I had already been using a Samsung Galexy tablet for several years when I decided to purchase my phone. I love the bigger size and the features make it very easy to navigate. The camera is wonderful as well - sharp, beautiful pictures. Best of all, it sinks with my tablet, so I can have access to everything I saved no matter which device I use.
I have had my Galaxy S5 since February 5, 2015. In 60 days I have gone from "Wow" to "Darn, When Can I Replace This Phone?".
The amazing phone has more features than an old geezer will ever find. It also had an incredible long battery life.
Before long, because of the huge memory, I had added many apps that sucked the battery to a life of under six (6) hours. Place a fully charged phone on the nightstand before sleep; have a dead phone in the morning.
After removing all apps; the battery life was still bad, very bad.
I did find a solution. Turn off the synch feature I now have to ask for email updates to synch; but, my battery on discharges at 1.3% per hour unless the screen is on. From 22% per hour to 1.3% per hour just by unchecking one box.
Now, I am a happy camper with an amazing phone.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I wil be 75 on May 20, 2015 and have never used a smart phone. A friend showed my husband his new smart phone of a different brand and my husband convinced me that I should get one. I love all the techie stuff, so of course, I started my seach for the best smart phone out there with the best plan for us. My husband still uses his flip phone, but encourages me to keep up to date on things. I decided the Samsung Galaxy S 5 was the phone for me. I love it and find the Instruction Maual very easy to use when I need help. So, if you are a senior out there, get the Samsung. I love it.
This is a great phone I like it alot i had an Iphone but prefer this much better. It has easier apps don't have to connect to computer to down load. Calendar contacts easier to maintain.
