Apple iPhone 5S vs Samsung Galaxy S4

[janny Ary]

It is rumored that the iPhone 6 will have a bigger 4.8 inch screen and this was the biggest complaint with the iPhone 5's 4 inch screen so it means may be we can't use the same case for iphone 6 like Survivor Case for iPhone5, that must be a pity. Also, the new Galaxy S4 also sport the brand new 5 inch display with a native resolution of 440ppi, same accessory like Survivor Protective Case for SAMSUNG Galaxy should be upgrade new size.

In terms of storage space the iPhone 5S and the Galaxy S4 could both make the Xperia feel like an embarrassed Spartan. And the new iPhone 5S would be pumping up the numbers to 128 GB, if it is true, an ipad mini can be as well as it. The Galaxy S4 is not far behind, with a 64GB internal storage and further options to expand.


Samsung Galaxy S4 reportedly feature a 13mp super HD camera and Apple will reportedly use the super HD camera on the latest iteration. We do not have confirmed reports about the optics used in the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, but word has it that it will share the S4?s camera too.

Some rumor is iPhone 5S should follow suit of Dual SIM Galaxy S3. Dual SIM card phones use two SIM cards that can be active at the same time. This has the advantage of phone owners being able to use one SIM for business and another for personal use without having to carry two separate phones around. Another benefit is that users can have two billing accounts making it easier to charge work use to business expenses while some users might choose to use the extra SIM card slot when traveling abroad.

We?ve already discussed potential specs and what readers would like to see on the next iPhone 5S, and maybe we should now add dual SIM cards to the possibilities. After all, the more widely-used a phone feature becomes, the more likely other manufacturers will add it to the mix for their next smartphones and so it would seem like a logical progression for the iPhone 5S to go dual SIM.

After all, if an iphone 5S is really comes out and go dual SIM, will you go it and giveup Galaxy S4?

This is fun, now we're comparing an unreleased phone to one that is yet to exist....sweet!!!

 

[ibcop]

"It is rumored".....haha

And to answer part of the OP's question - I will never, ever have an Iturd. But that's just me.

Now that the Samsung Galaxy S4 came out, which do you think is better? Should i sell my iPhone 5 for it? i already have an iPad and my mom and 2 brothers have iPhones. What are your takes on the GS4 and iPhone 5?

Truth be told Julie, most iphoners don't like anything about samsung devices and android in general. Will you be one of the brave souls to think outside the box? If you have a chance to try one out, why not? See how using it and holding it feel, see how iphone users look at you while your doing that....you may enjoy it I would answer yes to your question, but can't make you.

LMAO... it was rumored that the iPhone 4S (which should have been the 5) was going to have a larger screen and LTE... did not happen. It was rumored that the now iPhone 5 was going to have a much larger screen... it was larger, but not really on the level of any Android, nor was it any game breaker.

And here is a speed test of the processors of the Galaxy S4 vs iPhone 5 from BGR: SAMSUNG GALAXY S 4 CRUSHES IPHONE 5, OTHER LEADING PHONES IN EARLY PERFORMANCE TESTS... look at the iPhone 5's processor speed with those small 2 cores.

Are you one of those guys who doesn't know that the effectiveness of a CPU depends on the OS that uses it? Just in case you are...

...the effectiveness of a CPU depends on the OS that uses it.

It's ridiculous to compare CPU and RAM on two different OS's. Just so you know, whether or not you hate WP8, that OS and the apps on it runs more lag free on a measly dual core CPU with a tiny 512 RAM than anything I've seen on the market, including iOS.

I went from the IPHONE 5 to the Galaxy Note 2
I own a macbook pro laptop and a IPAD, but I was at the point where I was bored and the screen was too small for me to see (getting old)
I was going to wait until the S4 was released in the US, but the NOTE2 has such wonderful reviews I chose to give it a try.
I have owned other Android phones, and this is simply amazing.

Julie, i've been using iPhone for the past 4 years and i'm itching to get at this S4. I'll be getting rid of my 4s for it, and even if i had a 5 i would be dropping that as well, especially knowing the 5s will have the exact same body style as the 5.

I feel like people today are almost pressured into having an iPhone. If everyone they know has an iPhone they don't want to be the first person to stray. I'm going to be that first person with everyone i know and i'm going to very much enjoy some of the features i will have to them.

Just do it, get the S4. Think outside the box as epic4GEE said.

Outside the box? Haven't you heard? Android outsells iOS products. Android is now INSIDE the box and the iOS group are the rebels.

Bravo! Well said!

What's scary is that the iPhone 5 isn't even my favourite iPhone right now. The Galaxy S4 will sell shiploads, of course, but it has failed to seize the opportunity to polish Samsung's image as a manufacturer. I'm gonna to wait and see what Apple delivers next - will the 'iPhone 5S' pack a "killer feature"?

 

[jcp007]

It is all a matter of personal preference. Performance and function over design and style. The GS4 may not have addressed the external wrapper design materials but the internals and OS improvements have Apple playing catch up. For example, no NFC on the i5. I would consider the i5s if the only reason is screen size and the addition of NFC or some other feature that Android phones already have especially if there is no next generation magnitude change in the OS.

I currently have the Note 2 and love it,,,, but I am feeling like making a change,,, it will either be the S4 or the next iphone (depending on what the next iphone has to offer),,, I like new toys and I like both android and apple.

Not at all what I meant, see apples aim is to get you in the box, a box shaped in the form of an iphone. Once you become invested in their seemingly one dimensional box, it's hard to think outside of it.

Android and it's OEM's give anyone choice and flexibility, that's mainly what's made it the top mobile OS.

RANDOM RANT....I'm just happy samsung is still helping to keep android as flexible as possible, like giving us removable batteries and sd slots, while even google is moving closer to the basic iphone model, thankfully it's still an open OS so OEM's can give us choice. Until I get 10hrs screen on time over 48hrs and 64gb is the min for built in memory....I need choices like the galaxy line brings to the table.

You mean the plain bland rectangle Apple sells is somehow fundamentally different from the plain rectangles everyone else is selling? Hmmmm. Well, not everyone gets topology I guess.

I came. I saw the chain. I pulled it.

The whole batch of arguments going on in these S4 forums is idiotic. You may as well be fighting over spatulas. "Hey! This spatula has THREE slots! Mine in better, it has FOUR!" "Yes, but I have a bigger handle!" Know what? If someone took away your Samsung and forced you to use an iPhone, or someone took your iPhone and forced you to use HTC, do you realize what a difference that would make in your life? Do you? That's right. None at all. You'd still have a phone that makes calls, takes pictures, plays music, sends texts. It is so not worth the animosity I see brewing here.

No, I'm just one of those that likes an open OS, and one that likes different device manufactures to create their own devices for an OS. Apple and Blackberry are the only ones that can develop/build hardware for their OS's... they limit themselves... hardware has passed both of these companies.

 

[Kerafyrm]

Are you people all just stupid or is this forum just filled with astroturfers for their smartphone brand?

It is obvious from the post's misuse of the English language (and their post history) that the purpose of this thread was to repeatedly link to their Chinese reseller website that sells off-brand, low quality cases for phones and tablets. The title and the copy-pasted nature of their message was simply to attract people to click on them.

Spam.

So what you're basically complaining about is competition between companies? You know the thing that drives these many companies to make better and better phones each year...

Thats the great thing about competition is that not only are they competing between other companies, they are competing to please us the consumer which lets us have the option of all these great phones and gives us the right to argue which phone is better in our opinions.

So yah... i want my spatula to have 4 slots even if it has a smaller handle...
