Heart Rate Sensor Comparison: Samsung Galaxy S5 vs. Galaxy S4 vs. iPhone 5s [Video]

Posted April 7, 2014 at 3:22pm by
A new video from macmixing compares the heart rate sensor on the Samsung Galaxy S5 with heart rate sensing apps on the Galaxy S4 and iPhone 5s.

Using the Runtastic Heart Rate Monitor app, both the Galaxy S4 and iPhone 5s were able to get a reading incredibly close to the heart rate detected by the Galaxy S5.


Take a look at the video below! You can download Runtastic from the App Store for free.

Maybe it's the phones probably telling why they don't read well. Because it's not perfect without apple making it first just like the watch.

It's just a free app, but look at it! It's much better than Samsung's hardware. Love you Apple, love you iOS, love you iPhone.

As most of the things built on Samsung, it's all gimmick. Finally somebody is telling the truth.
