THE GREAT SMARTPHONES CONFILICTS


For the last few years there’s only been two handsets EVERYBODY knew about: Samsung’s latest Galaxy S device and Apple’s iPhone but past  three years, Apple and Samsung have clash on a range almost first-time in business history, their legal war costing more than a billion dollars and spanning four continents. Beginning with the super-secret mission that created the iPhone and the late Steve Jobs’ fury when Samsung—an Apple supplier!—brought out a shockingly similar device, Kurt Eichenwald explores the Korean company’s documentation of exclusive rights violation, among other coldblooded business diplomacy, and explains why Apple might win the battles but still lose the war.

 Apple has won millions of pounds in compensation from Samsung as the legal battle between the two technology giants continues.
      
             
 This year, however, is slightly different as Samsung Galaxy S5 into a hit, following confirmed dips in sales year-on-year of around 40%. Fortunately for Samsung it has the Galaxy Note 4 and the thoroughly excellent Samsung Galaxy Alpha to fill in the gaps.
The Galaxy S5 wasn’t bad; it just lacked anything resembling a compelling USP compared to rival handsets from Sony and HTC. It felt distinctly average and that is never good when you’re talking about a flagship handset, especially one from a company that, at the time, was on top of the world. And it really couldn’t have happened at a worse time, either, as everybody knew Apple was going to storm into the market in late-2014 with a radically altered iPhone proposition. 
Samsung is now in the process of completely re-evaluating its Galaxy S line ahead of the launch of the Galaxy S6 during Q1 2015 –– so expect BIG changes. In this comparison we’re going to take a look at how the current Galaxy S5 compares to Apple’s slightly newer iPhone 6. In terms specs and hardware in general both handsets are pretty evenly matched –– generally speaking, anyway –– but are the other differences? And where does one outdo the other? Lets bloody well find out. 
But first, the specs in a handy side-by-side table.

THE iPhone 6:
                        Certainly easily has the edge. I’m not a big fan of the large top and bottom bezels that still reside on the iPhone 6, but its beautifully chamfered edges and matt aluminium unibody back and edges really stand out compared to the glossy metal edges on the Galaxy S5 and its controversial faux leather plastic back.And it is around 75000 rupees in pakistan
THE Galaxy S5’s trump card:
                                   it is both water and dust resistant . Most usefully this means the Galaxy S5 can be left in up to one metre of water for up to 30 minutes. An ugly plastic flap on the power port must be shut for this, but it remains a major feather in the cap for the S5. Not only is it great for protecting against water damage that would kill the iPhone 6, but it is remarkably liberating being able to answer a phone call or adjust your music in the shower!it this divies is around 55000 in pakistan
