This the 3rd Galaxy S5 I've had. It works just fine for my limited needs (e.g. phone, text, email, Uber, Pandora, Maps, etc.) I will say it has way too much bloatware. Samsung should use its market power to produce a simple phone that does not have a bunch of useless apps that are dictated by the wireless carrier and consume a lot of memory and download GB to update.

Overall a good phone but the biggest disappointment has been the speaker phone feature, which does not function very well. I don't like holding the phone to my head when talking (to avoid radiation to my brain) so I always use speakerphone, and I also use speaker phone when I drive. The other caller can barely hear me unless my mouth is right next to the phone. Previously, on my Galaxy S3, I had no issues with the other caller hearing me, with the phone 6-8 inches away. For this reason, there is a good chance I will switch back to the S3. Not sure if this problem is specific to my particular phone, or specific to this model.

Yes, this is brand new, but the battery already stinks. good features, but not great like I expected with an "expensive cell phone." I've always had the cheapie $30-$40 phones, usually the ones my husband upgraded from, so I expected amazing features. And this phone hasn't delivered. I'm learning it though, and finding ways to make it work. Very disappointed with the battery life though. If I USE it during the day, the battery doesn't even last a day.

I have wanted an s5 for 4 years, but I pay cash for my phones and cannot pay what they were costing until recently. The price is now in my range. Overall it's a great machine. I only have two issues with it, and one of those may be fixable. The first is battery life. I have to plug it in by lunch time to keep it viable throughout the day. I'm playing with various tweaks to help that. The jury is still out. The second, likely fixable, is I cannot email sound files from it. It says it's emailing them but they arrive sans-attachment. Other than those two issues, it's a wonderful phone.

Phone is a good value. One of the reasons I purchased it was for the camera, and I wasn't disappointed. It has a solid feel and a sharp display screen. Memory is small so I put pictures etc. On My Drive. The battery did not last as long as some reviews, so purchased another one and get about 20 hrs. on a charge. I did cycle the new battery 5 times, charged to 100%, ran down to 0. It was a good purchase!
