Sheet

The two technology giants Apple and Samsung compete seriously in the smartphone market since the launch of the iPhone 4 and the Galaxy S, in 2010.

Both devices have powerful hardware, good design, support 4G Brazilian and are sold in the same price range (up to 2000 dollars). In comparison let’s put aside the fact that the iPhone 5s has not yet been officially announced in Brazil.

Apple stands out by using the first 64-bit processor in a smartphone world. The A7 called Cyclone offers a performance much higher than the previous generation.

device obtained 13,807 points in 3D Mark benchmarch application, while the iPhone 5 was only 5,520 points.

In practice, this innovation makes the system becomes extremely fluid. When you open many applications (more than 10) there was very little degradation velocidade.A transition between them is also very fast. It is clear that there has been a change in the OS for multitasking applications.

side effects, temporary, is that some applications optimized for 32-bit can cause system crashes all, like what happened with iWork, which came to force the display of a blue screen.

iPhone 5s also has the coprocessor M7 that was created by Apple to relieve the main processor, the A7. He is responsible for processing information from the sensors: accelerometer, gyroscope and compass. In practice, dedicated as it is, the response speed is increased.

already has the Galaxy S4 SnapDragon 800 quad core processor, clocked at 1.9 GHz, one of the most powerful processors in the Android world. The S4 has reached 12,588 points and 25,001 points in Quadrant in AnTuTu.

To complete the picture, it has 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of internal storage (expandable by microSD) cameras and megapixel 13:02. Mathematically, the S4 is the most powerful unit that has passed by INFOLAB.

Both devices run heavy applications and games such as Real Racing 3 without gagging, delivering great user experiences.

One of the biggest highlights of the iPhone 5s is the biometric sensor TouchID. With it, you can unlock the device and authorize purchases in the App Store. Although not a novelty (the Motorola Atrix had the rercurso), Apple used a fingerprint sensor efficient smartphone. Just tap the “Home” button for it to identify that you are the owner of the product.

Galaxy S4 also has interesting features. You can change the pictures in the galley just going to hand over the device. You can also read a text and the screen will roll automatically by detecting their movements with a sensor next to the front camera. Another novelty is the smartphone allows video recording format that uses innovative two cameras simultaneously. Although seem meaningless, it can be used to make a tutorial for internet or record a video on a trip while you appear in a small box on the side doing the narration of events.

He also recognizes words in a text with the camera. The principle works only recognizing English words. When trying to change the language it asks to download the dictionary. When you click download it goes to a site and displays a list of Collins and Oxford dictionaries of various languages. All free for Samsung.

We do it identify a printed text and words in the box a product. In the case of the word to be in Portuguese – after having downloaded Collins – he gave more information than originally gave as conjugation, and other variations of the language. Have the option to speak the word. The Portuguese is spoken and feminine much like the Portuguese of Portugal.

Both have good ergonomics and fit in your pocket without attracting much attention, but the big screen handset from Samsung can sometimes make it difficult to use with one hand.

smartphone from Samsung is more pleasing those who prefer a large screen, with 5 inches, the display is better than the iPhone in two important questions: playing movies and resistance. Owners of iPhones often break the device screen to drop it on the floor and always need to wear a protective film.

The S4 features a display that has Gorilla Glass technology, which gives more strength to the product and may even dispense with the use of film (if you do not have the custom to put the smartphone in the same pocket with your keys).

Historically, the battery is the big problem of Apple’s smartphone. Who has an iPhone 5s need to have your charger handy, because the battery can not take a day of use, but only 6:21 a.m., according to tests INFOLAB . But the competitor takes a bath autonomy and can be used for up to moderately 20h22.

S4 camera has innovative features. Besides a good overall image quality of the rear camera, which features 13 megapixels and records video in 1080p, the device has software innovations. You can record a picture with both cameras at the same time. This puts a thumbnail of the front camera above the main image. You can change its size and layout. The interesting feature is to insert the photographer, usually invisible in family photos and travel.

There are a total of 12 shooting modes: Eraser, HDR, Photo lively, action, picture with sound, Best Face, Best picture, Face Beautify, Auto, Night, Sports and Panorama.

The mode of action is one that stands out the most. 8 it captures frames at a time, identifies overlapping objects in a static scenario, and eliminates repetition. This generates an image that shows a rhythmic movement of a person, for example.

Regarding the iPhone 5s, news camera are more present in software than in hardware. The software captures images of iOS 7 is far superior to iOS 6. It enables sequential shooting 999 photos in just seconds. Moreover, it has filters images with real-time rendering, as in Photo Booth for Macs.

There is also a dual LED flash, one amber and one blue, to help with adjusting white balance in low light photos. The iPhone camera flashes those two lights before shooting to assess the scene illumination and then uses the best combination of both during shooting actually. This is the first camera in the world to do something. Of course, the practical effect is large because of the limited power of the lamps.
