Comparison review
Galaxy S5 is slightly better than the Galaxy S5 Sport, with an 80.8 score against 77.8. The Galaxy S5 design is a little lighter and just a little bit thinner than Galaxy S5 Sport, although both were released only a couple months apart. Both of these phones use the same Android 4.4.2 OS (operating system), so they should provide the user all the same OS features.
Samsung Galaxy S5 counts with a bit more vivid screen than Galaxy S5 Sport, and although they both have a display of the same size and exactly the same 1920 x 1080 resolution, the Samsung Galaxy S5 also has a better screen pixels density. Galaxy S5 features a little better performance than Samsung Galaxy S5 Sport, and although they both have 4 processing cores, the Galaxy S5 also has a much better graphics processor working at 500 megahertz and 1 GB more RAM memory.
Galaxy S5 features a very superior storage for applications and games than Samsung Galaxy S5 Sport, and although they both have a SD memory card expansion slot that holds up to 128 GB, the Galaxy S5 also has 32 GB internal storage. The Galaxy S5 Sport's battery life is just as good as Samsung Galaxy S5's battery performance.
Galaxy S5 features just a bit better camera than Galaxy S5 Sport. They have the same video frame rate, the same 3840x2160 video resolution, the same camera sensor size, a same resolution camera and a F2.2 aperture.
Although Galaxy S5 is a better device, it costs more money than Samsung Galaxy S5 Sport, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as Samsung Galaxy S5 Sport. If you want to save some money, you can get Samsung Galaxy S5 Sport, and give up a few specs and features, but you will get the most with your money.
