iPhone 5S vs Samsung S4 (Battle of the Smartphones!)

In the following smartphone showdown, we will debate which smartphone is the best; Apple's iPhone 5 or Samsung's Galaxy S4.

When deciding which phone to go for, you have to first look at the prices. iPhone 5S prices start at a whopping £549.99. On the other hand, the Samsung S4 starts at around £420. As a result, due to the price range, you could have already made your decision. However, if you haven't, it is important to note that the iPhone 5S is constructed out of laser cut sapphire crystal whereas the Samsung S4 is completely based around plastic much like it's predecessors.

Also, what phone you decide to get will also base on what you are going to be using the phone for. For example, the Samsung S4 is better for movie watching and surfing the net with it's massive 5 inch screen. On the contrary, the iPhone is better for playing games has has a better security level. Without doubt the Apple app store is the best because it contains millions of apps,games, movies and more. Due to fingerprinting tecnology, with the iPhone 5S you can lock your phone with your fingerprint. However, the S4 boasts other gimmicks such as being able to scroll down pages on the internet with your eyes and a face recognition system which you can lock you phone with.

When it comes down to battery life, the S4 is much better than the 5S. When used at an average rate, the 5S lasted 1 and a half days before needing a charge whereas the S4 outlasted it by quite a margin!

Overall, if you have the money and will be using the phone for mostly gaming and general use of apps, go for the Apple's iPhone 5s. However, if you will be using the internet more often then not on the phone and watching movies then go for the Samsungs S4!
