Awesome; but room for improvement

I absolutely love this phone!!! With that being said it also has some draw backs, memory is one of them. I was not happy to learn that half of the 16GB memory was taken by the OS and other software. When the new OS came out i upgraded to it and immediately regretted it because i then had no memory on my phone and had to delete most of my apps just to keep it running somewhat smooth. Other than the memory issue i really like the fact that it is water resistant. The screen has an amazing display. It is very light weight and i love the leather feel to the battery cover. Speaker isn't impressive at all (too low and dull, have to cup my hand behind my phone to hear anything). I really like the Lollipop OS, Like the new layout and features. I love the size of it and the way it fits in my hand. All in all i would def. recommend this phone to people but don't upgrade the OS to Lollipop unless you don't want any more memory on your phone.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations, not enough memory, speaker not loud enough
I would recommend this to a friend!

I don't know if it's the software or the phone itself. Sometimes the phone will freeze up during certain games or applications. Other than this, I have to say that I love this phone. It far surpasses the iphone I had prior to this...
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable
I would recommend this to a friend!

I had a Samsung Galaxy S4, but upgraded to the S5. I like the fact that most features are similar. A few changes that I don't love, but am getting use to... 1 being the menu button (left button) has been removed from the bottom of the phone and placed inside each app/program. The button is now the fast app switcher (or for me delete all apps open button). But overall I do like the product.
Pros: Bright display

Going from a galaxy s3 to my new galaxy s5 was great. The s5 is faster, has many more features than the s3, and I love the larger screen.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight

The phone itself is amazing & the fact that it is IP67 certified is great. If you are asking yourself is it waterproof....? Well it isn't but pretty close I've had this phone almost a year, I have gone swimming with it, with no case on it. I worked in the oilfield and dropped it in sand and oil still works fine! It's some what fairly resistant to fine dust. And it has reinforced glass. I still give it a wash with mild soap and low pressured water weekly, just to remove excess oils. So yes I recommend this phone! And the photo quality is awesome!
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: water res. makes speaker not as loud.

The product that Samsung has made is the best because of the way it is designed it has amazing things that you can do with the phone I love my s5 because of the bpm on the back and hoe it tracks your footsteps it's a very good idea because the bpm can help reduce the risk of diabetes and in a way can save lives every day meaning the s health it self my whole family has one you guys are awesome in every way if there was a sixth star rating I would do it all the way I love your guys' product thank you 5 stars all the Way
