I Love My Samsung S5

I really love my S5. I consider it an excellent product. I did mark it down in "Value" as I think all smart phones are over-priced. But other than that, this is an excellent product! Strongly recommend.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Durable, Lightweight

Good solid phone

Good solid phone. Nothing great, but more of what we expect from Samsung and the Galaxy S line. I had the S3 which was a radical new phone. The S5 is a few steps up. Like the waterproof feature and being able to take out the battery and insert an SD card. The UI is frustrating as Samsung puts way too much in. Throw in Verizon and the amount of clutter is frustrating. What I don't like is how delicate the screen is. It makes ZERO sense to decrease the size of a phone to the point a drop will shatter the glass. This means we all need a large, clunky case to keep it safe. Really??? If you see an S5 sans case - it will have a cracked screen. I'd actually hold off and purchase the S6 Active versus this phone. From what I've read, they made the screen mostly shatter resistant while keeping it water proof. You lose the battery removal and SD card though.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight, sd card, waterproof, battery removal
Cons: screen can break, no huge upgrades from s4 or s3

Really good phone.

The Samsung 5s is a really good phone but there are a few things that need work. The battery life isn't quite what was expected with mediun us it runs down after about 5 to 6 hours of use. Although the recharge time is relatively short but I have heard horror stories of long charge time this isn't the case for me. it's easy to use and has a very good HD screen that is easy to see even in sunlight. The speakers and sound need some work because at times it's hard to hear from the speakers which are on the back side of the case.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: speakers

For a Refurb!

Although it's only been a short time (2 weeks) I can honestly say I'm very pleased with my Samsung S5 purchase. As a long time Samsung consumer I owned a note 2 that was very outdated by to days standards. Because the s6 was out of my budget I began to shop around and the Samsung s5 caught my eye. I read numerous reviews and found the users of this device to overall greatly satisfied. I'm not the most tech savvy person and the tutorials made it so easy for me to use. I especially like the great battery life and talk time the finger print security which lessens my concern about phone security. It downloads quickly, its lightweight and the size is great. Picture quality is good. Haven't really downloaded music yet as I use another device for that. I would recommend this phone to a friend, especially those who may be content with a phone that is not quite the "newest or latest" thing. Thanks Samsung:-)
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
Cons: some recognition issues with s voice

Great phone

I have the galaxy s5 in white. I love the phone although I've had a couple minor issues with it such as the charge port door is wearing out so it doesn't like to stay closed. It does drag a little opening and closing apps. I love how it's dust and waterproof... it actually is.!... Battery life on it is pretty good especially if your like me and always on it... overall it's great and I love it.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: speakers for music/speaker phone isn't very loud
