Samsung Galaxy S5 vs iPhone 5S

Samsung and the iPhone has always fought both in the trial court for patent issues, also fought in the gadget and smartphone market, but this does not inspire fierce competition both to make products with cheaper price. If you do not need fancy products, you can actually buy another brand with a high specification, even with a high resolution camera, but you can get a smartphone or gadget with affordable price.

Well, you might have other ideas so you still confused to choose the iPhone 5S or Samsung Galaxy S5. Both of these smartphones is a high-end product that is reliable both companies to compete with each other, is also prepared to fight with other products such as HTC, LG or Sony, of course in their respective classes.

Samsung Galaxy S5 is the successor to the incredibly successful Galaxy S4, but if you look carefully, the design of the Galaxy S5 is not too significant, which from the front it's similar to the Galaxy S4 and Note 3, with the only real change being the dimpled texture of the rear. However, the Samsung Galaxy S5 has a 5.1-inch Super AMOLED 1920 x 1080 screen. 

Meanwhile, the iPhone 5S only has a 4-inch screen with an 1136 x 640 pixel resolution. It is a Retina display though and is quite extraordinary in its brightness and sharpness. However, the Samsung screen has more pixels per inch than the iPhone.

You surely remember how HTC has always insinuated Samsung because all the fancy smartphone manufactured Samsung made ​​of plastic material, while HTC is definitely a premium product made ​​of metal or aluminum. Apple should be proud because the iPhone 5S is a solid device with an aluminum back and sides that feels classy in comparison. Is the design and materials of a smartphone will affect your choice?

Perhaps you would prefer technologies and features used on a gadget or smartphone. It would be nice if Samsung does not sell the Samsung Galaxy S5 and other fancy smartphone with a price too high, even though their products are made of plastic material. Looks like HTC and Apple could sell their luxury products are made ​​of aluminum at higher prices, for example HTC M8 or iPhone 5S. Do you also agree? However, you also need to look more carefully, because the cost of production of the iPhone 5S is also not too high. Perhaps because the big name Apple is a guarantee, so the fine products they sold at a higher price.

Samsung may be proud because the Galaxy S5 is the first of Samsung's handsets to feature a fingerprint sensor for security. This technology is to provide a convenience to you on the security aspect. We already know that this technology is actually first introduced by Apple. 

You can wake the Samsung G S5 with the home button, then scan, the which is only one additional step, so the Galaxy S5 is better than the HTC One Max which needs waking with a separate button then swiping down the back. The Galaxy S5 is also waterproofed.

Galaxy S5 larger screen than the iPhone 5S, so this naturally makes it a much better phone for watching videos on, especially as the Galaxy S5 screen is fantastic. In a darkened room the iPhone 5S will not look as good as the Galaxy S5 as you'll be Able to see the glow of the backlight. The screen on the Galaxy appear bright because the S5 uses OLED technology, because an OLED screen is that it doesn’t use a normal backlight and is therefore able to produce much deeper blacks, and much better contrast.

  

If we compare the speed of the processor used in both this sophisticated smartphone, it is rather difficult to distinguish them with the naked eye. Let's see, the Apple device uses the company's A7 chip with a 64-bit architecture. The latter should technically be faster, while the Samsung Galaxy S5 runs on a 2.5GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 801. Samsung Galaxy S5 also has 2GB of RAM. To compare the speed, please you buy both so that you have enough time to measure their speed.

The modern smartphones certainly have a camera, so users can take pictures together with friends or family, and even can be used for street photography. You can choose which photos you upload to social media networks. It is certain today's smartphones can also be used to make the video. Similarly, the iPhone 5S and Galaxy S5, you can create pictures easily. 

The Galaxy S5 has a 16 megapixelhas camera sensor, while the iPhone 5S's only 8 megapixels. Both are great for shooting in low light, and the iPhone 5 is faster in making images in low light conditions. Galaxy S5 is equipped with optional stabilization, also supported by an LED flash and added to the HDR feature, so you can make more creative pictures. Both devices are suitable for selfie photos.

Whatever your reasons when determining the options before you decide to buy an iPhone 5S or Samsung Galaxy S5, then you would have got the reference and specific needs. Both this smartphones which always competing is an advanced handset and can be used in a long time, although there will always be new products with different features here and there, but in the end you will only use some of the features on a regular basis. Do you agree? Unless you are a technology enthusiast, then you definitely will strive to always do an update with the latest gadgets.

IOS VS Android

What smart phone do you use now? Are you a loyal user of a BlackBerry or Android? Perhaps you are a fanatic on Apple products? Google Android and Apple's IOS view of fierce competition in the market of operating systems (OS) mobile.Google was benefited by the success of Apple's IOS. Google Asia Pacific Manager Danial Alegre states, Google pleased with the success of Apple's iPhone IOS. Alegre admitted, Google is not going to beat the iPhone.

According to Alegre, Google does not consider the iPhone as a competitor Android, instead we feel the benefits of the iPhone's success. Each time an iPhone to achieve success in the mobile phone industry, the number of people looking for information about the iPhone via the Google search engine more and more.

Indirectly, the iPhone becomes the driving Google go on to develop Android no matter who becomes the number one platform in the market. There was no winner if no opponent. As quoted by PC World, this is probably the expression is being embraced Android and Google now.

Google's Android mobile operating system reportedly has overtaken Apple's IOS operating system as the most popular globally. Similarly, recent reports of mobile advertising agency, InMobi. According to the report, iPhone OS and Android are both grown significantly and continues to take market share at the global level.However, Android growth was much better and has surpassed the IOS, which runs on the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch.

"Smartphone revolution continued in the second quarter of this year.The presence Android smartphone rapid growth in recent months due to deliver a new choice to consumers, "said James Lamberti, vice president of global marketing research & InMobi, as quoted by Cellular News (Friday, April 15, 2011).

Increased attention and penetration of the phone by advertisers, publishers, and developers have brought us to the next stage in evolution. In InMobi, mobile advertising impressions on average grew 21% in the period December 2011 to March 2011. This increase was strongly influenced by the swift current that enters smartphone market, which numbers an estimated 2.8 million units during the same period.

Mobile phone manufacturers like Samsung, Apple, and HTC continue to erode the market leader, Nokia. However, Nokia is still the king of smartphones in the top position with 40% global market share. This is the first time Nokia's market share eroded sharply in history.
Nokia lost 3.9 share points in 90 days, while Samsung earned an additional 1.6 points, Apple is about 1.9 points, and HTC roughly 2.8 points. Globally, 35% of total advertising on mobile devices appear on-screen smartphone. Here is a table of winning the mobile OS market share globally by March 2011. Chief Executive Officer Avast antivirus development company, said, Android is a platform that is "wide open" and make users more Android-based tablet than the Apple iPad threatened.

Apple IOS
IOS (known as iPhone OS prior to June 2010) is Apple's mobile operating system. Originally developed for the iPhone, it has since been extended to support other Apple devices like the iPod touch, iPad and Apple TV. Apple does not license IOS for installation on third-party hardware. On January 14, 2011, Apple App Store contains more than 300,000 applications IOS, which collectively been downloaded more than 10 billion times. In the last quarter of 2010, it has a 16% share of smartphone operating system market in terms of units sold, third behind Google's Android and Symbian.In May 2010 it accounted for 59% of mobile web consumption (excluding iPad) in North America.

The Cisco IOS user interface is based on the concept of direct manipulation, using multi-touch gesture, Interface control elements consist of sliders, switches, and buttons. Direct response to user input and provide a fluid interface. Interaction with the OS includes gestures like swipe, tap, pinch, and pinch back, everything has a specific definition in the context of the IOS operating system and its multitouch interface. Internal accelerometers are used by some applications to respond to the shaking device (one common result is the undo command) or rotating in three dimensions (one common result is a switch from portrait to landscape mode).

IOS comes from Mac OS X, which is the foundation of Darwin stock, and therefore Unix like operating system by nature. In IOS, there are four abstraction layers: the Core OS layer, the Core Services layer, the Media layer, and the Cocoa Touch layer.The operating system uses about 500 megabytes of storage devices, varies for each model.

History:
The operating system was unveiled with the iPhone at Macworld Conference & Expo on January 9, 2007, and was released in June of that year. At first Apple marketing literature, do not assign a separate name for the operating system, which states simply that the "iPhone runs OS X". At first, the third-party applications not supported. Steve Jobs believes that developers can build web applications that "would behave like native applications on iPhone".On October 17, 2007, Apple announced that the native SDK is under development and that they plan to put 'in' the hands of developers in February ". On March 6, 2008, Apple released the first beta, along with a new name for the operating system: "iPhone OS". Brisk sales of Apple's mobile devices turn on interest in September of the previous SDK, Apple has released iPod touch, the majority of non-iPhone cell phone capabilities. Apple also sold over one million iPhones during the 2007 holiday season. On January 27, 2010, Apple announced the iPad, featuring a larger screen than the iPhone and iPod touch, and is designed for web browsing, media consumption, and read iBooks.

IOS 4.2.1 was released on 22 November 2010 with support for all Apple A4 devices, 3rd, and 2nd-generation device, with the exception of Apple TV. It brings initial support for the iPad IOS 4.x, plus played and AirPrint to all compatible devices. It also contains minor changes to the YouTube application and change the animation multitasking. On the iPad, change the screen rotation lock function for the mute button, just as originally planned. Known as a major bug, this version seems to inhibit the use of the iPad Camera Connection Kit.

IOS version 4.2.5 was released as a demo for the CDMA version of iPhone 4. This variant was released for the iPhone 4 Verzon Wireless customers in the U.S. on February 10, 2011, but pre-booking is available to qualified Verizon Wireless customers on February 3. Version was released with the phone, 4.2.6, has some specific changes to the UI bit version of CDMA phones, including a switch "Personal Hotspot" in the Settings app, a service that must be activated by the carrier so that the features that will be used. This will be purchased from Verizon as a separate plan, as is currently possible on other smart phones.  IOS 4.3 beta released to developers on January 12, 2011, and the gold master on March 3, 2011.

IOS 4.3 has been released to the public on March 9, 2011, two days before the 2 iPad. In addition to previous features, the public release of IOS 4.3 include many new features such as Nitro JavaScript engine in Safari, make Safari run up to two times faster.iTunes Home Sharing also received a major revision in the IOS 4.3; that allows users to connect to their home Wi-Fi network and stream content from the IOS device to the speakers, TV and other devices, or vice versa. Personal Hotspot for iPhone 4 is a new feature for iPhone GSM (previously released by Verizon iPhone) that allows users to create a Wi-Fi network with 4 iPhone and provides internet access to five other devices on Verizon Wireless, AT & T three of these will be available for both the iPhone 4 U.S. carrier, AT & T and Verizon Wireless.

Digital rights management:

And proprietary closed nature of IOS has garnered criticism, especially with digital rights advocates like the Electronic Frontier Foundation, computer engineers and activist Brewster Kahle, Internet-law specialist Jonathan Zittrain, and Fee Software Foundation who protested's introduction to the show iPad and already iPad targeted by them " damaged by Design "campaign.Microsoft's competitors, through public relations spokesman, also criticized Apple's control over the platform.

The most important are the restrictions imposed by the design of IOS, which is intended to lock the purchased DRM media to the Apple platform, model development (which requires an annual subscription to distribute applications developed for IOS), a centralized approval process for applications, and general Apple and lock control of the platform itself. Particularly on the issue is the ability for Apple to remotely disable the application or remove at will.

Most of the technology community have expressed concern that the locked-down IOS is a growing trend in Apple's approach to computing, especially Apple's shift from a hobby machine could "play with" and note the potential limitation is to keep software innovation. However, there are few outside Apple who have voiced support for IOS closed model. that developer Joe Hewitt, who had protested against Apple's control over the hardware as a "terrible precedent", was later found locked in the iPad application is similar to a web application and provide additional security.

Whatever your choice, it is important you understand your needs. Each gadget has a sophistication and drawbacks.
