Android users and iPhone users will forever have a biased opinion of their devices; each side seems to have an argument to defend why their phone is better.

  With Apple’s “Keep it simple” motto and Androids encouraging of user comments, both sides can argue their case. The Samsung Galaxy S5, set to be released next month, will be the most advanced Android yet.

 So the question holds true, what phone really is better? The Galaxy S5 has a 5.1-inch Super AMOLED display that has a 1920 x 1080 full HD resolution, while the iPhone has a smaller 4 inch screen with a resolution of 640 x 1136. Both phones have similar processors, and there wouldn’t be too much of a difference in deciphering which phone is faster. From a storage standpoint, the iPhone starts at 16 gb with a price tag of $199 (with a two-year agreement and contract renewal). The iPhone also comes in 32gb and 64gb versions. The S5, however, has the ability to have an SD card which gives you the ability to have 128 gb of data, music or whatever you choose on your phone.

 When it comes to battery life, the S5 takes the cake. Samsung has stated that the S5 can last up to 390 hours on standby while the iPhone lasts nearly a third less at 250 hours on standby. The Galaxy S5 has a unique new body that makes the device dust resistant and water-resistant. Even though the iPhone isn’t water resistant, it does have a fingerprint sensor which you can use to unlock your phone. The iPhone also holds other advantages over the Galaxy such as iCloud’s convenience, which allows you to share your music and data across all of your apple devices.

  Of course, the student body at Susquehannock always has their own opinion. Junior Ashley Valway is the owner of an iPhone 5s. “I like the group chat [that the iPhone offers],” said Valway. “I think it’s really easy to use. I also love the huge selection of cases.”

  Junior Jakob Kramer has mixed opinions on both phones. “I think both phones offer different positives and negatives,” said Kramer. “I prefer the Galaxy S5 over the iPhone because of all the customization options that the iPhone does not offer. What I do like about the iPhone is that it’s extremely dependable, and I think iMessage was a genius idea.”

  Math teacher Chris Newland just upgraded to the Galaxy S4. “Absolutely not,” said Newland when asked if he would buy an iPhone over Samsung’s Galaxy series. “I love how fast my Samsung is. I love how tied in with Google it is; I use Google for everything.”

  Overall, the advantage here goes to the iPhone 5s. Statistically, the 5s is technologically superior to the Galaxy S5, despite being released nearly five months earlier.
