haibe:

Brightness settings is obviously different in these two photos. So it's difficult to conclude.

My brother, don't get me wrong, Despite all the flaws in samsung S4 it's still better than the iPhone 5s ( almost all major tech reviews agree with me cnet, techradar, phone arena etc). Just that the pic quality for s4 esp outdoors ain't it and battery life is indeed poor. However if you really are looking for best picture quality and battery life pls pls pls buy Nokia 1020,925 or 920 simply amazinggggggg!

Two more points:
1. Size
I love sports, actually play all games I'm opportuned; basketball, football, tennis, swimming, volleyball but most of all, badminton. Which brings me to my holy grail-running, it's my way of kicking everyday on. I run at least 10km every single morning on weekdays and at least 20km during the weekend.
I use an app called Nike+Running which uses the GPS on my phone to navigate routes, distance, pace etc at the same time playing music. Now this isn't the focal point of my argument as the app is cross platform so android has it. My issue is phone size #gbam! Imagine using an arm jacket, putting in pocket or holding an S4 in your palms and running at a pace of 5'30"/km for 1hr:30mins If you don't get tired of running, I assure you when you get home you won't be able to drive to work. How you wan take hold steering


2. Durability
When I had my iPhone 5, as a field service engineer, most of my work is outdoors and as such the number of times my phone fell(twice from a mast, but not too high sha) is uncountable. My iPhone 5 has fallen face down on gravel or cobbled road several times to the extent that at a latter stage I can't recall my phone falling down and my heart skipping a beat out of fear regardless of the height of fall or nature of the surface cos I came to realize it's a very tough phone. My colleague's S3 fell from a desk down to a carpeted terrazzo floor, see injury!!!.
With all that said sha, I'm more careful with my 5s, make mother luck no frown on me, lol.

Not surprise coming from the underdogs. They always want to compare with the best just to let ppl knw they have come of age.

You obviously didn't watch the video I linked.

Donvitalis: Just the fluidity that i get on Apple trumps all those Samsung features put together. Moreso, i just can't risk my privacy on Google Play which is notorious for leaking security details to app developers. Apple devices are top notch.

Except you root your phone you won't face any security threat, Same goes with jailbreaking an iPhone

There are just two phones in the world which is iphone 5s and others

aywhy93: [size=14pt]If you think Samsung is better than Apple OR Apple is better than Samsung... I wont Argue with you but check the latest Infographic on Smartphones Sales and Usage here - http://www.stevenbergy.com.ng/2013/12/latest-updated-infographic-on-mobile-phones-sales-and-statistics.html

#Samsung Rocks[/size]

so so dumb but let me enlighten u a bit samsung makes over 5 different fones per year low end middle end and high end that's is their strategy. Apple makes 1 phone per year Js recently they made 2 phones this year both are high end nw dat is their own strategy. From this it will be lame to judge both fones based on market share cos it is expected that Samsung normally will have high market share based on the number of fones they release per year and the various ends that they target.

Still rocking my s3 t999 2gb ram

texazzpete: lol. Silly article. Throw in all the gimmicky, me-too features of the Galaxy S4 and use that as a 'my phone is better than yours argument'?

Some of the points are downright silly. If you buy an iPhone 5S, you KNOW it has a 4 inch screen and you like that screen size just fine. Claiming an advantage for the S4 because it has a one inch bigger screen is just lame.

I have an iPhone 5S and a Galaxy S4. Both complement each other. For me, the main differences lies with the difference between iOS and Android. One is more open, one is a closed source, walled garden ecosystem. Each has their advantages and disadvantages. Bringing up stuff like the IR blaster and NFC that hardly anyone uses is just funny

so on point

Tecano keep off

Just day flex my s3 t999 2gb

How many sims are in the Galaxy s4?

aywhy93:

But s4 and note 2 are still d real deal?

maureen5: i own a 2gbram version of the s3 and an iphone 5s, i love the s3 more.

tell us another story jor. Trying to spot the difference between u and a mad man that claims to luv his Peugeot 504 more than the latest range rover.

aywhy93: I always wonder what type of Juju Apple is using that makes so many people still love and use it. The difference is just too clear... Its like 'Iku' and 'Orun'

US and western media propaganda aimed at rendering competitions unimportant and redundant. It's left to you to make an informed and correct choice.

nawti: Well it depends on the end user and how technology savvy the person is. Before I go further, I will base my premise on the following analogy, to safely arrive at a logical standpoint on which is better.

If Samsung s4 is rated as the best android device, then permit me to base some of my points on the android platform

inbuilt app:

SGS4 screen mirroring
My phone is connected to unlimited 3g network on Three, as a result of which I watch most of my videos on my Phone. with the screen mirroring, I can initiate the video playing on my mobile device and watch it on my Samsung LED TV. With apple, you will need apple tv connected to your TV, and that in itself is unreliable and requires some funny connection cables.

SGS4 smart pause
Video playback pauses when i look away from the screen and resumes when I look at the screen. Iphone?.........


Android apps on SGS4
1. Ceberus
With ceberus the posibility is endless in tracking your missing device. Let me point out a few:
- Get the phone call records and messages when the thief tries to use your phone.
- get the thief's phone number on sim change
- automatic picture capture on wrong unlock code, and sent to your email
- hidden conversation recorder in the background without the thief knowing that you are listening in to their conversations
- Remote control via text messages
- SIM Checker (for devices that have a SIM card): you will automatically receive alerts if someone uses your phone with an unauthorized SIM card

Remote control allows you to perform many operations on your device, like:
- Locate and track it
- Start a loud alarm, even if the device is set to silent mode
- Wipe the internal memory and the SD card
- Hide Cerberus from the app drawer
- Lock the device with a code
- Record audio from the microphone
- Get a list of last calls sent and received
- Get information about network and operator the device is connected to
- And much more!

The good thing is this, you don't need another phone to control all the functions, simply go online and login with your username and password and you are okay.


2. Tasker
Schedule different tasks on your phone based on different parameters. These are some of the setting on my SGS4

- low battery below 30%, switch phone to single core out of the four cores (this saves battery), and switch from 3g to 2g
- I use a bluetooth watch (pebbles) synced with my phone for stealth notifications when I'm at the office.
At 9:30 am
+ switch on my bluetooth and start the pebbles app to connect the watch
+ adjust screen brightness to 10% and set sound profile to silent
at 2 pm (lunch time)
+ switch the profile to normal so that I can pick calls
at 2:30 pm
+switch back to silent profile
at 5pm
+ switch off bluetooth, close pebbles app
+ switch on 3g connection if battery is above 65% otherwise, stay in 2g mode
+ read out all my personal email with S-voice while I'm in the car

The app is set to note the three network mast close to my house, with the mast network number and stored because of the function below
on noticing that I am around the mast do the following:

+ switch on my wifi and connect to my home internet
+ if wifi connection is not successful, switch on 3g

those are some of the settings i've got.

There are people who use it to:

+ open the car garage door
+ set home alarm
+ switch on the heating system at home
+ switch on the kettle in the morning before going to work

Iphone cant do any of these, and the good thing is that the setting is done once and I don't bother myself with making this adjustments while on the move.

NB: I use a MB pro laptop, an ipad mini and had an iphone 4s before switching to sammy. I'm speaking from personal experience with the device

End of discussion!!.....Iphone 5S to the garbage bin.

The only reason i prefer the iPhone is speed !
Also d fact tht its virus free, only reason i got d Samsung is to watch football on SkyGo. Sky stopped all jailbroken phones from accessing thr services and Xcon on jailbreak isnt workin yet. Well i guess its all a thing of preference . .

exactly preference is the key word.previous post not meant 4 u

Very old phone that is the S3 competitor

So there's this clown that has been claiming that both the Galaxy S4 and Nexus 5 have better cameras than the iPhone 5S.

Has anyone set him straight yet?

[size=14pt]Samsung Galaxy S5 --- http://www.stevenbergy.com.ng/2013/12/samsung-galaxy-s5-specs-features-price.html[/size]

I use an iPhone 4S and I will keep buying apple products, whether u like it or not iPhone has gotten more class than ur samsung, and please you don't have to angry with me but I know that inside ur heart u know that this is true, if my we won't be having this thread opened just to beef iPhone ... You don't bee failed or poor people, u can only beef the successful and rich ones and iPhone seems to be in that class .. Sorry guyz

texazzpete: So there's this clown that has been claiming that both the Galaxy S4 and Nexus 5 have better cameras than the iPhone 5S.

Care to do so? That video proves your argument wrong. The camera hardware on the Nexus 5 and iPhone 5S are the exact same Sony cameras. The Galaxy S4/Note 3 use the exact same sensor. The Nexus 5 also features OIS.

The difference between the iPhone 5s camera and Nexus 5 camera is software related and not hardware. Google continues to improve camera software functionality on the Nexus 5 because it's their first good phone equipped with excellent camera hardware.

Well smart stuff prove me wrong! Or are you also easily blinded by western propaganda?

So how come iPhone top them all in this user friendly shit ?
