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. In a unique competition between iPhone and the Samsung Galaxy seems to represent a great competition between Android against iOS.

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.

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.
