The greatest phone on Earth...until the S6 comes out
on September 5, 2014
Posted by: JonBen725
I bought this phone on a contract upgrade back in July, and after 2 months of mid-heavy daily use, I can say that I still have "WOW" moments with the Samsung Galaxy S5. Whether it be the INSANE 16-megapixel camera, the incredible 5.1" Super AMOLED display, or the finger-blazing speeds from the upgraded processor, I LOVE THIS PHONE. The design is so comfortable in the hand and so clean to look at, that I rarely keep a case on the device. Recognizing that that may be a silly way to treat such a premium handset, I HAVE invested in a TPU gel case (clear, so I can still appreciate the design that Samsung intended). Have I mentioned that I love this phone? Now, the Note 4 was just announced this week, but even compared to that incredibly advanced device, the Galaxy S5 will happily remain in my front pocket for the foreseeable future. Bravo, Samsung.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight

Glad I ditched the iPhone

I really like this phone. I was very unhappy with my iPhone 4 as it was just so small. I shopped a lot for this and made the switch. I do miss playing Mermaids and would like to see it on the larger screen. Frankly I don't use the fingerprint matching nor the heart rate, but as a daily trail hiker, I love the water resistance and the dust cover. It charges fast, but I was a disappointed in the battery. The specs said 22 hours, but frankly I get about 8. Luckily it charges very fast. I would say the worst thing is the batter y life. I have had the phone a couple of months and have turned off a lot of things to try to maintain battery life.
But other than that, I really love the phone and do not miss the iPhone!
Pros: Bright display, Durable, water resistant!
Cons: battery life
I would recommend this to a friend!

It is everything the iPhone is not

I have an iPhone 5S at work and when it was time for me to purchase my own personal cellphone, I decided to go with the Samsung Galaxy S5 because it has features that the iPhone doesn't have.
* Larger screen - love this for watching movies
* No more iTunes - I can simply connect the phone to my laptop, drag and drop my media files
* Customizability - I can make my phone look however I want to...I use a "live" aquarium background with swimming fishes...something I can't do with an iPhone. I can also use any song as my ringtone...again...without having to use iTunes
* Longer battery life - my iPhone dies within a day...my Samsung can last 2 to 3 days
* S Health - I'm trying to take better care of my health and the S Health app has a lot of useful features... I also love being able to take my heart rate.
* Larger memory size - I installed a 128 gb SD card ...my Samsung Galaxy has more memory than my iPhone and iPad combined. I have all kinds of media files in it...from movies to songs to ebooks.

Overall, I love the Samsung Galaxy S5. It has pretty much replaced my need to be on the computer frequently.
