Pretty great phone, but has some flaws.

First off, I want to say that this phone is awesome. You can do everything that any other phone can do. plus more. It is a fast, user friendly phone with a GREAT camera and just overall quality. Another great thing about this phone is that it comes with very nice, sturdy, well built, gold plated headphones that have nice sound quality and some bass. The headphones also have a built in mic on them.
There are however some bad things about this phone (at least in my experience):
1. There isn't enough RAM. There is only 2 GB off RAM which isn't much, especially for a phone like this.
2. There is WAY too much irremovable bloatware preinstalled. This, combined with the already low amount of RAM, makes the phone very susceptible to lag. Just from running alone, the phone uses at minimum 50% of its RAM.
3. Lag. For me, this is only a problem when I have too many programs open at once, when my phone is charging, or when I have my case on my phone (which causes it to easily overheat and creates all kinds of issues).

Overall, this phone is pretty amazing, and I would recommend it.

GREATEST PHONE I HAVE EVER OWNED
on September 4, 2014
Posted by: downtoearthredhead
from Palm Desert, CA, USA
I knew when I first saw the Samsung Galaxy phone my friend had when it first came out that I was going to upgrade as soon as possible. I upgraded my smart phone to the Samsung Galaxy 5 and this is the best phone I have ever owned. My kids may be "fruit" device lovers, but I'll stick to Samsung ( I also upgraded from the popular e reader device to the Samsung Tablet, again, the best move I have made in a long time)....Keep it up Samsung, you have a loyal customer with me!!!!!!
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, great photos
I would recommend this to a friend!

I LOVE the camera on this model. I use it to shoot performance videos of my BF, a musician. Photo and sound quality are a great improvement over the G4.
Pros: Durable, Realistic color, great camera
Cons: on/off switch is awkward to use
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is the best phone on the market right now. the battery life on this phone is great facebook, instagram, twitter, and youtube and I still didn't have to charge until two days after. graphics are great. speed is phenomena.l dropped my phone in water and accidentally spilled juice on it and it still works great. only thing I don't like is that the sound could be louder and the charging port cover is horrible.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, waterproof, good quality
Cons: expensive
I would recommend this to a friend!
