what's up everyone John Ranger from technobuffalo here today we've got a phone battle royale in one corner we've got Apple's iPhone 5 in the other we got samsung galaxy s4 let's smash these two suckers head-to-head see who comes out on top alright so before we get into all the battles and fighting let me give you a few disclaimers guess the iPhone 5 has announced last September which in cell phone years makes it a grandfather but it did just come out on tmobile in this decision a lot of folks are faced when they come to get a new phone do they want the current generation iphone order they want the latest samsung galaxy device so of course once the iphone 5s comes out we will update this review and do a complete comparison comparing both those devices but least for now this is the latest Apple handset against the latest Samsung handset let's go ahead and smash so did my reviews the first thing usually talk about his reception both these guys had almost identical reception pointing the same bar that I know it's kind of just algorithmic gibberish for what shows up on the screen reception is solid for both I got soul LTE on each on this review is done using both AT&T models so iphone and galaxy s4 i'm not going to get too into the operating system stuffin so we've covered that ad nauseam i'll talk a little bit about some of the S features and some custom stuff that Apple's got with the iOS but not much operating systems things if you want to see pacifico I stuff go back and check the reviews for each of these phones so number i do these verses videos i try and pick the category is most important to me and the categories i think might be most important to you but obviously there are tons of other things we could discuss and this would be a 17 hour video so i picked aforethought most important there were some that don't fall on that you can sort of fill them in yourself so before we're going to talk about our number one screams these are all touchscreen phones and you got to be able to see them so that is lion item number one number two we can talk about camera both these phones bows pretty impressive cameras we're gonna talk a bit about those suckers next we're going to talk about building the build of each and what that gives or subtract speech phone then they just talk about some intangibles cuz there are a lot of intangible things about each of these devices and we are going to declare a winner and none of that it's a tie the choice is up to yours cop out answers one of these phones will win let's start with the screen so it's a bit of a refresher course the iPhone 5 has a 4 screw the resolution of 11 36 x 640 giving it a 326 ppi it's Samsung counterpart has a one inch bigger screen if you could do math you'll know that is a 5-inch screen with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 giving it a 441 PPI so since apple debut the retina screen used to be the screen to beat when you did a comparison you knew you're talking about screens Apple had this one in the bag not so the case anymore the screen resolution just stayed the same and Samsung and other Android competitors had a lot of time to catch up so being phone ones you're gonna use an outdoor sometimes in my experience the iphone 5 was much better in direct sun and i should say i don't use auto brightness on my phones i keep them both at about eighty percent in direct sunlight i could almost always see what was on the iphone 5 not always a case with the galaxy s4 so ding that sub category goes to the iphone but the samsung has got a lot of screen niceties tucked away inside of it so the s4 had better viewing angles you could view it from the side much better of course having a bigger screen and bigger resolution you could see much more content for instance we go to TechnoBuffalo calm we could see a whole separate article extra that we couldn't see on the iphone 5 so we're talking about playing games or watching video the honest answer is I couldn't really tell that much of a difference between the two obviously the screen size was different but both of them looked awesome so that you know it's going to be a tie but if you have to pick a winner when it comes out to screen I will take better viewing angle I will take larger size any day that one goes to the samsung galaxy s4 so next let's talk some camera action we've got a 8 megapixel shooter living here on the iphone 5 we've got a 13 megapixel shooter living here on the galaxy s4 our own Brendan Russell did a ton of camera comparisons comparing how things looked in low-light highlight or just normal bridgend sunlight comparing these two phones they were very impressive for me if I was going to take pick a phone that I want to go shoot regular pictures with I would still pick the iphone 5 which is really a testament considering how old it is and the end in cell phone world september's makes de dinosaur over the camera is really impressive that goes to show that megapixels aren't everything now having said that the galaxy s4 offers a ton more features in the built-in camera app there's a huge amount of things you can do from best face to action shots on a lot of other cool things they packed underneath the hood here now the iphone can do a lot of those we got to do separate apps and for me that gets a little bit on the annoying side so this one really gonna come down to what you want if you want you to pure shooter or if you want the features so it comes out to camera it surrounds a tie all rights next let's talk about building before everybody out there start screaming but the plastic build makes it do so many more things calm down I'm gonna get to that bill call it on the iphone has been outstanding since the very first iphone came out you've got a single piece of aluminium that it's carved out of and the phone just feels incredible it isn't held up that well over the past eight ish months it's got some dings around the outside i don't use a case on it those that could very well be my fault but the phone feels outstanding Apple nailed the design of the iphone fire this is the best looking iphone they've ever had it feels incredibly light we almost forget to there's a battery inside of it every inch every millimeter every centimeter every nanometer this phone you could tell detention to detail was paid to it and it really shows the build quality is absolutely outstanding now when it comes to build quality of the galaxy s4 we talked about this ad nauseum but it bears repeating once more it's plastic something you might not mind it some of you might actually like it but for me it doesn't scream high quality least in the build quality side i know i do like the addition samsung's made from the s3 to the s4 they've got these sort of fake metal accents on the side they've squared off the outside of its when you hold it it feels much more secure in the hands but when it comes out to build we picked these both these phones up and you hold them in your hands the iphone 5 feels head and shoulders better than the galaxy s4 so this round goes to the iphone alright so next let's talk about intangibles because there are a lot of intangibles about both these phones let's start with the galaxy s4 it's got a lot of stuff in it that the iphone just doesn't have things like NFC things like expandable storage things like a removable battery if that's important to you all the crazy s features that are packed into it I just got a ton of awesome things that the iphone just doesn't have now for me the iphone also has some intangible features as well it's got the app store which for me is always going to be the ace up apples we've the App Store is incredible apps are designed just for these devices they only have to support a few screen sizes in the app experience if you compare the same app on iOS and Android almost always a better experience on iOS also Apple of course has the iCloud which I know there's a lot of cloud solutions for both and cross platforms and some just meant for Android but the big thing for me is the iCloud backups fact I can restore a phone exactly the way it was with relative ease and I you can do some things like that what Android you could route and there are different backup solutions that will back up texts and contacts and other things as far as a seamless backup experience the iphone really has that one nailed but when it comes down pick a new device tangible wise i'm going for NFC I'm going for expandable storage this round definitely goes to the galaxy s4 we talked about scream talked about cameras we talked about build quality and some intangibles who is the winner of this epic phone smackdown it is Samsung's latest the galaxy s4 now if you're signed between these two phones and you think Apple might be the way to go your best bet is gonna be to wait the iPhone 5s is clearly lurking just around the corner perhaps only a few weeks away at worldwide developers conference in San Francisco but if you're new and you just want to pick up a new phone right now I don't really care which iphone is out your best bet is going to be the galaxy s4 of course once apple and leashes the 5s will update this video and show you what that has we may have some new competition but this decision a lot of people make when i go to a store iphone 5 galaxy s4 for my money I pick up the Samsung so what do you guys think you agree disagree i'd love to hear your thoughts leave your comments down below and please give the video a thumbs up and try to keep them
