Very Poor Performance

I've had this phone for a year now. After the 3rd warranty replacement, I've given up trying to get this phone to function properly. There are many areas in the software or hardware that come up short. It repeatedly gets laggy or even hangs up entirely for no apparent reason. I've had to do so many battery pulls, I've lost count. It burns through the entire battery in 6 hours with hardly using the phone. I've replaced the battery with no change. each replacement phone that I received after the original phone, had some type of major flaw, like the Swipe function being broken in one, and the display scrambled in another, in addition to the general slow and buggy performance. I don't think I would ever get another Samsung phone or recommend one.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, poor performance
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I had a S3 and I felt in love but S5 gets slow after really short time, even do I like it when is working. I love the features and great pictures besides the advantage of having under water pictures.
Pros: Realistic color, Durable
Cons: it gets slow
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best phone I've ever had!

The Galaxy S5 is by far the most feature packed phone I have ever owned. You can customize this phone to do just about anything you want. It's more than just a cell phone; it's more of a complete "personal communication device". The screen is bright and crisp and the 4G speed is terrific. Can't wait to try the camera.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love the ease of use of my Samsung phone. It's light weight. The screen resolution is amazing. I tell everyone I know withank other brands that they need a Samsung Galaxy S5 or better. I have used Samsung phones for years.
