Hands down, the best phone I've ever owned!

Friends, Romans: lend me your ears. I bought my Samsung S5 after a year of loathing my iPhone 4s. I'd owned several Android phones in the past and made the switch to the 4s after seeing so many others enjoying theirs. Long story short, it only took me a year to fall out of love and another year to wait for my contract to end.
I tried the S5 after seeing all of my friends (who didn't have a 4s or 5s) enjoying theirs. I missed Android, so I made the leap. HOLY COW! This thing is great. It's got more features than I will ever be able to understand how to use and it's very intuitive.
Things I like: I LOVE the battery life and the interchangeable battery. I can go all day (texting, calling) and end the day with 17% left. I could never do that with my old phone! I also really like the call clarity and the thoughtfulness of the design. Everything operates in rhythm.
I was initially concerned with the size. I wear suits every day (I admit, tighter than I should...) and was concerned about pocket bulge. This phone fits perfectly in everything if you don't have a case on it.
The bad? The only thing I dislike about it is the sensitivity of the buttons on the bottom. They are really bad for one-handed use, but I wouldn't want it changed!!! I just need to learn how to properly engage 1-handed mode.
Overall, this is a GREAT phone for someone who needs to go between business and personal. This phone is as useful in the office as it is in the gym or on the road. Thanks, Samsung!
Pros: Realistic color, Lightweight, heart rate sensor, intuitive design, water resistant, great camera, fast processor
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love this phone
on August 12, 2014
Posted by: LadyN
As a past user of the I-phone, I find this phone very user friendly. Some things I don't like are the buttons on the side - I accidentally push them sometimes. Wish the battery life was longer - sometimes can't make it through the day without recharging. I also sometimes accidentally touch the button that brings you to recent apps but I am learning to keep my fingers away from that. Otherwise, I love the large screen area, the beautiful photos. Really enjoying this phone and looking forward to getting the tablet as well.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: battery runs out too quick
I would recommend this to a friend!

With the Samsung Galaxy s5, one can be so sure of the device security. You're able to lock and open your device just by your self with your finger print.

I switched to the Galaxy S5 from another company and am so glad that I did. My only regret is not doing it sooner. The screen alone is priceless. Everything I do on my phone from pictures and Pinterest to editing papers for school is easy to do on the Galaxy s5! There are so many useful features, it's impossible to decide which is my favorite! I recommend it to everyone!
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
