Techies who cant decide whether to buy a Samsung S5 or an iPhone 5s have come to the right place. We're here to break down the difference of the two units and compare so you can decide which one is the best for you.
In terms of size, there is no doubt that Samsung Galaxy S5 is bigger than Apple iPhone 5s, having a physical size of 5.59 x 2.85 x 0.32 inches
against 4.87 x 2.31 x 0.30 inches, it basically depends on one's preference when it comes to this category.
Samsung Galaxy S5's display are as follows, 5.1 in, 1080 x 1920 pixels, 432 ppi, Super AMOLED, with features of Light sensor, Proximity sensor, and Scratch-resistant glass. Apple iPhone 5s' comes out with a 4 inches display, 640 x 1136 pixels, 326 ppi, IPS LCD, and also features Light sensor, Proximity sensor, and Oleophobic coating.
When it comes to the camera feature, the Galaxy s5 has 16 megapixels with Autofocus, Phase detection autofocus, Touch to focus, Manual focus, Digital image stabilization, Face detection, Exposure compensation, ISO control, White balance presets, Burst mode, Digital zoom, Geo tagging, High Dynamic Range mode (HDR), Night mode, Scenes, Effects, Self-timer, Voice activation, and features Digital image stabilization, and High Dynamic Range mode (HDR). All this while the iPhone 5s has 8 megapixels, Back-illuminated sensor (BSI), Autofocus, Touch to focus, Digital image stabilization, Face detection, Burst mode, Digital zoom, Geo tagging, High Dynamic Range mode (HDR), Panorama and features Digital image stabilization, and Picture-taking during video recording ability.
The Galaxy S5's hardware consists of a quadcore 2500 MHz, Krait 400, with a built-in storage of 32GB and a storage expansion that can accommodate microSD, microSDHC, microSDXC up to 128 GB. iPhone 5s features a dual core, 1300MHz, 64-bit, and has a built in storage of 64GB.
According to Expertreviews,
"The iPhone is a design classic, that has been honed and improved over the years that the iPhone 5s is difficult to criticise if you've only ever used iOS devices. However, anyone coming from an Android device will notice how small it is, even though it admittedly eclipses just about every Android device out there in terms of construction and materials - the Galaxy S5 included. The camera is beginning to show it's age and the Retina screen resolution, once Apple's crowning achievement, has fallen behind Android's 1080p screens.
The Galaxy S5 is incredibly quick, has better battery life, a bigger screen and better camera than the iPhone 5s. It's better connected, too, plus has the added benefit of wearable compatibility with the Gear smartwatch range. Until Apple releases the iWatch Samsung has the lead when it comes to companion accessories.
As for which is best, it still boils down to which operating system you prefer. If you've invested heavily in one OS, buying apps from the store and using specific apps you can't get on other platforms, it will be difficult to switch. Although the iPhone 5s is expected to be replaced by the iPhone 6 later this year, right now it's the best iOS smartphone available, so is still a worthy purchase. However, if you want the latest and greatest, it's undoubtedly the Samsung."
