I've had samsung since high school. And every time I upgrade to a newer model, I'm more impressed with the extra features every time. The health app is very useful for reminding me to stay active. The smart remote makes me feel like I'm in the tv show the Jetsons. I love the s talk. It's not perfect, but it proves to be handy when I'm driving. So far no system issues. But I know that's coming 6 months into owning the phone. Every one knows there's a person out there ready to push the red button. lbs
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color
Cons: no cons yet
I would recommend this to a friend!

I upgraded from the S4 to the S5 3 months ago. I gave my S4 to my daughter who was thrilled to have it. Before I upgraded, I noticed several people with S5s by the amazing screen that they were using. I would have to go over and get a closer look and sure enough, it was an S5. Awesome color and detail on this phone. I also knew that the processor had been upgraded generously and I wanted that too. This phone has not disappointed me in the least. I have had no problems or issues that a few people have claimed to have had. Awesome display and really fast, with little or no lag. I work outdoors alot in construction and I was caught in a downpour recently, I was pleased to have a water resistant phone that wouldn't be compromised by a little rain. I do have issues with the fingerprint scanner, because it is not reliable. Many times I have to swipe my thumb 2 or 3 times to get it to work but it does work I guess. I think that there are too many little options that come with touchwiz that I will never use but overall the UI is great once you get used to it. The camera takes good pictures except in low light situations but works pretty well. Now that I have said all this, I have to say I will upgrade to the Note 4 asap. After playing with the Note 4 demo and reading the reviews, I am already to upgrade to the Note 4. I still highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a great display and a fast processor. This phone will not disappoint most people.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color
Cons: cheap plastic design

Another Great Product from Samsung!

I was with iPhone for many years. I made the switch to Samsung back when I got my Samsung Galaxy S3. I recently purchased and upgraded my S3 for the Galaxy S5. And let me tell you. This phone is fantastic! I will always be a Samsung Girl from here on out. The S5 is sleek, the design fits perfect in my small hands. It works flawlessly every single time. I was shocked at the battery life on this phone! It stays charged forever and I use my phone ALOT! AND even then it will only drop about 1/4 . All in all this phone is amazing. Everyday I'm finding a new feature or function that I don't know existed. I love it!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Lightweight

My Galaxy S5 is speedy and very responsive. I could go from one app to another without any lag. Display is vivid and the rear camera captures vivid images with colors close to true colors. Size is taking a little time for me to get used to, but it is an awesome phone! I particularly love the Air View feature!
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color

I was reluctant to try this phone because of the larger size, however it isn't that much bigger. I've had No problems with the phone thus far. I had the Galaxy & really liked that, but this phone is more asvanced. I'm not sure if I will use everything on the phone, but no complaints here. The battery life is great! !
