Fast, feature rich and versatile

I've owned iPhone's, Motorola Android phones and a Galaxy S3 (which I loved) but the S5 is the best phone yet. Quick and versatile I use it on the go for business and leisure. The large display is just right, not too big and not too small. Battery life has improved over past years and other makes and models. I would definitely recommend this phone to anyone looking to get a smart phone.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

This product can definitely keep you busy. I like how easy it is to navigate. I had some issues in the beginning with the camera , and when I call some people can't hear me but overall it's very good. I think samsung is getting better and better and can't wait to see what you'll have in the future.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: some people not able to hear you

on the fence

The galaxy s5 has me on the fence. The camera does not perform as expected. My first 200 or so pictures were blurry. After several weeks I finally tuned the settings to ok. Yes it is better than the iPhone now. The auto focus is turned off I also have to use burst just so the shutter doesn't take 5 minutes for one shot. As for the rest of the features on the phone they are good, better than the iPhone but not great. If you buy this phone from Verizon, AT&T, or sprint and have Time Warner Cable or Cox Cable be advised that you must have a knowledgeable cable representative in technical support that knows how to change the wifi settings through them because Samsung sends out their phones for Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint on a different WIFI band width. This problem can cost you a lot of money if not knowing this. It will say you are connected but you really are not. This makes your data run at all times and your not on WiFi. Just have your cable company match your band width and there shouldn't be any further issues with wifi. I do recommend this phone because it is a good phone just a few bugs to be worked out. It is far superior to the iPhone even with the problems I had.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Lightweight
Cons: camera needs improvement, wifi needs to be able to connect to every wifi.

great battery life and screen size

the ultra battery saver is perfect especially when down to 10 percent battery which it lasted a day for me in that mode. the screen is perfect size being big enough to play games, use apps, or watch videos and its still a good enough size to not be overwhelmed.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, battery life, screen size
I would recommend this to a friend!
