Some of my thoughts and other things on the Samsung Galaxy S5

Yes, the S5 is here. Like the years and flagships from them before there were more than a few rumors going on about this device. For the most part they were close, but a few were way off base. Although the phone has some nice new features. Most have had a 1000 videos done on them. (a few by me even, but by request) So I thought I would blog about a few things that I haven't seen to much or none at all on them.

So first off when making a call to someone, if you have texted with them and or called, while on the present call it will show the last contact you had with that person. This is a nice little feature, like with the call I made today to my friend Carla. It showed the last text message and the last call. When they were made, a brief bit of the text and the call duration.

Then if you close out and go to the homescreen there will be a small photo of the contact in the upper left hand corner with the time count at the bottom of it.


Now for the case I have chosen for the device, I am using the Mercury Goospery case. This is the same case I used on my Galaxy S4. I love the color and the fit is second to none. The cutouts fit well and accsess to the buttons and charging port are easily gotten to. The one change in this case from the S4 is they desided to leave the cutout for the strap out of it this time. (Thank the maker for that one)

I have had the phone now for a week and keep finding new things and improved things I plan on posting more on it as time permits. I am busy at work and when there are multible new phones launched in the same time frame, I get very, very busy.My next blog I plan on touching in on the new HTC One (M8) and the bugs in the Verizon Galaxy S5. I am hoping to hear more about fixes for both devices. I will also be dropping a review on some holsters I ordered and the result of that order.

So for now I say later gator, the Duck is out.
