I upgraded from a galaxy s3 and switched over from Verizon.
I loved my s3, the only problem I had was the phones only last about a year before they become a hassle to use from wear and tear or something.
When I first received my s5 it it was working fine but when I did the software update the phone went haywire and would turn on and off on it's own. I read a lot different forums and tinkered with the phone to find out it was because I was using my s3's sd card and it wasn't formatted for the s5 or something so I transfered all my important files to my computer and then formatted it and now my the phone works just as how it should be. Plus, I was able to transfer all the music, photos, and contacts back onto the sd card without a problem.
I went with the sport edition because it is more durable than the orignial s5. I dislike the color options (Blue, or red) and the fact this version isn't too popular yet so there aren't too many accessories. However it definitely feels a lot better in your hand compared to the regular version. The rubber backplate makes the phone feel very secure unlike the problems with AT&T's active version. The button on the active version is pointless due to the amount of customization you can do on the phone itself.
It's stupid how most of the new technology is designed for active lifestyles. I mostly longboard and hike so I have to use the cycling mode for when I longboard but they do have a hiking mode which is nice. Even though I don't like how they went with the active lifestyle niche the quality of their S Health application is very nice. It might motivate me to exercise more.
I mainly went with the s5 for two main reasons: waterproof and the camera.
Of course I had to try and see if it was water proof. As soon I got the phone I dunked it in a cup of water and it worked fine. I only realized after that my phones back plate was not completely secure but it still worked!!!!! The problem with this is it only works with freshwater. The guy at the store told me it doesn't work with saltwater because it will decay the protective liner. I didn't plan on swimming with my phone but it would be nice to know it would be safe from the ocean. At least I don't have to worry about the rain destroying my phone again.
The camera and video recording is really nice with all the different modes and the HDR and selective focus options. The camera is horrible in low light and works best with natural lighting.
Like I mentioned before I love the customization you can do in the phone itself. Even though Google is very invasive I don't mind it and it makes my life easier and my phone seem very high tech.
I rated it 4 stars because it could definitely be better. However, I think it is the best phone on the market so far so I am happy with my purchase.

Great phone but, Hard to find a case for the "Galaxy S5 Sport" model. Be careful not to order a Galaxy S5 case...it will not fit.
Check Amazon cell phone cases for Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 5 Sport
By Carolyn Jacob
I upgraded to this model on my account with Sprint in Sept 2014. I was fascinated by this sleek beauty, but got angry same day that Sprint didn't have any cell phone cases for this Sport model. I think the only one they had in store was the 1 piece black case that snaps on it for $30, and this other gel type one that costed more. I checked their website and still nothing. I couldn't believe it. While in my "test drive" mode for this new upgrade I checked on Amazon......tadaaahhh!!! and they saved me from taking this model back. I have six different cases now, some of them are the exact same but different colors. I see today there are more retailers advertising their nice cases for Samsung Galaxy S 5 Sport phone. These are very good quality, some leather, most between $5- $10.

Excellent phone with great features
By Supplement Fan 541
Excellent phone with great features. The Sport edition has some great benefits, especially if you're concerned about your thumbprint scan spreading throughout the internet, as it does not have the thumbprint scanning security feature. It has physical buttons to be more water resistant.
Four Stars

Like that the tabs at the bottom are buttons and not just virtual.
S5 Sport is great
By travis coker
Got this for my gf, she loves it. Great phone. Only issue is currently there are no cases for it out in the market. Be super careful to not damage it, or pay the extra $$ for the insurance.
Best phone I've ever had.
By velvet serpent
I love this phone!! The screen is beautiful. The apps work together. The OS is stable, and it does everything that i want. So much more reliable than my iphone 4s!!. The camera takes great pictures, and the phone has no issues with sending them. It was simple yo order it from Amazon. No lame lines and waiting. The phone was way cheaper than anywhere else. AMAZON got this to me in two days, it was even a Sunday. Once i had the phone, I just had to go to my sprint account online to change phones. With that done, and the phone charged all it activated very easily. Very happy with this purchase. We upgraded all of our other phones through Amazon after that!! Great deals, saved time, and no hassel activation.
