Boss wants me to get a smart phone. I looked at the plans/phones offered through work and the Samsung Galaxy looks to be the better choice.

Aside from the S5’s much better battery life (and slightly larger size), is there much noticeable difference between the two? The S4 would be free, but the S5 would cost an additional $200.

My primary interest would probably be which takes the best photos. I’ve got a nice little camera (Canon SD780), but I don’t carry it with me because a) I already carry a ton of stuff in my pockets, and b) It’s MY camera, dammit, and if it gets broken I’d rather it wasn’t on the job.
