It is no secret that such companies as Apple and Samsung hold the leading positions in the market of mobile devices, smartphones and other gadgets. The advantages and disadvantages of each manufacturer can be revealed by comparing their flagship devices. These are the Iphone 5s and Samsung Galaxy S5 today.
Case dimensions and quality
The flagship from Samsung is significantly larger than its competitor from Apple, namely - the length of Samsung is 15% longer, the width is 24% and the thickness is 7%. Thus, the Iphone wins in terms of compactness. As for the build quality of the case and its materials, the Iphone is head and shoulders above its competitor. The body of the Apple product is made of anodized aluminum, the seams and joints fit tightly together, preventing dirt from entering - which cannot be said about the flagship from Samsung. The Samsung case is made of plastic, the seams and joints do not fit so tightly and over time they become clogged with dirt.
Display size and resolution
In this respect, Samsung is well ahead of Apple, as Samsung's display is 62% larger than Apple's. Moreover, the display resolution of Samsung is sharper - the resolution is 432 pixels / inch, while the Iphone has only 326 pixels / inch.
Fingerprint scanner
Almost all modern smartphones are equipped with this type of protection. Comparing the fingerprint scanner from Samsung and Apple, it should be noted that in order to unlock a smartphone from Samsung, you need to slide your finger along the sensor. This should be done strictly perpendicular to the bottom edge of the phone and not very quickly, otherwise the scanner will not work. Apple is doing much better in this matter: to scan a fingerprint, you just need to attach it to the sensor, and in any position relative to the device itself. Thus, the Iphone optical scanner unconditionally outperforms the Samsung touch scanner.
Camera
Despite the fact that both devices under review are equipped with high-end cameras, the flagship from Samsung confidently takes the leading position. The 16-megapixel camera with instant autofocus allows you not only to capture the highest quality pictures, but also to select a different focus point in an already taken photo.
Battery life and capacity
Samsung's battery capacity is 2800 mAh, which allows you to use the device for about two days on a single charge in moderate power mode, while the iPhone's capacity is only 1570 mAh, which reduces the battery life to one day. It should also be noted that the aforementioned drawback of the Samsung device in the form of a plastic case and, as a result, a removable back cover turns into an advantage that allows you to replace the battery yourself without resorting to the help of specialists, which cannot be said about the Iphone.
conclusions
Summarizing the above, it should be noted that Samsung is confidently leading in terms of "stuffing" - it has a more powerful camera, a larger screen, longer battery life. Nevertheless, do not forget that many elements of the presented flagship were at one time "borrowed" from Apple products, and the build quality and materials from the Iphone are much higher.
