The iPhone 5S has relatively severe edges, giving it a more angular feel in-hand. The iPhone 5S feels like the more carefully engineered phone in person, but there are advantages to the plastic design of the Galaxy S4.
Its rear is removable, giving you easy access to the battery. Few people take around spare batteries with them, but it also makes replacing the battery much easier, should it fail. The Home button also acts as a fingerprint sensor that scans a digit as a means of identification. The closest thing the Galaxy S4 has to this is face detection. The sensor is just microns thick and scans your finger at a resolution of dpi. Apple has said the Touch ID sensor will never be available to third-party apps, limiting it to system-level things like unlocking your phone.
In the future we expect it to be able to route you through to different user profiles. But at present it just unlocks the phone. It scans for faces using the front camera. The Galaxy S4 has a fairly good front camera, meaning it can find faces fairly reliably, but the phone can easily be unlocked using a photo of the owner, or by someone that looks similar. Face Unlock judges who a person is based on their facial geometry — primarily the positioning of their eyes and mouth.
You even have to correctly position your face for it to work. The Samsung Galaxy S4 actually has higher pixel density despite using a much larger display. It has a 5-inch p-resolution screen. In actual use, we find the larger screen of the Galaxy S4 much better for watching movies and TV episodes on than an iPhone 5S-size screen.
The screen technologies these phones use are completely differnet. The graphics processing unit GPU has a higher clock speed. It can support faster memory, which will give quicker system performance.

The number of megapixels determines the resolution of the images captured with the main camera. A higher megapixel count means that the camera is capable of capturing more details. However, the megapixel count is not the only important element determining the quality of an image. The number of megapixels determines the resolution of the images captured with the front camera. A higher megapixel count means that the front camera is capable of capturing more details, an essential factor for taking high-resolution selfies.
The maximum resolution available for videos shot with the main camera. Although it may be possible to choose among other frame rates, those recordings usually have lower resolutions. With a wider aperture the sensor can capture more light, helping to avoid blur by enabling a faster shutter speed. It also provides a shallow depth of field, allowing you to blur the background to focus attention on the subject.
A dual-tone flash has LED lights with different color temperatures, delivering a better color balance to photos and videos. A BSI backside illuminated sensor is a camera image sensor which captures better quality images in poor lighting conditions, and offers better overall sharpness and image quality.
When recording movies they stay focussed and sharp. Slow-motion is an artistic video effect that makes time seem to go slower.
It is achieved by recording a video at a higher frame-rate than the standard playback rate of 24fps or 30fps. Depending on camera capabilities, frame rates for slow-motion videos vary between 60fps and fps. It can automatically shoot pictures with a higher dynamic range HDR. Audio 1. With a standard mini jack socket, you can use the device with most headphones. A built-in FM radio tuner allows you to listen to most of the live-broadcasted FM radio stations without using the internet.
More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise. Battery 1. Battery power, or battery capacity, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store.
More battery power can be an indication of longer battery life. The manufacturer offers a branded wireless charging kit. The other notable difference is that the Galaxy S4 is plastic, while the iPhone 5 is aluminium and scuffable! Ultimately, though, it comes down to personal taste. The Galaxy S4, with Android 4.

This makes it much trickier to grasp reliably than the iPhone, which is intended to fit comfortably into the hand of just about anyone.
When changing the design from the iPhone 4S to the iPhone 5, Apple elongated the screen rather than making it any wider for precisely this reason.

The phone uses a removable plastic battery cover that is frequently criticised for being flimsy or cheap-feeling. There are a few upsides to a removable cover, though.
