Samsung never disappoints

I will never stop buying Samsung products because they are the best bar none. I have had 4 smartphones in my life and 3 have been made by Samsung and I have yet to be let down by the quality of their products. I ordered my S5 last week and it just got here last night and I have yet to put it down... it is a major upgrade from the Galaxy S2 skyrocket that I had even though I loved that phone too. This phone is easy to use , the battery life is amazing, it is blazing fast, takes great pictures, has an amazing screen and I could go on and on it is just beautiful and I love everything there is nothing I would change about it if you are thinking about buying this phone just do it!!!
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

I had to return my device twice for issues. It was a brand new phone and the insides had to be replaced each time. I really love this phone, I think it is great and has what I was looking for.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: Poor quality, had to have it repaired twice for internal issue
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Stop adjusting to iPhone users.

The simple unimaginative features of the iPhone is why continue to use Samsung as my phone. I have an iPad, and this simple seeming interface of this phone, reminds me too much of it. Too many doors that lead to nowhere and categories that could all grouped together for a much better use of space. The fact I cannot or have not found a way to reassign my menu button to serve a different purpose is mostly upsetting. Other than this interface or OS, and your need to please the iPhone user, I love everything else. Please update and stay true to Samsung.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations, interface, operating system, speakers could be better
I would recommend this to a friend!

Samsung S5 Exceeds Technology Expectations!
on August 3, 2014
Posted by: kgraham

I kept hearing mixed reviews on the Samsung S5 until I began to differentiate the user base. There are two types of phone users...basic and advanced. Basic users do not need the long list of technology enhancements that a smart phone has. The advanced user needs a smartphone since the device contains much of the technology that you will be using on a day to day basis.
Enter the SAMSUNG S5! WOW! If you are not a power user, DO NOT GET THIS PHONE. Repeat, this phone is for Advanced Users only. If you are not an advanced user, you will be frustrated by the overwhelming amount of Bells and Whistles that money can buy today.
Now, if you are a power user like me, you will salivate over the amazing features this phone offers. I went through several WINDOWS 8.1 phones before I concluded, and sadly so that they were not ready for the mainstream power user market. One feature alone that outshines the windows products is BATTERY LIFE. You also are given an entire menu of control over what you want on and off at any given time.
The SAMSUNG is USER FRIENDLY. THAT IS HUGE. If you are not a power user, you will disagree with me on this statement. There seems to be a clear dividing line between power users and basic users and this phone sets the bar for POWER USERS.
I was a little hesitant about the ANDROID OS but I have to say, it has come a long way and in so I would say the OS has taken a QUANTUM LEAP since I last used.
All in all, this phone will exceed your requirements. Whether you choose to be frustrated or exhilarated by this is up to you and your level of telecommunications proficiency.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, accesories
Cons: if you are not a power user this isnt for you
I would recommend this to a friend!

my problems are
1-My phone's headphone's input is not working regularly. Sometimes its just one side works although I rarely use headphone
2-It's battery is dying quickly in day although screen light is low level. Sometimes I feel warm in pocket when it is in my pocket. In the first days , the battery is very well but it is decrease day by day
3-I rarely play fifa 2014 the world cup and the first 4-5 minutes later, its touch screen is not working smooth and screen heats up
4-most of my apps do not work in the first attempt barely they work in the second
The phone performance is decrease with each passing day.
