Which is better iphone 5s or samsung galaxy s4 and why?

They are both nice phones. Choose which one depends one what mobile OS would you prefer.
iOS is easier for use, Android goes with more apps.

Ok.
The iPhone 5 is very good and it works better than all the past iPhones by far. (5S is a bit better, 5C is practically the same). With iOS 7 it is very smooth and it is very reliable and nice.
The Galaxy S4 is more customizable. You have a few more options, a few more things you can do, and more. (I haven't ever owned one tho lol)
It's pretty much up to what you want. A more customizable phone, or a more widely used phone that is more mainstream.

The 5s because the smasung galaxy s4 uses face recognition for the password there are at least 3 people in the world that look like you and nobody in the world with the same fingerprint.
the galaxy s4 features with the eye scrolling and all the face stuff doesn't work unless you are standing straight up and the only good thing that works is the hand motion thing.
the proccessor is made by apple in the 5s it has a a7 (2x faster than a6 in the iphone 5) and a m7 proccesor. The camera is better even thought it is 8 mp and samsung galaxy is 14 mp
iphone has added bigger pixels and it allows that to let in more light leading to a better quality picture with the isight camera has more feature like burst mode and all that other stuff.

ios 7 is better than any operating system.

and iphone is known for breaking easily the iphone 5s has been drop tested against the s4
since the iphone has a metal backing, it lasted longer and did not crack at all as the sansung galaxy did.

so the iphone is the better option.

S4 has more features and customization for less money, but the iPhone 5S has better build quality and support.

Do you want a Ford Mustang or an E Class Mercedes? That's pretty much the choice you are making.

As a user of both iOS and Android, it really depends on your preferences.

Hardware-wise, they're virtually the same. Both faster than you'll ever need, with plenty of power for games/videos/whatever you want to do.

The main difference between iPhones and Android is, obviously, their operating systems. I personally prefer Android for the following reasons:
- More control over the phone, such as browsing files
- Ability to add custom ROMs (different/multiple operating systems)
- Far more customization and it is easy to make the phone your own
- As an small-time Android developer, the free-to-program SDK and license-free distributing is a plus

Of course, an iPhone is not without its advantages too:
- Software updates controlled by apple, meaning you'll get the new updates (like 7) As soon as possible
- All phones are identical, meaning it's been polished and smoothed to near perfection (?)
- Arguably a better App Store
- If all your friends have iPhones, they play better together than with Android
- If you're a mac user, your phone can sync effortlessly with any apple product you own
- Personally, I like iPhone's size and design more than any Android phone I've seen

An analogy I like to make is this: Android is like a stick-shift: It can be a little more difficult to use, but once you get the hang of it you have much more control and can do a lot cooler things than with an iPhone. Also, each stick-shift is a little different, so your Mustang drives differently than your friend's Camaro. IPhone is like an automatic transmission, doing most/all of the work for you to get a smoother, arguably more pleasant driving experience, at the cost of your control and power.

In the end, I would recommend the Galaxy if you consider yourself tech-literate, and iOS if you're not so much. I love being able to quickly code an app to change the behavior of my phone without a developer license, but I do miss the fluidity that comes with Apple

S4 it has way more features and you can do so much more than with the iphone. I personally hate ios

Pretty much what Pharaoh Z said Galaxy for more of the techie person and iphone if you want something simple functional and easy to use interface and design
