The highest interest and demand among the best smartphones without a doubt in addition to appearing a little earlier Xperia Z and HTC One, uses Samsung Galaxy S4. His presentation has completed a series of high-profile Android-event of the year. Flagships are, maps disclosed. What about the iPhone 5? Well, compact smartphone without many opportunities for settings, but with plenty of high-quality application was submitted six months ago. Samsung have had enough time to release an innovative product. It turned out there? Has the Galaxy S4 better iPhone5? To answer this question, we compared the iPhone 5 for you and Galaxy S4 detail .
Display and Processing
Display and Processing
The first obvious difference: the size of the devices. Both smartphones have almost identical thickness: in S4 it is 7.9 millimeters, iPhone 5 a little thinner - 7.6 millimeters. However, this height iPhone 5 123.8 mm and 58.6 mm wide, while S4 has dimensions 136,6 x 69,8 mm and is significantly more space in the pocket or bag. In the matter of size, the solution is always individual: those who prefer to play, more likely to be convenient display Galaxy S4, those who appreciate the compact size, the soul will have the size of the iPhone 5.
If we compare the material and processing body immediately obvious advantage that the iPhone 5, the rear panel is made of aluminum and glass, while Samsung still prefers plastic. That's the difference in the choice of material makes the iPhone more noble, while Samsung (black in this case) looks compared frankly cheap.
Samsung diversifies so sleek black design on the back, as a result looks more like a candy wrapper, the front panel is rather becomes gray side panels suddenly made under the metal. The deep black color would be more Galaxy S4-to-face and would give the device a more solid look. Have in common devices in design only physical button on the front panel, which is missing from all Android-devices and volume located on the same side of both vehicles.
In total
As in the design process and, in our vgzglyad obviously wins the iPhone 5, leaving the Galaxy S4 bored with plastic hard back.
Display
Comparing the displays, it should be remembered that Apple over the years using Retina-displays, the quality of which is known. However, Samsung has almost reached comparable with Retina quality. 4-inch Retina-display with a resolution of 1136 x 640 pixels (326 ppi) is comparable to the 5-inch Super-AMOLED-screen Galaxy S4, having a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels (441 ppi).
However, it is felt a significant difference in the resolution? No, it is not so obvious. The crucial as the displays is the technology used.
Samsung AMOLED-and technology transfer are known for their deep black tones and in many tests shows better results than LCDs. However, in vivo comparison of the iPhone 5 is not much inferior to the transfer of darker tones and black.
We were extremely surprised by the transfer of the white Galaxy S4 at maximum brightness exposed. As seen in comparison with, white Tendir S4 quickly to the blue-gray tones.
In general, color reproduction on the Samsung Galaxy S4 different saturation, while the iPhone lighter color and clarity, but less contrast.
In total
Both technologies are focused on different things: in S4 emphasis on the color saturation of the iPhone 5 - in the shades. Contrast and sharpness are equally good. We say a draw.
Operating System
The operating system iOS is a closed ecosystem, a high level of protection and security, and the right to issue a limited personalization. Your iPhone will always be one to one the same as the iPhone to your friend. Android OS open system, of which, unfortunately, is emerging as a consequence: the application of a lower quality and a greater likelihood of infecting your device with viruses or hacking. Instead, users can personalize their device to your taste, preferences and appreciation.
What does this mean in practice? Samsung Galaxy S4 runs on the latest version of Android 4.2.2, has an extremely wide range of functions in intergrirovan interface TouchWiz. The idea and concept S4 are based on intuitive use of a smartphone. This makes the device privlektalnym more advanced and innovative.
In total
Android offers more opportunities, but also more susceptible to malware and more vulnerable. Giving preference to iOS, you will receive a full suite of applications and a high level of security but limited personalization system.
Camera
Both manufacturers have abandoned the physical button for shooting. True, IPhone 5 allows for the use of the volume button. Minus the camera is that the camera application can not be changed and the feature set is clearly inferior Galaxy S4. It includes only the following: panorama mode, HDR mode and flash. Galaxy S4 offers twelve different camera modes and dozens of additional parameters (delay, burst mode, ISO, etc.), as we wrote in detail.
Let us turn to the quality of the photos. Significantly inferior to 8-megapixel camera (iPhone 5) as a 13-megapixel camera (Galaxy S4)? Compare the result in the same lighting conditions and in the same modes, the difference is visible in the transmission of color saturation, but the sharpness of the images obtained in the same way.

Pre-installed camera application on the S4 offers a greater range of functions, settings and features, while the iPhone 5 camera is very minimalist in plants, which, however, does not affect the quality of your photos.
Processor and Performance
Samsung Galaxy S4 is equipped with 2 gigabytes of RAM and a 1.9 GHz quad-core Snapdragon.iPhone 5 is powered by a dual-core A6 processor with a frequency of 1.2 GHz. In the benchmark test Geekbench S4 scored 3163 points, iPhone 5 is only 1596 points.
Do not forget also that the S4 is equipped with a slot for MicroSD, which is a big plus, despite the fact that the iPhone is available in configurations of 16, 32 and 64 gigabytes of internal memory.For the same problem: the work of the five applications in the background and the game Dead Trigger S4 managed without difficulty, while on the iPhone often there were delays in the game. As for performance, the Samsung gets a perfect score.
Not the last role and the issue of battery life. Galaxy S4 is equipped with a battery capacity of 2,600 mAh, iPhone 5, however, only 1440 mAh. However, despite the seemingly significant difference, the result was the same: after six hours of intensive testing both batteries have reached their limits. But here the Samsung big advantage: unlike iPhonen 5 in S4 you can replace the battery.
Total
Summarizing and drawing conclusions, it is necessary to bear in mind that Samsung has released its flagship six months later than Apple. Six months in the world of technology - a huge time. The result: Galaxy S4 is equipped with all the best. A better processor, better camera, a better battery.Samsung expects its product to interest the young and progressive audience. But not only the capacity of the device.
The main difference though is in the operating system: Android vs. iOS. Open vs. closed, individuality against a limited standard. In addition, the S4 made a breakthrough in the issue of the functionality of a smartphone: control gestures, movements and voice. iPhone loses in this matter and looks smart phone last generation. However, continues to lead in the design and flawless handling.
