Product ReviewsSamsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900V - 16GB - Charcoal Black (Verizon) Smartphone

Great cell phone, okay battery life.

I upgraded from the S4 to the S5 and couldn't be happier. The S5 is faster with a bigger screen and more features. The finger print reader is kind of useless but the heart rate monitor is more reliable. The phone does come with a lot of unnecessary apps which I plan on removing or disabling, hopefully with out having to root the device. The camera takes great pictures and video and the reception during calls is equally as good. My carrier is Cricket Wireless and i get plenty of 4g coverage in Los Angeles. Just be careful about getting the S5 wet, the device is water resistant but this is negated once you remove the usb slot cover which you'll most likely do if you want yo use a mophie case.Read full review...

It is Bulky Battery does not hold a charge Speaker issues!

Don't Waste your time on this phone! It does not hold a charge and I have even purchased a new battery, put it on power saver and still have to charge it every day sometimes twice a day! The charging cable and phone connection port is not typical it's as wide as a USB connection! Which I find strange considering my girlfriend has the 6 version of this phone with the standard phone charging port and cable connection. Now this is coming from a guy who dose not do anything but text and make calls! Also when you put it on speaker you can hear people just fine however they can not hear what you are saying and I have had 2 of these phones and the only reason for that is I broke the screen on the first one in a week my fault, however BOTH phones had the very same issues!Read full review...

Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900V Verizon, fair for price

The product conditions were totally new. I recommend this seller. In other hand, the bad thing of the Galaxy S5 SM-G900 Verizon, is that it has a lot of Verizon apps, which you couldn't remove unless you root your phone.

The proccesor speed is ok, but with many apps that are updating and getting heavier, it is kind of getting slow, but it totally works good.

Both cameras are regular. Not so good in low light. HD screen shows good colors.

The size of the phone is good for me, not so big not so small.

The worst part is the 2800mAh battery that lasts just of couple of hours.

For the price of $200 for this old version of the Samsung Galaxy family it worth it.Read full review...

Nice

Came in perfect condition. Works well. Big step up from an S4. Battery doesn't last long, but I keep a couple spares around and replace them as they begin to die. Bought the two extra batteries and separate stand alone charger on ebay. They work and didn't cost too much. Three batteries are usually enough to get through a day of hard use. Nice that on this phone you can still just pop off the back and make the switch. Can't figure out why phone manufacturers have all moved to hard wired batteries. Doesn't make any sense -- at least not from a consumer's point of view.Read full review...

Samsung S5

The phone is similar to the S3 and arrived in great shape with all accessories promised. One disappointment was that the phone does not come with the same default and simple to use apps and widgets that I hoped would still be there.. One has to search and download apps that now often have ads. This is annoying and time consuming. There is a different look to the camera and how it operates that also takes some getting used to. the The charger cover also does not always close resulting in warnings. Other than that, it is crisp and cool as Galaxy's generally are Read full review...

Nice phone...

Did not want to spend 800 on a new phone and this one will do just about everything that they will do for a 4th of the cost. No contract is also a plus. Can't say anything bad about the deal all around. Having fun with it! I'll probably keep it a couple of years before I feel like I need an upgrade, but the processor and screen resolution and camera's are all still competetive with the new versions of this phone. It does not have wireless charging but who cares, the battery is removable and it charges fully very fast anyway. Can be upgraded easily as well to make it as powerful as the new versions. Just get it.Read full review...

First Smartphone, great product.

Am enjoying getting to know my new smartphone. Battery dies in less than half a day, but getting a new battery, which is very inexpensive, and easy to replace. Does have LED shadow burn in, but can look past that without any problem. It can do a lot, and takes great pictures. I am very happy with this phone.Read full review...

Perfect Size

The S5 is near perfect in appearance. I purchased it to replace the one I'd used for years. That being said I expected it to have the same OS but it doesn't. I have trouble navigating because the "Helpful" hints pop up and or an app I didn't ask for appears. To me it seems to have a much higher level OS than a stock S5. So if I was looking to replace a long owned and much loved S5 I would check out the OS before purchasing. I mainly wanted an S5 so I wouldn't have to learn how to navigate an upgrade. So the only advantage I have with it is that it is the same size and fits every where my old one did.Read full review...

A few glitches but still good

I'm not sure if it is just my phone but the battery life could be better, I had a glitch with Google Chrome at first ( once figured out it was an easy fix but had to do some research), and lastly I get a message every day that there is a system update even after I just updated it. That is kind of a pain because you have to actually schedule the update to make the message go away. Aside from all of that I really like this phone. It is easy to use and has some really cool features. I had an S4 before so it was an easy transition.Read full review...

The best camera available and long battery life!

Love this phone. Simple to set up and use. Perfect size for all functions. Unbelievable camera quality an mutli functions/settings. Syncs with my outlook, dropbox, and other cloud services. The battery lasts two days! Can even run Waze for hours without the phone heating up or depleting battery (used while plugged into car charger). Read full review...
