Pros and Cons?

[kristenelaine1991]

My fiance just ordered this phone. He has had a galaxy s3 forever and finally decided it's time for a new phone because his s3 crapped out. He recieves it this coming tuesday. So, i'm curious if everyone has any pros and cons. I'm a little more picky on my phones so I wanna make sure I love the phone I get.

It depends on which of the 42 Galaxy S5 models he's getting. See, 42 Galaxy S5 models - Dummies Guide. The guide should give you some basic insights.

Good move. The s5 is a huge improvement over the s3. I just did the same upgrade a month ago and wish I had done it sooner.

Cons: Probably got an AT&T or Verizon model which is loaded up with crapware.

Cons: Speakerphone is horrible (to the point of being practically unusable).
Touchscreen calibration seems to come & go at random.

Pro: Good mobile PC I guess. I mostly use it to check business emails.

My S5 Galaxy is the first "smart" phone I have ever had, so don't know how it stands up to other models. As a PHONE though, it leaves a lot to be desired. My old flip-phones had 1000% better voice quality.
