Comparison review
The Galaxy S5 is a bit better than Sony Xperia Z4v, having an 80.8 score against 78.8. The Galaxy S5 is an older device than Sony Xperia Z4v, but Samsung was able to make it a little bit lighter and a bit thinner. Both phones in this review use Android OS, but Galaxy S5 has 4.4.2 version while Sony Xperia Z4v has Android 5.1.
Galaxy S5 has a processor that's just as good as Sony Xperia Z4v's processor, and although the Galaxy S5 has a worse graphics processing unit and a lower number of cores , they both have the same RAM amount. Galaxy S5 has a display that is very similar to the Sony Xperia Z4v one, because although the Galaxy S5 has a bit smaller screen and a way worse resolution of 1920 x 1080, it also counts with a just a bit higher count of pixels per display inch.
Galaxy S5's memory to store more games and applications is very similar to Sony Xperia Z4v's one, both have exactly the same internal memory and a SD memory slot that allows a maximum of 128 GB. Xperia Z4v has a bit better battery lifetime than Galaxy S5, because it has a 3000mAh battery capacity. Xperia Z4v features a little bit better camera than Galaxy S5, and although they both have the same 30 fps video frame rate and the same 3840x2160 (4K) video definition, the Xperia Z4v also has a back facing camera with a lot higher 20.7 MP resolution, a larger aperture for better photography and video in low-light environments and a bigger sensor which gives a higher photo and video quality.
Although Galaxy S5 is a better device, it costs a lot more than the Xperia Z4v, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the Xperia Z4v. If you want to save some money, you can get Xperia Z4v, giving up a couple features and specs, but you will get the most with your savings.
