 Pricing

For both phones the base amount is $199 with a contract this includes 16gb of storage internally. For iphones to increase to 64gb it’s $100 more than the base and $200 more for 128gb. The S5 does have bigger internal space but more commonly a micro SD is bought to put inside the phone to increase storage. A 64gb micro SD car can go for $40 off amazon and that with the base is 80gb for $239. If you want more storage than that you can get a 128gb for around $100 increasing it to 144gb for $299. It all depends on how much storage you are looking for the S5 is  more cost efficient for more storageiphone-6-concept-23 but is the same at the base.

 Size/ Display

The S5 is bigger than the Iphone is, the screen is .4 inches longer diagonally. It is 4mm  longer, 5mm wider, and 1.2mm thicker. The difference in size may not seem like much  but depending on what you want it can make a big difference. The IPhone’s display is  1334 x 750 while the S4’s resolution is better with 1920 x 1080.

Camera/ Video

The main cameras vary widely the GS4’s camera can take 16 mega pixel pictures which is  5312 x 2988 while the Iphone is half that at 8 mega pixels The iphone may not be able to take as well of picture but it has  1.5 μ pixels are .38 μ larger than the S4s. The front camera is again twice as better on the S5 2 megapixels(1920×1080)  v.s. iphones 1 megapixel (1280×960). Their ability to take videos is similar but also very different. At 60 fps they both get 1080p but at 30fps the GS5 gets a better resolution of 2160p compared to 1020 fps. The slowest fps the GS5 can go is 120 fps while the iphone can do 240fps so while the GS5 can get better resolution it can’t record as slow as the iphone.

Battery Life

Androids typically get battery life, The iphone has around 250 hours of battery life on standby while the S5 can get 390 hours of battery life on standby.which means you can use your phone roughly 1.5 times longer the iphone. I haven’t noticed any new features to extend battery life on the iphone but for the S5 they increased the battery by 200mAh which isn’t a ton but they have added a new feature that allows you to choose a few apps you want and it will only run those apps and extend your battery as long as possible.

Features

Both devices have a fingerprint scanner on the home button. They both have a wallet app they may function differently one may be better but apple wallet hasn’t been out long enough for the ability to compare them. They both have bluetooth 4.0 and NFC. So far they have seemed quite similar but the GS5 has much more feature. It has a new feature that allows you to use both wifi and mobile data to boost your download speed. It also has usb 3.0 and is dust and water resistant up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. The S5 also has a heart beat monitor on the back so you can check your heart rate at all times.You also can use air gestures and control your phone without even touching it. Apple claims to be able to make your WIFI 3x faster and now lets you use wifi to make calls when signal is not available but the GS5 has the same Wi-Fi 802.11ac and now has two wifi antennas so it will probably be very similar in wifi speeds.
