This document summarizes several methods for treating and disposing of e-waste:
1) Incineration reduces waste volume by burning e-waste at high temperatures, but releases hazardous emissions like cadmium and mercury.
2) Reuse involves slight modification of still-functioning electronics like computers and refilling inkjet cartridges to reduce waste generation.
3) Landfilling buries e-waste in trenches, but heavy metals can leach into soil and groundwater over time.
This document discusses e-waste and its management. It defines e-waste as obsolete electronic equipment like computers, TVs, and cell phones. E-waste is a growing problem due to the toxins it contains and risks of improper disposal. When e-waste is burned or dumped, its components like lead, mercury, and flame retardants can pollute the environment and harm human health. However, e-waste also contains valuable materials that can be recovered through formal recycling. Proper e-waste management and recycling can help address this issue in a more sustainable manner.

Design and Construction
Samsung Galaxy S5
Designed to weather the elements.
The Galaxy S5 retains the DNA of the rest of the Galaxy family. It has a curvier back than the last-
6. gen S4, and also has a leather-textured back, much like the Note 3 albeit with the stitches along the
sides. The back also has an interesting (for the lack of a better word!) dimpled design, which bears
an uncanny resemblance to the first-gen Nexus 7 tab manufactured by Asus. The S5 has dimensions
of 142.0 x 72.5 x 8.1 mm, and tips the scale at 145 g. The phone comes with an IP67 rating for being
water resistant and dust proof. It integrates a fingerprint scanner into the Home button at the front,
and brings in a heart rate sensor at the back, just below the camera. The soft-touch back of the S5
feels good in the hand, but does little to aid one-handed use on this rather larger phone.
Buzz Rating:
Apple iPhone 5s
Beauty meets quality.
There's very little to tell the Apple iPhone 5s apart from its predecessor, the iPhone 5. In fact, the
dimensions of the 5s are the same as the 5, 123.8 x 58.6 x 7.6 mm, and weighs in at the same 112 g
as the latter. The latest iPhone strikes the perfect balance between metal and glass, giving it a very
rich feel. The main physical difference between the two generations of iPhones is the trend-setting
fingerprint scanner sitting beneath the surface of the Home button surrounded by a metallic ring.
The iPhone 5s sits snugly in the hands, and it is perfect for one-handed use.
Buzz Rating:
The two companies have ideologies that are worlds apart, and this is most evident in their approach
towards the design elements on their flagship devices. The Samsung Galaxy S5 is a step up from the
S4, but still retains the same polycarbonate construction. The Apple iPhone 5s, on the other hand,
shines in its metallic armor and oozes with class. Also, the smaller size of the iPhone tilts the balance
in its favor when it comes to overall build quality and usability.
Hardware and Storage
Samsung Galaxy S5
Top-of-the-line hardware.
A Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 chipset with a 2.5 GHz quad-core Krait 400 processor that ticks away
inside the S5 ensures that the phone breathes fire, and it simply decimates the opposition with its
processing power. The phone brings in 2 GB of RAM to ensure that multitasking is a breeze. The S5
comes with 16 GB of internal memory and also has a memory-card slot that supports up to 128 GB
Micro SD cards.
Buzz Rating:
Apple iPhone 5s
7. A complete powerhouse.
At the heart of the iPhone 5s is a dual-core 1.3 GHz Cyclone processor on board an A7 chip with 64-
bit architecture. There's also Apple's M7 motion coprocessor, which helps store data even when the
phone is asleep, working away in a low-power state, and even helps save on battery life. 1 GB of
DDR3 RAM ensures super-smooth multitasking. The 5s comes in 16/32/64 GB variants along with 5
GB of iCloud storage.
Buzz Rating:
The iPhone 5s is deceptively powerful and makes short work of all tasks assigned to it. The Samsung
Galaxy S5 too is super powerful, and in fact, has the fastest processor on an Android device in the
market. The S5, however, reigns triumphant with its superior storage options and an industry-first,
support for 128 GB Micro SD cards.
Graphics and Display
Samsung Galaxy S5
Over-saturated beauty.
The phone has a large 5.1-inch Full HD Super AMOLED screen with a fantastic pixel density of 432
ppi. Watching videos on the S5's large screen is an absolute delight, with the Adreno 330 GPU
churning out the graphics effortlessly. The display is protected by a sheet of Corning Gorilla Glass 3
which helps keeps those nasty scratches away.
Buzz Rating:
Apple iPhone 5s
A treat to the retina!
The iPhone 5s has the same screen as its predecessor. At 4-inches, the wide, multi-touch screen
shines in all its glory, thanks to its beautiful Retina display (326 ppi). The display has real high
contrasts and looks stellar, especially when viewing images captured using the phone's camera.
Buzz Rating:
Both phones have fantastic displays which are nothing short of spectacular. The Galaxy S5 though,
edges past the 5s, with its larger display with a Full HD resolution. Also, the higher pixel density of
the S5, along with the unmatched saturation (oversaturation!) of the Super AMOLED display, is a lot
more pleasing to the eyes, if not superior to the display on the 5s.
8. Camera and Optics
Samsung Galaxy S5
A very capable snapper.
Armed with a 16 MP ISOCELL camera at the back, the S5 makes for a great stand-in for a point-an-
-shoot camera. It features a superfast auto focus, which fires up in just 0.3 seconds. The S5 is
capable of capturing extremely detailed shots, but its real USP is the ability to record at
2160p@30fps. Apart from this, the phone has some real useful camera modes, and other tweaks
which make photography a fun experience on the Galaxy S5.
Buzz Rating:
Apple iPhone 5s
Great hardware and software for photography.
Over the years, iPhone cameras have really captivated our imaginations with their fantastic color
reproduction properties and simple camera UI; this is no different on the iPhone 5s. The phone
comes equipped with an 8 MP snapper with 1.5µ pixels. It also features a True Tone flash which is
great for portraits. The camera locks on to the subject really fast and captures great slow-motion
videos (720p@120fps).
Buzz Rating:
These are amongst the very best smartphones in the market, especially when its comes to their
prowess in photography. The 5s captures some brilliant images with fantastic color reproduction and
very little noise. The Galaxy S5, however, blows the competition right out of the water with a more
powerful sensor, and the ability to record videos in 4K resolution.
9. Software and Customizations
Samsung Galaxy S5
TouchWiz and KitKat in the mix.
Samsung are known for their antics when it comes to software tweaks and customizations. The
Galaxy S5 serves as a perfect platform for the Korean giant to once again showcase its software
skills. The phone runs on Android v4.4.2 KitKat with the latest TouchWiz on top. You can also find
Samsung's answer to HTC's BlinkFeed, with its Magazine UI. Apart from this, you can finds loads of
software tweaks which often tend to border on the lines of gimmicky. The fingerprint sensor works
just fine, and Samsung has left the door open for developers to make the most of this feature. The
heart rate sensor also works without any glitches, as advertised.

Apple iPhone 5s
iOS reloaded.
All the software changes that Apple has brought about in its OSs have had a very clear thought
process behind it. The same is the case with the latest version of iOS on board the iPhone 5s. iOS 7
brings in a complete overhaul of the OS, it is a lot more fluid, and brings in loads of eye candy too.
The game-changing fingerprint sensor works like a charm, although it is set to work only to unlock
the phone, and validate iTunes purchases. The other software tweaks like Control Center, AirDrop,
etc., are intuitive and extremely handy.

We will steer well clear of stirring up the hornet's nest. The iOS and Android battle has been going
on for ages, and in all probability, will go on for many more years. Both OSs on these very capable
phones shine in all their glory. We, however, are just a little inclined towards iOS 7 as it brings in a
lot more useful features than most of the gimmicks played out by the heavily-skinned Android OS on
the S5. When it comes to the fingerprint sensors and Samsung's heart rate sensor though, we
cannot, for the life of us, see these being anything more than an advertising stunt.
Battery Life
Samsung Galaxy S5
Scraping through the day.
The S5 is powered by a 2,800 mAh Li-ion battery. The battery itself is user-accessible. You should
just about make it through a day of moderate use on a single charge on the Galaxy S5.

10. Apple iPhone 5s
One day at a time.
A 1,560 Li-Po battery powers the 5s through the day. The battery though, is non user-accessible, and
you would just be able to squeeze a day of moderate use out of the phone.

This probably is a case of choosing the lesser of the two evils. The battery performance of both these
devices leaves a lot to be desired. The S5 though, with a removable battery, and the option to charge
the phone with a standard Micro USB cable, edges out the 5s.
Final Words
Both phones bring in the very best hardware complemented by great software. The die-hard fans of
both camps are bound to be over the moon with the flagships of their respective brands. These
phones are bound to sell very well, and barely cross each others paths when it comes to sales, as
they are meant for two very different markets. The Samsung Galaxy S5 is undoubtedly set to sell a
lot more than the iPhone because of the huge difference in pricing. We would, however, like to point
out that both these heavyweights have not really come up with anything that wows us. The S5 is cast
of the same mold as many other phones of the Galaxy, and there's hardly been any hardware
innovation from these companies that are believed to be at the forefront of innovation in this field.
It would seem just a little unfair to compare two flagships of different generations. Samsung has
already revealed its cards, and now the world awaits the iPhone 6, which has got the rumor mills
running nonstop. Your move, Apple.
