This product has poor sound quality on phone and speaker it reacts poorly to rain

This phone is on par with the competition and for internet use exceeds the competition. I have been unable to find a smart phone that works good as a basic phone. The speaker phones are terrible and people are always saying they can't here me properly. The biggest annoyance is that when you get a message on lock screen or phone call and view them it still shows that you have not checked them and requires a second effort to go into messaging and phone to show that you know longer have a message.
If you need a phone for business use or need it to not go crazy when the screen gets a water spot (rain- trying to answer the phone after doing dishes or showering) better skip this phone and go to the S6 active. The S6 works when it gets a water spot on it but does still have the annoying problem of pocket dialing people like the S5 if the screen is facing your body. So my best advice is make sure you put your Samsung phones in you pocket screen facing out. The advantage of the S5 over the S6 is you can remove the battery and charge it so when your battery no longer charges, generally when the charging port fails (common) you can buy an external charger and battery.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, removable rechargable battery
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

An Amazing Phone
on July 10, 2015

I really like this phone. My first phone I actually ever got by myself. I like the features on the phone, such as the heartbeat sensor and even the fingerprint scanner. It really is amazing, the design of the phone is sleek. It can fit in tight spaces because it is rather thin. Not to mention how light it is aswell, which is surprisingly light. The camera on the phone is really good to, the pictures I have taken look like they're from a high end camera. Also the sound quality, not bad at all. Of course it really depends on the music quality aswell. I think it needs a little bit more battery life. I mean it's not terrible but it can use more. Now that a lot of people spend time on their phone, phones need to have a long battery life but like I said its not bad at all it is decent. So all in all this phone is great. I honestly would recommend it to anyone
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: battery life is a little low
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love how it fits in one hand. So easy to use, whether I need to listen to music or snap a few photos. My screen and graphics are very clear and the feature are amazing. I love my Samsung. I'm an Android baby lol.

Great phone but has its hiccups

This is a great phone but I really miss my note 4 so this review is a bit biased. I traded my note 4 when I switched carriers and received the S5. The phone is packed with features and can handle most things you throw at it.
Pros: Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!
