Galaxy s5 is great. But it has some tweaking.

Pros: Convince, speed, availability,and great design
Cons: uncomfortable (for one hand use), lags(after 20 updates non the less), battery heats up after a sertain amount of use(so get that money for a new battery), and it's a bit fragile (Letters already fell from the back cover).
Over all its probably the best and worse phone from Samsung, I choose this phone because I have a 64Gig SD card that holds everything dearest to me, but the fact that you suffer lag and battery heat for the convince of expanding your storage, it really comes down to how it handles in your everyday life, and well it's great and all but if you are someone that's always on the move, remember to buy a case for the phone. I happened to drop mine by tugging the cable as I turned around my chair (the first day), and it dented the edges of the phone, it hasn't been even a month and the Samsung logo already fell off the back of the phone sadly, overall is good, just expect some tweaks, if you have been saving money for a 5 I recommend to keep saving till the Galaxy s7 comes out, I'm skipping 6 because of the lack of expandable storage, if I was looking for an overpriced non expandable device, I would've gotten an iPhone, over all I didn't spend half the money I had saved up, so when the Galaxy s7 comes out, I'll have just enough to purchase it, however if you simply can't wait I'd recommend this phone for sure. It's a disposable phone that you can give to your kid, brother, sister, whatever it may be, while still handling amazing preformance. It delivers if that's the answer you were looking for, it does what it says, but it has its down sides. Overall it's better than my MetroPCS phone by far, there is nothing better than a reliable phone.

WOW Best one yet

I had this phone just over 2 years and it still works just like new still.
I installed a tempered glass on it and I'm sure glad I did. I dropped this phone many times and finally I cracked the glass. I took this glass off and the phone screen looks new. I did by a new glass and installed it because I was so impressed with it.
The phone was easy to navigate though and simple to set up all my e mails, apps and files on it. I went on Samsung website and it was easy to find other cool features that I could use.
This is the best phone yet. The pictures are great and the zoom was even better. The sound is excellent, private and speaker.
On the last thing I want to say. I will buy another Samsung next time. Perfect product for me.

I am a constant Samsung product user. Laptop, Television, Blu-ray, and adding a phone to that mix, Ill never switch to another phone again, and the Samsung Link app to tie them all together is amazing.
Pros: Inexpensive, Realistic color, Bright display, Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight

Great Phone & I had loved it.

All was super good UNTIL somebody did a mandatory system update on my phone about 2 weeks ago. I am so upset that the update deleted ALL my my pictures and data on my Ext. Memory Card. Those Pictures were worth a lot of money to me. I do not understand why they would not warn me about my whole phone would be deleted. If I had known I would have removed my memory card. All was super and the phone takes great Pictures. But now they DELETED ALL MY great PICTURES. OH, and my battery life is now cut in half after the update.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Durable
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
