The Samsung Galaxy S5 has just been officially unveiled by the leading South Korean consumer technology company. For this new generation of their reference smartphone they have chosen to innovate in two key aspects: hardware and software, leaving innovation in the field of design "behind". In this post we take you directly against Apple's iPhone 5s, its most direct rival in the market, and compare its technical specifications.
Design and display
The newly introduced Samsung Galaxy S5 mounts a screen with 5,1 inches diagonal and resolution Full HD 1920 x 1080 pixels. By cons, the iPhone 5s has a screen only 4 inches with resolution 1136 x 640 pixels. In addition to varying by 1,1 inches for the size of its screen, the flagship of Samsung and Apple are also far behind in pixel density, being that of the SGS5 of 431 dpi and the iPhone 5s only 326 dpi.
Processor and RAM
Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 is the chipset that incorporates the Samsung Galaxy S5, specifically a "revision" of this SoC capable of offering a maximum clock speed of 2,5 GHz with quad cores processing. The A7 chip of the iPhone 5s, however, maximum of 1,3 GHz with two cores. The differences in this aspect are really great, since the Apple device has a processor with architecture of 64 bits and that of Samsung is maintained, as in previous generations, with an architecture of 32 bits.
On the other hand, the memory 1 GB RAM of the iPhone 5s is widely surpassed by the 2 GB of RAM that incorporates the Samsung Galaxy S5. For the user, this aspect directly influences the execution of background processes and multitasking.
Main and secondary camera
On its back, the iPhone 5s incorporates an 8 megapixel sensor, nothing more and nothing less than half the value offered by the Samsung Galaxy S5 with its 16 megapixel sensor. However, the iPhone 5s incorporates a dual "TrueTone" LED flash that notably corrects the deviation of tones, a job that we will see later how it is carried out in the Galaxy S5. In the field of video recording, the Galaxy S5 achieves UltraHD 4K resolution at 30 fps, while the iPhone 5s is only capable of offering FullHD 1920 x 1080 pixels maximum resolution in video recording.
On the other hand, the iPhone 5s is once again surpassed when we "take a look" at the secondary camera module that both incorporate in its front part. In the case of the Samsung Galaxy S5 we find a 2,1 megapixel sensor capable of recording in Full HD 1920 x 1080 pixels and in the iPhone 5s a 1,2 megapixel sensor limited to recording in HD 1280 x 720 pixels resolution.
Storage and battery
Also in autonomy, according to the information provided by Samsung, the S5 will widely surpass the iPhone 5s reaching a maximum of 21 hours of conversation compared to the 10 hours that the iPhone 5s offers in this same use -conversation-. Finally, while the Samsung Galaxy S5 will only be available -as of April 11- in two variants of 16 GB or 32 GB, the iPhone 5s is also available in a third variant with 64 GB of internal storage. However, the Samsung Galaxy S5 offers a slot for micro SD cards of up to 64 GB, which means that it will go up to 76 GB - 98 GB depending on the variant (16GB + 64 GB or 32 GB + 64 GB).
If the thing was clear, Samsung has been superior to Apple when it comes to smartphones for 3, 4 years
The truth is that s5 is the same as the s4 and inferior to the IPhone 5s and in September they release the iPhone
And if not, wait a week for the web pages to make their conclusions and criticize the s5, because it is to criticize it. iPhone is renewed every 2 years and Samsung looks every 3 years
As long as Samsung continues with Android, many of us will continue with iOS
Yes, there are fools who throw money around the world. Do you know how much it costs apple to make an iphone? 120 dollars, do you know how much you spend to buy it? about 5oo dollars. Apple scams you as it wants, you pay 370 dollars just for the labor and you still have an inferior phone even to Nokia hahahaha
Which shows that the fool is you and you do not understand how the market economy works or the theory of marginal returns.
That Apple has reduced its cost so much again demonstrates Apple's entrepreneurial greatness. What the consumer has to compare is its cost, not that of the manufacturer, only
Do you know how much it costs apple to make your toys, and how much does it sell you for? much more expensive than manufacturing cost.
miguel there is something that any weon says in a video of loquiando, but there is a big difference between the cost that one believes, against the real cost, you only look at the materials, understand why you think that apple does not sell its operating system, you do not pay a iphone for its manufacture but for the system…. windows how much does it sell its operating systems, think about that ... more than the material price apple is not weo ... they give their lives for IOS ... the big difference between IOS and Andoid is that one is free and the other is from apple, that's the difference ...
Nokia with Windows Phone is also more manageable than Android. You androids are scammed apart from lacking in aesthetic sense, but mediocre must be everywhere
You buy your Nokia with that Windows Phone, I tell you something more than Nokia in thickness is crap, even LG makes equipment with less thickness.
No, I'm from iOS and iPhone. iOS seems to me the most aesthetic and simple OS in the world. But I prefer Windows Phone to Android, I bought a Samsung Note 3 from my father and it seems to me a horrible and absurdly complicated operating system.
Some of us look for the minimalist and simple, not a thousand functions for geeks
If you want to play a number game it's easy, but yes. the correct data that is pure shit, now you should know that manufacturing is not what is worth the most for the iphone or any apple product, but it is for the jewel that the big iso IOS…. idiot, that's all I will tell you ... not to tell you donkey or donkey, who believes that material expenses are what develops the final product, you are not talking about ice cream or potato chips, you are talking about technology ... because you think samsumg uses plastic ... just ask yourself why when a new phone comes out, the others go down in price ... one of the fundamental laws in capitalism ...
mmmm, young man, first study and get advice, who makes the processors of the IPHONE, mm I leave it on task, haaa or better I tell you, THE SAMSUNGGGG makes them, even if it hurts, and if the S4 is plastic it is to improve in other functions, do not be so ignorant child. or don't discuss things you don't know. I find raul and miguel's comments acceptable. Thank you.
That is not new, I know that Samsung mg makes the iplone processors, Samsung makes them, but it is still shit for me with samsumg resources, also read better talk about the iphone software and not the hardware and I know that they use plastic because the wea It is light and cheap, because to be honest the parts of a galaxy are not very elaborate and they heat up the head of how to join the parts, also they give you 512 of ram, the touchwiz wea and a 1Ghz processor and I forgot them 512 you can use only 80 mb and with cuea or let's talk about the SIV use 2g of RAM and you can only use 600 mb well practical your samsung weas, also, I criticize samsumg because the weas are made of plastic and all shits occupy weonas functions and Low-cost pieces, if even oppo 7 is better than the shit of the SIV ... well, donkey people like you will always exist ... and a bit of studying pedagogy in history, also add that I work for technical service of Claro Chile, it makes me a unfamiliar with thematter, you are wrong, well you continue giving your money to samsung companies ... now if wea bothers you, well is your opinion, but do not detract from the knowledge of others ... .. now that it is wrong to correct others, but I think like you defended, the wea touched your soul ... it shows that you have a galaxy ...
It is clear because you did not finish the pedagogy and if you work in a technical service of course it shows that you know about smartphones, I think your experience supports you hahahahaha.
Take note of your spelling, then insult people, ok?
Inferior to Nokia? Hey, you are very bad in the head, Apple is the best technology brand. Also, if you want to buy the plastic from Samsung, you idiot.
another torme more, samsumg is below, HTC, SONY or MOTOROLA, just for one thing ... respect for the consumer ... now no technology expert will ever tell you that samsumg is better than apple, it would be brute ....
hahahaha don weones, if they are based on the numbers the SIv has better numbers than the iphone 5s, but nevertheless the iphone does shit to the sIV in all the tests, stop buying the shit of samsumg or else the aeons will continue to believe gods and throw more shit for them to eat ... those of samsumg have to endeavor to beat the competition in daily use, and not just that the Prosesador or ram numbers sound pretty ... samsumg now shot the SV because the iphone fielded to their 2 iphone a year they had to throw some wea in samsumg or if they did not stay behind and in the same way the weones disappointed ..
Yes kristobal, but ehhh the next iPhone do you know that they will merge with Android and iOS? Come on, you didn't know what a shame ... Anyway, you can speak ill of Samsung, you will know, but it is because envy eats you, the galaxys at least of the S3, S4 and S5 range that are about to come out are always going to fuck Apple in everything. The only thing that Apple does is change the design a bit and expand something, when Samsung changes absolutely everything!
jjjjj. please do not be ignorant, do not compare a Samsung trash with an iphone. I have both and nothing to do gentlemen, I can assure you
Hello foreros I do not want to enter into discussion I have been renting for 3 years for a high-end mobile that you recommend iPhone 5s or wait for the s5 because pal 6 does not. It comes to the iphone 5s me. It costs 580 in pc composts
buy the iphone 5s, because you will have to wait until September to buy the 6 ... although apple released a mode in which you buy the terminal from them and then sell it to apple and if you add more money you get a better iphone ...
hey clumsy, I have a moto X ... I would love to have an iphone, but samsumg is a shit as a brand where everyone who hopes for the best in terminals is passed through the crack ... for the next time if you are going to defend something, no Why do you like it if not with solid arguments… I'm envious I didn't buy a better cell phone because I have to think about my studies, idiot…. And Nicagando would buy me a samsumg ... even if I had 1000 dollars ...
Much novelty, Much toy. But at the moment of truth we are the last to update to the latest version of android
What do I remember in June android 4.5 will be released and the s4 are still on android 4.3
A piece of plastic, against a robust, durable device that does not decrease performance over time. The rest ... Fanboys
WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE LATEST NEWS OF THE IPHONE 6, MAKING THE MOST OF THE 64-BIT PROCESSOR SINCE THE AMOUNT OF APPLICATIONS THAT RUN IN 64-BITS IS CURRENTLY IMPRESSIVE, IN ADDITION TO THE EXTRAORDINARY POLISHING OF ALUMINUM, WHICH IS NOT AN EXCELLENT METAL TO MAKE AN EXCELLENT METAL. TALKING ABOUT THE PHOTOS WITH THAT LATEST TECHNOLOGY CAMERA, I FORGOT ABOUT THE GLASS ULTRA-RESISTANT TO HITS AND FALLS THAT GIVES A UNIQUE AESTHETIC WHEN STARTING AT THE MINIMUM BLOW. ETC ETC TODAY ANY MIDDLE RANGE TEAM COMPETES HAND TO HAND THE IPHONE 5S OR EXCEEDS IT OR TO SPEAK ABOUT THE LAST HIGH-RANGE TEAMS SINCE 2013 THEY GIVE IT 10000 LAPS IN EVERYTHING
IF ONE WANTS TO SEE AN IMAGE BIGGER AND WITH HIGH SHARPNESS SINCE 8 PIXELS IS THE MOST REASONABLE, THEY WILL INCORPORATE THE iLUPA (WITH APPLE LOGO) TO COMFORTABLY VIEW EVERYTHING NEEDED ON THE 4-INCH SCREEN, SINCE IT ALLOWS TO FACILITATE THE MOBIL WITH ONE HAND (THOSE ADVANTAGES ARE SO WEIGHTED AND PREVENTING THE WORLD TREND) IN ADDITION TO A HIGHLY CUSTOMIZABLE SOFTWARE AND WITH MATCHING ICONS ADAPTING TO THE NEEDS OF THE WORLDWIDE, MARKING THE TREND IN INNOVATION INNOVATION AND WINNING MASSIVE WORLDWIDE IT IS SILLY AND BUY ANDROID FOR THE ONLY DAMN TO DO THE AGAINST) THE 1G RAM IS FOR OTHERS ABOVE AND SPEED UP EVERYTHING IN THE BACKGROUND, IN ADDITION A SPECTACULAR SOUND AND THERE ARE SO MANY ADVANTAGES OF THE IPHONE THAT YOU HAVE TO CONTINUE ENJOYING SO MUCH TECHNOLOGY UNTIL THE ARRIVAL OF THE IPHONE 2 WHICH AS A GREAT DEVELOPMENT WILL OPEN WINNING THE RIGHT EYE, WILL BRING THE iLUPA, A MEGA BATTERY OF 5 MINUTES MORE DURABILITY, A CAMERA WITH 6 LEDS TO SEEIF YOU IMPROVE THE PHOTOS AT NIGHT, SOME SPEAKERS WITH ATTENUATOR FOR EXCEEDING THE POWER, ULTRA HYPER TEMPERED GLASS THAT WILL BREAK 15% LESS, IN ADDITION TO ALUMINUM WITH VISAGLE FOR A MICRO SD, WATER RESISTANCE OF 4 DROPS OR MAX 0,5, AND ALL THE INNOVATIONS THAT CAN BE EXPECTED AND THAT APPLE ALREADY ACCOMMODATES TO ITS FANS, THAT IS AN INCOMPARABLE SHIP IN THE CURRENT HIGH-RANGE SEGMENT
Did you smoke something?
If you want the best value for money mobile, bought the Nexus 5, which costs half that of a 5s and gives it 1000 laps.
Well in a nutshell which is better Samsung or Iphone ????
I want to buy one of the two but I just saw that the Iphone 6 is coming out and I don't know if it's better to wait for me.
But I don't know which one to grab
sorry for all those who love Samsung, I would not but I will mention it: who sued who? who has to pay x thieves? be it more expensive or cheaper Apple is more than any other cell phone copy. It is safe it is ideal IT IS DESIGN not a piece of glass with plastic back hahahahaha
Samsung has been just a copy of the iPhone, now for the new iPhone 6 Apple would use a sapphire screen, which Samsung has already mentioned that it will also use sapphire for its next phones. The Samsung and their cheap plastics, how much iPhone uses metal (among other things). Also, do you say that iPhone lowers its prices after new Samsung cell phones? No guys, iPhone keeps the same prices as always. I hope you understand who is the winner between Samsung and Apple (the winner is Apple in case you did not understand the message).
Samsung to continue making televisions and monitors that stands out in that regard, in terms of iphone cellular technology beats it in all aspects, only with the useful life that it has.
Freedom begins with respect for others, and seeing how this discussion forum awakens the soul of the incapable, that is, the insult, makes you doubt if we are talking about telephones or our family. It is clear that the technical details help the market comparison, but there are many lay people who must choose the best functionality in the use that we are going to give it, whether for work or personal reasons. And there are so many benefits that these terminals give, that finally we decide the view and / or the price. I have used samsung and apple, and both are great at meeting my needs. All the best.
My Samsung Galaxy S5 has a serious problem, whenever I go to call this in ROAMING, and I cannot remove it, they can help me.
