Upgraded from an S3 to an S5 Active. The guy at the ATT store (can you believe this) was not able to tell me the difference between a regular S5 and an S5 Active. I got the Active, at least already knowing it was more water and shock resistant than the regular S5 (from reading reviews beforehand).

What I did not know is that there is an extra button called the Active button. I've no interest in all the Active bloatware Samsung offers and was glad to find out the button is totally programmable (it now launches the LED light with a short press and the camera with a long press).

The one real problem I've found so far, no, two problems, are 1) the camera lens sticks beyond the edge guard, so if you lay it face down, you risk scratching (this is fixed by ordering a case) and 2) there seems to be no wireless Qi chargers for it. I even spoke with Samsung, who said they are hoping to release one by the 2014 holidays. There is a strong argument for using a wireless charger with this phone, because one of the ways it is so waterproof is its microUSB slot cover, which is kind of annoying to have to unhinge it every time you want to charge. Not to mention wear and tear.meizu m1 review

Also because of it being waterproof (which I haven't tested, and don't plan to) they used physical Home, Back and Menu buttons instead of on-screen buttons (those would be kind of hard to push under water I suppose). I'm digging the physical buttons.

Every thing else, like wifi and bluetooth connectivity are superb. The display is gorgeous. The photos and movies, the best I've gotten from a smart phone yet.

If ATT had carried the Sony Xperia Z2, I might have gone with that (just from what I've read in the reviews), but they didn't, so I got the S5 Active, and I'm cool with that!

Besides cosmetically, their are only 2 differences between the S5 and the S5 Active. If you decide to go with the Active, you lose the USB 3.0 and get downgraded to a 2.0 and you also lose the fingerprint reader. For me, I did not care for either one of those although the fingerprint reader would have been helpful. This phone packs 2gb of RAM, a 16MP camera, a Super AMOLED display, waterproof up to 3ft, completely dirt, dust and sand proof, and drop proof up to 4 feet. The cosmetics of this phone I find very attractive. It runs Andriod Kit-Kat so its damn near completely customizable. I have only had this phone for coming on 2 weeks and I can surely say this is the best phone I've ever owned. I love everything about it and it just blows my expectations out of the water.

If you don't care about losing the fingerprint reader and don't mind the 2.0 USB Port, get this. You will love it!
