25 Reasons Why Galaxy S5 Is Better Than iPhone 6

2014-10-14
what's up guys David here and welcome back to this form of style comparison between these Samsung Galaxy s5 in the Apple iPhone 6 so if you would subscribe to the channel for long enough you know that we do things a little bit differently here at bulb up and instead of your typical comparison we do it phonebook style where we do two videos looking at a bunch of reasons why each smartphone can be considered better than the other so that way after watching both videos you can decide for yourself which smartphone is the better smartphone for you let's go ahead and get right into it reason number one Apple finally bumped up the screen size with the iPhone 6 but the galaxy s5 screen is still bigger at 5.1 inches and offers a higher resolution and pixel density at 432 PPI too while both phones offer bright displays the s5 screen can become significantly dimmer making it easier on the eyes while using it in the dark and acting as somewhat of a privacy screen that only you can see when out in public 3 another benefit of the s5 screen is that you can use it even when you're wearing gloves which can be a pretty big deal if you live in a colder climate for yet another trick the s5 display has up its sleeve is air view which gives you a preview of what your finger is hovering over without actually having to press it making it especially useful for things like figuring out who speed L is who's in the dollar reason number five unlike the iPhone 6 the Galaxy s5 is ip67 certified meaning is both dust and water resistant which can be useful not only in the times when you accidentally get the phone wet but also for when you do it on purpose like when you're washing dishes and need to answer a call 6 like it or not on the iPhone you're stuck with the homescreen that Apple gives you whereas on the galaxy s5 if you don't like the way something looks you can easily change it with a third-party launcher 7 and in addition to being able to customize the homescreen the s5 also allows you to customize the lockscreen giving you even more control over how your phone looks and feels 8 while the iPhone 6 finally comes with NFC it's limited only to mobile payments whereas on the galaxy s5 not only can you make payments but you can also use NFC for things like pairing devices easy file transfer and automating the things that you do on a daily basis with NFC tags 9 while the photo quality of the Galaxy s5 and iPhone 6 are comparable a big advantage the s5s camera has over the iPhones it's its ability to record video in 4k giving you four times the resolution and sharpness of the iPhone 6 is 1080p reason number 10 while recording video and 4k is great it does create larger video files so thankfully Samsung equipped the galaxy s5 with a micro SD card slot allowing you to store up to an additional 128 gigabytes of video or whatever else you want via a relatively inexpensive micro SD card 11 with private mode on the galaxy s5 you can hide just about any file on your phone like a picture or video for example with it only being visible to you when the password-protected private mode is enabled 12 if you ever run into trouble with the s5 you can triple tap the power button to automatically send a text to the people on your emergency contact list giving them your location a picture from the front and rear cameras and a short sound recording so that way they can get a better idea of where you are and what's actually happening to you 13 with the toolbox feature on the Galaxy S 5 you can have a persistent floating menu on the screen wherever you go giving you quick and easy access to up to five customizable apps making multitasking between them a breeze 14 speaking of multitasking on the galaxy s5 you can actually put the bigger screen to good use with multi window which lets you use two apps on the screen at the same time for the ultimate multitasking experience reason number 15 unlike the iPhone 6 the Galaxy s5s battery is removable meaning you can swap it out with a freshly charged spare or even get an extended battery if you so desire 16 but there's a good chance you won't even need to do that as the Galaxy s5s 20 800 million battery will keep you going for longer than the smaller 1810 milliamp battery found on the iPhone 17 and as if those two previous points weren't enough if you really needed a squeeze more life out of a single charge the galaxy s5 also has an ultra power saving mode that helps the battery last you up to an additional 24 hours on just a 10% charge 18 if you have a missed notification on the iPhone 6 this is what you see when the screen is off on the galaxy s5 on the other hand you get this blinking LED light letting me know of missed notifications without having to turn the screen on in order to check 19 while the iPhone 6s App Store has advantages of its own that you'll hear about in the other video the Play Store in the galaxy s5 has the advantage of offering a two-hour return policy for paid apps so that way you won't ever get stuck paying for an app that you don't end up wanting reason number 20 sure the iPhone 6 can copy-and-paste but with the galaxy s5s clipboard feature you can keep up to 20 pieces of text and images copied to the clipboard letting you paste any one of them at any given time 21 unlike the iPhone 6 the galaxy s5 has an IR blaster which lets you use your phone as a remote control for things like your TV sound system blu-ray player and if compatible even your air conditioner 22 when you buy the galaxy s5 you get over $500 worth of freebies or what Samsung likes to call galaxy gifts which includes things like 50 gigabytes of Dropbox three months of LinkedIn premium and many other freebies and specials available exclusively for owners of the galaxy s5 23 the galaxy s5 lets you set default applications which can be useful for when you want a third party app to replace a system app for example if you want to Skype to be used to make calls when tapping on a phone number from an email you can set Skype as default over the dialer on the s5 whereas on the iPhone 6 you have to copy the number down and open up the Skype app separately 24 while you can technically get Google now on the iPhone 6 the Galaxy s5s version of it is much better integrated allowing you to do things like say ok Google from any screen and have Google now launch automatically alright reason number 25 the Galaxy s5 has USB OTG support which lets you easily connect things like a mouse a keyboard a USB flash drive in even an Xbox controller to the phone with a relatively cheap OTG cable so there you have it those are my top 25 reasons why the Galaxy s5 could be considered better than the iPhone 6 of course the word better is subjective so if you haven't already I'd also check out the iPhone 6s version of this video which will be annotated somewhere here on the screen or link for you down below in the description anyways that's it for me in this video if you liked it please give it a big thumbs up to show you love thank you for watching it as always I'll see you guys in the very next episode
