iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S4 are 2 fantastic smartphones, frequently hard to compare as some individuals will constantly prefer one while some will choose the alternative. To help decide which kind of person you are, the following short list distinction of the 4 main features of Samsung Galaxy S4 vs Apple iPhone 5 is provided.

SIZE & WEIGHT One huge difference is right away apparent: GS4 is more than 10 percent taller, and about 19 percent broader than the iPhone 5. And if you are one of those who endorses the concept that advantages of size outweigh its drawbacks, you could feel that, compared with Galaxy S4, iPhone 5 feels a bit undersized. On the other hand, if you have very small hands, you may lean towards the iPhone's more compact frame. It's likewise easier to reach your thumb all the way throughout its screen. If you actually want to quibble, wearers of skinny denims will find the iPhone, relative to big-screen Galaxy, easier to pocket. There's also something to be said for quickly draping your fingers around the slimness of the iPhone. Its size is great for those times when you snap it out of your pocket to take a couple of pics.

iPhone 5 is about 14 percent lighter than Galaxy S4: thus is the lightest high-end mobile phone you can purchase today. The Galaxy S4 is the lightest big screen, high-end smartphone you can purchase today.

CONSTRUCTION: PLASTIC VS ALUMINUM Another, immediately apparent distinction is seen in building materials: Galaxy's exterior is made from plastic, while the iPhone is made from more costly anodized aluminum, and this seems to spawn a lot of questionable net debate over whether smartphones made of aluminum and glass are inherently "better" than those made from plastic. The plastic GS4 can feel a bit less expensive in your hand, vs the iPhone 5's aluminum unibody assembly.

SCREENS Display size is an additional considerable difference among the two handsets: iPhone 5's screen is four inches, while the Galaxy S4's is 5 inches. Both have 16:9 aspect ratios. However dimensions can be misleading and do not actually portray the whole story, especially in the case of the diagonal measurement benchmark. For instance, when it comes to screen area, the iPhone 5 gives you only 63 % of that offered by Galaxy S4. Moreover, Galaxy's bigger screen provides 1080p (1,920 x 1,080) resolution, at 441 pixels per inch (PPI), while iPhone 5 has only 1,136 x 640 resolution, at 326 PPI. This translates into a rather big pixel distinction: iPhone 5 has 35 percent as many pixels as the Galaxy S4. However, in translating the practical significance of these details, iPhone 5's pixel density is close to the point at which our eyes cannot separate specific pixels. However, Galaxy S4 display is identifiably crisper.

When is comes to colors, nonetheless, iPhone's IPS screen may have an advantage over the GS4's Super AMOLED. Anticipate more practical colors from the iPhone, and ultra-vibrant (not as practical) colors from the GS4.

Bottom line: both screens are excellent. However Galaxy S4 is much larger, much sharper, and leans to hyper-saturation.

PERFORMANCE In regards to processing power, Galaxy sports a four-core powerhouse vs iPhone's two-core variation. Galaxy is clocked faster (1.9 GHz vs iPhone's 1.3 GHz), trumps iPhone's RAM (2 GB to 1 GB), and scores much higher in standards. In real time, nevertheless, efficiency differences do not appear as significant as the numbers would suggest, and the speedy iPhone holds its own well against the powerhouse of Galaxy.

Bottom line: in spite of the Galaxy S4's overpowering technical benefit, the iPhone 5 holds its own in a lot of casual day-to-day use. Though the Galaxy S4 still has the edge, you'll be hard-pressed to find anything to grumble about with either phone's performance.
