Deathmatch between two stars. On our left: iPhone 5S, Apple gem. To our right: Samsung Galaxy S5, the powerful Korean mobile, freshly announced at Mobile World Congress. We compared ten-point specifications of these two moving lights, pending a full review of the S5 and information about the iPhone 6, which could reshuffle the cards. Who will win this match?

Editor’s Note: This article is some evidence of irony or cynicism, we apologize in advance to those who might be shocking, but comparisons and conclusions are based on revenge criteria quite serious.

1 – Template and Design

iPhone remains thinner, lighter and more suited to small hands big Galaxy S5 and its screen of 5.1 inches diagonally. And aluminum iPhone case, the accuracy of its finishes are far superior to plastic, even if it is very pleasant to the touch, Galaxy S5.

In fact, everything depends on the tastes and colors of users, especially since the majority of them apply a protective cover for their iPhone … A shell that enlarges, thickens and increases the Apple device, when it does not completely disfigures his design.

=> Advantage iPhone 5S … unless you opt for a cover, Hello Kitty

2 – Interface and ergonomics

The new interface of iOS 7 Apple has baffled many, but 78% of users have adopted and appreciate today. The aesthetics of the “flat design” does not fall flat, since Samsung has copied to the overlay Touchwiz Galaxy S5.

In fact, the ergonomics of the two systems is very similar. That Apple is a little easier to access, but the Samsung offers more features (windowing, etc.). Again, it all depends on the user’s expectations.

=> Equal

3 – Performance

Both devices are equipped with an extremely powerful processor and it will be difficult to distinguish in practice. The Snapdragon chip 801 Galaxy S5 displays leading performance, especially in video games. The iPhone, however, did not blush, despite 64-bit capabilities are not necessarily useful for the moment.

Galaxy S5 however has 3 GB of RAM (1GB against the iPhone), which allows it to handle more applications true multitasking … even beat Kasparov at chess, calculate the trajectory hyperspace Millennium Falcon, and even to correctly rotate the (heavy) Touchwiz overlay. Ok, it may be a bit exaggerated. But not for Touchwiz.

=> Equal

4 – Autonomy

With a 2800 mAh battery, the Galaxy S5 is widely expected to fare better than the iPhone 5S and 1560 mAh battery only. Galaxy S4 was already significantly more enduring than Apple’s smartphone, and with its new Ultra Low Power function, the S5 is supposed to endure another 24 hours at 10% load … idle.

=> Big advantage for S5 Galaxy

5 – Photo

iPhone 5S, despite the excellent performance of the camera (8 megapixels) should again be eclipsed before the innovations of Samsung 16 megapixel sensor with autofocus 0.3 seconds, instant HDR mode, even video – and blur background … Everything is here to beautify the subject, flatter her stepmother and reassure his partner

.

regrets that the Galaxy S5 does not best suited to the egocentric tendency “ selfie “, which is to take a picture of yourself, friend to take the blame unit. Other manufacturers, such as Acer, are yet to place a flash went off the front sensor and a trigger on the back of the smartphone.

=> Slight advantage for S5 Galaxy

6 – Display

SuperAMOLED screen Galaxy S5 offers a Full HD on a diagonal of 5.1 inches (432 ppi), while the iPhone is limited to a resolution of 640 x 1136 pixels on a diagonal of 4 inches (326 ppp). Samsung can therefore boast to offer even more invisible pixels as Apple, but in practice, only Steve Austin can make the difference (pixels are invisible to the naked eye from about 300 dpi). It is still a matter of choice: a large screen or a more comfortable smartphone suitable for small hands

.

But it is on the display quality that Samsung should take advantage. The screen of the iPhone offers faithful colors and well settled, but the Samsung provides perfect black, and the mobile is capable of probing the color of the ambient light to adjust its rendering and offer accurate colors at any time . It can also display more aggressive contrast for better visibility in bright sunlight and a softer image in the dark.

=> Small advantage for the Galaxy S5, including retouch pictures at the beach, or a nightclub

7 – Sport and wellness

iPhone requires a significant innovation for athletes: the coprocessor M7 allows you to monitor user activity and adapt the behavior of the device without (too) reduce its autonomy. IPhone 5S and also provides a unique feature: a social welfare, the feeling of belonging to a community of people trend and refined, that only Apple can offer: the “ swag .”

At Samsung, no coprocessor … And Health S application is a little less original, but offers equivalent functions for athletes. And Korean makes up mainly by the addition of a heart rate sensor located next to the LED flash of the camera, which, after a run, check if you are still alive.

=> Equal

8 – Resistance / Sealing

Good news from Samsung, the Galaxy S5 waterproof because it is IP67 certified. Unlike the iPhone 5S, it is not better to use in the shower … However, the iPhone 5S can always resort to his favorite trick: a Kevlar protective cover for the unwary, or a mini- diving for big clumsy.

=> Samsung Advantage

9 – Connectivity

Connectivity side, the iPhone is very classic, NFC, but with certain Apple technologies that have proven themselves as AirPlay. Galaxy S5 puts hand the package and innovates. Thanks to the support WiFi MiMo combined with LTE (4G) last generation. If the download does together, that’s what recover a file in seconds (1 GB in just 30 seconds, according to Samsung) … A condition of being connected directly to the central backbone Orange!

=> Samsung Advantage

10 – The buzz

big show to launch the Galaxy S5 significantly crushed phlegmatic presentations Tim Cook, although the latter is more confident on stage, thanks to the will of Apple and its Great Creator. But we still remember our disappointment last keynote the CEO of the Cupertino company, which clearly lacked breath.

Barcelona, ??Samsung has also missed her perfectly charming blend of Asian and Western kitsch megalomania, addressing “the world” and inviting Philharmonic Barcelona to play a “corporate” air smirks . Some applause were waiting, and stakeholders were famous unknown … But what a sight, what irresistible circus!

=> Samsung dripping victory

Verdict!

It is logical that the Samsung Galaxy S5 wins this duel, or iPhone 5S is already a boxer on the decline. The decisive round, the autonomy should be largely won by the Korean smartphone. But if Samsung wins a battle he did not win the war: Apple already prepares its defenses to launch its new champion in the ring, an iPhone 6 announced as very promising. We do not omit to remake a game since it was announced!

S5 Galaxy will not be released until several hours but few have already had the chance to get their hands on this new high-end smartphone from Samsung. Journalist in Europe 1, one of them has released a short video on his Instagram account, video in which the long awaited S5 makes a brief appearance and probably unintentional … Anyway, the first big mistake of the year …

opportunity for us to discover for the first time all three versions of black color, white and gold of the future replacement of the Galaxy S4. What help us to wait in the queue for the press conference tomorrow.

I take this opportunity to remind you that the Galaxy S5 should have a Super AMOLED screen of 5.25 inches diagonally with a resolution of 2560 × 1.440px, a four processor clocked at 2.5Ghz cores supported by 3GB of RAM, a digital camera 16Mpx coupled with a front camera and a 2Mpx battery 3.000mAh.

Smartwatch: Samsung unveils two new Galaxy Gear - ZDNet

Business: As expected, the South Korean giant abandon Android in favor of Tizen for its accessories. Functions “wellness” have been added.

div Barcelona – No surprise: Samsung benefited from the Mobile World Congress that opened Monday in Barcelona to present its new watches connected in the family Galaxy Gear

.

The objective is twofold for the Asian giant: forget the disappointment of the first version (price, range and compatibility) and occupy the land as soon as possible while other manufacturers are in the running and that Apple is gearing his arms.

remember that despite this disappointment, Samsung is the market leader with a share of 54%, according to Canalys, far from Sony that would claim 19%.

Samsung decided to see things big with two models: Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo, which will be cheaper because devoid of camera. Confirming recent rumors, the accessory is no longer animated by Android but Tizen mobile OS MeeGo derivative.

design side, no changes, these Gear 2 show the shape of the previous model, the same bracelet as well. The size was slightly reduced by one millimeter.

Measurement of heart rate and sleep

Under the hood, there are some changes compared to the previous model unveiled last September. If found in both models the same screen super AMOLED 1.63 inch with a resolution of 320 × 320 pixels, 512 MB RAM and 4GB of internal storage, the processor has been doped with 1 Ghz instead of 800 Mhz. The camera of Gear 2 is 2 megapixels.

Point curious (and disturbing?) battery only displays 300mAh instead of 315mAh. However, the autonomy of the first model (just one day) was highly criticized by observers.

But the real novelty is the addition of functions, “wellness”, the very fashion today. Thus, the shown features a heartbeat sensor for generating data and activity profiles or sleep. What both positioned on the segment of the watch but also bracelets online who also have the wind in their sails.

Moreover, Gear 2 can be used as a remote control for TV and as a music player via a new embedded application.

Both models will be available in April at a yet undisclosed price. They should be compatible with most smartphones Galaxy. Samsung will still do better than me previous model could only be associated with very few smartphones of the brand. The choice of Tizen he extend this compatibility?

According to Canalys

, it took 1.8 million ‘smartwatches’ in 2013, including 1.6 million in just the second half. This year, 8 million watches connected should find takers. For the following years, growth should remain strong as Canalys expects 23 million connected watches passed in 2015 and 45 million in 2017.

However

Gartner tempers this optimism. Annette Zimmermann, principal analyst, these products appear “irrelevant in terms of design, applications and features available.”

here 4-5 years, less than 1% of users of high-end phones should have replaced their devices by combining a couple shows connected and tablet, predicts Gartner.
