Eat it Iphone!

The S5 has been the best phone i have had to date! All of the features make it a super easy phone to use but also make things in life so much easier. The fact that it is water resistant is just an extra plus because as y'all know most of tend to drop our phones occasionally! The Iphone used to be a leader in the smartphone game but now is trumped by the S5 and all it's capabilities! I highly recommend this phone!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight

The S5 Is Good, But, Not Great

The Samsung Galaxy S5 is the best smart phone I have ever used. It feels good in my hand. If you're into customizing your smart phone, you'll love the ease in which you can customize the S5. If I had to pick my top 3 features this phone offers they would be S Health, fingerprint scanner and Google Now. The camera and speaker earn an honorable mention.
Two things that need to be improved are the headphone jack and the flap that covers the power charger port. When headphones are plugged into the jack they easily can pop out of the headphone jack stopping playback of whatever you're listening to. It's very annoying to have to keep unlocking my phone to press the play button because the headphone jack keeps popping out.
The power charging flap is a more serious issue. It breaks off easily if you're not being exceptionally careful. I had to have my phone replaced twice within two weeks of buying this phone because it easily broke off. Even after being very careful with it. This flap needs to be either redesigned or the material used to attach the flap to the phone changed. If you break this flap off you then lose the water resistance capability this phone has.
I highly recommend downloading the user manual and scan through it because of all the features and benefits this phone offers. Some of the S5's best features can be easily overlooked simply because you don't know they are there.
I really love this phone and can't recommend it highly enough.
Nonetheless, I love my S5 and can't recommend it highly enough.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, s health is really useful, excellent camera, you can add a 64 gig sd card, removable battery
Cons: power charging flap is easily broken off, headphone jack easily pops out, too much bloatware
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love the diffrent options for the display

I really like all the diffrent options the galaxy s5 has, especially for the display. I love the multi window option which makes it more easier to access to open up previous folders making it quicker to navigate. I also like the security features too like the finger print lock. Way cool but a bit difficult at time to open or unlock the phone. Overall still really like this phone.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight

I purchased the Samsung Galaxy S5 (Verizon), Shimmery White, this smartphone has everything and more. What a great battery life and a super camera. The screen colors are great in everyway,
there have been many people make great comments about how vivid the screen is and how fast the system operates on the internet. I also purchased a 32gig sdcard and it works great with the Galaxy S5, for protection I purchased a Speck Candyshell super grip case that is militiary approved for usage. I am so happy to know that my Galaxy S5 is water and dust proof and I have the ability to put a new battery in or sdcard with not worry at anytime. Super great job SAMSUNG!!!!
