Next month I'm getting either the iPhone 5s or the Samsung S5 which one should I buy? I know there both good and they both have there ups and downs but I'm just curious of what you guys think, I think the Samsung S5 is so big but it's open source and has a really good processor and a really good camera but the iPhone is closed source but very reliable I still have my 3Gs and it's never failed me and everyone I know has one

Edit: Thank you everyone who commented, I think i'll be going with the Samsung S5:biggrin:

I've been with Apple since the iPhone 4 so I'd tell you the 5S, but since within the next few months it's rumored the iPhone 6 might come out so you might want to wait until then so you can avoid getting a 5s abd 2 months later the 6 is here. I currently have a 5 and I'm waiting for the 6.

I strongly prefer Android, though don't get the whole open source thing wrong, it's not as open source as it used to be.

Between the both, definitely the S5 because I prefer Android over iOS.

Are you talking about Google making it "less" open source, or the companies that make the phones? Because it's not surprising that some companies want to lock down their phones as much as possible. But I haven't noticed a change in how open source android is, since development of custom ROMs is still going strong for most devices, even the ones that are locked down completely.

EDIT: To stay on topic I'd go with the iPhone 5S, but only because I have a 4 right now and I'd like to keep my current configuration. If I had to start fresh I'd go with the S5

I'll break it down for you:
iPhone 5:
  • Good apps
  • Simplicity
  • Siri
  • A7 processor (pretty damn good compared to the A5 and A6)
  • LTE (I came from 4s with 3G)
Galaxy 5:
  • Waterproof AND dust proof
  • Open source (limited but still note worthy)
  • Fingerprint scanner
  • Heartbeat monitor
  • Great themes that can be installed without root
  • 1.9ghz quad core processor (damn!)
  • Sexy design
  • not ****** apple
  • made by google
  • gucci as f*** ( Nix Nix can agree)
  • swag
Go with Galaxy.

iPhone 5S.

Try to get one still on iOS 7.0.x so you can Jailbreak it.

I would pick the s5. I personally like samsung but its more that that. The s5 in my opinion is a lot faster and has a lot more features. I favor android over ios as well.

Definitely be the iPhone 5S...
Delivers an improved camera, a nifty fingerprint sensor, and a next-gen CPU and motion-tracking chip. Apple throws in the iWork app suite for free. Including AirDrop file transfers and the Android-like Control Center.

You pretty much getting an android +++

You could possibly wait for the iPhone 6 that is rumored to have an August release date

Wow really!? Why was this moved here? I'm not asking for help I'm asking for peoples opinions about these Mobile Operating Systems... This thread was moved 3 times now first to iPhone then twice today... This is about both phones so it shouldn't be in Apple iOS or Google (Android) it should be in Mobile Operating Systems that's why I created it there

Both are very great phones. If you have to upgrade now I'd go with S5 (I haven't use it yet). If you can wait to upgrade I'd try and get the new iPhone to be honest.
