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?

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.
