I got this phone after having had mostly low end Android Samsung phones, hoping that it was a matter of the machine rather than the combination of Samsung and Android. I realized pretty soon that the phone has some pros, but mostly cons. The biggest pro is the water resistance, followed closely by its expandability from the 16MB with SD cards. The cons are the battery duration and the lags due to the OS getting slow for whatever reason... same my old S2 (bought when S4 was already out) was doing... Finally it is not even a world phone... this version of the S5 is the stripped down version of the world one, just for US market.... On a trip to Italy, I was not even able to connect to a WiFi that was set to channel 13 that is not available in the US.
Pros: Bright display, water proof, expandable
Cons: Did not meet expectations, battery life, lags in performance
