Tech Talk Episode 1 - Smartphones Show Notes


In this episode, both the Samsung Galaxy S4 and the iPhone 5s are compared and contrasted. Listed below is a chart showing the specifications of each phone, in terms of features, camera quality, display, etc.

Samsung Galaxy S4
-original home button
-13 megapixel camera
-5 inch super amoled display
-17 hours talk time on 3g
-16/32/64gb (optional memory card slot)
-runs with Android 4.3 jelly bean
-4.59 ounces
iPhone 5s
-touch ID sensor
-8 megapixel camera
-4-inch LCD Retina display
-10 hours talk time on LTE
-16/32/64gb
-runs with iOS 7
-3.95 ounces
-Siri

We then further the discussion of these smartphones by talking with two passionate smartphone users, who share their opinion on which phone they think is best. For instance, my first interviewee says that she prefers the S4 because of the 13 megapixel camera, and the fact that additional memory can be added through the memory card slot, a feature that the iPhone is lacking. We then contrast this view with Mary’s opinion, who says “Siri” is a benefit for the iPhone user, and so on.
