this is Jaime Lavetta with pocketnow.com Tony behind the camera we're at the Samsung unpacked event looking at the galaxy s5 which we expected to be much different than what we actually have here but since it is what it is let's compare it to what it's trying to aim at both devices could not be more different than each other the galaxy s5 is sporting a 1080p 5.1 inch a super amoled display with a 1080p resolution where in the case of the iphone 5s we've got the typical retina display and you can see this I mean this is huge the galaxy s5 is just huge in comparison to the iPhone 5s even though this is the biggest iPhone ever the galaxy s5 is also you could say nestin as the iphone 5s though obviously it's hard to tell though obviously this is plastic we've got this faux no longer leather but sort of texturing plastic at the background the case of the iphone 5s you obviously have aluminum and glass and when it comes to everything else i mean think about it this phone is clocking not a 64-bit processors we were expecting it's a snapdragon 801 processor clocked at 2.5 gigahertz where in the case of the iphone 5s we do have an a7 64-bit chip but think about this there is not enough RAM to actually take advantage of the 64-bit chip in the case of the iphone 5s so regardless we could say that we have on par devices here then and everything else we've got for example a 16 megapixel camera on this galaxy s5 that is not optically stabilized and in the case of the iphone 5s we have the typical 8 megapixel camera that is not optically stabilized as well now one of the major differences with this galaxy s5 is the fact that it's water-resistant now keep in mind this is not waterproof just water resistant but hey it's great it's water and dustproof and it's rated in the case of the iphone 5s bear with me here don't get this phone wet because it will get ruined and aside from that you also have this heart rate monitor that you do not have in the iphone 5s and we probably will see it in the future we just don't know Tenzin's implementation is the best obviously we have to test it laughs first other than that there is one big deal that is similar to these phones and it's the fact that they have fingerprint scanning and even though Apple does it with touch ID on this button at the bottom in the case of the galaxy s5 it's actually a swipe towards the home button and if it could get it right let's see if it gets it right this time and swipe to the entire pad and forget it it didn't get it right so let's use our proprietary password here see if notice iphone 5s unluck immediate galaxy s5 let's try one more time no match no match no match something's wrong but anyways you get the point it's really hard to get this right it's probably a software glitch we were trying it earlier and it actually did get it right a couple of times but other than that we've got samsung's new TouchWiz UI we're expecting new cards and the whole UI that we saw at CES and no this is pretty much almost the same TouchWiz that we know we'd get this sort of like magazine UI that it's already seen on the Galaxy Note 3 but then when we head back it's pretty much the same pains the same UI with different cards then we go into the app tray it's pretty much the same UI only with different aspects and then when we go into settings we do see that it actually looks a little bit like iOS for example if I go to Twitter you'll notice at the top of iOS is covered by the full bar and we get that same sort of aspect than you I and the galaxy s5 go into settings we get this new UI which is a little bit different in the case of the iphone 5s if i could find settings is obviously this is the typical iOS 7 the UI that we're already used to samson wants to do with icons Apple keeps doing it the same way they've been doing it for seven years so the question is which phone is right for you that's a very interesting question will obviously have the galaxy s5 for review their pocket our labs very soon so far these are dramatically different phones samsung is trying to do something better with this phone we have the m7 coprocessor for fitness on the iphone 5s that is yet to be proven useful the galaxy s5 is trying to do it differently along with the gear so we're definitely going to test these things and tell you which one is better Anton behind the camera hi Mary better with pocketnow.com at mwc sweating like crazy but we'll be back with more
