Amazing phone, but could be improved.

This galaxy is my second galaxy and it is a major upgrade from the S3. I like the fingerprint scanner, but the S6 new scanner works the best. I like the overall design, and it is very thin in my opinion. However, it lags very often and would like to see that the overheating is fixed. Also, battery usage is fine, but it could be improved. Overall, the phone is great and amazing, just some details that i would like to see changed.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: lags often, fingerscanner is inaccurate at times.

I have had my Samsung S5 now for over a year. It is, in my opinion, a great phone but with room for improvement. As with other phones the longer I have had it the more finicky it seems to become. Do I hear S6 calling my name? Probably, but none of the downsides (soomewhat laggy at times, freezes and battery length) and not deal breakers. Samsung will still be my "go to" phone for the Android.
Pros: Bright display, Durable
I would recommend this to a friend!

Only one problem with this phone

Overall, I feel I made a good decision to buy my Galaxy S5. It has the features I had in my S3, has a larger camera, is water-resistant, and is easy to navigate.
My only issue with it is the charging system. The S5 has that goofy 21-pin plug that is only intended to allow the phone to charge faster. Charge time is not an issue for me and the hassle of trying to get it to work is a hassle. On top of that, the transformer that came with the phone doesn't work at all and the manual says you have to use the transformer and 21-pin combo to avoid damage.
Fortunately, I can still use a micro-USB with it and can forgo the 21-pin.
I'm going on an extended camping trip this summer so we will see how it performs away from home.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
Cons: poor charging system design
I would recommend this to a friend!
