This cell phone seems to be light years ahead of my previous one from last year, and I could go on and on about its great features. One that stands out to me is the power saver mode, allowing you to operate your phone in black and white instead of color in order to extend the device's battery life. Another is how easy it is to set things up so you can quickly and easily find your favorite apps. Well done, Samsung.
Best phone by samsung I ever had. This is how to improve a phone. It has gotten better and better each time but this is by far the best...... this is coming from a person that every appliance in my house is by Samsung. .... its money well spent!!!!
I like everything about but the pedometer and heart monitor are great.

I'm not really good at understanding electronics but my galaxy 5 is so user friendly that my 5 year old grandson can use it. I really enjoy it and wouldn't want any other phone. Never seen a phone that focuses so much on health it's great.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, pedometer, heart monitor, good camera
I would recommend this to a friend!

At first I wasn't a big android phone just from using my dad's for s bit of time and got an iPhone as soon as I could. But as time had gone by, I started to notice that iPhones weren't really changing much, and they seem to lack a major change, so I decided to try it android, namely the Samsung S5. I couldn't be happier with the switch, never would I have thought that this phone would be this much fun to own, and do easy to use. I doubt I would ever switch back.
We got to admit that iPhone is a very friendly phone. I learned how to use it really fast. I have the Galaxy S5 since 3 weeks ago (aprox) and.....I'm still learning myself. I went to a lot of web pages about tutorials and stuff. But I like the Galaxy a lot....I will dominate it....so many many features.
What I really mis about iPhone is the speaker. The speaker mode and the audio "percé" is much better than a Galaxy. If I want to view a movie I have to use my earphones cause even though I set the volume to max.....it doesn't seems that loud. If I want to listen to some music, I have to turn around the Galaxy so the speaker is not covered and I can hear the song. I am using a lot more my earphones for that matter because really.....the audio is not that good. In comparison with iPhone.....I used to use it on speaker mode.....or when I was listening to music I even had to turn down the volume cause it was so loud.....there where a very few times when I use the earphones.
Beside this two things............I love Galaxy S5! I will keep searching for what feature do and if this the speaker it got, well....I will continue to use my earphones :) Amazing product.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, elegant and classy, dynamic, practical size, built-in camera: great
Cons: Not high def, built -in speakers, too many promo apps >:(, the battery drains really fast
