Although Galaxy S5 is way older and just a little thicker than the Google Pixel 3, it's construction is still just a little lighter. Galaxy S5 features a little better hardware performance than Google Pixel 3, because although it has a lower amount of RAM memory and a lower number of cores, it also counts with a graphics processing unit.
Samsung Galaxy S5 has a much better looking screen than Google Pixel 3, because although it has a little bit smaller screen and a little lower resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, it also counts with a greater screen density. The Samsung Galaxy S5 counts with a bit better camera than Google Pixel 3, because although it has a tinier camera sensor providing a worse image quality and a smaller diafragm aperture which is not good for low-light photography, and they both have the same 3840x2160 (4K) video definition and the same video frame rate, the Samsung Galaxy S5 also counts with a back facing camera with a way higher resolution.
Samsung Galaxy S5 counts with a little bit better memory for games and applications than Google Pixel 3, because although it has only 32 GB internal memory capacity, it also counts with an external memory slot that supports up to 128 GB.

Although Galaxy S5 is a better device, it costs a lot more money than Google Pixel 3, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as Google Pixel 3. So if you need that extra specs and features, you can buy the Galaxy S5, otherwise you can save a couple dollars and buy the Google Pixel 3, resigning a couple specs and features.
