I've had this phone about six months, upgraded from a galaxy s3. Larger screen, faster processor, better camera, & much better battery life. The touchscreen is very accurate as well & dosent experience any lag while watching videos or switching through apps.

Best phone around!

This phone is much better than the Iphone 5s and should be on par with the Iphone 6. I have tested the water feature in 8 ft of water for 30 minutes and have experienced no issues at all. The camera is ideal and Ultra Power saver preserves Battery for days. The processor is VERY fast. After testing speeds on a 130 mbps Wireless system, was able to peak the phone speeds up to 78 mbps (normally maxes out at 50) Phone is 5g capable and should be a legit contender to the Galaxy Note 4 release in the fall. The ONLY drawback to the phone is the removal of the menu button. Would recommend this phone to anyone. Happy shopping!

This is a great phone. Big screeen and perfect for movies o see photos but have many inconvenients. The camera is great outside but interior photos are so bad. I need take 5 photos to make one decent. I dont understeand how 16megapixels camera is insuficient to take a decent photo with poor lights embiroments. Is not better a 8 or 12 megapixel camera with a better sensor?

Nice phone

This is a very nice phone, especially if you are a person that likes a lot of tweats and settings. I only have ONE complaint, but this is a VERY IMPORTANT ISSUE in my opinion, afterall, a phone should do the most important function well, this phone does not have near the call quality and clarity of the most smartphones. I guess you will get used to it, but the call quality is lacking clarity and crispness, calls sound slightly muffled. Best likes of all is the awesome screen, and no lag at all for me! This phone is FAST. The camera is great outside, but indoor pictures are terrible and worse, the camera has a bad shutter lag when using indoors which causes you to miss important shots, this is a complaint of all Galaxy series phones. Build quality is ok with me, but the charge port is somewhat difficult to open. Battery life for me is good, I am an average user.
Overall, a nice phone

I went from a iphone 5 to the galaxy s5 and im in love the screen is much bigger than the iphone of course. More free apps, it have a heart rate monitor which seem pretty accurate I work at a hospital so I tested the two together, It have notification light, you can talk to the phone and it will type your text message for you I had the galaxy s4 everything that was on that model went to the s5 I see a few extra things added but not much.
