I haven't replied on NL in a long time till I saw this thread. I also think you are being bias about the talks of what the samsung can do. I also am sure you know that there are a lot of things the iPhone can do, not just the 5s but every other iPhone. You talk of the group play, I am sorry to tell you, I play games with my iPhone 5 with people from all over the world, and I don't think I need to go further to explain things to you about samsung galaxy and the iPhone. They are both great phones, but as long as my phone is virus free, I have nothing to worry about, and since the samsung galaxy isn't virus free, please explain that to me. Take a lot at the retrospect of other samsung phones and that of iPhones, and see the difference. Samsung stole some ideas which i am sure you don't know about. The GDP of your country is about 400billon, that of the iPhone is 500 billion. Larger than any other organisation you can imagine. I don't know why I would want to use a phone that hasn't been prospective right from time; but I guess you can't explain why Adobe and iPhone has a linkage together, you just talk without getting real facts. Does the samsung have an interconnectivity with iPhone? You have a phone, understand their concept before comparing.

Bro, Samsung S3 still rocks... Thats what I also use and its very close to S4 just the 2GB RAM, 5", AirView and some slight difference

i own a 2gbram version of the s3 and an iphone 5s, i love the s3 more.

Good

eiknarf14: I hv a samsung note3 and iphone 5s n I prefer my iPhone anytime anyday . . .

This one doesn't know how to lie at all, your post can only be true if you are a backward person.

No big difference between s3 and s4, my s3 even has 2GB ram cos its the LTE edition 4G.

texazzpete: lol. Silly article. Throw in all the gimmicky, me-too features of the Galaxy S4 and use that as a 'my phone is better than yours argument'?

Some of the points are downright silly. If you buy an iPhone 5S, you KNOW it has a 4 inch screen and you like that screen size just fine. Claiming an advantage for the S4 because it has a one inch bigger screen is just lame.

I have an iPhone 5S and a Galaxy S4. Both complement each other. For me, the main differences lies with the difference between iOS and Android. One is more open, one is a closed source, walled garden ecosystem. Each has their advantages and disadvantages. Bringing up stuff like the IR blaster and NFC that hardly anyone uses is just funny

+1
apple will never burden it's customers with useless gimmicks like smart pause, air view etc.
Touch ID rocks.

Yes, you need to configure it depending on which network you wanna use though... Check the configurations I have on my Tech Blog - www.stevenbergy.com.ng . You are free to ask more questions if you need help

Wow but my S3 is 4G ooooh and it still has 1GB RAM...

Apple for life!!!

You may say whatever you like, it's your opinion. I use both platforms. I have a Macbook Pro, ipad, rocking Note 3 now. I have used iPhone 3GS,s2,note 2,. I. Kind of still prefer iPhone. My note 3 still lags with it 3GB, likewise s2. IPhone runs smoothly.

Well it depends on the end user and how technology savvy the person is. Before I go further, I will base my premise on the following analogy, to safely arrive at a logical standpoint on which is better.

If Samsung s4 is rated as the best android device, then permit me to base some of my points on the android platform

inbuilt app:

SGS4 screen mirroring
My phone is connected to unlimited 3g network on Three, as a result of which I watch most of my videos on my Phone. with the screen mirroring, I can initiate the video playing on my mobile device and watch it on my Samsung LED TV. With apple, you will need apple tv connected to your TV, and that in itself is unreliable and requires some funny connection cables.

SGS4 smart pause
Video playback pauses when i look away from the screen and resumes when I look at the screen. Iphone?.........


Android apps on SGS4
1. Ceberus
With ceberus the posibility is endless in tracking your missing device. Let me point out a few:
- Get the phone call records and messages when the thief tries to use your phone.
- get the thief's phone number on sim change
- automatic picture capture on wrong unlock code, and sent to your email
- hidden conversation recorder in the background without the thief knowing that you are listening in to their conversations
- Remote control via text messages
- SIM Checker (for devices that have a SIM card): you will automatically receive alerts if someone uses your phone with an unauthorized SIM card

Remote control allows you to perform many operations on your device, like:
- Locate and track it
- Start a loud alarm, even if the device is set to silent mode
- Wipe the internal memory and the SD card
- Hide Cerberus from the app drawer
- Lock the device with a code
- Record audio from the microphone
- Get a list of last calls sent and received
- Get information about network and operator the device is connected to
- And much more!

The good thing is this, you don't need another phone to control all the functions, simply go online and login with your username and password and you are okay.


2. Tasker
Schedule different tasks on your phone based on different parameters. These are some of the setting on my SGS4

- low battery below 30%, switch phone to single core out of the four cores (this saves battery), and switch from 3g to 2g
- I use a bluetooth watch (pebbles) synced with my phone for stealth notifications when I'm at the office.
At 9:30 am
+ switch on my bluetooth and start the pebbles app to connect the watch
+ adjust screen brightness to 10% and set sound profile to silent
at 2 pm (lunch time)
+ switch the profile to normal so that I can pick calls
at 2:30 pm
+switch back to silent profile
at 5pm
+ switch off bluetooth, close pebbles app
+ switch on 3g connection if battery is above 65% otherwise, stay in 2g mode
+ read out all my personal email with S-voice while I'm in the car

The app is set to note the three network mast close to my house, with the mast network number and stored because of the function below
on noticing that I am around the mast do the following:

+ switch on my wifi and connect to my home internet
+ if wifi connection is not successful, switch on 3g

those are some of the settings i've got.

There are people who use it to:

+ open the car garage door
+ set home alarm
+ switch on the heating system at home
+ switch on the kettle in the morning before going to work

Iphone cant do any of these, and the good thing is that the setting is done once and I don't bother myself with making this adjustments while on the move.

NB: I use a MB pro laptop, an ipad mini and had an iphone 4s before switching to sammy. I'm speaking from personal experience with the device

ZLUK: Ways Iphone 5S is better than Galaxy S4

1. It can be compared to Samsung Galaxy S4 ***diss to tecno users***

2. It is the fastest phone ever tested

3. S4 is too large for some of us

4. With the aluminium build of 5S, I don't have to worry about the cheapness I may feel carrying a plastic like S4

5. Don't even let me get started on TOUCH ID .... That is a killer

6. Despite the more capcity indicated on the S4, iphone 5S still lasts longer

7. Should I even mention the prone-ness of Android OS to attacks?

8. The AMOLED is sharper than the iPhone LCD on resolution specs, but not in reality

IPhone 5S fastest phone ever? Really?

I check d site but cant find how to configure it..i'm using etisalat bro and i hd converted the sim to micro sim..plz how do i make it to browse i mean the settingz

With that said I am enjoying my Nexus 5. It is faster than the iPhone 5S I played with. In addition, iPhone 5s is overpriced.

You are sure you didn't buy chinko Note 3 Even my Grand with 1gb ram doesn't lag.

Lol in fairness though, Samsung does cheat on its benchmarks and Touchwiz is a lag fest. The fastest Android phone is the Nexus 5 running on ART. Benchmarks are not trustworthy. The Nexus 5 has the fastest boot up times and load times of any device.

Try getting this score on an iPhone 5s

@ op, nice review but do know that sg4 isn't d only phone that supports s gear. note 3 took the gear ish to another realm altogether.

by the way, it is only a tech dummy that wud go patronizing i5s

Jobless people complicating a simple life with mobile apps....the people who created all this apps don't even use them.....kai some nigerians sucks real bad....now dat ur app wake u up from sleep how did it make u differ from pple that wake naturally

You guys have not experienced how quick and responsive Android can be until you have used a Nexus 5 with ART.
