I own a macbook and an iPad but I could never see myself owning an iphone. I've had an S4 and S5 and they have never done me wrong. The battery life is good, screen size and quality is great. I can customize it in many ways and has plenty of features I find useful. Overall wonderfull phone and I look forward to purchasing the edge soon!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Lightweight

My wife and I are very happy with our new S5's. We upgraded form the S3 and it was seamless to do so. We like the new features in this phone and Samsung has fixed some of the things We didn't like about the S3 like adding a row of numbers above the keypad when typing. Overall both of us are impressed with the performance of it so far.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not My Favorite

Expertise:Expert
It's is too big for most of my pants' pockets. I have accidentally by swiping up, turn on my sound.with embarrassing results. After over a month, still not fond of it. The camera isn't as good as my old Photon. The ringtones' volume is all over the place. BUT the battery life is incredible.
Pros: battery life
Cons: Too big, Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Doesn't feel much different from Galaxy S3, same flaws and more

Upgraded from Galaxy S3 to S5. Unfortunately this didn't feel all that different, and still suffered from many of the same flaws, such as:
- poor battery life after a while
- phone would get real hot for no real reason
- phone would get real hot for no real reason
The camera also got worse - takes much longer to focus (or sometimes keeps focusing and focusing without ever focusing) and as a result i have way more blurry pictures.
So overall feel "blah" about it. Wish I got the Samsung S6 instead.
Pros: Inexpensive, can add memory and change battery
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, gets hot, poor battery life, camera that's frustrating
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
