Galaxy S5 for me.
A lot depends upon what is important to you. I recently opted for a Samsung Galaxy 5 over a similarly priced iPhone (the iPhone was around $100 more) in the Boost Mobile system which uses the Sprint network.
My decision was governed by what was important to me:
1. Galaxy 5 has a 16 megapixel camera vs. the 8 megapixel in iPhone.
2. Galaxy 5 is waterproof for 30 minutes under 3 feet of water; iPnone doesn't resist water.
3. Galaxy 5 has expandable memory and exchangeable memory chips; iPhone memory cannot be expanded over whatever it has when you buy it.
Either phone was available at full price from the Boost Mobile store, no contract required, with three tiers of service available. I chose the middle tier which was $45 a month for unlimited talk and text and 5 Gigabytes of data a month.
There is a Galaxy 6 available, but I opted against it because the owner cannot replace the battery and there is no expandable memory. Also it is not water resistant, and it costs more than the Galaxy 5.
As I said, determine what is important to you, study the specifications, and make your choice.
