I am thinking of making a switch from the Iphone to a Galaxy 5. What are the pros and cons of this switch? Is Galaxy that much better than the Iphone 5s?
TIA

Don't get a galaxy. Either get the htc one m8 or wait a few weeks for the LG G3.

I have the S5. Feels cheap, and S Health blows. Get a different phone.

Isn't the Galaxy s5 premium or "f" coming out next month?

it's not better than the iPhone 5S.

I got the S5 about two months ago and at first I hated it. It became non functional while on vacation and needed a "hard reset". Since then it has been better but I still dont like how you have to answer calls with sweeping the green phone icon, sometimes it doesnt work and I cant answer the call. Another thing is the screen doesnt work sometimes when online, I tap things but nothing happens. Also there are ads that I cant get off the screen. I tried to remove but they wont go in the trash, amazon, s health, galaxy essentials etc..
The camera is pretty hard to beat.

Pros. Very nice screen, bigger screen, better battery life (depending on usage). Fantastic camera, possibly better than the 5S depending on what you like in a camera.
Cons: plastic and feels cheap. Freaking TouchWiz UI is laggy as hell, lots of garbage bloatware from the carrier and samsung. Bunch of stuff that only "kinda" works like the fingerprint scanner and air gestures.
My verdict: don't get it if you have an iphone 5S. If you really want something else just wait for the LG G3, get the HTC One M8 or wait for the iPhone 6.

for once be the guy who listened when people say dont get the gs5

wow lots of hate for the gs5. I must be in the minority and really like mine since I've upgraded from the gs3. yea it's plastic but I found it much easier to hold than the htc m8 and it won't get scratched to hell. There's a removable battery which is a plus. Some people are complaining about lag but I haven't experienced any of that. Just go to a store and mess around with a bunch of different ones and see which one works for you.
