Samsung Galaxy S4: 7.7mm thick, plastic back
Apple iPhone 5 - 7.6mm thick, aluminum back
Though the Galaxy 4 has a much larger screen than the elongated iPhone 5, it's not noticeably thicker which is great for pockets!
Samsung Galaxy S4: 1080p, 4.99-inch Super AMOLED displayScreen:
Apple iPhone 5: 1136 x 640, 4-inch IPS display
The screen size and resolution is where the Galaxy S4 shines. Full HD and almost an inch more display space makes editing photos and Web browsing that much easier to do on the go.
Let's take a break from the specs and focus on price. There's a ton of contract offers to sort out that change sporadically. Right now you can purchase a 16GB iPhone 5 from AT&T for $200 with a 2-year contract. Same price, same storage, and same contract for the Galaxy S4.
Let's check out some under the hood specs.
Galaxy S4: Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 1.9GHz CPU, 2GB RAM
iPhone 5: Apple A6 dual-core 1.2GHz, 1GB RAM
It's not really fair to compare the processors because the Galaxy S4 was released months after the iPhone 5. Expect the iPhone 5S to match a lot of the processor specs as the Galaxy S4. Still the Galaxy S4 is the clear winner...for now.
Camera:
Galaxy S4: 13-megapixel, LED flash
iPhone 5: 8-megapixel, LED flash
Again, the camera is another feature that seems a little outdated for the iPhone 5. Expect the iPhone 5S at the very least, to match the Galaxy S4's 13-megapixel range.
Software:
Samsung Galaxy S4: Android 4.2 with TouchWiz
Apple iPhone 5: iOS 6.1
As far as operating systems go, use your gut. Whatever seems more intuitve to you choose. If you've grown up using the iOS from Apple and want a change, try out Android. If you're a total Apple fanboy and love the curves and playful aesthetic of iOS, stick with the iPhone.
