Samsung Galaxy S4 is equipped with over-powering hardware and amazing set of features which makes it probably the best Android smartphone to date with over 5 million shipments in 2 weeks. So if you are thinking to shift from iPhone 5 to Galaxy S4, here are 10 reasons how it beats the iOS device.

1. Infrared Blaster

Galaxy S4 features an IR blaster which allows you to control TV sets and cable boxes. It may be corny to some owners but you can use your phone to control entertainment right on your palm.

2. Near Field Communication Technology
Latest devices running Android now features NFC technology which can be used to swap photos between phones, make mobile payments or pair it with a stereo. It is an additional wireless connectivity aside from Bluetooth and Wi-Fi you can use whenever you desire.

3. More Memory, More Fun
It is undeniable that iPhone units have limited amount of memory and requires iTunes syncing to retain stored data. Galaxy S4 supports up to 64GB of external memory and can even store data files without requiring duplicate copies on your computer.

4. Removable Battery Pack
Even iPhone can suffer low battery status no matter how long lasting it may be. Unfortunately, you cannot carry additional battery for it unlike with Galaxy S4 in case you wanted to have extra energy on your way.

5. Larger Screen
Overdo for some, but larger screen today is better when it comes to smartphones. Movies, music videos and streaming are great to view on a larger screen display.

6. New Features on the Camera App and HD Mode

Galaxy S4 captures HD video but also features new trick on its camera app including the GIF capture, blurry background images and erasing details you don't want to. The next generation iPhone should have new and unique camera features to defeat S4's imagery.

7. Smart Stay and S Health
When you are reading, Galaxy S4 allows you to read or watch videos without interfering the dimming of the screen. Smart Stay tracks if you are looking at the phone and determines to dim it when you're away and resumes it back when you're looking again. S Health is another feature allowing the smartphone to monitor your heart rate, exercises and diet.

8. USB and Charging Port
Samsung Galaxy S4 uses micro USB port to charge and transfer files to your computer. It is commonly used among devices today which mean you can borrow your friend's connectors. iPhone have its own port and requires you to always bring your cable.

9. Android Customisation
Jail breaking iPhone only allows certain privileges but fully customising the looks and interface is not totally possible. Rooting the Galaxy S4 grants full administrative control which allows CPU tweaking, RAM management, UI customisation and flashing of custom ROMs.

10. Favourable Applications

iPhone have plenty of applications available for download but not all are available in iOS. Setting aside the morals on applications, Android can use torrent apps, download videos instead of simply streaming and install APKs from other sources without requiring administrative access.
