T-Mobile Galaxy S5 review (SM-G900T)
on June 30, 2015
Posted by: SoCalgg
from Orange County, CA
Expertise:Expert
I have nothing but good things to say about this phone. In fact I'm very impressed with all its features and options. Major advantages (for my use) include:
1. Fingerprint reader. With the right applications you can protect ANY feature of your phone (and although others complain on how 'exact' your scan has to be, I find it working just right! You want this to be secure after all!)
2. Private mode, which allows to hide sensitive business documents
3. Waterproof (as I already destroyed one phone in my past at sea.)
4. Remote control (didn't think it would be useful, but am I glad it is there.)
5. Camera is excellent with a lot of rich features.
6. Screen brightness and clarity is simply awsome.

6. Screen brightness and clarity is simply awsome.
Some features that could use more improvement:
a. Private mode: I wish I could 'hide' applications so that they don't show anywhere except when private mode is enabled.
b. Android specific: I wish the lock screen was better designed, with notifications NOT overlapping owner information.
c. Maybe there is a setting or app to allow me to do this, but I wish when someone texted me, the phone would beep every once in a while as a reminder (rather than just once.)
d. I wish I could override Lollipop's white background on apps and dilogs with black.
e. Lacks a comprehensive wireless / wired suite of software to allow for easy sync / file transfer / manage phone from computer (apps do exist that independently allow you to perform the above.)

I cannot see how one would be dissapointed from this phone. It is rather pricy and has kept its price up, but I really think it is worth it!
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, fingerprint reader, a load of sensors (altimeter barometer compass)
Cons: private mode needs slight improvement
I would recommend this to a friend!

The camera, speed, storage, sound quality, everything has been great. Though, the battery life seems to just die so fast. Other than that, I can't imagine how much better the 6 is.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: battery life
