The phone works well. The dual charging/data port is awful.

If it was not for the wireless charging feature I paid for and added to the phone I would have returned the phone. It amazes me that with all the resources Samsung has at their disposal that no one tested to see how difficult it is to plug the phone into the charging port.
Pros: it works
Cons: difficulty plugging phone in
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

My kids love to play with my phone and I've had to buy new phones because they got just a little wet from their hands. Not the galaxy s5, love it. I also love the security of the phone, it keeps my kids out but I can get in quickly when I need to, I've had issues with other phones with that. The speaker phone does break up a bit but otherwise great.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Lightweight, water resistant
Cons: speaker phone breaks up
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have owned my GS5 for a few months and I love it, the camera is great the display is bright and looks spectacular, the display is perfect in size and I love android (coming from someone who used IOS since the 1st gen upon touch) The only thing I dislike is the occasional slowdown of touch wiz (which has been fixed on the gs6)
Cons: would be better if it had a dosnfacing speaker
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best phone ever!

I can't find the best words to describe how happy I am with my S5! It has the best camera I have seen on a phone. The speed is awesome, no video buffering on you tube or the Earth Cams, the stereo sound is crisp and the graphics are lifelike. I am glad that I am able to open the water resistant case and can pop in a charged battery if I am outdoor and away from a charger.
I love my phone. It is easy to use and navigate to apps. The battery does not have to be recharged all the time (about every other night for me). It is bright and easy to read. This phone is large and is not carried easily in a small purse or pocket. I have the Otter case which makes it even larger but is very durable. I love it.
