This is my first smartphone, and I love it! The only problem I've had was with the dust cover for the charger, which broke off early. I think it was flimsy. Other than that, it is a wonderful phone, with more features than I will ever learn to use. The camera is amazing! I simply cannot say enough good things about my Galaxy S5. I don't know how I lived without it before I bought it. The software update has been delayed for a long time, and it's hard to tell when that will happen.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Everything I want in a Smart Phone

The Galaxy S 5 is the consummate phone. It can handle my work life and my home life keeping things separate and keeping me in the know.
Performance is unmatched. I compare this phone continuously to my wife's iPhone and there is nothing the iPhone offers that the S5 cannot match.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight

Performance issues
on January 30, 2015
Posted by: NewMintedGrandMa1
from Virginia, USA
The phone looks good and have a great interface. However, it started acting up two weeks after I bought it. First it lost activation and I had to call my carrier to get it reactivated. After another week, it lost activation again! Did it three more times! Each time, it freezes up after reloading or rebooting for reactivation. My husband's phone is the same model, bought from the same store and has no issues at all!!!
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: poor performance
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

My Best Phone Yet

I have had many phones, and this one is my favorite and best one yet. The screen is great the durability is great. ( my phone gets dropped a lot, my daughter and my nieces love to take my phone and watch videos and take pics).
I do have the life proof case on my phone. which is the ultimate reason I tried this phone. I haven't had a single problem . I love my phone :)

Feature from Galaxy SIII removed
on February 1, 2015

Overall, upgrading from a Galaxy s3 to the S5 was seamless, especially with the app that makes it happen in literally minutes, once you get past figuring out how to get it started. This was in April of 2014, so maybe they have improved the app since then..?
One feature that I depended on from the S3 that has been removed from the S5 is the Macro Focusing of the camera. The S5 CAN NOT FOCUS on any object closer than about 5 inches away. THIS WAS A MISTAKE, TO REMOVE THAT ABILITY. I don't know why they did it, except that maybe some young person at Samsung decided that because it has so many megapixels that it wouldn't need the zoom in macro feature of the S3.
Other than that, there are some added features that are nice, but all in all, the S5 is a good phone.
