I have been very pleased with this device's speed and performance. I have always liked the freedom of android to truly customize your phone. However, I would like the ability to remove bloatware instead of just turning it off. I know there are apps to download that will help you remove these but they often require rooting. However, overall, I would definitely say this is the best device I have ever owned.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Lightweight, speed and performance, look and feel of exterior and software, water resistant design, removable battery and external storage, 16 megapixel camera
I would recommend this to a friend!

Samsung software and Hotmail

Samsung home button doesn't work if you have Hotmail installed.
It will always ask you to set a default for the Home button. Even when you select a default program.
This is a very common problem across the internet.
If you don't have Hotmail installed the phone works fine.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Used to like it better

Overall I have been extremely happy with my S5, that is until the new over the air update Lollipop came. The phone never needed to charge more than once a day with my regular use. Now I am charging a minimum of twice a day and that is with minimal use. If this issue can be resolved then I am back to being a happy customer. Until then, not so much.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: heavy battery consumption with lollipop update
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Phone For The 21st Century Parent

I love the convenience of my S5. I have had it for about a year now (S2 for two years prior) and I don't know what I do without it. Being the president of the PTA at my son's school and being a full time chef is no easy task. Being able to merge three different calendars into one and having access to it in the palm of my hand keeps me on track.
Taking the PTA into the digital age has not been an easy task to accomplish with the demands of an extremely demanding kitchen. I can say that being able to access our domain account when I get an idea for the website with my S5 has been a life saver. If I didn't have it with me to make that addition at that second on the website and had to wait until after a busy Friday night in the kitchen, I think we would only have a homepage.
I have had the 2 used the 3, messed with the 4,and tested the 6,but the 5 has really made me Galaxy S faithful. I can't wait to see what comes next.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: speakers are not very loud., vibration is very weak in relation to older models
I would recommend this to a friend!
