these are two of the best-selling smartphones in the world and they are also the dilemma that many of you are facing should I get the new Galaxy or the new iPhone well let's find out which one is right for you I'm high memory beta this is it now and this is iPhone 5s versus the Galaxy s4 this is one of the most difficult comparisons ever since these two devices have very little in common except for three things they're both iterative updates of their predecessors they are both very powerful devices and they are also polarizing phones that are either loved or hated by everyone their hardware is a clear example of just how different these two phones are Apple's iPhone 5s retains the same aluminum and glass design of last year's model with the exception of some low-light enhancements the camera a new a7 64-bit processor that's yet to be proven and there are a new touch ID fingerprint scanner that state of the art for the most part by contrast Samsung's Galaxy s4 retains the same plastic design of last year's model with some minor refinements on the curves a much better camera significantly better and the adoption of the Snapdragon 600 processor in our AT&T unit here I won't bore you with comparing specification or benchmarks side-by-side because that wouldn't be fair especially with the iPhone an existing four bit processor but both devices performed great in daily and hardcore usage and really that's what matters I think the whole discussion of AMOLED versus IPS or RGB versus pentile is over both devices have great displays with great color reproduction great viewing angles and awesome pixel density so obviously the galaxy s4 abides to a better 1080p standard the question here is if you want bigger not so big and the other question you're left with us if you want plastic and hyper glazed or aluminum some people consider aluminum to be better build quality but neither of these is scratch nor dent proof if you will use them so I like plastic as much as I like aluminum it really depends on you now I'll tell you this much apple's choice of colors with the 5s the tears fingerprints much better than samsung's hyper glaze if that's really an issue for you the Galaxy s4 is more suited for those interested in a better multimedia experience with less compromises since the displays a full inch bigger than the iPhones it has expandable storage up to 64 gigabytes and a replaceable battery and yes this phone is big by the standards of many the iPhone by contrast is more suited for those wanting a simpler experience with great one-handed usage since this device is very easy to handle and it is small by most people's standards there's nothing expandable here as well so there is one less thing to worry about for most people keep all these things in mind when choosing between these devices when it comes to hardware now both of these devices were actually designed to disappear in your hand and are more focused on giving you a more comfortable software experience sadly that is also a significantly different thing in both these devices on the galaxy s4 we have Android 4.2.2 covered by Samsung's proprietary version of TouchWiz which is either loved or hated by many I personally don't like TouchWiz because it seems more toy like in my opinion but I will hand it to Samsung's for providing as a very reliable experience there are minor stutters here and there but you'll hardly ever be bothered by them the biggest selling point of this phone is how many things you can do even though you won't actually use half of the things you can actually do with it most of them are actually gimmicks Samsung includes air gesture to hover through photos or pages even though it's easier to do this with your thumb and air view which allows you to see messages without entering them which is actually cool and comes from the Galaxy don't line up aside from that you get smart features like smart scrolling smart stay which some are good some are not usable at all I personally turn them off the only feature I do praise very highly a Samsung's multi window support buying a big display is pointless if things are just bigger you actually want to do more with that display and Samsung actually allows you to multitask between different applications in a very smart way here Apple's iOS 7 is a complete departure to TouchWiz what Samsung gives you an abundance Apple gives you in refinement this is no version of the OS is more grown more aesthetically pleasing and even more feature-packed than its predecessor yet simple it wasn't designed for you to show off hovering gestures to anyone but instead to focus on doing what it can do quite well logical enhancements like control center or the photo gallery are much needed and actually quite cool but there isn't really anything that the iPhone can do that the galaxy can't do the difference is that for example the keyboard on iOS is extremely reliable when it comes to text prediction and the galaxy keyboard is just terrible I had to install SwiftKey out of the box but other than that again iOS is not about cramming features but more about giving you the features that matter and making them work quite well when it comes to software it's really hard to recommend one more than the other both platforms have the healthiest ecosystems you can buy and yeah I won't bore you comparing Siri with s voice because it's just the waste of time more on the side of s voice still you get Google now on both these phones so there's really nothing to worry about in that end in the end if you want more and not necessarily better Samsung is your best pick and if you want more refined and not necessarily limited then iOS is your best pick the only worry I have with Samsung is that they've become really slow when it comes to updating their Android software and then in the case of the iPhone that's really never going to be a problem now what's it like to actually use these phones on a daily basis in a word it's actually great both devices are awesome performers in daily tasks and awesome performers and hard core tasks we tested them with games like asphalt 8 and neither of them have heat problems or stutter problems when it comes to performance on these games are in their hardcore daily usage I mean I really have no complaints and its touch ID cool enough to pick the 5s over the GS 4 well that actually depends on you I've come to love the feature because I am a password type of person the 5s rarely gets it wrong and it works in seconds sadly the Galaxy s4 does not have a fingerprint scanner but and again if you're not a password type of person then you won't have to miss this and again if you like pens you will be covered battery life on both these devices is quite similar there will get you through the day that's pretty much it the only great thing about the Galaxy s4 is you get a replaceable power pack as long as you buy one now they're cameras are a topic of unfair comparison I say unfair because obviously the 5s is six months newer than the Galaxy s4 and they like these are two of my favorite camera phones great color reproduction great level of detail and just amazing photos overall now when it comes to low-light photography the iPhone 5s just destroys the galaxy s4 even without optical image stabilization the larger pixels do mean cleaner and usable photos with the 5s whereas in the galaxy s4 the photos in low-light are just unusable and when it comes to flash well not everybody likes flash photos I personally don't like them but both phones perform quite similar in call quality again I found the 5s to sound significantly veteran colors felt the same this you know just follows my complaint with Galaxy phones the list date I have not found a galaxy phone that has been call quality and the same case happens with the galaxy s4 now both devices have awesome speakers their speakers sound louder than normal and I do recommend them for speaker phone calls and even yeah listening to music but then again for phone calls the iPhone 5s has the edge so autumn line iPhone 5s or galaxy s4 well I'll tell you this much you won't go wrong with either both are great performers though the iPhone 5s just push the bar with their camera technology and touch ID still the galaxy s4 is no slouch when it comes to the added software features and I'm sure most of you will like these things if you're out there for a better multimedia experience a bevy of software added features in little to no compromise when it comes to hardware the galaxy s4 is definitely your best pick but if you're out there for a more refined than focused experience with a future-proof camera and security and probably better build quality in the opinion of some the iPhone 5s is definitely your pick as well that's it for a comparison of the Galaxy s4 and the iPhone 5s thank you very much for watching
