In most large corporations, whether it be American, European, Asian, etc, there are foreigners working there. Even Samsung has been poaching Americans for its chip business. This is obvious to anyone with a bit if sense.

    django, 13 Aug 2014iPhone is not about specs... their lower MP camera gives... moreThe 20MP (Sony camera) is hardly a good example, since it cannot beat the majority of other Android flagship cameras.

    The CPU is a fair point, much more efficient, you can stick to that stronghold.

    As for services, in Samsung you are getting services too (they provide alternatives to virtually every other Google service).

    If you really must compare the two phones, what really sets the S5 apart from the iPhone 5S (other than the Android advantages over iOS) is the sheer amount of sensors it packs, great *replaceable* battery and reasonable price tag.

    The iPhone 5S has to it's advantage the much improved ARMv8 CPU, more compact size (an often forgotten reason) and premium build quality. All else is being done elsewhere (Android) and often times even better than on the iPhone -- and for a more reasonable price too. WIN-WIN!

                      I think samsung should improve its branding. People still don't regard it as a luxury product. When I use a samsung product, I see it as a mass market product with high-end technical spec but not a premium brand.

Very few electronic products today, much less mobile phones, are sourced entirely from a single country. The Galaxy S5 has American CPU and GPU, Japanese RAM,Dutch NFC receiver. Even the hyped up heart rate sensor is American, not Korean.

                            And you most likely have an American Desktop OS (Microsoft / Apple)

                            You most likely have an American Chrome Book.

                            Your Samsung most likely is running the Qualcomm SoC, which is based in America.

                            Even when you post at GSMArena, the machine you use have most likely something to do with American.

                            So please do not bring your hate of Apple on America. Without them, you won't be commenting on here!
