Greatly Improved Galaxy
on May 9, 2015
Posted by: Devonface
from Boise, ID
Expertise:Expert
I had a galaxy s3 before purchasing the s5. Overall the performance increase is immense. For apps everything launches at least 3x faster then the s3. I bought this phone because I knew it would be top notch. There is practically no wait time for apps and games now. If you are on the fence about the s6, the s5 is the right way to go. I didn't go with the s6 because it doesn't have expandable storage via SD card anymore whereas the s5-s3 do.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight, fast performance, great camera, expandable storage, great battery life
I would recommend this to a friend!

This phone is awesome, I bought it instead the S6, because it was cheaper, but I am not disappointed. This phone works great, and the Samsung headphones which were included with the phone are amazing.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Problems
on May 9, 2015

from Whittier, Ca
Expertise:Intermediate
I've had this phone for about 5 months now and I have had nothing but problems. I am constantly dropping calls, I have horrible service everywhere, the phone is constantly freezing and I need to restart it and the back light takes forever to come on when I press the lock button. It's not the service provider either because my husband has the note and he has perfect service everywhere. Bottom line, I regret ever getting this phone.
Cons: Did not meet expectations, not durable at all.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
