Samsung Galaxy vs iPhone (User friendly comparison)

[BURTONboy]

I am getting about tired of iPhones (not enough storage and seems slow to me) and have been wanting to try the Samsung Galaxy line of phones, but i'm scared of getting a phone I have a hard time using. So i'm curious, just how hard/easy is it to use? Is it compareable to an iPhone after a few weeks of messing around with it?

Tried Galaxy, went back to Iphone... Way to much to learn on the Galaxy, I liked the simplicity of the Iphone. Just one mans opinion...

I really like my s5 active, it's not as simple as the iphone, but it has a great camera and a big screen, if you can used to the size, it's pretty big

I have been using the Galaxy for about 3 years. Really like it..

It does not take long to get the hang of it.

I have a 4 active

IPhone 5 and it is 16gb (i think). Just seems this phone, or maybe its att, is the slowest phone ever and I never have enough space on it.

Had an S4 & S5 - both went out on me.. Got the Iphone 6 plus & I love it.

Yall say s5 active, is that kind of like iphone 5 or 5s? Or what does 'active' mean there?

The 6+ is an amazing phone compared to the 5. You can also get up to a 128gb which is what I have.

S5 Active for me, APPLE?? Not in my house. I like to tell my devices what it can do, not the other way around. Not hard to use at all.

I had iphone for 6 years, and switched to Galaxy because of the ability to add memory and change batteries and to try something new. I dont dislike the galaxy but it is not for me. I will be going back to iPhone when this one breaks. Also, the new galaxy 6 does not have a spot for a memory card, so if you want a phone with a lot of memory be prepared to spend some money.

After having the galaxy for year now, I dont see any speed difference. I still get pop ups saying that "google play has stopped working" or such and such is not working and I have to close the program and restart it. Not a major inconvenience but...
I do like the widgets though and the app "aCar" for my MPG and vehicle expenses. Those are really the only 2 reasons I have not tried real hard to trade it out.

Good luck!

I've used Samsung phones for several years. My wife has an iPhone, and it seems complicated to me. In reality, they're both very user-friendly, but you just have to use one of them long enough to get comfortable with them. My Galaxy S5 Active is a great phone. There are a lot of things it does that my wife's iPhone either doesn't do or doesn't do as well. There are a few things that hers does better than mine, but most of those are apps and functions that are minor that I don't have a need for anyway.

Not really... Galaxy s5 is the "regular" phone and Active is a "water resistant" phone for the more active people that fall in rivers and drop their phone in the sink or toilet. Same phone just different case.

The note series has a simple mode for people new to smart phones; I dont know if the Galaxy line has this feature.

My dad got a Note and he's on it all the time, with few problems.
