I have already had to replace the S5 and the replacement is having problems. I must turn my mobile data on when I want to access the internet and immediately turn it off. Otherwise it is sucking my data. I normally use between 2-6 gigs of data a month. Last month 11 gigs, this month over 21 gigs. I was also on a cruise for a week during this billing cycle and not using my cell phone. I don't watch videos, stream music, etc. I check facebook, surf the web, use email, quicken once a week. I downloaded a few apps when I got the phone in April and when I got the new/new phone my apps have to be re-downloaded, using more data. Wish I was not locked into a contract. Does take great pictures.
Pros: great camera
Cons: Did not meet expectations, sucks up too much data
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Bye Iphone

I have had an Iphone since i can remember like when they came out with the Iphone 3. All my friends had a Samsung phone and could not be happier with it. So i switched. I could honestly not be happier with my choice. I love the way it feels in my hand. It works very well and I love everything that you can customize and the moving backgrounds. I would recommend this phone to anybody.
I absolutely love my Samsung Galaxy s5 it is a wonderfully functioning phone with advanced settings and options which make it all the more fun to use. The only thing i might complain about is the focus on the camera can take a really long time to focus, sometimes it doesnt focus at all especially if you are up close on an object. It also does not recognize a second persons fingerprint. Besides those two problems, I am very satisfied with my phone!
I have been a fan of samsung for a long time now all starting with the Samsung fascinate s1. Few years later I upgrade to the s3 and I was loving it. Now I see that the s5 is out and I upgrade, expecting that this phone will be the perfect phone for me. Boy was I wrong. I would not recommend anyone to get this phone. The iphone6 may be the better pick. The phone glitches up and is not an enjoyable experience. Keep in mind that I waited 3 weeks before giving this review in hopes that it would improve but nope. Worse decision ever!
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, water resistant feature
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, glitches and freezes way too much
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have this beautiful device since two weeks ago and I really love it, is the best purchase I made this year. !!
I have owned many competing brands of phones in the past, but I have to say I am now a Samsung guy from here on, the Galaxy S5 is by far my favorite phone to date. I love this phone and will recommend it to everyone I know.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight, fast, ease of use
