Galaxy S4 Vs. iPhone 5

After months of rumors, Samsung finally took the wraps off its next-generation Galaxy S4 at a huge press event at Radio City Music Hall in New York. That scene was no coincidence. From the S4’s 1.9-GHz quad-core processor to its 13-megapixel camera, the Galaxy S4 is an almost theatrically overblown phone, stuffed to the plastic casing with hardware and features.

But is it good enough to lure Apple fanboys and girls over to Android? We’ve stacked up specs for the GS4 side by side against the iPhone 5 to help decide which phone is right for you. Comparing Android to iOS is a little like comparing apples to oranges, but as you can see from the specs, it’s a pretty close call everywhere else.

When you look at the phones next to one another, one thing’s for certain: the Galaxy S4 is a heck of a lot bigger. With a huge 5-inch screen, the Galaxy S4 technically meets our size requirements for a smart phone, which we use to describe phones with screen sizes ranging from 5.0 to 6.9 inches. That means it’s probably not as comfortable to hold and use the GS4 as it is the 4-inch iPhone 5, especially if you have smaller hands.
