i love my s5

I love my galaxy s5.. It got ran over 5 times the front screen was shattered it wouldnt come on right away. But when my son came down to visit he plugged it in to see if it would work and the lights came on.. We took to repair shop they replaced the front screen and LCD.. I couldn't believe this fixed my s5 it works perfect there was no internal damage at all. Even the repair man was impressed.. Samsung Galaxy s5 is the best phone ever.. I will continue to upgrade to future galaxies.. I'm completely sold on these phones..
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, perfect
I would recommend this to a friend!

Galaxy S5

Cons: The Calander on the S5 does not have a task/to do category nor does it have an option to preview said tasks/to do lists for one day at a time. The left touch screen button pulls up the last items that you have had opened up on your phone instead of pulling up the settings for whatever site or app you are on. Dislike the middle button being for google search since there are many other options to access it.
Pros: Bigger screen, Can take pictures from sensor in back (haven't figured that out to test it yet), Back case: cool texture & look, Brightness goes very bright to very dark allowing me to not use a screen darkening app. Toolbox feature, Waterproof, Dial pad automatic when in a call, Larger charger, Customizable settings & Power saving modes to be exact.
Conclusion: Overall a good decent phone. Nice upgrade from the S4, just have to get used to the few differences.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: calendar not the same, left touch screen & button not like s4

Not a bad product but it does not have a WOW effect!

I was a iPhone user since the first model came out. I just switched to AT&T from Verizon and to Galaxy S5 from iPhone 6...
I have nothing negative to say about the hardware or specifications...
Replaceable battery is a plus!
Extra SD card storage capacity up to 128GB is a plus!
16MP Camera is a plus....
Screen resolution is a plus and few other specs are good too.
The only negative thing I recognized is the location of the speaker. It is behind the phone! When you hold the phone at your hand in normal position the palm of your hand covers the speaker and muffles the sound and decreases the output level which is not really loud or crystal clear to begin with...

The only major issue about this Android devices compared to iPhones are the apps... If Android system organizes their apps a little better they will be million miles ahead of iPhones but I guess that's not the case.
As soon as you take a Samsung Galaxy S5 in your hand and begin to go thru the screens, it is impossible not to be overwhelmed. This is the biggest negative point about these phones in my opinion!
I mean it is filled with apps...
Some may say "well isn't that good?".
The answer is "No".
Because most of them REDUNDANT!!!
You want to listen music? There's MUSIC, BEATS MUSIC, MILK, PLAY MUSIC..... For God's sake how many music app you need to listen?
You need Navigation? There's HERE, GOOGLE MAPS, AT&T NAVIGATOR.... etc.
Same for Messaging... MESSAGES, MESSAGING, MESSENGER...
If the core purpose of these apps could be combined under one single and very decent app for each category, then these phones will easily be the #1 in the world!

I got my S5 with a Gear S and loving every moment of it!
The first impression of this phone is
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color
Cons: bad speaker location, filled w/ redundant apps
I would recommend this to a friend!
