Comparison review
The Galaxy S5 has an overall score of 80.8, which is a little bit better than Xperia Z4v's overall score of 78.8. Both of these phones come with Android OS, but the Galaxy S5 has an older 4.4.2 version while Xperia Z4v has Android 5.1. Despite of the fact that the Galaxy S5 is older than the Xperia Z4v, it's design is a bit lighter and just a bit thinner.
The Xperia Z4v's processing unit is just as good as the Galaxy S5 one, and although the Xperia Z4v has a better 600 MHz GPU and more CPU cores , they both have the same RAM memory amount. Xperia Z4v counts with a display that is very similar to the screen in Samsung Galaxy S5, because although the Xperia Z4v has a little bit worse pixels amount per inch in the screen, it also counts with a bit larger screen and a higher resolution of 2560 x 1440px.
The Samsung Galaxy S5 and the Xperia Z4v count with quite similar storage for apps and games, both of them have an external memory card slot that allows up to 128 GB and equal internal storage. Sony Xperia Z4v captures clearer photographs and videos than Samsung Galaxy S5, and although they both have the same 30 frames per second video frame rates and the same 3840x2160 (4K) video definition, the Sony Xperia Z4v also has a larger camera aperture to capture better images and videos in poorly lited situations, a bigger sensor taking better quality pictures and videos and a back facing camera with a lot higher resolution.
The Xperia Z4v has just a little bit longer battery life than Galaxy S5, because it has 3000mAh of battery capacity.
Although Samsung Galaxy S5 is a better device, it is a lot more expensive than the Xperia Z4v, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as Xperia Z4v. So if you want that extra specs and features, you can buy Samsung Galaxy S5, but if you don't you can save some dollars and get the Xperia Z4v, giving up a couple specifications.
