CAMERA
Samsung is one of the biggest camera producers in the world, so don’t you be surprise if you know Samsung has equipped good cameras for their smartphones including Galaxy S5 and they always emphasize it to remark that Galaxy S5 has one of the best cameras on smartphone. In fact, I think S5’s camera is better than M8’s camera, S5 has a 16 MP rear camera with 1080p HD and 2.1 MP front camera with 720p HD, compared to 5 MP rear and front camera with 1080p HD of M8. With a better camera, S5 provides detailed and beautiful pictures more than M8, I don’t say M8’s camera is bad, it’s also good but if it’s compared to S5, S5 is better.

BATTERY LIFE
Samsung has equipped a 2800mAh battery for S5, more 10% than M8’s battery (2600mAh). The larger battery helps S5 runs longer than M8 (about 11 hours compared to 7 hours 12 mins). Moreover, Samsung provides a function called Ultra Power Saving Mode to help user can lengthen battery life. This function helps S5 to be absolute winner about battery life when it’s compared to M8.
