Samsung Galaxy S5 vs. iPhone 5S: Specs of Samsung’s highly rumored next flagship has finally been unveiled and this review pits the features of the Samsung Galaxy S5 versus the well-received iPhone 5S. The Samsung Galaxy S5 and iPhone 5S compared in terms of their camera features, design and operating system.

Samsung Galaxy S5 is packing camera specs that can take twice the size of what the iPhone 5S camera can. The S5 has a 16MP camera, while the iPhone 5S has 8MP. The Galaxy S5 offers impressive new features that like Live Preview, which is not available on the iPhone 5S.

According to Geek.com, Live Preview allows the user to see hipster filters, HDR, and other improvements in real time before the photo is captured. The feature empowers the user to take as much or as little time taking the shot as they want. The Samsung Galaxy S5 also has a very fast autofocus, 0.3-second to be exact, and is described as having the fastest autofocus in the world. The S5 has a powerful camera, capable of operating in many different environments.

Geek.com noted though that it’s lacking something that Apple added to make 5S truly shine. Apple’s camera feature on its new flagship is coupled with a special two-stage flash that works together to create the best light temperature for the image. The special flash allows iPhone 5S photos from seeming blown out by white light or too dark. Samsung Galaxy S5 doesn’t have a feature that will solve this in low lighting situations, a fact that could cause problem to some users.

The best camera, however, goes to the device that is truly user friendly and delivers the best point and shoot capabilities. Samsung takes the cake on this particular feature, with Live Preview being a very unique feature that’s amps user appeal especially when combined with a fun and new UI and a crazy fast autofocus speed.
