Over heats sometimes and not a lot of memory. But used to have an iPhone and definitely prefer my Samsung now. Pretty easy to figure out which is great because I'm terrible with phones.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: Too big, Did not meet expectations, needs more memory, overheats sometimes
I would recommend this to a friend!

Had this SG S5 for over 2 years and it is still working GREAT! Everything about it works. The battery holds its charge for at least 12+ hours and I use it quite a bit. Love SG phones and plan when I renew to upgrade to a SG S7 Edge.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

The overall performance and design of the phone are wonderful. The only thing I would recommend would be to sync the Samsung/Amazon/Google Apps all into one download/update platform so that a person doesn't have to struggle trying to differentiate between them.
Pros: Realistic color, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: too expensive
I would recommend this to a friend!

This phone has been great. Over 2 years old and though battery needs replacing I would only replace it if I find the new edge is worth the cost. Can't complain about the battery since I use my phone to go online a lot every day.
Pros: Durable, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love my S5!

I upgraded to the S5, from a Moto G. BIG difference! Everything about this cell is superior to what I had previously. I added a 64gb SD card, and that helps to keep the cell whizzing along.
Love the glass screen protector that I invested in! Even though the S5 has Gorilla Glass....I made the decision to give it a second layer of protection.
Since I do not game or download movies and videos....this cell will accomdate me forever!!
Pros: Bright display, Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight, size
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great phone.

Removable battery. Expandable memory. Bright colorful display and feauture galore! Also water and dust resistant. Great product. Runs smooth. Does the job. Im constantly finding new things to do and play around with on this phone. The front facing camera could be better but im not picture savy so it doesnt bother me. Its a bit pricy but I believe its due to all of its specs (water and dust resistant, gorilla glass, super amoled display, 16G internal storage, 2G Ram, etc.) i think android can be a bit laggy at times ( i was a windows phone user for a while and experienced very little lag with their OS. I switched back because they are too far behind in apps and updates.) but what "computer" doesnt get that way when youre trying to do too much at one time. Its a definite keeper and with the lack of expandable memory and removable battery phones coming out, I wont be upgrading anytime soon.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight, removable battery, expandable memory, water and dust resistant
Cons: bad front camera especially for the price.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Poor battery and tends to be laggy and glitch or freeze.

I wouldn't recommend this phone as a phone to buy. Save yourself grief and buy an iPhone. It freezes, randomly decides that the fingerprint scanner doesn't want to work, it will randomly got hot in my pocket, and battery is awful. From 7 am till 1:30 pm of LIGHT use, it was down to 25%. At 7am it was fully charged. I used the phone for 5 min MAX! At 9:30 am, it was already 70%. I don't know why it does it, but it's a real pain to recharge 2 times per day. The stock charging cord is junk. It stopped working. My phone said it wouldn't charge because "it was not the correct charger". Camera isn't as good as advertised. 16 megapixels doesn't look near as good as the iPhone 8 megapixel camera. Do yourself a favor and pass on this phone.
Pros: Lightweight
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, laggy, poor battery, random glitches
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
