Overall I think it easily tops any iPhone in appearance and features. The tab that covers the charging port broke off after a year and half which is not bad but now it's not water resistant anymore. I did drop it in water when the cover was in tact and it was fine afterwards. The camera is not great though. It distorts around the top and bottom, is extremely slow, and tends to over adjust to darken when facing bright light. I had better pictures with my first slide camera phone. I hear the S6 is supposed to have an improved camera. I'll say that their selfie beauty face focus is great. People ask how I get such nice skin lol. They need to include a tips and tricks book with their phone and tablets. So many cool things you never find out unless you Google it.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: camera is very slow
I would recommend this to a friend!

I had a Galaxy S4 before I got this Galaxy S5 and this phone is much more user friendly and is loaded with many cool features that my S4 didn't have. I really like the fingerprint reader, very cool, and much easier to use. It takes great photos and videos. When I got the phone all I had to do was login to my Google account and boom all my contacts and calendar appointments were instantly setup. Again,very cool and easy. This is s lot of phone for the money I highly recommend it.
This product is amazing, has great features and is very fast. I would recommend this to my family (which is a lot of us) and friends. I even plan on buying one for my daughter. It has adjustable light which is great.
I've used many types of yesterday and today's technical, technology's like, smartphones, tablets, fruit products, (two thumb down, definitely not a fan of those) laptops, Druid's (many different types).
So for the past 3 years I have been converted to Samsung! Keep Kicking it! Of course I want my friends to have what I have!
This is simply the best currently available smart phone

It's water proof. It has a replaceable battery. I may keep one battery in the phone while I charge one of my extras. It has an ultra saving power mode that allows me to go a month on three batteries with talk and text and never having to do a charge. Also I take advantage of the available extra storage buy using an SD card size of my choice. I've dropped it on concrete and it hasn't broken.
Pros: Realistic color, Durable, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!
