Comparison: samsung galaxy s5 vs bq aquaris 5 hd

Today we will face the already known in these parts, Samsung Galaxy S5, against a smartphone with a 100% Spanish seal. We are talking about the BQ Aquaris 5 HD, a terminal that stands out for its good value for money. Throughout the article we will check which of the two terminals are more suited to our needs or is more profitable for the pocket, always taking into account if their specifications and amount are in proportional harmony. We begin:

Cameras: The battle for megapixels is won by the Galaxy with its 16-megapixel sensor, up from the 8-megapixel Aquaris 5 HD. The S5 model features functions such as Selective Focus (clearly capturing what you want, giving depth and professionalism to your snapshots), higher speed between shots and shots, and a very precise light sensor; while if we talk about the Spain brand we will say that it has a proximity sensor, brightness sensor, Dolby ™ sound technology and autofocus. The front lenses of the Samsung and the BQ have 2 and 1.2 megapixels respectively, which also in the case of the Chinese model is backlit and wide-angle. They are also capable of recording video, of higher quality in the case of the S5 thanks to its UHD 4K @ 30 fps quality. Its HDR mode is capable of capturing bright and sharp colors in low light situations.

Processors: the difference between their CPUs and GPUs is truly remarkable: we have a 2.5 GHz Quad-core and Adreno 330 from the Samsung, and a 1.2 GHz Quad Core Cortex A7 SoC with a PowerVR Series5 SGX544 graphics chip in the case of the Spain brand. The Ram memory of the Galaxy is 2 GB, while that of the Aquaris 5 HD turns out to have 1 GB. Both smartphones have Android as the operating system, in version 4.2 Jelly Bean by the BQ and 4.4.2 Kit Kat if we talk about the Samsung.

Screens: They are practically identical thanks to the 5.1 inches that the Samsung presents and the 5 inches of the Aquaris. They differ in resolution, being 1920 x 1080 pixels in the case of the Galaxy and 1280 x 720 pixels if we refer to the BQ . The S5 is characterized by super AMOLED , which It allows you to have more brightness, reflect less sunlight and consume less energy. The BQ features IPS technology, which gives it a wide viewing angle and very sharp colors. Both screens also have Corning Gorilla Glass 3 glass protection in the case of the Galaxy and Gorilla Glass if we talk about the Spanish model.

Designs: The S5 has a smaller size of 142 mm high x 72.5 mm wide x 8.1 mm thick and weighs 145 grams. Its back has a texture of small perforations that give it originality and most importantly, comfort in the grip. The Samsung Galaxy S5 also has the IP67 certificate, which means that it is a smartphone resistant to water and dust. The fingerprint scanner gives you great security. We can find it available in four attractive colors: the classic black and white, in addition to gold or blue. The BQ for its part has a size of 141.8 mm high x 71 mm wide x 9.1 mm thick and weighs 170 grams. The novelty with respect to the normal Aquaris 5 is its thickness, managing to be a little thinner thanks to the 0.8 mm less it presents.

Batteries: The Galaxy starts with the advantage of having 2800 mAh, compared to the 2100 mAh presented by the Aquaris, which, having less power, will have an autonomy that will not go unnoticed.

Internal Memories: the two phones have a model on the market of 16 GB, although in the case of the Samsung model we must add that it has another 32 GB for sale. Both terminals have a micro SD card slot, up to 64 GB in the case of the Aquaris and up to 128 GB if we refer to the S5.

Connectivity: both devices have basic connections that we are used to like WiFi, 3G, Bluetooth or FM radio , although in the case of Samsung we also have 4G / LTE technology in mind .

We can find it on the website of pccomponentes for 665 - 679 euros depending on the color and version of 16 GB. The Bq Aquaris 5 HD can be found on its official website for 199.90 euros, starting price also for the standard Aquaris 5, which have been forced to reduce its cost by 20 euros (179.90 euros) to maintain both devices in the market.
