I made a thread earlier about choosing between the 2 top market phones HTC one and Galaxy S4, Honestly I would get the s4 between the iPhone 5 and the s4. If you have bigger hands then the s4's definitely the way to go it has a much bigger screen and also has higher quality resolution. Like i said i'm choosing between HTC one and S4 still, but i checked out my moms s4 she just got yesterday i think it's fantastic, I've also used a iPhone before(I'm personally done with apple products i have an i phone now that's why i'm upgrading.) From the average consumers view the iPhone is seen as the best. The i phone as i saw someone said before is very easy to use. The s4 is also even if your not used to android operating system it's very easy to use also. The s4 has cool features such as i believe it was called air view. Air view is a feature which allows you too simply wave or slightly flick your finger in front of the screen without touching to scroll or select things.It also has other features such as a feature that when your watching any media if you look away your video will pause. Now the iPhone has a cool feature too siri which actually works very well, now one thing you have to remember is the iPhone 5 came out earlier than the s4 so it's a bit older. In comparison to memory the s4 has 2 gb and the iPhone 5 has 1 gb, the s4 also is much faster. The one thing that is very nice about the s4 is it's durability just like any other phone it has gorilla glass(which only protects slow impacts with not much force so when dropping the phone without the case just like any other phone theres a good chance the screen will crack. The plastic back makes the s4 very durable to falling in most areas, although the plastic does take away that premium feel you would get from the iPhone or the HTC one. Overall the s4 has many more features and is more updated software wise, also your able to remove the back of the phone making you able to replace the battery if ever needed, I don't know about the battery life of the iPhone 5 but the s4 has a battery life that will last a whole day even with gaming, media and other battery consuming applications and software.
