Best Features and Design
on May 31, 2014

A nice phone to have. Amazing Camera, speed and very resourceful. Battery life is great with power saving mode. The Screen does a fine job in the sunlight. Feels great when you hold it. The only con i can think of is there is no "Download Booster" with Verizon. However, 4G LTE provides great download speed so i don't need it. Overall, this is a great phone and my money was well spent.
definitely recommend Galaxy S5 to anyone.
definitely recommend Galaxy S5 to anyone.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, battery life
Cons: no download booster on verizon
I would recommend this to a friend!

Incredible Phone

I am not a pro when it comes to phones. Honestly, my phone prior was the Pantech Breakout and this one is AMAZING compared to that one. First off, memory! Lots of it, plus I have more on the SD card. Clarity is great. Phone lasts forever. I personally used to run out of power often and see many of my friends still run out while I just put mine on the program that will make it last days longer (comes in handy when camping or forgot charger). Scanner is GREAT. I had problems with it at first because I used my pointer finger (index finger?). I learned to use the middle finger. It seems that when you use the pointer finger, you tend to go sideways or different angles without realizing it. Meanwhile, middle finger just goes one way (hopefully that makes sense). What else can this phone do? It's my remote for my living room tv, GREAT pictures (no need for camera). I don't freak out when it gets wet. Not waterproof, but it is water resistant. I got the white phone and even the color is great. I don't actually get to appreciate the pretty design since I put it in a cover, but that's okay. I rather not look at it and have the phone last then remove it and it break from this or that.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight

Best SmartPhone I ever had!
on June 5, 2014

I have had several smartphone for the past years and I am also an avid tech-buff.
For purposes of having the prestige of owning the newest tech and usability of the device itself for corporate telecommunications requirement, without hesitation I purchased the Samsung Galaxy S5 (Shimmery White.)
Point of decision leading me to the purchase:
1) Screen and device size - perfect as handheld device. I owned Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and tried Note 3 as well. Although the Note 2 and Note 3 screen tops the screen size criteria (good for GPS viewing as well), holding the Samsung Galaxy S5 regularly just fits well on my hand without an issue of 'too big' or 'too small' to hold. "The size is JUST right and that made me decide to purchase the unit without hesitation." It has been more than a month now since my purchase of S5 with high satisfaction. Current configuration: used 64GB MicroSD, Wireless charging S-Flip, Samsung Wireless charging pad and also just placed my order for a Samsung mini wireless charging pad.

2) Other units I tried prior to the purchase: HTC One M8 (absence of user replaceable battery was the deal breaker) and iPhone 5S (screen was too small and I was simply not an iphone fan.)
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, removable battery, the unit size is just right., samsung kies 3 reliable application
Cons: none.
