Galaxy S5 captures much clearer photos and videos than HTC One max, because although it has a tinier aperture which is not good for taking photos in poorly lited situations, it also counts with a bigger sensor capturing higher quality photos and videos, a back-facing camera with much more MP and a much higher 3840x2160 video definition.
HTC One max features more memory to store more games and applications than Samsung Galaxy S5, because although it has an external memory card slot that admits 64 GB smaller, it also counts with 32 GB internal memory capacity.
