Processors.
When it comes to processor power, the samsung s4 beats the iphone 5 hands down. When it comes to cpu showdown, the s4 is the better option. However, the iphone equally comes with a fast processor and the customer is likely not to notice any difference between the two smartphones in terms of the processor speed. The samsung galaxy s4 uses the latest version of android which is very easy to use and supports thousands of apps. On the other hand the iphone uses its traditional ios operating system which when compared to android supports fewer apps since most apps are developed for the android platform.

Storage.
The samsung s4 comes with a 2 GB RAM and compared to the iphone’s 1GB RAM, the samsung s4 is the better option. When it comes to internal storage capacity, the two phones are basically even. The only advantage the s4 posesses over the iphone is that it has the ability to expand the memory by up to 64GB.
Camera.
The iphone 5 still lags behind in terms of the camera. With the majority of smartphone makers adopting HD 13mp cameras, apple still lags behind with its 8 MP camera. The samsung s4 also comes with a 2 MP front camera and has dual camera shooting where you can shoot videos and take photos using both the front and rear cameras. The s4 therefore has an edge over its rival when it comes to the camera.
Durability.
In terms of durability, the iphone 5 edges out its samsung rival. Various durability tests conducted have given the iphone the plus. Drop tests performed from various heights showed that the iphone was the stronger of the two as it emerged from the tests with less damages than the samsung s4. The two phones were also immersed in water two inches deep while playing a youtube video to find out which of the two would withstand water. While both phones were not so much affected by the water, the s4 lost its sound meaning that the iphone 5 could survive longer under water. The iphone 5 is therefore more durable than the samsung s4.

Display.
In terms of display, the two phones almost even out each other. The s4′s larger screen of 5 inches gives it a very crystal clear display ideal for watching movies and videos. The s4 also comes with a thousand more pixels. However, to the normal user who is less likely to notice the difference in the display, this is likely to count for very little.
Body and build.
If you are more for a sturdy and well built phone, then the iphone is the phone of choice here. Though the samsung s4 has outstanding and amazing features, its body and build materials are not exactly premium. The s4 is made from exactly the same plastic that was used to make the s3 thus giving it a cheap feel. The iphone 5 on the other hand is made from anodized aluminum giving it a stronger and more sturdy feel.
Conclusion.
The samsung s4 vs iphone 5 debate will always continue and it is very hard to predict the outright winner between the two smartphones. Each of the two phones has got its own advantages and disadvantages therefore the choice of which one to buy will depend entirely on the customer’s needs. However, if you are looking for a smaller, lighter, sturdy and more stylish phone, then the iphone 5 is what you need. On the other hand, if you want a fast phone with so many apps regardless of size and weight, then you should opt for the samsung s4.
