Love this phone

I tried the iPhone for a couple of years & decided to switch back to Android. I took my time deciding on which phone - the S5 finally won me over and I don't regret that decision. The battery life is fine. I am a heavy user and this phone lasts much longer than my old phone. It took me awhile to get used to the differences, but 'boy howdy' am I glad I switched. Apps have more capabilities and are much better. The phone easily handles all I need it to and offers me the chance to do even more than I have before. The phone/screen size is perfect. Plenty of screen to read emails & websites - so very much easier than the old phone. I have had to get used to the fact that things aren't as centralized (apps wise) but it's a small thing to adjust to and would have been required no matter which Android based phone I got.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Absolutely Amazing

This phone is even better than I expected it would be. The hardware quality and ease of customization is phenomenal, I am absolutely in love with the camera on this product. The battery life is an especially huge plus; I turn my phone on first thing in the morning, and on a single charge I can use it all day at work and not have to plug it back in until I go to bed that night.
All around amazing product, would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a great smartphone. Could not be happier that I finally made the switch over to a Samsung Android phone!

I was debating on upgrading from the S4 to the S5 so I took the chance and I don't regret it. There are a few things that I preferred on the previous model but with the options now I can't complain much. This phone is solid and packed with options.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight

love this phone

this is my third samsung phone in last 10 years and it's a big step from the Samsung Galaxy s3 that I had. I've tried other models from different makers none of them compare to the Samsung phones. I love this phone everything about it. the only con I would say is the speaker sound when you're on speaker phone or listening to music. overall I would recommend this phone very highly it's the best phone I've ever had. I'm very happy with it. I would recommend this to anybody.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, overall this phone is great
Cons: the speaker could be better
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best Smartphone Yet

I have owned the S5 for just over a month. I have owned a variety of smart phones as well as digital organizers (before smart phones). I am thoroughly impressed with the S5. The screen is fabulous and the performance of the device is outstanding. I know there are other phones on the market with faster processors and more RAM but I don't notice any lag with the S5. It is very responsive and fluid. I also like the design better than the S3 and don't see a huge need for all metal device so I find the design appealing. I actually like the back of the device but I (like most) use a case so once the case is applied - you don't really think about it anymore.
My only wishes, so far, is that the interface was more Android-centric. I do think Samsung has done a better job with the S5 of removing apps I don't really need. I also wish the speakers were on the front of the device and a little more powerful.
I highly recommend it.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: speakers

I knew the Samsung made good products, but wasn't prepared for how nice this phone is. Not only does it do everything a smartphone should do, it improves upon those things. Android has improved drastically in the past couple years and it is highlighted by this phone.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Lightweight
