This phone is overall a great phone. The only downside that I have experienced is some of the ringtones cause the phone to make a crazy static noise. I love the fact that this phone is waterproof. Having 2 little ones this is a great feature. The gestures and fingerprint unlock are amazing as well. Would recommend to anyone.
This is such an upgrade to my last phone. The speed is fantastic and the camera is AWESOME. I have no complaints. It charges wonderfully and quickly.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

I absolutely love my Samsung Galaxy S5. The features are great, battery life is great, display is beautiful, and I feel my phone and personal information is secure thanks to all of the security features. It is durable, thin, and lightweight.
I was able to run my games with ease. All of the games functionality was not impaired.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display
I would recommend this to a friend!

I enjoy the speed of the processor and the number of apps the phone can accommodate without stress. I've used it for watching videos, weather radar, traffic maps, messaging, phone calls, taking pictures, TV remote, stopwatch, e-reader all with no problems. I can't seem to use the fingerprint ID (my fingers are too smooth?) only problem.
I love the expandable memory and that i can replace the battery. I love how fast it is and the clarity of the screen. I love the camera and the size and the fingerprint feature. Most of all I love the price because I waited until the 7 came out and saved lots of money.
I got this as a replacement for a Samsung Galaxy S3 a couple of weeks ago and have been happy with the performance increase versus what was available two generations back. The addition of a water resistant case I consider to be a plus should it be needed (with a device like this that ends up becoming a companion in your pocket you never know) and also the improved battery life compared to the S3. The display is your typical Super AMOLED, very bright and colorful while being easy to read in all lighting conditions and doing a good job with video. A notable addition that I have taken advantage of is shooting video in 4K which looks decent for a device with a small image sensor. Still images also look good from the rear facing camera. The front facing camera is better as well compared to two generations back taking nicer pictures and better video, an advantage for the video chat apps available for Android. With the latest Android 5.0 (lollipop) firmware installed the phone is very responsive in both menus and apps but also plays nicely with not only Tizen but Android Wear based smart watches. Over all still a good choice even two years after its release. This former flagship phone still has quite a bit of life left in it and I would highly recommend it to anyone who does not care about the "latest and greatest" but wants a lower cost phone which is still far more than adequate for modern Android apps while still being highly dependable.
