25 Reasons Why iPhone 6 Is Better Than Galaxy S5

2014-10-14
what's up guys David here and the iPhone 6 and the galaxy s5 are obviously two the most popular smartphones out right now so in this two-part video series we're gonna be comparing the two but we're not going to be doing your typical comparison and instead we're gonna be doing your foam lifestyle where we do two videos looking at a bunch of reasons why each smartphone could be considered better than the other so that way after watching both videos you'll get a much better idea as to which phone is actually the better smartphone for you let's go ahead and get right into it reason number one the iPhone 6 with its anodized aluminum body curved edges in sapphire crystal home button has what most people would consider to be a much more premium look and feel to it than the more plasticky galaxy s5 - in addition to the build quality the iPhone 6 is also smaller thinner and lighter than the galaxy s5 making it easier to hold in the hand 3 while this advantage is becoming less and less of a selling point for iOS the fact still remains that right now the iPhone still has a better selection of apps with more iOS first and iOS exclusive apps available then the Play Store does on the galaxy s5 for speaking of apps like you'd expect on the galaxy s5 you can't get any of Apple's apps like Siri iMessage or FaceTime but on the iPhone not only do you get all of Apple's apps you also get a good chunk of Google's with apps like Google now hangouts and more all available for free on the App Store so you kind of get the best of both worlds reason number 5 but there are some apps that you don't get on the iPhone 6 and those are those annoying and uninstall about pre-loaded carrier apps that plagued some of the versions of the galaxy s5 6 under the privacy settings of the iPhone 6 you can see what an app has access to on your phone and if you don't feel comfortable with something the app has access to you can just switch it off without having to delete the app completely like you would on the galaxy s5 7 on the iPhone 6 you can tap the notification bar while in any app to automatically scroll to the top which can be especially useful for when the lists get really long 8 the Lightning port on the iPhone 6 is reversible so you can plug it in to charge and either direction making connecting it at night when the lights are off so much easier on the iPhone 6 than it is on the galaxy s5 9 when you want to email a large video file on the galaxy s5 you're met with this error message with no suggestive solution whereas on the iPhone 6 sending that same video file results in the iPhone automatically compressing the video and sending it seamlessly reason number 10 while both the iPhone 6 and the galaxy s5 have fingerprint scanners the one on the iPhone is compatible with more third party apps and is also much more convenient to use as you don't have to swipe your finger across it making things like unlocking your phone a lot quicker 11 with guided access you can lock the iPhone 6 on any app that you want so you can hand your phone off to your kid and let them play with the phone without having to worry about them getting into anything else 12 unlike the galaxy s5 when you connect a Bluetooth accessory to the iPhone 6 you get an icon in the notification bar indicating the battery level of the connected accessory 13 historically speaking iPhones have had better resale values than the galaxy asses so in a year or two there's a good chance that you'll get more money back for the iPhone 6 than you would for the galaxy s5 14 from pretty much anywhere you can copy-and-paste on the iPhone 6 you have the option to have selected text read back to outloud ideal for long articles or when you can't look away from what you're currently doing reason number 15 because the iPhone 6 gets us update straight from Apple you'll be updated to the latest version of iOS just about right after Apple releases it whereas on the galaxy s5 it could take anywhere between a few weeks to several months before you get an update after it's been released 16 on the back of the iPhone 6 you'll find two LED lights that together give you better and more natural-looking light when taking photos than the single led found on the galaxy s5 17 speaking of taking photos the iPhone 6 is per shot is faster and lasts for much longer than the Galaxy s5s all but guaranteeing you that you'll capture that Kodak moment 18 but sometimes those Kodak moments are better off being captured in slow motion and with the iPhone 6 not only do you get 720p 240 FPS slow motion video you also get audio to go along with that making reliving those moments even more epic 19 of course in this day and age the front cameras and our phones are becoming just as important as the rear cameras and thankfully the iPhone 6 is FaceTime camera doesn't disappoint offering better image quality than the Galaxy s5s while also supporting birdshot to help ensure you get that perfect selfie reason number 20 as we saw in the film of style speed test we conducted the iPhone 6 with its custom a a chip outperforms the galaxy s5 giving you a smoother and more responsive experience overall 21 the dedicated vibrate switch on the iPhone 6 lets you conveniently silence the phone without having to turn the screen on the switch also acts as a visual indicator so you can tell if the phone is silenced or not with a quick glance which can help prevent those awkward situations where your phone rings when you don't want it to 22 the iPhone 6 is speaker offers both louder and better quality sound than the speaker found on the galaxy s5 making listening the music and maybe more importantly watching videos a bit more enjoyable 23 while the ability to make mobile payments via NFC is something that now the iPhone 6 and galaxy s5 can both do with Apple pay the iPhone 6 also gives you the ability to shop online via apps of the browser and make payments with nothing more than your fingerprint 24 the iPhone 6 supports up to 20 LTE bands doubling the LTE support bound on the galaxy s5 and making it a much better option for staying connected while traveling abroad alright we're finally here reason number 25 with family sharing on the iPhone 6 you can share your purchases from iTunes iBooks in the App Store with up to 6 people and your family without having to use the same accounts or passwords offering a significant savings advantage that isn't available on the galaxy s5 alright that about does it for the iPhone 6s version of this video so if you haven't already I'd also check out the galaxy s5 version 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 and as always I'll see you guys in the very next episode
