      First time phone review, so I will try to be concise.

      Bell Canada replaced my Galaxy S5 with a Galaxy S5 NEO.

      After using the Neo for a week (GS5 was 7 months old before I broke it) these are my thoughts.

      Battery life is WORSE than the original S5 and I have less apps running/installed on the Neo.

      Also, the Neo has the regular micro USB port while the S5 had the larger port with a different charging cable. I've noticed the Neo model charges much slower.

      This thing overheats like a mofo. Screen will auto dim and camera flash will not work.

      The Neo also lacks Gorilla glass. This hasn't been an issue, however it feels like a downgrade to me.

      I would avoid this phone if possible.

                The Neo has a built in FM Receiver However, I couldn't find anywhere on the phone to use it, so I contacted Samsung. They confirmed that it has an FM receiver in the hardware, but that you can't access it, other than through internet radio. What's the point of that? Like selling a phone with a video camera in the hardware, and then telling you the great feature doesn't actually work.

                          I keep coming back for this wonderful phone. It has the right size and the right grip on your hands, it's got good water-resistant (both headphone jack and USB charging port according to Samsung) and an improved camera (from last year's S5) and a cleaner/lighter/faster Touchwhiz that i have not seen before. For its price and specs i will definitely recommend this phone to anyone.

                            Hi I have a choice of phones which is the s5 or the s5 neo and after reading all the posts there is still no clear indication which is the best and I prefer not to hear it depends what you want to use the phone for, as I want to do the most of every thing with one of the two phones and surely one of them must do just that so which is it.
