I have the iPhone 4s right now, and i think it's time for a new phone because i have had it for nearly 2 years. I heard the Galaxy s4 has a way better camera, is faster and is just better. What do you think I should get?
Answer
Sure the GS4 has some better specs, but that means nothing. If you go in Youtube and watch some speed test of the GS4 Vs. the iPhone 5 you will see that, in real world use, the iPhone performs better jailbroken, than a GS4 does out the box. Jailbreaking deals a huge hit to CPU processing speed, however all the useless features that Samsung shoves its phone full of take a ever bigger hit to the CPU speed of the GS4. If they had put specs that matched that of a iPhone 5 than the phone would run slow as fu*k. I mean it would take a solid hour to boot up, and 5 mins to open the simplest of apps. This is because Samsung packs there phone full of, what I like to call, "novelty features". This is because they are features that are the equivalent of watching a cat do a backflip, its cool, but than it gets boring and old. I owned a GS3 and I just ended up disabling all the so called "features" because I never used them and my phone ran slower than a fat man with a weight belt tied around him. Bottom line the GS4 runs slower than the iPhone 5 in real life usage, even though it has better specs. Now on to the camera. In the end this all came down to personal preference. If you want photos that look sharp on your phone display than the S4 camera is better. If you want Photos with better colour saturation, and depth than go for the iPhone 5. If you want a phone that takes good photos in low light than the HTC One is the best. Personally, I want my photos to have better colour, and depth. The photos on the S4 look kinda washed out, but still sharp. Sheer MegaPixles does not determine the ability of a camera. On the topic of the display. The S4 does pack a full 1080p display, giving you 441 ppi, for all of you unfamiliar on the topic, that is very, VERY good. However, like with the camera, sheer ppi does not determine the quality of a display. It's all about pixle placement, and even though the iPhone 5 has a ppi that is nearly half of that of a GS4, the build quality of the display is better. In my opinion, between the two displays I would have to say its a tie. The GS4 has a sharp display, but the colour saturation and brightness really need to improve. The iPhone 5 displays colours much better, and is quite a large amount brighter than a GS4. Because of this, I decided it was a draw between the two displays. Both good in there respectable areas, however both lacking. Not to mention the GS4 has a huge screen. I disliked the screen of the S3, and they made it bigger on the S4.Now, if you drop your phone allot than your DEFIANTLY gonna want to go with the iPhone 5. The build quality of that phone is unmatched by any phone, except *maybe* the HTC One. Watch a drop test of the iPhone 5 Vs. GS4 on youtube. They dropped the iPhone from 10 FT twice and ran over it with a f*cking car and the worst it suffered was some minor scratches and dents. Where the GS4 got totalled and was barley working before the first 10 FT drop that finally finished it off (ill link the video in sources). If your gonna drop the phone allot get the iPhone 5. Much better build quality and much more durable. For the overall user experience of the phone, in my opinion, the iPhone 5 has a better overall experience of real world use. As I explained, it will perform faster, and arguably take better photos. My friend got a GS4 to write a review for, Samsung paid him extra to write a good review, and let him keep the phone. He gave it to me to use, and I have to say.... it was not that good. I often found myself going to do something I usually do on my iPhone and went "Oh, wait..." when I realized it could not do it. The GS4 often times was not "there for me" when I needed it to be. I found it took a long time to load webpages over LTE, and my apps and games I always use are not there, as there not all on Google Play. It was still better than my old BlackBerry, and iPhone 4. But I have to say, It was not better than my iPhone 5. The display on the iPhone was brighter, and I always found I was squinting at the screen because, even on full brightness, it was too dim. The battery sucked. Honestly I disabled all the "Novelty Features" to speed it up and improve the battery a little bit, and then it almost matched my iPhone. To top it all off, I could not stand the plastic backing of the GS4. My hands got all sweaty and I dropped it all the time (and as we know, this phone has amazing durability! (yes, that was sarcasm)) and the plastic never felt like the "Premium" aluminium of the iPhone (or the glass of my old iPhone 4 for that matter.) The GS4 is also thicker and heavier than the iPhone 5. Not by much, but enough that you notice it.
Finally, it comes down to the fact that its a phone. Pick one and dont diss other people because of there opinions. Mine is that iPhone is better. But in the end its totally up to you.

Answer
For iPhone 5 v.s. the Galaxy S4. The S4 is a clear winner. The Galaxy S4 also has a higher resolution at a Full HD 1080 x 1920 creating a pixel density of 441ppi. Meanwhile the iPhone 5 has a Retina quality of 640 x 1136, a pixel density of 326ppi. The iPhone 5 has a 1440mAh (5.45Wh) battery which is non-removable while the Galaxy S4 has a larger, and removable, 2600mAh (9.6Wh) battery.
The Galaxy S4 offers a higher resolution front facing camera at 2Mp compared to 1.2Mp. It can record video in Full HD 1080p while the iPhone 5 is limited to 720p.
It has more features than than the iPhoneâs camera which makes it even better.
a. Dual shot- take photos from both cameras so that you can include the photographer in a photo
b. Photo with audio message- record a message before or after a photo to add to a photo
c. Eraser shot- can remove unwanted moving content
d. Drama shot- takes pictures of a moving object and puts the moving object through the whole picture
The Galaxy S4 runs circles around the iPhone 5 when it comes to features, starting with how you interact with the device.
- Air Gestures lets you flip through photos or answer the phone just by waving your hand in front of the S4 (though you have to be close to the screen).
- With Smart Scroll, you can also scroll through a Web article just by tilting the device in your hand or tilting your head.
- Air View is a pretty nifty feature on the S4, which enables you to preview content (such as an email) by hovering your finger just above the display.
- With the WatchOn app, the S4 leverages its built-in IR blaster to control your TV. The app also recommends shows you may want to watch, and even integrates with services like Netflix.
- With Group Play you can get your friends together and let them enjoy your music simultaneously. Wirelessly connect multiple Samsung Galaxy S4 phones to play games and share photos and documents.
- LED indicator- A small LED on the top of your device shows what notifications you got by distinguishing them with colours(For example blue for email, green for charged) This means you can see what the notification was about without putting your screen on. It is extremely useful feature for those than hate wasting time.
- Smartstay- won't turn the screen off if you are still looking at it.
- Smartpause- pauses a video when you turn around and turns it back on when you turn back
- You can record the soundtrack to your photos with this phone so you can remember what was said, played, and heard, not just what it looked like. It adds another layer of excitement to help you relive and share every moment of each picture much more vividly.
Still not impressed with the S4â²s versatility? It also offers S Translate for translating multiple languages (speech and text) and an S Health app for keeping track of your fitness.
So, in the end, the Samsung Galaxy S4 is a clear winner. With all of its specs including batter life, camera quality, display, and all of its features, it is safe to say that the S4 trumps the iPhone 5 in more ways than one. I definitely recommend getting an S4 and I actually plan on picking mine up later this week. Hope I helped!
