GS5

Chances are, you'll be happy with the Galaxy S5 if you choose to buy it. It's a solid upgrade to the Galaxy S4, with reasonable improvements to the design, software and camera. I can't say this is your most visually appealing option, especially compared to the all-metal HTC One M8, but the dimpled back and waterproof casing at least add more durability than we've enjoyed on previous Galaxy S devices.
The fingerprint scanner and the heart rate monitor, on the other hand, need some work. Each delivers inconsistent results and can be quite frustrating to use. The good news is that you don't have to use them if you have the same experience that I did; the bad news is, if you don't take advantage of these features, you have less reason to buy the phone in the first place. What's more, Samsung put a lot of energy into integrating these features into both the GS5's hardware and software, which makes me wonder what the company could have included instead it left those features out. If you're looking for a good Android phone, the GS5 won't let you down.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

I switched to the Galaxy S5 from my Iphone 4 and I couldn't be happier. It runs faster and the battery life is amazing. I only wish that the colors of the menus were more cutomizable.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, water proof
