Last week we already showed you a comparative between the new iPhone 6 and the smartphone that Samsung had specifically prepared to compete against him, the Galaxy alpha, but today the time has come for the confrontation with the great flagship of the Koreans, the only smartphone in which today we can think of as an authentic alternative in terms of sales figures, although it still seems to be far from surpass him: the Galaxy S5. We have, therefore, a real heavyweight duel. Which of the two could interest you more? We face the Technical specifications of both to help you value it.
Integrated
Design is one of the great points of confrontation between both devices and perhaps the one in which they will most favor the iPhone 6, due to its materials and finishes and the large number of critics that the use of polycarbonate by Samsung for your high-end devices. The Galaxy S5However, it does have some advantages, one of which is particularly useful: water resistance.
Dimensions
El iPhone 6 has somewhat smaller dimensions (13,81x6,7 inch against 14,2x7,25 inch), but it's not surprising considering its screen is almost half an inch smaller. Despite the metal casing it is also lighter (129 grams against 145 grams), but probably the biggest difference is the thickness: 6,9 mm against 8,1 mm.
Screen
The screen of the Galaxy S5 is noticeably older (5.1 inches against 4.7 inches) and also has a clearly higher resolution (1920 x 1080 against 1334 x 750), so you still get a higher pixel density (PPI 432 against PPI 326). The big difference lies in the use of panels AMOLED by Samsung, and although the Galaxy S5 improved significantly compared to Galaxy S4The truth is that it did not arrive in time to receive the same improvements that we have seen in the latest smartphones and tablets of the company.
Performance
As always when we compare a iPhone with Android high-end, the technical specifications of the smartphone from Samsung are vastly superior: quad core a 2,5 GHz (Snapdragon 801) and 2 GB RAM vs dual-core processor a 1,4 GHz (A8) and 1 GB RAM memory. We will have to wait for the use tests, however, to see who wins in terms of fluency.
Storage capacity
Although with the iPhone 6 We have the advantage of being able to obtain models up to 128 GB of storage capacity, a truly brutal figure for a smartphone, the Galaxy S5 (32 GB) has an important point in its favor and that is that it gives us the option of expanding the memory externally through cards micro-SD.
Cameras
The victory in terms of megapixels is clearly for Galaxy S5, thanks to its 16 MP, which leaves the camera of 8 MP of the iPhone 6, although it has the virtue of having a dual LED flash and a image stabilizer (digital). The smartphone camera Samsung, yes, you can record video to 2160p, while the maximum for the iPhone 6 es 1080p.
Battery
While waiting for independent data on autonomy, the only thing we can say about iPhone 6 is that Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), esteem en 11 hours its ability to play videos or browse. The Galaxy S5, for its part, has a 2800 mAh battery and in the independent tests reached 9 hours and a half for navigation and 11 hours for video playback.
Price
El Galaxy S5 comes out much better off, in any case, if we look at the Prices, since it has been on the market for a few months and in some distributors we can get it for around $500, while the most affordable model of the iPhone 6 it will cost us $700.
Winner: s5 clearly. The price of the iPhone is nonsense.
And neither fluency nor optimization nor pickled turnips: less hardware means less manufacturing cost and more benefits for Apple.
Regarding the processor, you should clarify (because it seems that you got it from somewhere to the information) that Samsung has a 32-bit quad core being that Apple from the iPhone 5s removes 64-bit processors (huge advantage over one of 32), this is not a minor detail.
The Samsung with a processing cache of 16kb per core vs 64kb of processing per core of the iphone 6, just in case 4 × 16 = 64 | 64 × 2 = 128
I think there is a big difference there, only that people look at uhhh a megacore with thousands of ghz hahaha and no, the processors are more than that.
Regarding the price and yes, apple has the "lose" but it does not warm the one who buys apple, it is like that….
Anyway, they are both very good teams, let's see if they cut with that, this one is better or this one is better ...
I particularly use apple, it is comfortable for me and I do not change for anything, I am already super used to all products and honestly android I find it admirable how versatile it is, but it is not as easy as ios.
Bullshit, how many apps are there that run at 64 bits? What real difference is there in that aspect? Because screen size, resolution, battery, price ... those things are noticeable ...
More OS and less specs. You don't know how the OS influences a team. The future is the optimization of the software and not so many high numbers if the OS cannot take advantage of it ...
I do not know why they compare so much, iphone is always far above in quality of handling and fluidity and whoever says otherwise is that they do not have an iphone and have to buy something more affordable
Iphone, it pisses the S5, performance test, less ram and more performance and MULTITASKING so many gigs and processors to not be able to do two things at the same time ...
AN S4 IS BETTER IN EVERYTHING THAN THE IPHONE 6 A MOBILE 2012 2013. THE S5 BEATS HIM BY A HIT
