I've gad this phone about two weeks. I am still trying to get used to it because my last phone was a Windows phone. I don't quite understand the various sound volume controls and would like to make some of them louder. I guess I will figure that out in due time too. I love the pictures it takes. And I am catching on to it it's many features. I know I will be even more pleased as I get used to everything.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, great camera
I would recommend this to a friend!

I was never big on Android till I bought this phone. Finally a phone that makes Android shine. Never lags, excelent battery life (My biggest gripe about Android), beautiful screen and a replaceable battery with expandable SD Card slot. Awesome hardware finally!
The journey to and S5 started last year. I've heard the rumors, seen the Keynote, and wanted one from the very begging.It took me almost half a year to get to it. I had the money but my old phone did the job,never thought my old nexus would hold me back:(. So 2 months a go i managed to buy my S5 from an online retailer.
Overall aspect: Think looking, easy to hold, just the write size for my pocket and the screen blows you out of the water, i mean even when it's the darkest it's still bright.
Camera, works and it's fast if you have the write amount of light you can get some awesome pics. Night time not so much but decent for a phone.
Display, when it's the dimmest it's still enough to beat the glare of the sun shining on it, and when you turn it up the colors just pop out.
Hardware: So it's not the latest processor as of the S6 but i can give it a run for the money. No game or app on the market can keep up with it and multitasking is as easy as it can be. the fact that is water and dust proof, fingertip scanner, and counts my steps, all nice added features.
Battery: 2 days morning to evening, all messaging apps on working primarily on wifi with a bit of 4g here and there, and a game or 2 at least once a day. what more an you want.
Why i recommend all of this. well i just like the way this phone was built and the features on it. For the price and value of it.
