I think s4 will be better due to bigger screen its easy to read and write emails plus its compatible with almost any thing unlike iphone.

S4. Much better. iPhone 5 is a failed set. Apple is getting rotten day by day.

bro.. i have used both s4 and i 5.. S4 is way ahead of i5.

I m also in favour of s4 as we can also install apps from black market and its os is more versitile...

For ur father s4 or any other android would be too difficult to handle... IPhone is simpler and very very close in performance, hence my suggestion is iPhone,

For a simple, yet elegant phone to use I recommend iPhone 5.
If your father likes new stuff, wants to try out the air-swipes and stuff, then go for S4.

I would say S4, since accessories are vastly available- imagine he forgets iphone 5 charger at home, kinda hard to source one.
S4 chargers, china ones cost only 100rupees and is widely available:=)

I love my iPhone 5:)
i had note II before that ,and my mom surprised me with iphone 5.
i sold the Note II the same day at a heavy loss in market for 44,000 in april i think, and i am happy with my i5:P

Only reason why i recommended S4 is, especially for old-school people, much less hassle to do things;
call log extends months back, while on ios just 1 week at most i think.
universal chargers available everywhere, lightning one costs 3500(genuine)
and the list goes on:P

Biggest issue i am facing with iphone 5 is on ufone. It sends me random messages, and i have to press" decline" otherwise screen stays on even though auto-lock is for 1 minute, my battery went flat once ;/

my mom enjoys ios more than android, and she finds iphone easy to use so yeah depends on the person:)

INB4 ios vs android <.<

Battery f-ucked up in a single use guaranteed! Never use those China chargers... These phones are very sensitive

I bought a charger for my Note II for 150rs. It had the Samsung logo on it, but for 150rs i can't think it was real haha:P
I usually charge my phones through laptop, i feel more safe that way.

For a senior person I guess iphone will be more good choice.

Agreed every time they picked up any iPhone experience would be same they don't have to learned new things. In android ui differs from company to company.

[hamza_xeg]

S4 might be the best choice for him.

If that is the case then get him a good android phone. If he is into some business then buy him HTC One, iPhone 5 or Sony Xperia Z. These phones will suit a businessman Other wise S4.
