Galaxy s5 is a great phone. I had the s4 which was good but had to much features that was useless. The s5 camara is better as is the battery, the screen is hd and very vivid. The heart rate monitor works well and also the pedometer. Overall the s health feature is great. Also knowing that it is waterproof is peace of mind. I know there are other good android phones out there that is probably on par with this phone, but this will not take a backseat to any of those. I bought the copper gold version with a clear protective cover to show of the gold color, I get lots of good commets and i'm very happy with it.
