Great - most of the time

The phone is solid but it encounters a lot of issues now and again. I found that turning off the automatic app updates stops most of the problems I was having. Now and then the phone can get very hot to hold. However, it is a very sturdy phone and I love the screen. I think that it could have seriously benefited from more RAM since the base OS consumes almost 80% of the phone's memory without any apps running. It has a lot of storage and I like that. I like the fingerprint reader that is built in. Overall, it's a great phone, but not perfect.
Pros: Bright display, Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight

I really like my Samsung Gallery S5 phone!! It is a great tool for keeping me organized & is very easy to use. The light weight & slim body make it easy to take along anywhere I go.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Durable, Lightweight, slim body, great camera, large screen is easy to see, colors are so life like & vibrant
Cons: the charge plug cover is flimsy & breaks off quick

I've used so many different types of phones but my experience with Samsung especially the S5 had been great. I've always enjoyed the use of my fingerprint as a gateway to the contents of my phone. Having lost my phone before and freaking out cos someone might hack into my phone and have a field day with my info, I'm really happy I now have this fingerprint feature to block any unwarranted intrusion into my privacy. Again, the phone has trusted backup source that aided me to retrieve all phone numbers of my contacts and all my photos from my lost phone, with ease.
Pros: Inexpensive, Realistic color, Bright display, Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight, dependable, superb features
Cons: no negatives...!!!!

I have the S5 and the Gear2 Watch. I love the size, screen and the effectiveness of my phone and watch working together. I get complements on both all the time. I have not had any system problems with my phone at all. Love all Samsung products.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Durable

Takes great photos, lots of memory to accomodate apps

The longer I have my Samsung Galaxy S5, the more I like it. In fact it has become my pretty constant and reliable companion, which isn't necessarily a good thing for a piece of technology to be but it is what it is. I've been able to choose a setting on my phone that allows me to access my camera from my lock screen without even having to unlock, which makes spontaneous photo taking that much easier. I've downloaded LOTS of apps and have not run out of memory for them. My phone works well as a phone, a camera, a way to access the internet, email, social media and to relax a bit by playing games that I've downloaded.....and so much more. The one downfall I would say is the incredibly sensitive touch screen. If I forget to put my phone into rest mode I can easily and inadvertently end up calling someone or finding myself in linked in, facebook, etc. because of an icon on my phone I accidentally touched. But that is my worst complaint. It's a great phone and I'm a very satisfied customer!
Pros: Realistic color, Durable, Lightweight
