Comparison review
The Samsung Galaxy S5 has a global score of 80.8, which is a little bit better than Google Pixel 3's general score of 80. Even though the Samsung Galaxy S5 is way older and just a bit thicker than Google Pixel 3, it's construction is still a little lighter. Galaxy S5 counts with a sharper display than Google Pixel 3, because although it has a bit worse resolution of 1920 x 1080 and a quite smaller screen, it also counts with a better display pixel density.
The Samsung Galaxy S5 has a slightly better memory for applications, games, photos and videos than Google Pixel 3, because although it has just 32 GB internal storage, it also counts with an external SD slot that allows a maximum of 128 GB. Galaxy S5 counts with a bit superior processing unit than Google Pixel 3, because although it has an inferior number of 2500 MHz cores and lesser RAM memory, it also counts with a graphics co-processor.
Google Pixel 3 features just a bit better battery performance than Galaxy S5, because it has a 2915mAh battery capacity against 2800mAh. The Galaxy S5 takes a little bit better photographs and videos than Google Pixel 3, because although it has a tinier back-facing camera sensor and a tinier aperture, and they both have the same (4K) video quality and the same video frame rates, the Galaxy S5 also counts with a lot better resolution back facing camera.
Although Galaxy S5 is a better device, it costs a lot more than the Google Pixel 3, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as Google Pixel 3. So if you want that extra features and specs, you can buy the Galaxy S5, but if you don't you can save some money and get the Google Pixel 3, letting go a couple specs and features.
