Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900A Cellphone, 16GB, Blue

The most important 1st comment any reviewer can make is who is supplying your part to Amazon! Without this info 1st all else is irrelevant as Amazon continually changes suppliers, sometimes daily. I for one tend to ignore reviews without this info. Please don't bother providing a review without this very important info 1st.As for our Unlocked Galaxy S5 purchase, it was supplied by “BlutekUSA.” After reading so many reviews of people getting locked phones, used phones, refurb phones & other network incompatibilities by other or unknown suppliers, etc... We decided to email BlutekUSA directly asking them who unlocks the phone, is it new, never used, never activated or refurb? Does it have 3G & 4G & (LTE) on ALL the OTHER GSM networks? And no restocking fee if this phone is returned for not meeting above claims. They replied in writing within 36 hrs. Their Unlocked S5 is NEW, not a used or refurb and it is supplied by a professional unlocking supplier in brand new original sealed packaging! Not a scratch one! No restocking return fee if it is not as advertised. All we needed was the precise APN settings from our GSM phone carrier and we did indeed receive 3G, 4G & LTE as the different towers did support in different areas. Our carrier is Consumer Cellular. All other advertised claims were true! We couldn't be more pleased with BlutekUSA and they get 5 stars! Ordered on Tues, received it that Friday with standard free shipping! I won't go into a lot of other details that are already provided by many other website technical reviews. Just have these few added comments below:Very important PRO's for me were:REMOVABLE BATTERY! - *Please pay attention manufacturer's!SHC/SD XC/SD Card slot to 128 GB - * Please pay attention manufacturer's!Water resistant.*APPs that can be turned off that insist on sharing all your info with AT&T, Samsung, Google & the Cloud! Some of us don't have multiple computers or enough data service to support these features.Not having an overly huge screen! -* Please pay attention manufacturer's (5.1” is almost too big)!Best Music player I have ever seen! Album art not jumbled here and there + it has folder view!!!!Fantastic camera & video (better than my own stand alone's). So customizable!Lookout anti-malware.More customizable settings on everything of any phone I've ever seen.Had over 9.8 GB free on the internal memory.Has a document file cabinet.Stand alone APPs that don't require the internet to work! - *Please pay attention APP developers!Some very minor disappointments:Just doing inputs, settings, data loads, contacts etc.... Battery went down to 46% in 3 hrs.Music speaker sound quality could use just a little improvement.Peel Smart remote control APP didn't work on our 2012 LG 3D Smart TV or Satellite.Don't know how to reverse an APP that I “Forced Stop” How to undo a Forced Stop?Couldn't get the 32GB version that I preferred. Good thing I'M not an APP-O-Holic & have a sd card!NUETRAL - 388 Total phone system APP's, about 45 are screen icons.This is really a great phone overall and supplied by BlutekUSA, a better supplier @ roughly $340 for 16GB version. The cell phone was tested for tower signal strength side by side with a Moto G EXT. Signal strength was very close, maybe just a bar less on the S5 at times. The phone feels & looks well constructed (& I'm very picky). Don't think you can really go wrong with this phone unless you do prefer the cheaper sealed battery yearly throw away type phones with no SD ext memory slots? Otherwise your search should be over!

Well I bought two of these phones from a seller called BlueTekUSA but they were Fulfilled by Amazon. One of them has been awful since it arrived. When it was first turned on my wife told me she thinks someone had the phone before but never made a thing of it. After that the phone started lagging and she doesn't do much with it. she tried deleting apps and all sorts of stuff but that never helped. Shortly after the overheating and freezing started. Then the lagging go worst. Now only but maybe four days ago the cover for the charging port just fell of for no apparent reason. She was sitting there and noticed it needed charging and when opening the cover it fell in her lap though! As if that wasn't enough two days after that the screen has now gone completely black and is not responsive to any touch. Ridiculous! Customer Service was awesome though it wasn't their fault. When I thought the nightmare was over as they resolved it by allowing me to return that phone, we now find out two days later that the other one we purchased from BlueTekUSA can't read memory cards. I purchased two new memory cards for a new phone we ordered which was the same Samsung Galaxy s5 as we like the phone and have concluded that the seller BlueTekUSA is very sketchy and unscrupulous. I put the card in the other phone we bought from BlueTekUSA and the phone would not recognize it. I tried restarting the phone, insert the card again. My laptop recognizes it. I tried two other phones that recognized it. I tried formatting the sd card that didn't work either. I was so taken grief stricken as we paid almost $700 dollars for both these phones. When it really struck me that this seller was possibly up to no good was when I looked at the back of both phones where that sd card slots are and realized that the phone that doesn't recognize the sd card had a funny looking sd card slot. It had no serial number but the other faulty phone with the screen gone has and that phone recognized that sd card (I checked that on my PC using Samsung Kies 3). It seemed as if both phones were sold before and returned for similar issues and this seller sold them as new. #Frustrating #Hurtful #Annoying. When this thought occurred I went into retrospect and remembered that when we were buying the phones initially we had seem a review from someone saying this seller is sending out phones as new that were already used and had issues but we weren't sure because the review had seemed like it was more about the product and we weren't 100% sure it was that seller BlueTekUSA. Well much to our surprise (my wife and I) we found out the hard way.
