Seems Apple is a little late to the party with the iPhone 6, worse its spec/features only equal but in most cases fall below that of the S5.
It might score with the metal case, but personally prefer the feel of the plastic casing, but by the time you have added a protective case it becomes somewhat irrelevant, as does a few mm saving in depth or weight.
The big score for Samsung (for me at least ) is its IP67 rating and its frugal power usage, the only problem is you can forget where the charger is - its used so infrequently!
Maybe Samsung are just on the same design wavelength as me - They seem to have ticked all items on my wish lists waterproof, good battery life, micro SD card and a TV zapper!
Only thing left on my wish list is that the screen folds or slides to make a smaller package!

Apple has been in second place for years now. Samsung will always be 2 steps ahead of them. Its interesting to see them boast about things like the resolution and "Apple Pay". Android has had NFC for YEARS! Apple was first out of the gate but Samsung has better stamina.

Galaxy wins again, only rely on Apple for I Mac.

crap, I've been waiting years for a larger iPhone and this is what they come up with? disappointed! At this point, what in the hell are they doing releasing a phone that's not even 1080p when most other companies are releasing 4K? on to Samsung I guess.

How in this day and age can one compare two computer devices and talk only about the hardware? I own and use both Apple and Android devices and the Apple user interface is years ahead of that provided by Samsung and that is what matters. I could care less about the processor or RAM or other aspects that are only relevant if comparing two Android or two Apple devices and making a choice.
The Samsung appeals to the same mindset as Windows PC's where hardware is thought to compensate for an ineffective OS and UI. It doe not.

samsung features and specs are pretty GIMMICK! only. and not safer at all.. sluggish and poor materials, face the truth. take note: good performance when new or a couple of months only, but poorly and out of perform in long term use. just face the truth again!.... and take note again, Accuracy? poor!!. face the truth again and again.

It's plastic because it's allowing user to swap the battery and add on memory card for your photos and videos...you still have capable to retrieve your photos from sdCard if your phone does not power up anymore... but iPhone cannot.

I wonder will Apple sue Samsung again, because Samsung have better products.

Will, the S5 actually does 4k video. I didn't see that mentioned in your article. +Calson-Apple's user interface hasn't changed.... How is it "years ahead"? And this article DOES compare things outside of hardware. But the hardware that the phone consists of is a huge part of how it works. Things like screen size, processor, and RAM allow the OS to do more. For the iphone I guess it doesn't matter though, because it doesn't really do much different.
