The annual battle between Apple and Samsunasing completely redesigned flagship handsets that come loaded with more new features and custom technologies than can easily be counted.

In fact, the Apple iPhone 6 and Samsung Galaxy S5 are so packed with features some fans have justifiably struggled to keep track and have been left wondering how the two match when they're run head-to-head.

 

 

Design

iPhone 6:138x67x6.9mm, 129g

Galaxy S5: 142x73x8.1mm, 145g

Both the iPhone 6 and Galaxy S5 have very different designs. The iPhone 6 has an aluminium curved chassis while the Galaxy S5 has a pebble-like perforated detachable polycarbonate backplate that connects to its metal sides.

Of the two, the iPhone 6 is the lighter and thinner of the two, however the Galaxy S5 is on paper more robust, with Samsung having built it to meet IP67 certification standards. The certification means the Galaxy S5 is the only phone of the two to be dust and water resistant.

Both handsets feature custom fingerprint scanners in their front-facing physical home buttons, though the Samsung Galaxy S5 is the only one of the two to feature a biometric heart scanner on its back.

Display

iPhone 6: 4.7in, 1334x750, 326ppi Retina HD display

Galaxy S5: 5.1in, 1920x1080, 432ppi, Super Amoled touchscreen

Apple made a big deal about the iPhone 6's 4.7in Retina display. But on paper it is still lagging behind its Android competition in terms of resolution. This is particularly true when comparing it with the Galaxy S5, which, featuring Samsung's Super Amoled technology, is currently one of the finest on the market.

However, considering the stellar colour balance and contrast levels seen on previous Retina displays we're not willing to rule the iPhone 6 out just yet and will wait and see how the two compare with real-world use before offering our final verdict.

Operating system

iPhone 6: iOS 8

Galaxy S5: Android 4.4.2 KitKat with Samsung Touchwiz

Comparing Android and iOS phones from a software perspective is always a tricky affair and this remains true on the KitKat-powered Galaxy S5 and iOS 8-powered iPhone 6. While iOS's lack of malware is a selling point for the iPhone 6, both handsets are rife with enterprise features.

For example, iOS 8 features improved password security, S/MIME features and VIP threads, and support for Microsoft Exchange out of office replies as well as advanced synchronisation features with Mac OS X computers.

By comparison, the Galaxy S5 comes with Samsung's custom Knox security as well as Google's own enterprise applications and services. Knox is a sandboxing service that lets users create a separate encrypted password-protected work area on their device.

The Knox version 2.0 running on the Galaxy S5 also features upgraded certificate management, VPN+ and enhanced container-security powers, as well as new Marketplace and enterprise mobility management (EMM) services.

Processor

iPhone 6: A8 chip with 64-bit architecture with M8 motion co-processor

Galaxy S5: Quad-core 2.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 801

Both the iPhone 6 and Galaxy S5 are on paper powerhouse smartphones. However with the iPhone 6 being the first ever smartphone to run using Apple's new A8 chip and reworked M8 motion co-processor, which Apple claims offers 25 percent faster CPU performance than the A7, we won't know how the two compare until we get our hands on the new iPhone.

Camera

iPhone 6: 8MP rear, 1.2MP FaceTime front

Galaxy S5: 16MP rear, 2MP front

Camera technology is one area where Apple has been falling behind in recent years, and when it was released the Galaxy S5's 16MP rear camera was better than the iPhone 5S's 8MP rear camera in close to every way. Even now, featuring what Samsung claims is the fastest auto-focus speed of 0.3 seconds, the Galaxy S5's camera is a very impressive piece of technology.

Aware it is facing stiff competition Apple has worked to radically improve the iPhone 6's 8MP rear camera and has loaded it with a new sensor with True Tone flash, 1.5 micron pixels and f/2.2 aperture.

The sensor adds a number of improvements to the iPhone 6's camera compared with previous iOS handsets. Key additions include phase-detection auto-focus, which allows it to focus twice as fast, as well as tone-mapping, noise reduction, and a new slow-motion mode that can capture video at 240fps.

Storage

iPhone 6: 16GB, 64GB, 128GB, unspecified RAM

Galaxy S5: 16GB and 32GB upgradable via Micro SD, 2GB RAM

The Galaxy S5 comes with fewer storage options than the iPhone 6, but it is the only one of the two that can have its storage upgraded after purchase. Via the Galaxy S5's Micro SD card slot, users can add a further 128GB of space, meaning the handset can technically feature more physical storage than the iPhone 6.

Battery

iPhone 6: Unspecified, 11-hour listed life

Galaxy S5: Li-Ion 2,800mAh seven-hour burn score

Apple lists the iPhone 6's unspecified battery as offering users 11 hours of video playback and WiFi browsing and 10 hours of LTE and 3G browsing. If accurate this means the iPhone 6 will feature a significantly better battery life than the Galaxy S5, which during our burn tests generally only offered between seven and eight hours of video playback.

Price

iPhone 6: From £539

Galaxy S5: From £580

Neither the iPhone 6 or Galaxy S5 are cheap, though the Samsung handset does carry a more premium price tag, with the basic 16GB model costing a full £40 more than its equivalent Apple competitor.

Overall

Run head-to-head, both the iPhone 6 and Galaxy S5 are very impressive handsets. However, thanks to a slew of new untested technologies, such as its new camera sensor, A8 processor and iOS 8 operating system, it's difficult to gauge how the iPhone 6 will perform with real-world use. As a result, until we get our hands on an iPhone 6 and thoroughly test it, we won't be able to accurately know which is the better phone.

 

 

With the iPhone 6 Plus, Apple is in an unusual situation: this large-screened iPhone is a new arrival in a category created by its arch-rival Samsung, and recently re-crowned with the arrival of theGalaxy Note 4. Now that Apple's seen the big-screen light, is its biggest-ever iPhone likely to tempt anyone over from Android? Lets take a closer look in comparing the Note 4 vs the iPhone 6 Plus.

he iPhone 6 Plus is Apple's start in the alphablet realm of Android.

 

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 vs iPhone 6: Design

The iPhone 6 Plus is quite thin, measuring just 7.1 mm. It looks like Apple is wanting to boost the size of their phones while keeping them thin to keep up with the ''the thinner the better’’ trend. The Note 4 on the other hand is not as thin, measuring 8.5 mm, however it packs a stylus.

The power button has been moved onto the side of the iPhone 6 Plus, which is more similar to the Note 4, and is now easier to reach. The difference of course between these two is a question of material: the iPhone 6 Plus is made of metal, while the Galaxy S5 is made of plastic with a little bit of metal, that being the frame. It comes down to a matter of taste on what you prefer though.

Both the Note 4 and the iPhone 6 Plus come with fingerprint sensors, but the Note 4 has it beat in that it comes with a heart rate monitor and UV detector, as well as being water-resistant (IP67 certified). A big ''accomplishment'' for Apple is that they've now included an NFC chip, which Android has had for quite some time now. No further comment.

Both the new iPhones are pretty radical design departures, and the iPhone 6 Plus is huge. © Apple

I like the way people talk bout Apple copying Samsung, but everyone forgets that it's Apple that re-invented the smartphone world with the original iPhone and every other manufacturer followed them.

The best quality/price ratio is on the OnePlus One. A beastly smartphone for a very moderate price. 
The best design belongs to either the iPhone line-up or the HTC ONE/ONE M8.
There are many aspects that you should consider when matching phones up and selecting 1 overall best phone is completely impossible, as they're all bad or good at some points.

I actually recently just switched from my older Samsung phone to an S5. 

 

Tbh, I am really happy that I kept with Samsung, even though my older Samsung phone and tablet have had a couple minor problems. The S5 has exceeded my expectations though. 

 

For my old phone, I'm more used to charging my phone once a day, since I usually keep wifi on at all times because it's necessary for my work environment. Ever since I've switched to my S5, the battery can last around 2 to 3 days with LTE or wifi on, which is pretty impressive. It's camera is pretty nice to have around too, though sometimes, focusing can be a pain. There still are similar focusing glitches that carried over from the S4. 

The speakers though do get a bit shaky because of the water-resistant back and it does become a problem for music clarity when the volume goes above a certain level (almost at full blast). 

I don't know what the deal is with the interface, it's pretty nice to have. Overall, it's actually a great phone. (if you don't really care about price like me)

[I.D0M 601]

I'm on my nexus 4 right now :D And iOS doesn't need the specs like Android does, it manages to do more with less. They're not putting in a better display, because it would increase the price even more and wouldn't make almost any difference to users. They're not putting in wireless charging, because it's really not needed and would increase the price even more, would make the phone thicker. When talking about the mobile payment system, they introduced it better than Android did, they they signed contracts with payment systems, stores, restaurants made sure that it would actually be usable when users get the phone. But I don't understand why they didn't have widgets earlier.

You can't blame companies like this for running things bad, when they actually are one of the top phone manufacturers worldwide. They have their plan of approaching the customer and it's succeeding.

It's actually a tough question to determine which smartphone would be the best... You have different requirements, and different needs, suiting your phone respectively. What I would like would be something with a not-so-big screen, would easily fit between my fingers and my thumb (my palm) would not be too small to type, would be sturdy, have a RAM just enough to run two-three stuff simultaneously. What I'm currently using is a Nokia Lumia 630. It's got a 5 MP back camera (not that good, but it can capture pictures well). It's a windows, of course and it's pretty stable. I haven't had it crash till now. It's not the best one there is, but if you are looking for a low-investment cellphone, it would be a considerable choice. 

 

Pros: 

Has a decent camera.

VERY reasonable price (150 $ in total)

Decent amount of RAM.

Stable OS.

Very user-friendly interface.

Dual-sim (useful in many cases)

Screen size is just perfect in my case, I need only one hand to use it. Still the keypad is big enough to help me type easily. 

MS Office is fully available for free, which is really good if you are working/making presentations etc. 

Pirated applications. :33

 

Cons:

No front camera. (Pro for me, con for others, I find it really good that none of my friends can take pictures of themselves when using my phone).

No flash light. (big con ok)

8 GB internal memory, of which 3 GB is taken by the OS. (Maybe that's why it runs smooth?)

You can't get every application because most of them are for android and apple only. 

Some applications that are free on others are paid in this market. 

 

My conclusion is that it is mainly for those people who are in college/university/running some small work. It is economical and easy to afford. Not the best, but among them in it's league. 

 

 

 

One thing that amases me about the Iphone 6 is the 2.6 GHz processor. That is a lot of power.

Now what about Samsung, what did they innovate? They added a fingerprint scanner that doesn't even work properly, a heartrate sensor that's not needed for 99% of it's users and other things are minimal just like from Apple.

Samsung used to be flagship carrier of Android but personally I don't feel inclined to it(Unresponsive, bad build, over-priced, sensors are crap). That title now goes to Google's Nexus line which in most ways better than iPhone. But I agree on the point of achieving more with less on Apple adding that the Os runs very smoothly.

I am currently using a Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo. It has a 5 MP back camera and a front camera as well. It has a 1.2 GHZ Quad core processor and a 1GB ram. It has motions and gestures and all that stuff. It full fills all my needs. I won't really go for something like an S5 or Iphone 6 lol
