• Four Galaxy S5 features that the iPhone 5S has not video!

By Jean-Louis Pétrod 30 April 2014

After playing last week, a new commercial for S5 Galaxy in which the iPhone 5S appeared for the first time “in the flesh and bone, “the Korean offers today four new videos , each focusing on a specific feature or characteristic Galaxy S5 which happens to be every time a function not found the Apple side.

If none of the four videos makes any reference to the iPhone 5S , it nevertheless appears that the four characteristics of S5 Galaxy presented here are his own and each provide him an advantage over his competitor headed whether the Selective Focus feature the camera Photo of widescreen Full HD 1080p, with S Health application or Ultra Power Saving Mode. A particularly good choice that allows Korean enhance its latest flagship without denigrating once rival .

S5 Galaxy vs iPhone 5S, which has the advantage?

each new upscale outlet Samsung always provides the rational promotion passes including streaming videos that are either simple advertisements, often referring to Apple or videos character more descriptive intended to highlight some of the features of the target device, as is the case here.

Of course it does not mean that Samsung will never reference to Apple its promotional videos and nothing says that the iPhone 5S will not appear in the pub next to the Galaxy S5 as was the case a few days ago. However, when we look at the four features shown below, one wonders if the accusations that Apple continues to claim that Samsung copied the iPhone are still based.

Test Samsung Galaxy S5: A good smartphone, but competition ... - LeMondeInformatique

With its hardened shell and resistance to water and sand, the Galaxy S5 is well equipped to withstand the little daily annoyances.

Last S5 Samsung Galaxy displays all the latest specifications, a truly great camera, a bright screen and a battery that lasts a long time, a very significant point displacement. Finally, all that is found in other Android smartphones in its class …

id=”texte”> With the S5 Galaxy, Samsung has taken things in hand. The manufacturer wanted to refine priority features already present in the previous versions, the Galaxy S4 particular, instead of stuffing her factor yet broader new form. Indeed, the Galaxy S5 is slightly wider than the S4 and its cellular plastic hull has a grip which prevents slipping of the smartphone hand. It offers a way to hand, quite convenient, with the possibility of slightly reducing the interface, even if the handling is a bit difficult. We will not dwell on the issue of water resistance and shock (IP67) that we have already discussed in a previous topic.

The S5 has a Super AMOLED screen 5 1-inch Full HD 1080p display. According to the manufacturer, the screen of the S5 has a better ability to adapt to the ambient brightness. We can really reduce the light intensity, which is welcome for night reading or saving the battery. High Fashion in brightness, the screen is extremely bright, but with a lot of contrast and the screen retains color accuracy even under extreme angles of view. Size, wider, has a very pleasant experience for watching movies on the go.

chip quad-core clocked at 2.5 GHz

The Galaxy S5 based on a Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC 801, which gives it a slight advantage over the HTC One (M8) in the Anandtech benchmarks. The difference with the previous model released last year is obvious. It realizes navigating in TouchWiz, which seems to have gained speed since the last iteration interface. In terms of battery life, the Galaxy S5 can certainly take a day or more. In tests carried out by our colleagues IDG, the 2800 mAh battery held 10:45 minutes of video playback with 100 lumens brightness and airplane mode on, beating the HTC One (M8) 45 minutes, or about 7.5% more runtime.

The 16-megapixel sensor rear camera is probably the best ever built by Samsung. Not rely solely on software to merge photos, Samsung has integrated its sensor technology, called ISOCELL, which improves sharpness and accuracy in low light. During testing, the colors were very mixed and the camera has given excellent results outdoors. Unfortunately, the performance of the flagship smartphone Samsung rose slightly in low light, rendering the remaining grainy pictures.

A fingerprint reader less successful than the iPhone 5S

As proposed by Apple with the iPhone 5S, Samsung has included a fingerprint reader in the home button. But unlike the iPhone, you must drag your finger down on the Home button to unlock the screen, which is not easy to do with one hand. It is also possible to use the fingerprint reader with apps like PayPal and Knox 2. Our testers were able to see the demonstration of a PayPal payment authenticated with the fingerprint reader. The function can be used in a restaurant or at a retail partner. The scanner also provides access to the Private Mode, a new TouchWiz space in which the user can store confidential files. The idea is good, but again, the handling is not very ergonomic.

Because everyone does not have a smartwatch or fitness band around the wrist, Samsung has integrated a heart rate sensor to the rear of the phone. Unfortunately, this feature is quite useless: the Galaxy S5 is too big to carry while jogging, and it is unlikely that an athlete agrees to stop every 100 meters to check his heart rate. In addition, Samsung warns that the system is not reliable and can not replace a medical device.

In conclusion

The Galaxy S5 has several improvements compared to the previous Galaxy S4, but the gains are less dramatic than those that marked the passage of the Galaxy S III Galaxy S4: Overall, the S5 is a great smartphone, but it has some shortcomings. The latest smartphone from Samsung released in France at the same time as the HTC One (M8), and buyers are sure to compare the two phones. Again, the Galaxy S5 is a great Android mobile, but sometimes it still fishing where the HTC One (M8) excels. For example, listening to music it falls short, and although the TouchWiz interface has been reduced, it is still less polished than the HTC One (M8). Our colleagues IDG give the advantage to HTC One (M8), but they believe that the two competitors are excellent phones. According to them, the choice for one or the other will depend on the use made of each mobile.

In tests carried out by our colleagues IDG, the 2800 mAh battery held 10:45 minutes of video playback with 100 lumens brightness and airplane mode on, beating the HTC One (M8) 45 minutes, or about 7.5% more runtime.

The 16-megapixel sensor rear camera is probably the best ever built by Samsung. Not rely solely on software to merge photos, Samsung has integrated its sensor technology, called ISOCELL, which improves sharpness and accuracy in low light. During testing, the colors were very mixed and the camera has given excellent results outdoors. Unfortunately, the performance of the flagship smartphone Samsung rose slightly in low light, rendering the remaining grainy pictures.

A fingerprint reader less successful than the iPhone 5S

As proposed by Apple with the iPhone 5S, Samsung has included a fingerprint reader in the home button. But unlike the iPhone, you must drag your finger down on the Home button to unlock the screen, which is not easy to do with one hand. It is also possible to use the fingerprint reader with apps like PayPal and Knox 2. Our testers were able to see the demonstration of a PayPal payment authenticated with the fingerprint reader. The function can be used in a restaurant or at a retail partner. The scanner also provides access to the Private Mode, a new TouchWiz space in which the user can store confidential files. The idea is good, but again, the handling is not very ergonomic.

Because everyone does not have a smartwatch or fitness band around the wrist, Samsung has integrated a heart rate sensor to the rear of the phone. Unfortunately, this feature is quite useless: the Galaxy S5 is too big to carry while jogging, and it is unlikely that an athlete agrees to stop every 100 meters to check his heart rate. In addition, Samsung warns that the system is not reliable and can not replace a medical device.

In conclusion

The Galaxy S5 has several improvements compared to the previous Galaxy S4, but the gains are less dramatic than those that marked the passage of the Galaxy S III Galaxy S4: Overall, the S5 is a great smartphone, but it has some shortcomings. The latest smartphone from Samsung released in France at the same time as the HTC One (M8), and buyers are sure to compare the two phones. Again, the Galaxy S5 is a great Android mobile, but sometimes it still fishing where the HTC One (M8) excels. For example, listening to music it falls short, and although the TouchWiz interface has been reduced, it is still less polished than the HTC One (M8). Our colleagues IDG give the advantage to HTC One (M8), but they believe that the two competitors are excellent phones. According to them, the choice for one or the other will depend on the use made of each mobile.

HTC One M8: 10 reasons not to wait for the Galaxy S5! – 01net

div

01net.

on 28/03/14 19:00

On 4 April, the new HTC One M8 (M8 stamped not to be confused with its predecessor, also known as the HTC One M7) will be available in the main distribution channels and among operators or one week before the Samsung Galaxy S5 (from April 11)
There are those who prefer to wait wisely before making a decision -. illuminated in the light of our upcoming tests – and more impatient that burn obtain a latest generation smartphone. Snapdragon processor 801 (the most powerful moment), big screen at bluffing display quality, exceptional autonomy, photos advanced features, sensors of all kinds … It lacks little or nothing about the HTC One M8 and we therefore present 10 reasons to parade faster with.

1. A sophisticated all-metal design

new HTC One largely reflects the elegant design of its predecessor with a unibody brushed aluminum look great. The Taiwanese manufacturer is also one of the few to use for its hulls this noble material as proportion: the M8, the shell is metal 90%
With a screen pass! 4.7 to 5 inches, the smartphone gains in length and is a little heavier (twenty grams), but its width and thickness are moderate – just nearly identical to the One things – which ensures comfortable grip. The screen adopts outline softened lines and the machine maintains a very nice curved back to the eye but also to touch. The device is available in three colors: dark gray, silver and even gold, previewed in April at Bouygues Telecom.

2. The screen excels in brightness and contrast

big screen M8 adopts the Super LCD technology 3 to win, according to the manufacturer quality. An argument could be only “only” marketing but in practice, our first measurements reveal brightness and contrast much higher than those of the first HTC One. The display quality of the M8 is to go with deep blacks and well among a screen brighter. We’ll tell you more in our next full test. With its Full HD, the slab has a very high resolution – it does not hurt – and it is protected by Gorilla Glass technology of last generation (anti-scratch, shock resistance)

3. Artistic blurred effects and 3D photo

In addition Ultrapixel sensor already on the M7 (one 4 megapixels) found the back of the M8 a second 2-megapixel sensor. It does not take a picture, but saves all data on the depth of field. Called Duo Camera, this technology allows twofold after shooting, to blur the background (or foreground) for rendering professional type, Bokeh, we usually obtained with a reflex . With this device, it also becomes possible to add a 3D effect to your photos by simply tilting the phone. Note that HTC has integrated its new One Dual LED flash for more natural colors, as well as a 5 megapixel camera façace for successful selfies and shoot in Full HD.

4. Power further increased

While M7 was based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 600 (like the Galaxy S4) a four cores clocked at 1.7 GHz, the M8 inherits her (like the Samsung Galaxy S5 and Sony Xperia Z2), the latest chipset American founder: 801 Snapdragon. This platform quad-core 2.26 GHz coupled with 2 GB of RAM is the new HTC One one of the most powerful and versatile smartphones of the moment. Results on Antutu 4 show an excellent score (between 33 000 and 35 000). Games 3D effect and full HD video at will!

5. Finally, a memory card reader!

a major shortcoming of the previous model, it was his memory certainly comfortable (32GB) but not extensible. With the new One and 16GB “only”, HTC made a clean sweep of the past. A memory card reader is well integrated into the housing of the smartphone and accepts microSD cards up to 128 GB The ability to keep itself on all data and especially a maximum of multimedia files. Located on the right side of the mobile – the opposite of the Nano SIM slot – the card reader opens with a small metal key provided by the manufacturer

6. Sense 6 brings a lot of news

overlay HTC Sense now version 6. New colors, new fonts and more customization possibilities are scheduled while the flow of information BlinkField even better. Gestural control of smartphone finally makes its appearance (Motion Lauch). Following the example of the LG G2, a double tap on the screen to turn it off or turn it on at will. Screen off with a simple swipe of your finger to the left, right or up, it leads directly to the home screen and widgets, the flow Blinkfield or last accessed application.

7. Far superior to that of M7 autonomy

M3 embeds a higher capacity battery than its predecessor (2600 mAh vs 2300 mAh), unfortunately still immovable. However HTC Announces Increased autonomy 40% likely to forget this defect. At the time of writing lines, our first tests seem to go in the direction of the manufacturer’s data, or even exceed his instructions. One new well beyond the 10 hours surfing 4G and call 20 hours, which should place it among the best. With the M8, an Energy Saver mode Far (like the S5) also appeared. It is supposed to provide up to 10 days standby mobile (and standby restricted mode) for receiving calls and SMS.

8. Double front speaker even better

One HTC models are part of the very few smartphones to be equipped with speakers on either side of the screen for better immersion when viewing a film, for example. With BoomSound and beats audio mode, the M7 offered one of the best audio quality in the market. On the M8, the beats disappear fashion, but BoomSound technology has been improved. HTC announces and powerful sound 25% and especially better with a wider spectrum of frequencies for enhanced bass tones down treble. To compare with future competitors, but HTC puts the bar very high here!

9. A new sensor for HTC One M8

Despite persistent rumors, HTC has not announced bracelet connected to the launch of its M8, unlike its main competitors LG, Sony or Samsung . The smartphone ships, however, the standard application of famous sports / wellness / health Fitbit. Without bracelet, this combined with the Smart Sensor Hub application, a new low-energy component which drives many sensors integrated hardware, you can use your mobile phone as a pedometer or sports coach. A check in our tests, of course! Even off screen, this smart sensor hub is still awake and he is, for example, which will make a call simply by wearing the mobile to his ear. Foxy!

10. Dot View, smart cover for the new One

Compatible with the new overlay HTC Sense 6, the case Dote View (50 euros sold option) is adorned with an original design with its rubbery texture and perforations. Not only role is to protect the screen of the M8, but it also allows the display of notifications (calls, sms absence, time, etc.) in a retro style, so pacman. More stunning still, the Dot View, even closed, the control accepts finger mobile (Motion Lauch): double pressure to activate the screen or swipe of a finger on the cover to activate voice search contacts
