At first I was not sure I was going to like this phone at all. Sprint told me I could activate the phone without a SIM card but all I got was glitches, they finally sent me a SIM card and it works perfectly fine now, the battery life is not much better than my iPhone worse actually but not by much. Apple made it very difficult to transfer my data over but once it was all done I think I really like this phone better than my iPhone5s. There just seems to be so much more I can do with my Galaxy than I could before. The infrared sensing allows me to control my TV , VCR and soundbar that's better than my universal remote. I don't know if it will work or not I've never tried it but I was able to order a a cord to mirror my screen on my TV so hopefully I will be able to play movies off my phone and display them on my tv, I got if for less than $15 where is a similar product for iPhone you could not get under $50 or $60. At first I was disappointed at the charging port it uses a usb3 rather than a micro USB but I found a micro USB will work just fine in it so I don't have to go out and buy special cords. It takes a long time to charge on the charger given but it charges super fast in my car for some reason. overall I really like this phone.Read full review

Good looking phone but had a lot of trouble getting it to accept a connection from Sprint. They had to wipe the phone 3 times before it would take and had previous owner junk on it. For this there is no way I can give a 5 star review! It was posted as a mint condition phone and it was not. Thank you for including the factory charger but I still can't give you a 5...it just doesn't make up for the 1.5 hours I spent with sprint trying to get it to accept a connection.

Excellent phone for the price. Easy set up through Boost Mobile. Phone looks and works as brand new. No scratches or wear. I've had it for a couple weeks now and no problem. I upgraded from an s3 to this s5 and I am very pleased with the this phone. I love taking photos and this one has a magnificent screen and 16mp. The functions are 97% the same as the s3. Instead of zooming in and out during picture taking using volume button this one you touch the screen and pinch and spread fingers in and out to do so. The settings menu is set up different but same stuff is their except developer options. You have to keep taping on the__icon about 5 times to open it in settings. There is still no rear facing flash for your selfies only front flash,but this phone brightens pictures automatically in low light which is pretty neat. Love the extra storage it comes with and extra SD card. No problem with it either. I've had some that kept erasing my apps. Nice bigger screen. Very clear. More hd/pixels. The pages give you an extra row to put app icons on. It also has an extra port on the bottom for a speed charger you buy separately. I have not bought this as I just use an app (fast charger) that works great and as long as you use some tips you won't waste your battery like turn off your location, turn down your brightness, power save mode on. I also use 360 security. I always hit boost button before I put my phone down. It shuts down all apps running. The best I found out of many I've tried. Don't use a bunch of widgets. Move your games to your SD card and other high mb apps (Facebook, messenger) biggest thing is to clear your cache every couple days to keep phone running fast under settings storage if your a big phone user. The only thing I don't like and I see why many are broke is the port charger cover is just connected by a thread and so easy to be broken off. But, that is only a minor thing. Oh yes this also doesn't come with the notification option for contacts either like the s3, but you can download an app like (sms) to add that. Overall I love it so far. Thanks for a great phone. I would definitely recommend this phone. =)Read full review

Smaller than the s7(5.1-5.7) screen size but just as powerful and smooth. If you don't want to carry around a phablet then this is the phone for you. I read all the reviews on the phones and I settled on the Galaxy S5. Fits in your pocket. Plenty of storage. Takes amazing pictures and video. The Full HD Amoled screen can't be beat. And lots of features. For the this is the phone for you its a win win.

Ive only had my phone for 2 weeks, but I was asked to write a review so I will. Pros: Arrived fast....3 days? excellent condition I was very concerned there would be cracks or scratches. there were none. Phone has great features.....however this is my first smartphone so I am probably easy to impress. Cons: I had to put battery saver on, the battery even on standby only wont last more than a day I estimate,whereas my last phone maybe lasted 5? but it was a flip phone. I also find android sort of a pain, you cannot easily block a number. I have to write it down and manually enter it after navigating menus. So far I am happy with it and I really do not understand why someone would pay $800 for a new phone when these function very well for $100, however I have a computer with 4 screens and I use that more than my phone.Read full review
