Should I get the iPhone 5 or Samsung Galaxy S4?

This is why I believe that the Samsung Galaxy S4 is better than the iPhone 5

1. It is quicker (1.9 quad core processor/ 1.6ghz Octa core vs 1.3 dual core processor)

2. Microsd- you can expand the memory with a 64gb microsd. This a cheaper way to expand your memory and you can have a 16 gb S4 and still have more storage than iphone 5 if you get a 64gb microsd.

3. USB OTG- you can read usb keys no problem with an adapter so you can check out whats on them so you don't have to put your computer on.

4. Microusb charger- Better than the lighting connector as you can get them easily and cheaply but also you might have it from other devices as it is becoming standard for smartphones to use microusb chargers.

5. Removable battery- This means you can replace the battery if you run out of charge when you are around unlike the iphone 5 which you have to charge or bring an external charger and charge it from there, however this is an awkward way of charging your phone. Also the removable battery can help you prevent water damage as you can remove the battery if it falls in water, thus reducing the chances of water damage.

6. NFC- Want to transfer a music album quicker than bluetooth, well now you can with NFC. You can also use Tectiles 2 to make your life easier

7. Customizable- Change launcher(Are you bored, get a new launcher that suits you and your personality), custom ROM your phone and have access to apps specifically made for rooted devices directly on the play store. You control the device so that it suits you.

8. Dropbox- Love cloud storage well Samsung is offering 50gb free of charge to S3 owners for 2 years on Dropbox. Backup music, video, photos(this can be done automatically), documents etc. Who doesn’t want this amount of free cloud storage?(You have to complete a certain amount of steps to get the free storage but none requires any credit card details or anything to complicated) (N.B Not everyone will be offered this bonus as carriers have been known to have stopped Samsung from offering this to customers)

9. Screen- It’s bigger but not to big. It has 441ppi vs iPhone5’s 326ppi plus the Amoled screen creates beautiful colors. I also found no problems when using one hand, and I have medium hands if not small hands.

10. Android features-Widgets, live wallpapers, Google Now and all the beauty of android, widgets on the lockscreen etc

11. Samsung added features

a. Smartstay- won't turn the screen off if you are still looking at it.

b. Smartpause- pauses a video when you turn around and turns it back on when you turn back

c. Eye controlled webpage scrolling

d. Airview- check link to learn more http://www.phonearena.com/news/Samsung-Galaxy-S-4-...

e. Infrared TV remote

f. External temperature and humidity sensors

g. Use the phone while using gloves

h. S Health- useful for health enthusiasts

i. S Translator- it’s all in the name a translator

j. Blocking Mode- activate it to block things like calls, notifications, messages, LED indicator etc

k. Power Saving Mode- Can be used to save power by limiting the processor speeds, turning of Haptic feedback, using less power for the screen and changing the color in the stock browser and email app

l. Home screen modes- for beginners it makes the home screen setup easier

m. Etc- I could go on but check the link to see even more features http://www.phonearena.com/news/Samsung-Galaxy-S4-1...

12. Camera- It has a 13mp camera vs iPhone 5’s 8mp. It has more features than than the iPhone’s camera which makes it even better.( http://www.businessinsider.com/htc-one-galaxy-s4-i... this link shows how the S4 has the best smartphone camera)

a. Dual shot- take photos from both cameras so that you can include the photographer in a photo

b. Photo with audio message- record a message before or after a photo to add to a photo

c. Eraser shot- can remove unwanted moving content

d. Drama shot- takes pictures of a moving object and puts the moving object through the whole picture

e. More but those are the best

13. Multitasking- watch videos while online, write an email while watching a video, send a message while surfing the web, you can split the screen in two so you can multitask without a bother, this cannot be done on the iPhone 5.

14. Durability- The S4 does not suffer from scratches like the iphone 5 where the back of the phone is aluminium and scratches really easy, the S4 does not suffer this fate.

Hope this helped

Enjoy your new phone (no matter which one it is)

Hi!

My Opinion Is That The Galaxy S4 Makes The iPhone Seem Like Yesterdays Black And White Movie, It Is An Amazing Phone! No Regrets Of Buying This Phone! + What I Like About Android Phones Is That It Has A Little Bit Of Everything, Bit Of Apps, Bit Of Social Networking/Messaging, Bit Of Gaming, The List Goes On!

Where As The iPhone Is All About Games, The Blackberry Is All About Social Networking/Messaging And The Windows Phone Is All About Apps/Live Tiles.

Its A Good Choice Of Phone With A Variety Of Usages, Weather You Are A Über Gamer, Or A Heavyweight Facebooker, Its An Amzing Choice Of Phone

But The Choice Is Yours My Friend! :)

Its your choice, but id go for iphone 5

the iphone 5 Apparently love can be measured. And it keeps adding up to iPhone. In nine straight studies by J.D. Power and Associates — that’s every study since the first iPhone was introduced — iPhone has been ranked “Highest in Customer Satisfaction with Consumer Smartphones.” iPhone ranked highest in the study, which reviewed the following categories: performance, physical design, features, and ease of operation.1 iphone 5 ad

Make your life richer, simpler, and more fun.

As a real life companion, the new Samsung GALAXY S4 helps bring us

closer and captures those fun moments when we are together.

Each feature was designed to simplify our daily lives.

Furthermore, it cares enough to monitor our health and well-being.

To put it simply, the Samsung GALAXY S4 is there for you. ad for Samsung GALAXY S4

I don't think you should do something just because your friends are doing it. The S4 is a much better phone from any standpoint, except the apple App Store is larger. Any smartphone should be able to join a group text message. My old blackberry keeps up with my roommates iPhones. Both phones are great though, get a case and take care of them!

Which do you prefer? Simplicity or Power? I'd take the S4 if I was you, as I prefer to have a unique handset, among friends. There are many other group messaging apps that are multi-platform, so you can ask your friends to shift to it, so that everyone can interact. Something like WhatsApp would be cool.
