one hand operation in place. Because if you lock ur phone and come back later you have to reactivate the one hand operation and that's a little annoying. But other than that it's awesome.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, one hand operation
Cons: one hand operation deactivates after phone sleeps
I would recommend this to a friend!

Bent charging prongs
on February 26, 2015

Expertise:Intermediate
I very dissatisfied with the 'warrant' on this product. I am a grown woman and take very good care of my belongings. Apparently the prongs are bent on the charge area. I was told that this automatically voids the warrantly and there is nothing that can be done for me. My phone is 9 months old!!!! Less than 1 year
Pros: Bright display
Cons: difficulty with charging cord
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great phone but not a big jump from the S4
on February 26, 2015

Expertise:Expert
I am a new proud owner of a Galaxy S5, and as always Samsung has made a terrific product and a class above of the rest in regards to smartphones. Although it is a great phone, my one disappointment is its lack of ingenuity or innovation in comparison to the S4. I have owned the S3, S4, and now the S5. The S4's advancements from its predecessor was much more significant than the S5's advancements from the S4.
The noticeable advancements though are the screen unlock fingerprint scan (which i enjoy), faster functionality, better display, and the camera quality has significantly improved.
At the moment of this review, the S5 is by far the best smartphone in the market.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Samsung Galaxy S5
on February 27, 2015
Posted by: Savageindian
from South Carolina, USA
Expertise:Intermediate
I have been a Samsung fan since the very first Galaxy, I have upgraded each year with honor. Each S series has improvements from the previous. I know they want to have the phones look and feel different from the previous series, it would be nice though to be able to keep an otter box longer then a phone.
This phone the S5 runs faster then the S4, the camera is better, the water resistance is great. I wouldn't go swimming with the phone in my pocket or anything, but at least a fast splash will not cause you to need medical assistance for your heart trouble.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable
I would recommend this to a friend!

The S5 is good.

Posted by: Agavion
from Mesa,AZ
Expertise:Expert
The S5 is a great device. I love the display and camera. The battery and performance could be a bit better though. The design would be much better if the frame wasn't plastic and ruffled. Other than those minor flaws it's a great device.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, poor loudspeaker quality sound
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Phone. Key and numerous features
on February 28, 2015
Posted by: pakizinda
This is a feature freak phone. You will find numerous features that you probably wouldn't use. Has a sense of value for the money. Everything was fine until the new update rolled out. The new update takes up more space in the RAM. All the recent apps are accessible even after the phone is rebooted. So called material design has lots of animations and default white background which affects battery life and performance. Hope this update gets fixed soon. Otherwise a recommended smart phone!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: Too big, 5.0 lollipop, usb cover too weak
I would recommend this to a friend!
