I was lucky enough to be given this Galaxy S5 from Samsung Mobile Insights to try for free. As a first time user of a samsung phone, it took a little getting used to. It's operating system was very different from the one I had been using on my previous smartphones. After a little bit of a learning curve, I learned to navigate my new phone with ease. The Galaxy S5 has a beautiful display, everything on the screen is so crisp and clear and the colors are amazingly lifelike. I like the design of the phone, although, I am not crazy about the back being made of plastic...I worry that it would easily break. However, i always keep a cover on my phone, so it is not a huge concern for me. I love, love, love the ability to add memory to my phone by using a memory card (I imagine you can guess which type of smartphone I have been using in the past). The only thing about the Galaxy S5 that I truly and deeply do not like is that it is huge! I can't fit it in the pocket of most of my pants. I do not like to carry a purse with me, and I prefer to put my phone in my pocket, which I simply cannot always do with this phone.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: Too big
I would recommend this to a friend!

I really like this phone, I upgraded from the Galaxy 2 and did not expect to find much of a difference, but was pleasantly surprised at how much easier it is to use. The only problem I have found is that the fingerprint reader does not consistently work. It accepted my fingerprint scans, but only sometimes works. So I had to disable it. I have spoken to other people who have the galaxy 5 and they have the same experience. This was a huge disappointment because I really hate having to enter a password.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color

The new Galaxy S5 is pretty sweet. The speed is pretty good, but not as fast as the Note 3. The built in heart rate sensor needs some work. That is one feature that could be better.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight

This product was a great suprise from my prior iPhone

Do not like the open market on apps. Privacy like iPhone provides is a top notch service. No reason for any one to have access to my data etc if it's not necessary to run the application. I don't like that the phone can have this game running on it that I didn't open in the 1st place. Security needs to be worked on so that we are more protected. I didn't have these worries with my iPhone. It makes me want to switch back for that very reason.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, size is good.
Cons: Not high def, camera quality is not good.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have had this phone for a few months and it has been flawless. Definitely happy with my purchase and my next phone will definitely be a Samsung also. This phone is fast. Most of the apps that I've downloaded take a second or less. Great for streaming videos. I haven't had any lag at all. I highly recommend.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, awesomeness, value
