Loving my Samsung Galaxy S5.....mind you my previous phone was the old Captivate. Even switched my wife off iPhone to the Android and she loves it.
As for a case I bought a LifeProof one for my phone as I will have it on the water and while storm chasing so greater chance of it meeting water :)
I promote Samsung so.much you'd swear I had stock (I dont).Quote:

I got the galaxy s5 for the wife, after warning her she won't like the battery life, but it's surprisingly good. Previous S series were terrible.
guess im behind the times on my galaxy, still cruising the s2 lol i get the day out of my battery, and its used for all my internet... wife has a S3 and battery life is a bit better... maybe when mine dies i will upgrade to a s3... might even splurge on a s4...
Same phone here. It seems to be handling the rough and tumble pretty well thus far. Not overly impressed with my battery life though. I can't get the whole day out of it however I do use it quite a bit. I average about 2 hours of talk in a day and use it for my calculations and such.Quote:

buy a after market battery... im assuming they still do it, they put low capacity battery in the phone, phone dies early, you buy a new phone... first thing i did was put a better battery in it... as mentioned, still using a S2...
I have the s4, love the phone! battery life not so much, I've gone from lasting the day on my battery, to lasting a few hrs. But I still over all I love the Samsung Galaxy's. Good phones!
Iphones on the other hand, I'm not a fan of. Had the battery explode in one, ruined the phone. Had another one, and didn't mind the new one, but just don't like the way apple runs. I like more freedom to customize.
I will stick with the s4 till I kill this one!
