The phone is good just a few things that need to be fix like the battery drains too fast ...the camera stops working a error pops up "camera failed"...the s4 was faster ....speakers not as good as s4 speakers
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: Too big, Did not meet expectations
I would recommend this to a friend!

Just when I was thinking about a Galaxy S4 the S5 was announced and I had to wait for it. And wait. And wait. But it was so worth it!
The colors are amazing! My wife and I swam with Beluga whales and when we show the pictures to others their mouths just fall open! Whether it's pics, streaming Netflix, or surfing the web, the depth and clarity of the images never cease to amaze.
I've only had this a couple of weeks now and have not begun to fully utilize the capabilities, but I am so impressed that this afternoon I'm buying another for my wife! Shh... it's a secret!
If you are looking for the top of the line in smartphones, you can't do better than a S5!
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Bad update.

My S5 was good with the exception of the finger print scanner, it stopped working after about 2 months. Now with the recent update a few weeks ago it is so slow and I mean everything is slow. The delay in the typing is bad to. The wi-fi has to be disconnected just to stop it from trying to connect all the time and the widgets are completely gone I have no access to put my clock back on my main screen because there are no widgets to do it with. In all the phone was nice but not too happy with it now with the upgrades.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is my 3 smartphone and so far is the best!
Easy to set up. Many features I do not know how to use or ever will as I am 60+
Has anybody had problems with the power cord connection?
I am sure my wife will break hers
Also anyone used the wireless charges?
Do you know if they would work with a case on the phone, I have a aluminum case and wonder if the signal would go through
Any help would be appreciated

For the amount of $ this phone is a nice phone and is it worth the money? NO not by a long shot! The fact that the battery life is horrible, I just took my phone off the charger while it was off and at 100% I turn it on I do this and bam 95%. Phone freezes when you go answer the calls making you miss phone calls, and no more menu button which is a bit annoying. Figured this phone would be great but I was wrong. Not something I would encourage to buy hold out.
Cons: Did not meet expectations, expensive, horrible battery life, no menu button, phone freezes when answering calls.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
