Both have a swipe-based fingerprint sensor in its home button. It  is expected to have it more strengthened with retina scanner as well.

Series 4 had faux leather (plastic) with metal band edges. GS5 feels like leather with a dimpled texture which gives a sense of metal, both are comfortable in hand. Aluminium finished edges, with an all metallic curved body that makes it look classy.

We expecting that company will arrange same type of bigger battery for Samsung Grand 3 device too, so that we can have device with good battery life.
