Whoever signed off on the proud (stick-out) power and volume buttons should be examined. They are the two dumbest features. It is so easy to turn off as you pull the phone from your pocket - only to cut the call. And when using the phone it's so easy to unintentionally bring the ring volume right down.

                      The phone heats up, battery life is pathetic , not worth at all, its basically use less, use your money to buy a better phone, I am stuck with this crap and I have paid 33k, just a month old.
                      Really not happy with this Samsung S5. pls dump this if u are planning to buy ... PLEASE DO NOT BUY IT

                            So i've got phone (From Vodafone), and the charge on it is wonderful! I Once left it for 20 minutes charge it went up around 28%! And if i were to leave it on standby from 28% it would last hours and maybe even a day! Don't forget about the ultra power saving mode!
                            My phone right now is on 66% and i turned on ULTRA power saver and now it will last around 8.2 days! Even when using the basic Calling/txting!

                            Trust me, the charge/battery on this phone is great!

                                    Brad666, 23 Feb 2015i own S5, can anyone share their lollipop experience?I would like to share my experiences with Android 5.0 lollipop. The update came a week ago, very big one - more than 900 mb. My phone was much better before with kiitkat. Everything is lagier, especially logs, contacts and gallery. Some visual changes are for the worse imo. Contacts are now only white with very small round pictures. Gallery also looks rather poor. No mute option... Even calls are not the quality they used to be. Web browsing more less the same.
                                    Conclusion - the overall performance of my Galaxys5 is noticeably worse, as before it was working very, very well.
