**Why You Should Buy the Samsung Galaxy S5 Over the Apple iPhone 5s**

I want to be completely honest with you guys, I don't even use my phone that much. So reason number 23 here is being able to change the keyboards and this really just does tie in with Android's customizability. I'm not too fond of Samsung's standard keyboard, it's just not for me. I typically put SwiftKey on any device I get because it's a much easier way to type, and there's also swipe found on my device which Apple completely lacks. Not only the keyboard functionality being able to change it, but just being able to swipe different characters together to get a word, it just increases how quickly I can send messages out. I love being able to change all the keyboards that can sometimes be awful on certain devices and in this case, I'm not too fond of it on my S5.

I also don't like remotes, they're just too much on my coffee table. It's annoying and I know you have to have them for just the TV and they're included so that's always great but being able to control my TV with my smartphone which is always with me is fantastic. I love using the WatchOn app to change the channel volume things along those lines, and the Found on Wearables which is also fantastic. But just being able to change the channels with the device you have you're comfortable with, it's just it's bomb, it's fantastic. I love it and Apple's clearly does not feature this.

Having wearable support is also a major reason why I would choose the Samsung Galaxy S5 over the Apple iPhone 5s. Samsung being Samsung, they want to control the market share and the current wearables which are the Gear 2, the Gear 2 Neo, and the Gear Fit. Only work with 17 Samsung Galaxy devices so they're kind of excluding most Android smartphones out on the market. This is a problem of its own and I've talked about this many times but when you buy the Samsung Galaxy S5, you're getting direct access to the Gear Fit, the Gear 2 Neo in the Gear 2. The Gear 2 and Gear Fit have IR blaster technologies which can actually control your TV just your watch, which is even cooler.

Personal experience with wearables has also led me to prefer the Samsung Galaxy S5 over the Apple iPhone 5s. I've talked about this many times but when you buy a smartphone, having access to a wearable that's specifically designed for that device is a major advantage. The Gear 2 and Gear Fit are my favorite wearables out in 2014 from Samsung, they've improved on the Galaxy gear which was just bulky and had a camera on the wrist strap which was somewhat innovative.

Kids mode is also a feature that I think is beneficial to parents who want to control access to their smartphone. If you do own a child or someone you don't really want to give full access to your phone, go ahead and flip on kids mode and it just changes the entire display to a more kid-friendly atmosphere. If you give this to a friend and you switch on kids mode, they might retaliate at you and ask you what the hell is this so kids mode is great if you do own a child and you don't want them getting access to the dialer and potentially calling a number that could be 911 Sealine.

Lastly, Samsung loves to say it's the next big thing, and owning one of their devices allows you to be a part of that. This isn't really the case with the iPhone 5s obviously because they're two rivaling companies but it's a fantastic device either way.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey guys keaton here with techsmartt and today we're gonna be talking about 25 reasons why you should buy the brand new Samsung Galaxy s5 over the iPhone 5s so it's apparent here that these are the two smart phones people go bonkers for because these are the two largest companies who make the two most popular smart phones out on the market so this is because they have the biggest marketing budgets and with Apple having 156 billion dollars in cash they can pretty much market the crap out of their iPhone and Samsung can do the same I just don't know how much money they have so in this two part series here is 25 reasons why you should be buying the brand new Samsung Galaxy s5 so reason number one here is durability so it's pretty evident that the Samsung Galaxy s5 is made out of plastic from portions on the front to the sides which are supposed to somewhat look like Madalyn they're just not by any means to the back which has kind of a new material that is different from the Galaxy Note 3's it feels pretty decent on the back so the benefits of having plastic is in case you are one of those people who does drop their phone and it does land on the back because if it lands on the front you're pretty much gonna be toast and or playing a gambling game but with plastic you do have a greater chance of it not being damaged as you would see on the Apple iPhone 5s being featured in metal so with a plastic backing if it does get scratched and scuffed up to the point where it's unbearable you can go ahead and buy different covers on eBay or just online just go ahead and get that guy replaced as soon as possible so having a plastic back and just plastic design is very beneficial for any smartphone Sonax for reason number two it's being ip67 certified so the six in ip67 stands for it is completely dust proof and the seven stands for it is water resistant up to one meters worth of water for 30 minutes so i did a test pretty much testing out the water portions as the dust was pretty good.you i don't really have too much dust hanging around where i could just put it at the device but the water portion really did surprise me so I went ahead and put the phone for an hour in a pool at 1 meters worth of water and it held up fine it definitely did beat the 30 minute specification found in the box and then I went ahead and threw it on my washer just because and it also held up pretty well so that's not only to attest to the durability of the phone but that attests to the fast motion and why just kind of going and this phone is definitely a trooper and it works perfectly to this day so being ip67 certified it's just one extra layer a durability and also another perk is you can go and take this phone around in the shower if that's something that you want to do and go ahead and finish up that conversation or if you ever spill an accidental cup of coffee or water you're gonna be totally fine just wipe it off as soon as possible and you'll be good to go sup next four reason three here it's the Google Play Store so Google Play is obviously found on Android which is found on most of the smart phones out on the market excluding Windows Phone blackberry Symbian webOS and Apple's iPhones so Google Play Store has always been one of those app stores that I personally like because I do use a lot of Android devices out there and it kind of offers a different experience in the Apple App Store because say a developer makes an application for the LG g2 or that is the device they're using so if an application is made for a specific type of device that means it's actually made for most of the devices running the Google Play Store or just Android as a whole so one of my favorite Twitter clients called Phoenix can be not only used on the galaxy s5 but it can be used on the Galaxy Note 3 the LG g2 motox etc so having the Google Play Store is just a perk because it allows you to communicate different applications between more than one device and the device doesn't even have to be made by Samsung so the Google Play Store definitely rocks it on the galaxy s5 so moving on here is NFC so NFC stands for near field communication so the biggest perk to this is just being able to do things that are further than just these smart phones intentions so for example here say you're going to your local convenience store you're buying a box of Cheerios and you don't want to pull that big old hunky wallet out of your back pocket or wherever you keep it you can go and just tap your phone as long as it is set up with a wallet client that is compatible with the debit card checkout Swiper machine and you're good to go just a tap with NF seen as long as the debit card swiper machine has NFC chips on the inside it'll go and pick that up and you're good to go it's definitely a different way of paying for your goods and I personally use it all the time when it do venture out to Walgreens or places that are compatible with it but another big perk to this is accessories so recently I just saw a device called dimple and it allows for four buttons that you can go ahead and program and you just stick them on the back earphone I think it goes for twenty seven dollars or so and you and program those buttons on the back your phone with just some adhesive and you're all good to go that's something that Apple's iPhone does not feature at all and NFC is just a really cool technology that I wish Apple would feature because it would really take this NFC boom and just make it even bigger than what it is so NFC being available on the galaxy s5 just knocks it out of the park and it's definitely one of my favorite features so for reason number five is the camera so in the samsung camera app there's just tons of features so from being able to change the aspect ratio to the resolution and pictures video and just different modes such as beauty shot and HDR you can do so many more things on the s5 than you can with the 5s and that's just something I personally like as a consumer I like beauty shot I like HDR mode I like being able to change different video resolutions that's just something the 5s truly does lack so if you're someone that wants to get funky with the camera or just wants options such as being able to record in 4k or 1080p just a click of a few buttons the s5 is most definitely for you so for reason 6 & 7 is s-health and the heart rate monitor found on the device so these really do tie into one another and starting with s health here it is just something that Samsung is pushing heavily from the wearable section to the Galaxy s5 the same components are found on both and that is the exact same for the heart rate monitor so within s off I'm a big fan of being able to input my food in for the day and track it and just kind of figure out how much I need to work out to get all that food burned off and the same thing with the heart rate monitor when I'm playing tennis or going for a run I like to know how fast my heart is beating because sometimes I want to get it to a certain rate to where I am burning the most calories or just being at my best in terms of said sport or set activity and the heart rate monitor is pretty accurate on this I saw a video comparing it to a real heart rate monitor that goes for I think three to four hundred dollars and it was really spot-on it was off by one to two beats per minute and that's fantastic because if you do get one of those Samsung wearables and that's another reason we'll talk about in a little bit the heart rate monitor on there works fantastic as well so S Health and the heart rate monitors are big things that I use on a daily basis and I know you guys will like them too so for reason number eight here it is the ultra power saving mode so say you're in a tight scenario where you only a 3% battery left on of ice and you're obviously seeing the device in full pixels colors everything good flip on ultra power saving mode and watch your battery percentage or life to where the phone runs out of juice dramatically increase this is the feature I use every single day when I'm on my way home and I just want to finish up that text message or just want to go and browse the internet quickly to find out a quick fax for homework you just go and flip on that option and you are seriously going to be amazed how much battery life is conserved and how much extra juice you have so what it really does here is it converts the display from colors to being beautiful from all that good jazz to being black and white and I'm not personally against this because as long as I can finish up that text message to my friend or whoever it really is I'm all set to go so ultra power saving mode is a fantastic feature I wish most manufacturers would include on their devices today and one big feature that Apple does lack on their iPhone 5s series and number nine here is widgets and this is the long-term argument that everyone's going to use and it is pretty nice on the galaxy s5 so one big differentiating factor between the s5 and 5s is widgets and that comes with Android and we can thank Android for that so widgets if you did not know or just quick little ways to view information that you kind of view on a daily basis so for example I have a list of things to do each and every day and there's a widget for that so I just swipe to the left on my home screen and I can see my to-do lists quickly versus having to go into the applications than the to-do list and then go and see it there it's just a nice and quick easy way to view what I have to get done and just kind of keeps my productivity up a lot and another big thing that I like is having a weather widget because sometimes I just want to know the weather as soon as I turn my phone honors or before I even unlock the phone and that's just a widget I always use and every single Android device and mainly I like the weather widget because I can see the weather quickly with without unlocking my device and potentially being sidetracked so overall widgets are a big thing found in the s5 and you can do a lot of cool things with them so for reason number 10 here is the display so the galaxy s5 features a 5.1 inch Super AMOLED 1080p display and it looks absolutely gorgeous 5.1 inches in your hand it's probably the maximum in most comfortable for me I like having a big display and having a 4-inch display on the 5s really doesn't cut it what else what else needs to be said bigger is better and I know some phones are phablets and i'd say maybe the notes 5.7 inch display is kind of pushing it but just having a bigger display is so much better at least in my opinion and I just feel like I can do a lot more and can be a little bit more and can multi-task a lot more because multitasking is one of the best features on the s5 and we'll go and talk about that in a little bit later so for reason number 11 its USB 3.0 charging so this is one of the features that is overlooked on most devices because most of them just go ahead and charge via micro USB but USB 3.0 charging is better than USB 2.0 are just the micro USB charging port because it charges 2.4 times faster than just USB 2.0 so what does this mean if you go ahead and plug your Galaxy Note 3 or your Galaxy S 5 into your computer you can actually go and charge and sync information over to your phone a lot quicker than you code which is micro USB but if you're ever in a pinch don't fret and you can go ahead and charge it via micro USB that's one of the coolest portions of having USB 3.0 charging it is actually backwards compatible so that's always a big plus on the s5 so next here is button placement so on the s5 there is the home button just on the middle towards upper middle portion to the right side of the device and it's a lot easier to go ahead and use and just click and just turn your device off if you want to then found on other devices out in the market and I know this is getting very technical here but going to compare it to the HTC m8 think about that having to reach all the way at the top is pretty much a hassle and although some people would argue that the 4-inch display on the Apple iPhone 5s isn't as is hard to reach as you would find on the HTC m8 for some it is difficult and the s5 completely clears that up and that is often something we take for granted as most Android smartphones out there go ahead and do it so for 13 it is the finger printed home button and this seems to be one of the selling points for the s5 but it's kind of one of those things that I am happy to see they've carried over so the Apple iPhone 5s has a simple mechanism of just placing any finger that you want on the home button and it will most oftentimes unlock it as the galaxy s5 does have a different mechanism because of a patent Apple did put on the fingerprinting home button technology so you wouldn't swipe down and I didn't find it that intrusive and I know a lot of people are saying that it is just a hassle but for me when I pull my device out of my pocket I always just rub my finger against the home button I did that with the s4 the s3 and just other devices out there do feature physical home button so having that extra layer of security is nice and I like being able to log into PayPal which is the swipe of my fingerprint and I hope to see being able to log into things with just a fingerprint if devices do adopt it later in 2014 sort of become a thing because it is a lot easier than typing in a password moving on here is battery life so on the Samsung Galaxy s5 there's a twenty eight hundred million power battery and on the Apple iPhone 5s there's a 1570 million power battery you do the math here and you can see that the battery life on the s5 is significantly better and in most cases I was able to just crush it and get through a full day's worth of use and a full day for me is around nine to ten hours and I was able to do that pretty well and if I flip down ultra power saving mode for the last two percent that kind of just boasts the performance and battery life on the device so battery life on this guy completely crushes that compared to Apple's iPhone 5s and hopefully Apple might improve on that later this year but for now the s5 has a fantastic battery life so for a reason 15 it is the s5 display being brighter than the Apple iPhone 5s so go indoors go ahead and switch the brightness all the way up and you're gonna see that the display on the s5 is definitely brighter than on the 5s and that is pretty good because at least for me I'm inside most of my days where I'm at school or just working on different types of videos having a brighter display is just something that I personally enjoy and I always keep my displays than 75% brightness because I find that to be the sweet spot to wear and get all the color accuracy and vividness without sacrificing too much battery life so overall I thought the brightness on the s5 compared to the 5s was just unmatched so for 16 and is having a removable battery this is a perk that I've loved about Samsung for so many years and it's featured on the s5 so unlike most Android phones out there such as the HTC m8 and some other ones they don't have a removable battery this sucks because you can't go and hot-swap batteries if you are someone who does keep a few extra batteries charged when they go out for a trade show or just go out on their average day and they're using your phone for hours on end apples 5s does not feature this and it doesn't appear that they're gonna be featuring that anytime soon so having a removable backing is fantastic so you can go in hot swap batteries if one ever does die and you have one pre charged ready to go coming to reason number 17 it is having microSD expansion so the s5 does feature this and featured it on most Samsung Galaxy S devices and let me just break it down for you so go ahead and buy a 16 gigabyte iPhone you're gonna be paying around $199 to $649 do the same thing with the galaxy s5 you're gonna be paying around the same price that's for 16 gigabyte model go and pop in 128 gigabytes as it does support up to that and you have that much extra storage and don't have to give that money to the manufacturer what that that is the coolest thing ever why isn't Apple doing this this is so freakin cool you don't have to give the manufacturer any more money and you can go ahead and switch different micro SD cards if you're someone who likes to keep a lot of movies on their micro SD card and just wants to watch them in different various locations so for me I have 228 gigabyte cards I know it's a lot and I just keep them in my backpack or wherever I'm going and I just go and hot-swap them when I want to watch different movies or just things along those lines so micro SD storage is a big plus to this Android device in particular and most Android devices out there so up next here is LED notifications so this is kind of one of those things where I use I don't know if you guys use but Ellie's notifications are great because say you get a quick text message and you have the LED notification on you can go and quickly pull your phone out of your pocket if that's where it is notice that the LED light is on and just go ahead and respond to that text message if you'd like or any north location that you do set for the LED the iPhone 5s does not feature this at all and it's kind of one of those features that you either like it or you don't but for me I always have it on the devices that are compatible with it because it's just a quick way to be notified if I do have a new notification or alert coming in versus just blindly checking my phone to see if I did get the new text message or did get the new tweet on who won the basketball game so for reason number 19 here it is being able to access your files a hell of a lot easier without having to download software so go and plug in your s5 into your computer and it will just pop up and be ready to go ahead and take the data off it versus Apple's iPhone 5s where you have to install some software and that's just a big perk for me because if I'm hot swapping computers or just going from different place to different place and want to show a friend a video I took on the s5 and want to be able to give it to them without sharing it because it's a massive video just go ahead and throw it into his computer and you can go ahead and pull it off very quickly without having to download any software this is a big perk if you just want to go ahead and hot-swap videos and not really have to download software and this is definitely a big advantage to the galaxy s5 so for reason number 20 it is Google now I love this feature so much it's gonna come on Android wear and just pretty much take over the world so I think Google now is better than Siri found on any iPhone right now except the iPhone 3GS the 3G and the original iPhone so Google now can pretty much tell you anything whether you want to check to see if you have any appointments for the day whether you have to take off for your next flight if your flights been delayed or when a package is received it's just a fantastic service that they're really pushing out a lot and I love it I love being able to use it it's so intuitive and they're just they're crushing it so Google now it's one of those things we almost have to see and try to believe but when you do you're definitely gonna fall in love with it and having it on the s5 makes it even better so next for reason number 21 it is being able to disable security as a whole so this is completely subjective but sometimes the fingerprint scanner can just be just annoying and you don't want to do it and being able to just disable the security as a whole on the device is quite nice because sometimes I don't want to have to constantly unlock the device and I typically don't get my device to people and friends to where they can just go ahead and access my data and not having a passcode will allow them for that but with the iPhone 5s you need to set a passcode and a fingerprint if you want to so having that security on the 5s is great don't get me wrong but it's just not one of those things I want to be forced to do because sometimes and most often I'm not giving my phone up to where I need a passcode or having my fingerprint to go and unlock the device so being able to just disable security completely kills it on the galaxy s5 so for reason number 22 it is being able to hide default applications how many times do I have to just complain about this on the 5s it's horrible I don't use newsstand I have a specific folder for applications that I don't use and just don't really like and I like how Google incorporated the dialer and the messaging to just hangouts and I think Apple should do the same because I personally don't use the dialer at all on the phone so being able to hide applications on the s5 is great because there can be some bloatware found with the carrier and just being able to X that out immediately on the home screen allows you to have a lot more freedom and just gives you a much more pleasurable experience so Apple please sometime in the future go ahead and allow us to just take newsstand out because I just I don't even use it I'm being completely honest so reason number 23 here is being able to change the keyboards and this really just does tie in with androids customizability so I'm not too fond of these standard Samsung keyboard and I typically put SwiftKey on any device I get and it's just a much more easier way to type and also there's swipe found on the device which Apple completely lacks not only the keyboard functionality being able to change it but just being able to swipe different characters together to get a word it just increases how quickly I send messages out and I love being able to change all the keyboards that can sometimes be awful on said devices and in this case I'm not too fond of it on the s5 and be able to port different types of keyboards made for different types of functionalities and just increasing your productivity so moving on to reason number 24 here it is the IR blaster so for me I don't like remotes I just think they're just too much on my coffee table it's annoying and I know you have to have them for just the TV and they're included so that's always great but being able to control my TV with my smart phone which is always with me is fantastic I like the watch on app so I can go ahead and change the channel volume things along those lines and I know the found on the wearables which is also fantastic but just being able to change the channels with the device you have you're comfortable with and just having it all in one it's just it's bomb it's fantastic I love it and Apple's clearly does not feature this and maybe this year with the iPhone 6 will get IR blaster technology probably not they'll make us buy an accessory for it so for reason number 25 here and pretty much wrapping up the entire video it's having wearable support so Samsung being Samsung they want to control the market share and the current wearables which are the gear 2 the gear 2 neo and the gear fit only work with 17 Samsung Galaxy devices so they're kind of excluding most Android smartphones out on the market which is a problem of its own and I've talked about this many times but when you buy the Samsung Galaxy s5 you're getting direct access to gear fit the gear 2 neo in the gear 2 and the gear 2 neo and gear fit have IR blaster technologies you can actually control your TV just your watch which is even cooler and I like having access to the wearables and personally the gear 2 and gear fit are my favorite wearables out in 2014 from Samsung and it appears they've improved on the Galaxy gear which was just bulky and had a camera on the wrist strap which was somewhat innovative and Apple's iPhone 5s has no wearables so maybe we'll see the iWatch this year I personally do hope so of course there's honorable mentions here and one of them is kids mode so if you do own a child or someone who you don't really want access to the full smartphone go and flip on kids mode and it just changes the entire display to a more kid-friendly atmosphere so if you give this to a friend and you switch on kids mode they might retaliate at you and just ask you what the hell is this so kids mode is great if you do own a child and you don't want them getting access to the dialer and potentially calling a number that could be 911 Sealine so I like how Samsung is kind of broadening their wings and allowing kids to even get funky with the Galaxy s5 and for the second honorable mention here which sort of is a feature but you're owning the next big thing so Samsung loves to say it's the next big thing and you get to be a part of it with the galaxy s5 so that's not really the case with the iPhone 5s obviously because they're two rivaling companies but it's a fantastic device either way thank you guys so much for watching 25 reasons why you should buy the brand new Samsung Galaxy s5 over the Apple iPhone 5s if you guys enjoyed this video and want more series like this go ahead and throw me a like down below and while you're at it drop me a comment down below letting me know what is your favorite reason and if you are going to choose the s5 for some of the reasons in here and let me know what those reasons are finally go and subscribe to the channel to be notified when a brand new 25 reasons is out because trust me guys we'll be doing a lot more of these because I really do enjoy telling you guys why you should buy a phone over another and it kind of goes a little bit outside the bounds of just as standard with you so thank you guys once again and I look forward to seeing you in my next videohey guys keaton here with techsmartt and today we're gonna be talking about 25 reasons why you should buy the brand new Samsung Galaxy s5 over the iPhone 5s so it's apparent here that these are the two smart phones people go bonkers for because these are the two largest companies who make the two most popular smart phones out on the market so this is because they have the biggest marketing budgets and with Apple having 156 billion dollars in cash they can pretty much market the crap out of their iPhone and Samsung can do the same I just don't know how much money they have so in this two part series here is 25 reasons why you should be buying the brand

having plastic is in case you are one of those people who does drop their phone and it does land on the back because if it lands on the front you're pretty much gonna be toast and or playing a gambling game but with plastic you do have a greater chance of it not being damaged as you would see on the Apple iPhone 5s being featured in metal so with a plastic backing if it does get scratched and scuffed up to the point where it's unbearable you can go ahead and buy different covers on eBay or just online just go ahead and get that guy replaced as soon as possible so having a plastic back

further than just these smart phones intentions so for example here say you're going to your local convenience store you're buying a box of Cheerios and you don't want to pull that big old hunky wallet out of your back pocket or wherever you keep it you can go and just tap your phone as long as it is set up with a wallet client that is compatible with the debit card checkout Swiper machine

beauty shot I like HDR mode I like being able to change different video resolutions that's just something the 5s truly does lack so if you're someone that wants to get funky with the camera or just wants options such as being able to record in 4k or 1080p just a click of a few buttons the s5 is most definitely for you so for reason 6 & 7 is s-health and the heart rate monitor found on the device so these really do tie into one another and starting with s health here it is just something that Samsung is pushing heavily from the wearable section to the Galaxy s5 the same components are found on both and that is the exact same for the heart rate monitor so within s off I'm a big fan of being able to input my food in for the day and track it and just kind of figure out how much I need to work out to get all that food burned off and the same thing with the heart rate monitor when I'm playing tennis or going for a run I like to know how fast my heart is beating because sometimes I want to get it to a certain rate to where I am burning the most calories or just being at my best in terms of said sport or set activity and the heart rate monitor is pretty accurate on this I saw a video comparing it to a real heart rate monitor that goes for I think three to four hundred dollars and it was really spot-on it was off by one to two beats per minute and that's fantastic because if you do get one of those Samsung wearables and that's another reason we'll talk about in a little bit the heart rate monitor on there works fantastic as well so S Health and the heart rate monitors are big things that I use on a daily basis and I know you guys will like them too so for reason number eight here it is the ultra power saving mode so say you're in a tight scenario where you only a 3% battery left on of ice and you're obviously seeing the device in full pixels colors everything good flip on ultra power saving mode and watch your battery percentage or life to where the phone runs out of juice dramatically increase this is the feature I use every single day when I'm on my way home and I just want to finish up that text message or just want to go and browse the internet quickly to find out a quick fax for homework you just go and flip on that option and you are seriously going to be amazed how much battery life is conserved and how much extra juice you have so what it really does here is it converts the display from colors to being beautiful from all that good jazz to being black and white and I'm not personally against this because as long as I can finish up that text message to my friend or whoever it really is I'm all set to go so ultra power saving mode is a fantastic feature I wish most manufacturers would include on their devices today and one big feature that Apple does lack on their iPhone 5s series and number nine here is widgets and this is the long-term argument that everyone's going to use and it is pretty nice on the galaxy s5 so one big differentiating factor between the s5 and 5s is widgets and that comes with Android and we can thank Android for that so widgets if you did not know or just quick little ways to view information that you kind of view on a daily basis so for example I have a list of things to do each and every day and there's a widget for that so I just swipe to the left on my home screen and I can see my to-do lists quickly versus having to go into the applications than the to-do list and then go and see it there it's just a nice and quick easy way to view what I have to get done and just kind of keeps my productivity up a lot and another big thing that I like is having a weather widget because sometimes I just want to know the weather as soon as I turn my phone honors or before I even unlock the phone and that's just a widget I always use and every single Android device and mainly I like the weather widget because I can see the weather quickly with without unlocking my device and potentially being sidetracked so overall widgets are a big thing found in the s5 and you can do a lot of cool things with them so for reason number 10 here is the display so the galaxy s5 features a 5.1 inch Super AMOLED 1080p display and it looks absolutely gorgeous 5.1 inches in your hand it's probably the maximum in most comfortable for me I like having a big display and having a 4-inch display on the 5s really doesn't cut it what else what else needs to be said bigger is better and I know some phones are phablets and i'd say maybe the notes 5.7 inch display is kind of pushing it but just having a bigger display is so much better at least in my opinion and I just feel like I can do a lot more and can be a little bit more and can multi-task a lot more because multitasking is one of the best features on the s5 and we'll go and talk about that in a little bit later so for reason number 11 its USB 3.0 charging so this is one of the features that is overlooked on most devices because most of them just go ahead and charge via micro USB but USB 3.0 charging is better than USB 2.0 are just the micro USB charging port because it charges 2.4 times faster than just USB 2.0 so what does this mean if you go ahead and plug your Galaxy Note 3 or your Galaxy S 5 into your computer you can actually go and charge and sync information over to your phone a lot quicker than you code which is micro USB but if you're ever in a pinch don't fret and you can go ahead and charge it via micro USB that's one of the coolest portions of having USB 3.0 charging it is actually backwards compatible so that's always a big plus on the s5 so next here is button placement so on the s5 there is the home button just on the middle towards upper middle portion to the right side of the device and it's a lot easier to go ahead and use and just click and just turn your device off if you want to then found on other devices out in the market and I know this is getting very technical here but going to compare it to the HTC m8 think about that having to reach all the way at the top is pretty much a hassle and although some people would argue that the 4-inch display on the Apple iPhone 5s isn't as is hard to reach as you would find on the HTC m8 for some it is difficult and the s5 completely clears that up and that is often something we take for granted as most Android smartphones out there go ahead and do it so for 13 it is the finger printed home button and this seems to be one of the selling points for the s5 but it's kind of one of those things that I am happy to see they've carried over so the Apple iPhone 5s has a simple mechanism of just placing any finger that you want on the home button and it will most oftentimes unlock it as the galaxy s5 does have a different mechanism because of a patent Apple did put on the fingerprinting home button technology so you wouldn't swipe down and I didn't find it that intrusive and I know a lot of people are saying that it is just a hassle but for me when I pull my device out of my pocket I always just rub my finger against the home button I did that with the s4 the s3 and just other devices out there do feature physical home button so having that extra layer of security is nice and I like being able to log into PayPal which is the swipe of my fingerprint and I hope to see being able to log into things with just a fingerprint if devices do adopt it later in 2014 sort of become a thing because it is a lot easier than typing in a password moving on here is battery life so on the Samsung Galaxy s5 there's a twenty eight hundred million power battery and on the Apple iPhone 5s there's a 1570 million power battery you do the math here and you can see that the battery life on the s5 is significantly better and in most cases I was able to just crush it and get through a full day's worth of use and a full day for me is around nine to ten hours and I was able to do that pretty well and if I flip down ultra power saving mode for the last two percent that kind of just boasts the performance and battery life on the device so battery life on this guy completely crushes that compared to Apple's iPhone 5s and hopefully Apple might improve on that later this year but for now the s5 has a fantastic battery life so for a reason 15 it is the s5 display being brighter than the Apple iPhone 5s so go indoors go ahead and switch the brightness all the way up and you're gonna see that the display on the s5 is definitely brighter than on the 5s and that is pretty good because at least for me I'm inside most of my days where I'm at school or just working on different types of videos having a brighter display is just something that I personally enjoy and I always keep my displays than 75% brightness because I find that to be the sweet spot to wear and get all the color accuracy and vividness without sacrificing too much battery life so overall I thought the brightness on the s5 compared to the 5s was just unmatched so for 16 and is having a removable battery this is a perk that I've loved about Samsung for so many years and it's featured on the s5 so unlike most Android phones out there such as the HTC m8 and some other ones they don't have a removable battery this sucks because you can't go and hot-swap batteries if you are someone who does keep a few extra batteries charged when they go out for a trade show or just go out on their average day and they're using your phone for hours on end apples 5s does not feature this and it doesn't appear that they're gonna be featuring that anytime soon so having a removable backing is fantastic so you can go in hot swap batteries if one ever does die and you have one pre charged ready to go coming to reason number 17 it is having microSD expansion so the s5 does feature this and featured it on most Samsung Galaxy S devices and let me just break it down for you so go ahead and buy a 16 gigabyte iPhone you're gonna be paying around $199 to $649 do the same thing with the galaxy s5 you're gonna be paying around the same price that's for 16 gigabyte model go and pop in 128 gigabytes as it does support up to that and you have that much extra storage and don't have to give that money to the manufacturer what that that is the coolest thing ever why isn't Apple doing this this is so freakin cool you don't have to give the manufacturer any more money and you can go ahead and switch different micro SD cards if you're someone who likes to keep a lot of movies on their micro SD card and just wants to watch them in different various locations so for me I have 228 gigabyte cards I know it's a lot and I just keep them in my backpack or wherever I'm going and I just go and hot-swap them when I want to watch different movies or just things along those lines so micro SD storage is a big plus to this Android device in particular and most Android devices out there so up next here is LED notifications so this is kind of one of those things where I use I don't know if you guys use but Ellie's notifications are great because say you get a quick text message and you have the LED notification on you can go and quickly pull your phone out of your pocket if that's where it is notice that the LED light is on and just go ahead and respond to that text message if you'd like or any north location that you do set for the LED the iPhone 5s does not feature this at all and it's kind of one of those features that you either like it or you don't but for me I always have it on the devices that are compatible with it because it's just a quick way to be notified if I do have a new notification or alert coming in versus just blindly checking my phone to see if I did get the new text message or did get the new tweet on who won the basketball game so for reason number 19 here it is being able to access your files a hell of a lot easier without having to download software so go and plug in your s5 into your computer and it will just pop up and be ready to go ahead and take the data off it versus Apple's iPhone 5s where you have to install some software and that's just a big perk for me because if I'm hot swapping computers or just going from different place to different place and want to show a friend a video I took on the s5 and want to be able to give it to them without sharing it because it's a massive video just go ahead and throw it into his computer and you can go ahead and pull it off very quickly without having to download any software this is a big perk if you just want to go ahead and hot-swap videos and not really have to download software and this is definitely a big advantage to the galaxy s5 so for reason number 20 it is Google now I love this feature so much it's gonna come on Android wear and just pretty much take over the world so I think Google now is better than Siri found on any iPhone right now except the iPhone 3GS the 3G and the original iPhone so Google now can pretty much tell you anything whether you want to check to see if you have any appointments for the day whether you have to take off for your next flight if your flights been delayed or when a package is received it's just a fantastic service that they're really pushing out a lot and I love it I love being able to use it it's so intuitive and they're just they're crushing it so Google now it's one of those things we almost have to see and try to believe but when you do you're definitely gonna fall in love with it and having it on the s5 makes it even better so next for reason number 21 it is being able to disable security as a whole so this is completely subjective but sometimes the fingerprint scanner can just be just annoying and you don't want to do it and being able to just disable the security as a whole on the device is quite nice because sometimes I don't want to have to constantly unlock the device and I typically don't get my device to people and friends to where they can just go ahead and access my data and not having a passcode will allow them for that but with the iPhone 5s you need to set a passcode and a fingerprint if you want to so having that security on the 5s is great don't get me wrong but it's just not one of those things I want to be forced to do because sometimes and most often I'm not giving my phone up to where I need a passcode or having my fingerprint to go and unlock the device so being able to just disable security completely kills it on the galaxy s5 so for reason number 22 it is being able to hide default applications how many times do I have to just complain about this on the 5s it's horrible I don't use newsstand I have a specific folder for applications that I don't use and just don't really like and I like how Google incorporated the dialer and the messaging to just hangouts and I think Apple should do the same because I personally don't use the dialer at all on the phone so being able to hide applications on the s5 is great because there can be some bloatware found with the carrier and just being able to X that out immediately on the home screen allows you to have a lot more freedom and just gives you a much more pleasurable experience so Apple please sometime in the future go ahead and allow us to just take newsstand out because I just I don't even use it I'm being completely honest so reason number 23 here is being able to change the keyboards and this really just does tie in with androids customizability so I'm not too fond of these standard Samsung keyboard and I typically put SwiftKey on any device I get and it's just a much more easier way to type and also there's swipe found on the device which Apple completely lacks not only the keyboard functionality being able to change it but just being able to swipe different characters together to get a word it just increases how quickly I send messages out and I love being able to change all the keyboards that can sometimes be awful on said devices and in this case I'm not too fond of it on the s5 and be able to port different types of keyboards made for different types of functionalities and just increasing your productivity so moving on to reason number 24 here it is the IR blaster so for me I don't like remotes I just think they're just too much on my coffee table it's annoying and I know you have to have them for just the TV and they're included so that's always great but being able to control my TV with my smart phone which is always with me is fantastic I like the watch on app so I can go ahead and change the channel volume things along those lines and I know the found on the wearables which is also fantastic but just being able to change the channels with the device you have you're comfortable with and just having it all in one it's just it's bomb it's fantastic I love it and Apple's clearly does not feature this and maybe this year with the iPhone 6 will get IR blaster technology probably not they'll make us buy an accessory for it so for reason number 25 here and pretty much wrapping up the entire video it's having wearable support so Samsung being Samsung they want to control the market share and the current wearables which are the gear 2 the gear 2 neo and the gear fit only work with 17 Samsung Galaxy devices so they're kind of excluding most Android smartphones out on the market which is a problem of its own and I've talked about this many times but when you buy the Samsung Galaxy s5 you're getting direct access to gear fit the gear 2 neo in the gear 2 and the gear 2 neo and gear fit have IR blaster technologies you can actually control your TV just your watch which is even cooler and I like having access to the wearables and personally the gear 2 and gear fit are my favorite wearables out in 2014 from Samsung and it appears they've improved on the Galaxy gear which was just bulky and had a camera on the wrist strap which was somewhat innovative and Apple's iPhone 5s has no wearables so maybe we'll see the iWatch this year I personally do hope so of course there's honorable mentions here and one of them is kids mode so if you do own a child or someone who you don't really want access to the full smartphone go and flip on kids mode and it just changes the entire display to a more kid-friendly atmosphere so if you give this to a friend and you switch on kids mode they might retaliate at you and just ask you what the hell is this so kids mode is great if you do own a child and you don't want them getting access to the dialer and potentially calling a number that could be 911 Sealine so I like how Samsung is kind of broadening their wings and allowing kids to even get funky with the Galaxy s5 and for the second honorable mention here which sort of is a feature but you're owning the next big thing so Samsung loves to say it's the next big thing and you get to be a part of it with the galaxy s5 so that's not really the case with the iPhone 5s obviously because they're two rivaling companies but it's a fantastic device either
