Bought Galaxy S5 for about 3 months by now. Wanted to opt out of Samsung but found myself with it again.
Pros:
-Best battery lifetime I had for a smart phone ever. Gives me around 16 hours of heavy use. Music, browsing, wifi and high accuracy GPS mode always on.
-Built is by far better than S3 and S4 and feels good in hand. Yes it is plastic but of premium kind.
-Super fast. Prompt response. Zero hangs since I bought.
-Phase detection camera feature is a little bit hard to get used to. But once you master it. It will give you best pics ever looks like taken from a DSLR camera rather than a smart phone. Use phase detection feature only in daylight for best results. Can't praise it enough.
-Built in IR Remote control works like magic. Use it with TV, satalite and setup top box, AC and DvD players, home theatre.
-although I dont use this much. Heartbeat sensor works. Pedometer also is a nice feature helps you monitor walking/running activities and record history and even encourages you to do more.
-Many free premium subscriptions to paid apps worth of around couple hundreds of $. Linkedin premium, Bloomberg+, Wall Street journal premium, lark and some other useful stuff. For periods from 3 month up to a year.
- very fast charging/data transmission using USB 3 cable, but you can still use normal mini USB same like S3 and S4
- dedicated task switcher button. It has normal menu button hidden in it by long pressing (took me a challenge to know that)
-very effective ultra power saving mode gives you option of extending battery for almost 12 hours using only around 10% of charge with limited functions.
Cons:
- Loud speaker is mono? It is good when you put something behind it to amplify sound. But could be better.
- USB 3 cable is not included in retail package. You buy it if you want it.

I am a regular user of Samsung smart phones, since V long, recently i have seen that all Samsung smart phones hang, have used Galaxy S, SII, S3, S 3 Deos new. Grand 2 deos & S4 The problem of software hang is too bad & irritating. Want to buy S5 but am thinking of changing the brand to SONY or HTC, any suggestions?

I don't want to live on this planet anymore. RIP 1080p, RIP cortex a15, RIP DDR3 RAM, RIP 13 MP camera, RIP better update schedule.
You really don't know anything and shouldn't get a smartphone.
I use an s4 for more than 1 year and no problems. I used note 2 before and even the screen is enough to upgrade from note 2 to s4.
