Review: Fantastic phone, probably the best offering for 2014. The white is more of a pearlescent white! - Having used the Samsung Galaxy S3, Galaxy S4, and Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 - I am familiar with the changes made to the user interface between the models. I felt the S3 has the best app menu / home screen interface because it allows me to go forwards and backwards without coming to a complete stop forcing me to go backwards. I believe the change was first made with the S4 and carried over to the S5. I noticed the S5 has a bit more bloatware from Verizon, but many of them can be easily turned off via Application Manager (such as My Magazine). I was also forced to subscribe to Verizon Basic Visual Voice Mail, which didn't work right for the first 24 hours. However, now I feel it is actually pretty good. I still haven't tried HD calling/voice yet, but it is available on the S5 with Verizon. The quad-core processor on the S5 makes the interface feel a lot faster and more fluid than my S3 for obvious reasons. AnTuTu benchmarks showed the S5 rated at 42,412 points which is very high at the time of this review. The battery life is just under 46 hours and 56 minutes with infrequent use, about the same as my S3. The screen on the S5 is larger than the S3's screen and has a higher resolution. However, the end result is that everything just looks larger and sharper. With the Tech Armor ballistic glass (which is a very thick but clear protector), the screen looks absolutely gorgeous even in bright conditions. The WiFi performance is exceptionally good - much better than my S3 or the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition. I am seeing the maximum number of WiFi bars throughout the house whereas my other devices are kind of wishy washy. The camera on the S5 is a great feature. It actually swayed over quite a few of my coworkers who have been die-hard iPhone users. The low light capability is extraordinary without the use of a flash. The HDR feature is also very cool. I'm not a newbie to videography as I have used my S3 for a variety of photography and video projects. The S5 has the ability to record video in 4K/30fps and 1080P/60 fps. I learned from using my GoPro Hero3+ Black Edition that the use of a proper Class 10 micro-SD card is the key to maximizing data bitrate for the videos. The slower microSD cards that are still Class 10 may only be capable of 45-50 MB/s, resulting in the device backing off the bitrate to under 30 Mbps for the video. There's a noticeable loss in quality on the Hero3+ Black Edition when this occurs. I picked up a PNY Class 10 that is rated for 90 MB/s, and found that my S5 records 4k/30 fps at 56 Mbps and 1080P/60 fps at 27 Mbps - which is less than the 48 Mbps I get from the GoPro Hero3+ Black Edition. However, the S5's video quality still blows the GoPro away. The S5 offers some water resistance, but the USB 3.0 port cover gets very annoying. I'm sure that over time the cover will get damaged/broken and the gasket may be damaged as well, reducing the effectiveness of the water resistance. The USB 3.0 port itself is also annoying as USB 3.0 is harder to quickly plug in versus a basic micro USB port. Overall: 5/5 stars, one of the best phones for 2014. I looked hard at the LG G3 and HTC One M8, but the S5 offered the best battery life, fastest performance, and a removeable battery. The LG G3's larger screen was also its downfall as it uses more power and it slows down the phone a bit based on all the benchmarks and reviews I have read. If you already have a S4, the S5 won't be that great of an upgrade. I had the S3 and still felt that I could have used the S3 until the S6 came out, but the Black Friday deals for the S5 were too hard to pass up! The quad-core processor makes a huge difference as well!
Review: Two little words: iPhone slayer... - This is the fourth Android phone model we've used in our household used since evolving into smart phone use six years ago. Before I begin gushing about the phone itself, some context about *any* mobile phone purchase (if you're already comfortable with the variables of mobile phones and their providers, you can skip this part): These major factors that will contribute to (or detract from) the smart phone experience of *any* user: (1) the hardware...the phone itself (2) operating system software (3) installed applications (4) the network (overall, and where you happen to be using the phone at a particular time) (5) the service provider. Serial dependencies come from these factors, as many phones are tied to specific operating systems or service providers. Just remember that even if you make a great phone choice, deficiencies in the other areas can still diminish your overall user experience. Make your move to your next (or first) smart phone only after researching these choices. Which provider? Which mobile operating system? Who offers the best service, or the best combination of value and service? The rest of this review assumes you've already figured out why a phone with the Android operating system might be a better choice for you than an iPhone, a Blackberry or a Windows-based smart phone solution (yes, Blackberry and Windows options remain alive...sort of). Every provider --including Sprint-- has a variety of pricing options. If you're a Sprint customer with two years on your current hardware and are ready to re-up: many phones are available at a deep discount from both online retailers and big box stores. I've asked Sprint if they will match those prices..and they won't. It's no big deal; you won't hurt their feelings if you buy from another source (but you might not be able to take a suddenly balky phone into a Sprint store and have it replaced at no charge, either). For this phone, desertcart's pricing was at a 90% discount vs. buying from Sprint. Be sure and negotiate with them and look for plan pricing discounts for loyatly or organizational/corporate affiliations. For the phone itself: this is an outstanding device for each of telephony, online activity, still photography and video capture. The display is crisp and brilliant, the controls (each of the three buttons on the phone's side, the home/soft keys on the front and the options within the OS) are intuitive and responsive. The touchscreen keyboard is the best onscreen text input experience I've ever had...period. Audio output (for phone calls and music --streamed via Bluetooth or via the aux connector) is excellent. Both photographs and video are easy to use. The 16 megapixel rear camera images (still and moving) are outstanding in quality. Obviously the front is a grainier at 2 megapixels. But wait there's more: the rear phone cover easily removes to reveal an easily user-replaceable battery. Shame on phones that don't offer this. You'll also find access to a slot for a microSD card adjacent to the battery. Charging and sync are via a USB 3.0 port. If you don't have any cables with this form factor, this phone ships with one, but you'll want extras so you don't have to keep tabs on a possible single point of failure. This is not a negative...bust an issue if you replacing a phone with a different cable type. Outstanding smart phone that will keep you from the clutches of the Apple tree. Select with confidence.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tips for battery drain and extending battery life
*by B***B on January 14, 2015*

This phone has been reviewed to death, so I will not bother reviewing all the small details. I did, however, notice that no reviews mention wakelocks, so I would like to take a moment to discuss those. I will also tie this into the battery and battery life. At home, my S5 has amazing battery life. I consistently get nearly 6 hrs. of screen on time with a single charge. However, at school (a large university) my battery life takes a nose dive while on wifi. A tl;dr explanation of what is happening is that the android operating system has a bug where busy wifi networks are able to wake your phone up while it is sleeping (keyword: wake locks). This means your phone cannot go into a consistent "deep sleep" after you lock your phone and it will continue to drain your battery even when you're not using it. Feel free to google it for more info, but as of now, there is no fix. A quick fix for me was to download an app called MacroDroid. I set it so that when I am connected to my university network and I lock the screen, it will automatically shut the wifi off. When I turn the screen back on, the wifi is turned on automatically. Disclaimer: I am running kitkat right now, lollipop may or may not fix this issue. Related to this is a problem my S5 seems to have when I change specific things. For example, both after installing a microSD card and syncing my text messages from my old iphone to my current phone, the phone would not go into a deep sleep. I was able to fix these issues by clearing my phones cache and clearing the cache for the associated apps. I've always been able to fix this issue, but I feel like it shouldn't be happening at all in the first place. If anyone cares to know, I will describe how to prolong your battery life below, both on a day to day basis and its lifetime overall. To extend day to day battery life: 1. I immediately turned off all gestures (apparently they can get toggled while the phone is in your pocket and use up battery?) 2. Turn off location unless I'm using it 3. Disabled all the random apps that come preloaded on the phone and you can't delete If you are having issues with your phone's battery life, try using Greenify, which will let you hibernate apps that may use up battery with one click. You can also download an app called "System Monitor" (the Lite version is free and works fine for this purpose) and you can use it to monitor the CPU speed on your S5. If, while the phone is locked, the phone is not in "deep sleep," something is wrong and it will cause your battery to die faster than it should. Note: The first time you turn on the phone and as the phone is installing all the initial updates, the battery will probably drain very fast. This is only because the phone has been off for a long time and the calibration (so to speak) will be a little off. After you charge your phone completely it should go back to a normal discharge rate. To extend the overall lifetime of your phone's battery: 1. Do not leave it in your car when it is very hot (> 80F) or very cold (<35F). It can do irreversible damage to the battery. 2. Limit the number of charge/discharge cycles. I.e. charge your phone when you have to. The best thing to do would be to only charge it once it's below about 20%, and when you do charge it, charge it all the way up. Unplugging it as soon as it reaches 100% is recommended. 3. Don't leave it at a low % charge for a long time, it's unhealthy for Li-ion batteries. There is no need to "cycle" your battery (you do that with Ni-Cad batteries). Other than that, it's a really nice phone and being samsung's "flag ship," there are a lot of available accessories for it. I am using the Spigen Slim Armor case and really like it. I also would highly recommend a tempered glass screen protector, it has a much better feel than a plastic screen protector. Lastly, I had no issue switching from an iphone 4 to this phone. It took a bit to get used to, but I was quick to realize the many new benefits. The new screen was daunting at first, but my hands are big enough to hold it, and it is a lot easier to use and see.
