Since I am using both devices, i found both are good.My own review will come soon but here is what gizmag is saying-
There's no single way to make a great smartphone, and these two phones are a great example of that. One is small (at least by today's standards), with an equally small screen, a premium build, and hardware and software both made by the same company. The other is much bigger, with a spacious screen, plastic finish, and a boatload of eye-catching features.
So which do you go with? Well, I don't believe that there's going to be one universal answer for everyone, so let's take a closer look at what each phone brings to the table, and try to help you to find the phone that works better for you.
The biggest plus that large phones give you is, of course, plenty of screen real estate. The Galaxy S5's display is big and beautiful. Diagonally, it measures 5.1 inches, with 1,920 x 1,080 resolution. The iPhone's screen is 4 inches, with 1,136 x 640 resolution. To put that in perspective, the iPhone only gives you 62 percent as much screen as the GS5. It also only gives you 35 percent as many pixels (though I don't think that sharpness difference is nearly as noticeable as the size difference). If you're on a mission for maximum screen and maximum crispness, then your choice is clear.
Both phones have great cameras. The GS5 takes shots in a higher resolution (16 MP to the iPhone's 8 MP), which can help if you're blowing up shots to enormous proportions. But it also has one big Achilles' heel. When you fire up the Galaxy S5's camera from the lock screen, it takes a good five or six seconds before it's ready to snap a shot. On the iPhone, I can jump from lock screen to taking a picture in about 2.5 seconds. If you have to wait over twice as long as competing phones to use the Galaxy S5's camera, well, that's a big strike against it.
If you're leaning towards the iPhone – or if you just wish you could have the GS5's big screen on an iPhone – then you might want to keep an eye on Apple's release timeline. Leaks are pointing to a 4.7-in iPhone 6 launching within the next three to five months. Another 5.5-in Apple phablet is rumored to land at some point after that. I wouldn't take any one leak too seriously, but the scuttlebutt has been pretty consistent on this one. If an iPhone with a bigger screen is what you really want, then you might regret throwing down for one of these two just a few months earlier.
As we said at the top, though, we don't pretend to have a one-size-fits-all answer for you. People have different tastes, which is part of what makes the world so interesting. What I do hope is that the key differences we've zeroed in on here help you to get a better sense of which phone will work better for you.
