Should I buy the Samsung Galaxy S4 or Apple iPhone 5

Must read before you buy the Samsung Galaxy S4 vs. Apple iPhone 5



The competition in the UK mobile phone market is now between Apple and Samsung ever since Blackberry and Nokia got left behind.


Both  Apple and Samsung have been relentless in their pursuit of becoming the most successful mobile phone manufacturer in UK and the World. Samsung has benefited from recently unveiling the Galaxy S4,  However, Apple's iPhone 5 is still hanging on due to its strong branding .



Apple has patented a new iPhone design making us believe that it would either be the iPhone 5s or the next-gen iPhone 6. Nonetheless, until these rumors become a reality, the iPhone 5 remains Apple's flagship phone.

If you own an iPhone 4s, you could transform your iPhone 4s to and iPhone 5. See the video below.

The Four Main Features of the Samsung Galaxy S4 vs. Apple iPhone 5

  •  Display
  • CPU, RAM and Storage
  • Camera
  • Software

Display




A mobile phone's display is one of the most important characteristics, mainly because it not only serves as a screen, but also as an input method.

Compare the iPhone 5 with the Samsung Galaxy S4


Firstly you would  notice a huge difference in the design philosophies employed by the two manufacturers.

The iPhone 5 offers a 4.0-inch LED-backlit ISP LCD panel featuring a resolution of 640 x 1136. If you do the math, this results in a pixel density of 326 pixels per inch.

On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy S4 delivers a pretty large 5.0-inch Super AMOLED display with a full HD resolution (1080 x 1920) and a pixel density of 441 ppi. In a way, the SGS4 offers more of a "Retina Display" than its competitor.

While both screens are protected by Corning Gorilla Glass, Samsung's flagship is a couple of steps ahead simply because it benefits from the latest iteration (Gorilla Glass 3). The SGS4 also boasts a display that can be operated while wearing gloves.

All in all, the Samsung Galaxy S4 seems to be the clear winner. Nevertheless, Apple's displays are renowned for their accuracy in color reproduction. The Super AMOLED panel delivered by Samsung produces more vibrant and lively colors, but as pleasing to the eye as this may be, the color representation is not necessarily the most accurate.

CPU, RAM and Storage

The iPhone 5 is disappointing in terms of CPU and RAM compared to the Samsung Galaxy S3 or S4.
Apple's current flagship boasts an A6 dual-core CPU clocked at 1.3 GHz and 1 GB of RAM.

 Despite this apparent lack of processing power, the handset came in between the Snapdragon and Exynos-powered Galaxy S3 variants in terms of benchmark scores. Whether it is because of the operating system or the hardware architecture itself, the iPhone 5 delivers better results than the sum of its parts.

However, iPhone 5's hardware will not be enough to take on the Galaxy S4. Boasting a quad-core Snapdragon 600 CPU clocked at 1.9 GHz (in LTE enabled markets) and 2 GB of RAM, the SGS4 managed to yield 3163 points. That's almost double the score delivered by Apple's finest.

Storage wise, both smartphones come with 16/32/64 GB, but the Galaxy S4 takes it one step further by having a microSD card slot. This can be used to expand the storage by up to an additional 64 GB.


Camera




iPhones, in general, rules in terms of camera quality, and the iPhone 5 is no exception. Samsung on the other hand delivered a decent camera but nothing ground breaking on its previous high-end smartphones.

Whether or not the situation will be any different this year remains to be seen, as the best way to compare two cameras is to thoroughly test them in the field, in various conditions.

On paper however, the Galaxy S4 seems to have the upper hand. Its 13 MP sensor wins the "pixel war" against the iPhone's 8 MP shooter, but there's more to it than the amount of megapixels.

 The Galaxy S4 also features optical image stabilization (versus the iPhone's digital image stabilization), dual-video recording capabilities and a handful of other useful camera software features such as the Erase mode.


Software



Regarding the software, the Galaxy S4 seems to have the upper hand in terms of hardware. This doesn't necessarily come as a surprise since the SGS4 is a much newer smartphone after all.

Interesting Article to Read UK: Is Mobile technology the key Author: Petah Marian | 13 February 2012 Retail and consumer goods companies say that mobile technology will be key to maximising sales over the next two years, according to a survey conducted by KPMG. The KPMG Consumer Markets Survey, released today (13 February), found that 36% of UK respondents view mobile technology as key to maximising sales, with 46% in Germany, 44% in the US and 50% in India. It also said mobile technology is even more important in developing markets because of the lack of access to broadband and stores - which means more people shop using their smartphones.

Retailers must embrace mobile technology as an urgent priority or otherwise risk falling behind," said KPMG consumer markets partner Tim Clifford. "Mobile technology is dramatically altering the reta
