I like it but don't love it.

I upgraded from the SIII to the S5 and the new features, battery life, and 16 mp camera was a plus, but it seemed to be glitchy. I had problems with my screen being black when waking up from its sleep, the touch would work but screen would be black. In order to fix you have to turn it off and on again, Quite annoying. Sent it in for warranty but still didn't fix the problem. Also camera never wanted to focus, and trying to take quick pictures of my 2 year old was impossible. Pedometer was a nice addition, quick charging, fast processor. Like I said I liked it but wasn't in love with it.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Built-in speakers, camera (when it focused), battery life, s health
Cons: Did not meet expectations, camera had a hard time focusing, lcd? black screen
I would recommend this to a friend!

I had no idea that this phone can do so much more than my I phone. I love my new Samsung! The applications from Google play are phenomenal. My I phone couldn't do anything compared to this phone. I am very pleased and amazed! Now this is what I call a REAL smartphone!
Pros: Inexpensive, Realistic color, Bright display, Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight, water resistant and durable, camera options are great!, applications are limitless
I would recommend this to a friend!

I Love This Phone!

I've had this phone since the end of May and I can still say I love it and find new things out about it on a somewhat normal basis. The apps are awesome and there's a lot of customization that can be done throughout the whole phone. I have to say the only thing I'm not crazy about it the S Health app. I had a very hard time deactivating it after I opened it just to explore and it killed my battery life. Aside from that it's easy to use and has a lot of great features.
Pros: Inexpensive, Realistic color, Bright display, Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: freezes sometimes
I would recommend this to a friend!

This phone is great for a while

When I first got this phone I thought it was amazing, but not even 3 months in it started having problem. It's a little better not. If you are getting this phone I would suggest to get it if you don't play a lot of games or want a ton of apps. Even with my memory card that I keep cleaning out with my pictures, I've had to delete a few apps to be able to get my updates. I wish I could delete the apps that come on the phone when I first got it Bc I don't use them. But I was told I can't delete them. As of now I have only had my phone since March of 2015, and my number pad when I'm trying to type in card numbers messes up. And when I'm trying to swipe to answer my phone calls it makes the sound like it's going to go but it doesn't. I have to keep swiping over 5 times. Sometimes I have to let it go to voicemail and just call them back. So I suggest this phone for anyone that switches phones every 6 months.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
Cons: doesn't last long, messes up
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Love the setup for texting and how the features operate without even touching phone.

The drive mode tends to send out smug texts when I hadnt even told it to go to drive mode,but once turned off its great. I love the way it is set up to text, its smaller than my other phone yet it is significantly more operator friendly.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: drive mode is a bit annoying
I would recommend this to a friend!
