compare phones
What are the differences between the S4 and the S5?
I've had both phones and overall I prefer the s4 over the s5. The biggest difference between the two is the battery life, the s5 is better. The camera I believe has the same specs in both phones and both phones take great pics. The processor in the s5 is better although I haven't seen much of a difference in loading web pages, emails, etc. The design of the s4 in my opinion is way better in every way. The s5 has a very cheap back, mine was always in a case and I am very picky with my phones, nobody ever touches my phones and somehow the bottom corner of the back cover chipped off. Also the part that covers the charging port on the s5 is very flimsy and can easily break off although mine never did. I also hated the plastic trim on the s5. The trim on the s4 looks much more classy. The difference between screen size is practically nothing only 0.01 of an inch but the s4 is a smaller phone which I like. The new features that cane with the s5 in my opinion are not all that great. I hate the fingerprint scanner on the s5 and half the time it didn't work.....it's not a true fingerprint scanner. You have to slide your finger print over the home button. If you're debating between the two, coming from someone who has had both and the note 4, two galaxy tablets, a samsung smart tv, smart watch and soundbar, sells phones for a living and is a huge samsung freak, go with the s4. You also can't beat the price of $249.99 with no contract.
