Nothing at all wrong with this phone.
By RIPBROTHER on Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2016
I've seen a lot of negative reviews on this phone; a lot of complaints. I've not had any problem at all with it, nor have any complaints about it. IVe had it for 2 wks. It's got great reception and is a very fast phone. However, this could always have something to do with your service and area you live in that determines how well that is. Has nothing to do with the actual phone. It has awesome camera quality! It has a lot of ringtones. It has several wallpapers. Short time to fully charge! Slow to lose full charge unlike the iphone I had. With this phone, you can download free music unlike the iPhone I had that went through itunes, which I never used anyway because you have to pay for music. But android phones such as this one probably all come with the option of downloading music for free through Google Play. This phone has already been dropped a few times and no breakage. It even has a different kind of sound if and when it drops; a more thump sound-sturdier unlike the iPhone which is glass and far more fragile. This phone is also very light-weight. My son's phone-like this one, he accidentally dropped out of his second-story window. It didn't break at all. He also accidentally left it in the freezer overnight. Lol It worked fine the next day. This phone also shows a list of all available wifi connections nearby unlike the iPhone I had. This one picks up on wifi nearby all the time which my iphone didn't. Even without the use of wifi uee, the 4G on it works great. It already comes with a screen protector, which was failed to be mentioned in the description. However, I'd bought one anyway not knowing it already came with one. So I'm also using that one. So it can fit two screen protectors if you want. Not necessary of course. But I certainly don't mind. Makes me feel like the phone's screen is even more securely protected. This phone is said to be waterproof. However, I have no use to purposely test that out. Lol I've heard the blood pressure feature doesn't work nor the fingerprint lock screen. I haven't tested either of those out either. Even IF they don't work properly, I still think this is an amazing phone. Besides, those two features aren't really necessary; nice to have I guess. Shouldn't determine how good the phone is overall. I don't regret for a minute buying this phone. I love it!

This phone has possibly ruined my life.
By Leilani on Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2015
I specifically bought this version of the galaxy (rather than the newer s6) because it claimed to be waterproof. It wasn't. Accidentally dropped it into some water (with all of the ports sealed and the back case on), and now it is dead. I tried to dry it out, but it is still dead. Of course the warranty doesn't cover water damage... even though they market the phone as being protected against just this scenario. I was a loyal Samsung customer, but this is absolutely the last Samsung I will ever buy. I have also become THAT person who rails against Samsung at every opportunity. I will probably get some tee shirts made at the local airbrushing place at the mall with "Samsung Lies" printed across them, with a sad, dead, phone, slowly leaking water in the background. I will insist that all members of my family wear these shirts whenever they are in public. The kids will probably be happy with this arrangement, since they wanted iPhones anyway. Maybe I'll hang a bedsheet with "Don't believe Samsung!" hastily scrawled on it with dripping shoe polish from my balcony. I'll lose all of my remaining friends (I have no idea how many friends I have left since my calls and texts have gone unanswered for days now), and have to resort to writing craigslist ads for new friends and a new phone, and then I'll probably get murdered. All because I bought this stupid phone. Thanks, Samsung. Thanks for ruining my life. BTW, when it worked (for a month, before it's "waterproofing" didn't do it's job) the phone was fine. Like the S4, but faster. And with fingerprints. And a heart rate monitor. The screen was pretty, with a warmer tone than the S4. I wasn't a fan of the 'recents' button instead of a menu button, but I probably would have gotten used to it if I had the chance. I'm not afraid to try new buttons. The sound would get a bit buzzy if you listened to headphones with the big charger plugged in, but that was okay too.
