Samsung recently unveiled its latest flagship, the Galaxy S5. It is a big release as it has been compared with the iPhone 6 throughout. As the details and specs of the Apple iPhone 6 is yet to be revealed, this comparison will be based on rumours.
Design
The Samsung S5 does not have any huge changes in terms of design. As the screen has been increased a bit only as compared to its predecessor, the body work has expanded a little in all directions. The corners are squarer but looks like round in shape and are surrounded with silver plastic ridged texture. The back of the device has a panel with matte finish and dimpled texture.
Apple's iPhone 6 is anticipated to have curved edges instead of its traditional straight edge design. It will also sport the power button on the right panel of the device rather than on top panel which is seen on current iPhones. Further, an updated modified volume buttons are placed on the side panels.
