This product had me very excited at first. but after a year and a half of usage my viewpoints have changed I was sad to see after just a couple of months a significant drop in speed and smoothness throughout the ui and I believe the reason is touch wiz because if you look at the specs the phone should be fine and fast and fluid. But touch wiz does something that boggs it down. But will give props to display most enjoyable display ever. I have heard that the s6 has fixed most of these problems (and from friends).Just wish Samsung would fix these problems with update the nexus 6 seems very enticing now :(
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great phone that does everything I need and more. I love the heart rate monitor and all that s health has to offer. I've owned other brand phones and other Samsung phones in the past and out of all the phones I've used or checked out Samsung has the best
Samsung Galaxy S5 is a small handheld computer and entertainment device in addition to the original and important function as a cell phone. I am waiting for the chance to buy Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge.
I have never had any issues with this phone and it is built really well. I have a terrible habit of dropping my phone and I only ever cracked the screen once when it dropped face down onto a rock. There are occasional glitches as with any technology but if you keep your software up to date then it is minimal. I will probably keep this phone until it is no longer useful, I have no need to always get the next best thing and my phone works just fine no need for a brand new one to shell out more money when this one works perfectly fine.
From the photos and videos that you can take to the apps, I love everything about this phone!!! My first experience was my work phone and that prompted me to change from my IPhone.
