Galaxy S5 Rocks
on July 24, 2015
Posted by: Gerbie

I purchased my S5 mainly for the reason of the ability to expand the memory. My wife currently has an iPhone 6. Having used both, I can now say that the Samsung is a much better product all the way around.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Spoken text and social media posts
on July 24, 2015
Posted by: classiccarr57
One of the mot awesome features of my Samsung Galaxy S5 is the abiity to speak texts and social media posts. It saves so much time, and also allows me to respond safely to a missed call and/or texts by simply saying what I would have to type. I almot prefer checking my Facebook on my Galaxy S5 instead of my laptop!
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, awesome photos
I would recommend this to a friend!

Slow phone that burns my fingers
on July 24, 2015
Posted by: Anonymous
This is the 5th replacement S5 phone I have had and they just get worse. The first 3 had issues with the head set jack. Now this one is the slowest phone I have ever had. It takes forever to load photos and does not connect properly to the internet. The app widgets and icons appear, disappear or swap places on the main screen on their own. The touch screen puts off an electric charge that burns my finger tips whenever I use it, kind of like licking an old 9 volt battery. I guess that is good so I don't text and drive. It is way too sensitive and pocket dials calls (while in the holster) frequently. Plus it gets physically hot, not just warm, but too hot to hold at times and is a serious battery hog, needing to be charged several times a day. It's almost the worst cell phone I have ever had and I have had cell phones since bag phones were the rage.
Since Samsung has stopped making phones with user replaceable batteries, I will not buy anymore Samsung products. Plus, US Cellular loads so much bloatware on their phones, they probably all run a little slow.

Pros: user replaceable battery
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, very slow, battery hog, electrical burns fingers, poor conection to internet, widgets and icons move on their own, self dials, gets too hot
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I love my GS5! This is my second one my first one over heated and blew the screen internally. It was a sad day. Lucky I had my Galaxy gear or else I would have been without a phone at all. One week later my replacement phone came in. Once my upgrade is available I'll be switching to the S6. I'm still keeping my S5 for a back up. The S View is awesome and handy. I love the S5's water resistance. It's durable and super reliable. The battery life if phenomominal and combined with the ultra power saver makes this the ultimate phone when you need it in a pinch. I've had my phone last me 2 hours on 2%. I'll never own another phone that isn't a Samsung again .
Pros: Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight, alreliable, great battery life, dependable
I would recommend this to a friend!
