Official comparison: Samsung galaxy S4 and IPhone 5

Ask any one about the best smart phones available in today’s market and most probably you will get the answer as either Samsung Galaxy S4 or Apple IPhone 5. So according to the general public Both the Smart phones are the best but in real they are very distinct and are not even closely related in any aspect except for the cutting edge technology they sport. Hence we tried to look into the matter and which eventually resulted in the comparison of Samsung Galaxy s4 and IPhone 5 on the basis of some common grounds .

Operating system

Samsung Galaxy S4 :

It runs on Android operating System. As we all know that android is new and emerging Operating System for all mobile devices. The big advantage of Android operating System is that, it is an open Source system. So we need not to take permission for develop an application for android operating System. Any one can make their own Application and install it on his/her smartphone. Android also provides good user interface and right now it is very popular operating System. Android achieved Great Success in very Short time. Android is java based operating System and it uses Dalvik virtual machine for debugging any application. So in general Android is very good choice for people.

iPhone 5 :

IPhone 5 runs on the much hyped apple iOS 6 which sports better and improved SIRI, which I would say is better than android’s voiceover . As for its security Apple iOS is the best as it is more mature and has evolved from a very long way if compared on the basis on the age with android. Building its base with C language Apple iOS cannot be customized or tampered with which favors the users by preventing unwanted changes made by the third party software.

Apps:

Samsung Galaxy S4 :

Android has very big market of Application. And any one can launch their own application in android market. There is no need for testing of application. So this thing has an advantage but the disadvantage also accompanies it. First I will tell you the advantage of Android Apps, it is that the user has access to very large market of applications and most of its applications are free. But the disadvantage is that it is possible that many application are cheap and bad in terms of quality because of an open source platform while in iOS every app is tested by apple so that there is no chance of bad quality of the iOS apps.

iPhone 5 :

The best thing about Apple apps is they are thoroughly tested before they are available for download which removes most of the junk apps or baseless apps . Even though some of the apps are a bit costly than their Android counterparts but you can be assured that you will get your money’s worth from the better quality of the app. The Apple apps for iOS 6 are lesser in quantity then android but their quality Vs. quantity ratio is way up then android apps.
