Samsung Galaxy S5 G900V Verizon 4G LTE Smartphone w/ 16MP Camera - Black - Verizon

A stellar phone compared to many out there on the market. It is slightly bigger than the S4, but not much difference. It is incredibly fast, very light and has removable battery and storage (for music, movies, etc.); I had a 64gb Samsung micro SD card installed with plenty of movies.The battery is great depending on what your doing and how your settings are on the phone. It can last anywhere between a whole day to two days; again, this all depends on your usage and settings. If you want, you can always buy an additional battery and just switch it out; that's one of the biggest pro's of having this phone. It also charges extremely fast with the new charging cable.The screen is amazing and crystal clear; by default comes saturated with bright colors that pop out at you; very nice. I have an iPhone 6 and you can tell the difference between the screens. If the color is too saturated for you, there are settings under the display menu that can tone it down a little or even change it to the natural color tone. The speaker is pretty good, doesn't get too loud, but its probably cause it sits on the back of the phone :(. Calls are clear and never had a problem from both ends. I would say the phone is more water resistant than waterproof. There is confusion with many consumers complaining that their phones broke cause they went swimming with it; I wouldn't recommend that. However, I've seen a friend of mine run it down the kitchen sink and drop it into the toilet on accident and nothing happened to it. So I guess it varies from person to person. Other than that, if your looking for a phone that will do almost everything with no restrictions, then this is it.

Just the best phone ever... period the end. It lives up to the hype. All kinks worked out either by Samsung or verizon. The 5.0 update has been fixed because Verizon waits to release them after they see how it works on other providers and doesn't update until after they are fixed.The many features have been seamless so far. The battery life is very good but it almost doesn't matter because a twenty minute charge gets you up to 60 to 70 % charge that lasts the rest of any day. A ten minute charge can get you back to 30% from 10%. The 30% charge lasts for hours.TheRe are features I didn't think I would use like hover to enlarge pictures. I use it all the time.Turning on "OK Google" to respond without touching a button let's you make calls search the internet and more without picking up the phone... and so on.I think it's better than the s6 because it has a replaceable battery (although after market batteries don't charge as fast as the Samsung battery ) and you can add 128gb of SD card memory!The video camera and still camera have been well documented. But the panorama, dual camera mode, low light settings, and much more are amazing. There isn't a need for other apps to do the different things like HDR and fast burst. The slow mo is great and the ability to take still pictures while recording video without stopping is actually kind of brilliant. There is much more but I'll stop here. I completely see why people who have this s5 aren't upgrading. Too good is hard to improve on.

This phone was a replacement for my husband's Galaxy S4 when the charging port broke. With prime, we got it next day and simply switched out the sim card with no major problems. I will give a small piece of advice for anyone who purchases this unlocked device to use with Straight Talk since this wasn't the first time I have used a non straight talk phone with the carrier. In order to get the phone to work completely (our internet wouldn't work outside of wifi at first), I had to change the settings a bit. You are looking to change the APN (Access Point Names) in settings->mobile networks section. If you have a straight talk phone already, you should be able to change the settings to match your old phone. If you are not tech savvy, look for a tutorial on youtube for guidance. Also, when we switched the sim car with all his contacts, it wouldn't call out to certain numbers. I played around with it a bit and figured out that it was because he didn't have a 1 in front of the numbers, Once he added that to all his contacts, the phone was fully operational.I would say this phone has some good upgrades from the S4 and some things that should have stayed the same, but those could just be preferences of my husband who isn't a fan of change or learning something new and a bit more complicated. For anyone who understands a little about mobile networks and unlocked phones, this is a great deal.
