I have a Galaxy S5 and love my phone and its many features. I think you made a great choice.

(I’ve never been tempted by that micro screen Jobs foisted on all of us, but then I’m a big man with thumbs for fingers compared to most.)

Meanwhile, I love to read on this (by now) medium sized screen, with true colors (instead of Samsung’s faux colors).
And access the web. And occasionally talk or stream music or talk radio.

I bought it for the Zeiss lensed camera. I hope the next incarnation is perfect – that is, FAST!

I’ve never owned an MS product before – but the “third man” out in the great telecom wars is the best for non-special use needs, I think – or at least camera first use. It’s simpler, easier to use and customize, and more graphically appealing.

However, your angst stems not from Samsung, but from Google. The functional difference is in the user interface, which changed from Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich to Android 4.4 Kitkat. The interface should be intuitive, with inherited design and behaviors, but there are some notable differences and experiences will vary. Especially when there is an expansion of features, which feels overwhelming if approached all at once.

I’ve been using a Nokia Windows 8 phone for a few years and a 7 before that. Everyone else in my family just upgraded from iPhone 4 to 6. I work in IT and while I can use the iPhone I find it much more complicated than my Nokia.

Actually, I don’t agree. I think the S5 is already much better than the S3, having had them both.

I do plan to watch some YouTube tutorials, but haven’t had the time to do it yet.

Galaxy S5 is quit literally the worse offering of the Galaxy S series phone. Hopefully they’ll get their act together for S6.

In terms of switching between iPhone and Android, they’re different environment. I have an iPhone from work that I put as little effort into customizing it as possible and my own Android phone that’s rooted to run what I feel like. Yes, some of us like to tinker.

There were some very specific advantages that an android has for me over an iPhone. The guy who sold it to me had no particular reason to push it over an iPhone, because he sells both and they were exactly the same price, but I told him the main uses and needs I have for my phone and he said the android would meet my particular needs better.
