AnonD-81824, 04 Jun 2014u saw colours but not the noise .. !! are you serious ??yes in low light
new sensor, crude firmware (like in z1)
also high ISO because no OIS
and F2.0 vs F.2.2
I said about color, detalization and dr
not about low light shot in comparing with G3 (they have ois)

    "Winner: Samsung Galaxy S5. The daylight shots were clearly superior and it does relatively okay in the dark with the flash on." So ... wait for Z3

        Why on earth do we have to argue over two phones?!

        At the end of the day, pick the one to your tastes and needs and stop bashing other phones and companies!

        Hebe jebes or what!

          By overall it seems the S5 won more aspects than the Z2 - tho not by much.
          Tho the Z2 won me over on several keys aspects:
          - Design
          - Battery Life
          - Lowlight-no flash Indoor photos (this is where I took my pics the most)
          - Noise cancelling (which unfortunately being left out the review).

            ok mr eq5555, can we conclude AMOLED/ISOcell is gimmic with punchy colours hiding details ..

            1)AMOLED is greenish/bluish
            2)AMOLED may burn-in in time
            3) all new smartphones have better cameras with comparable image quality

            make it fast ... fact is fact u have to agree

                  AMOLEDs are green/blue tinted which will increase with aging aand may have even burn-in .. even kids knows are u not even born ??

                                mavsaurabh, 04 Jun 2014i just read comments . i wish to clarify some doubts and/or so called facts Samsung s5 sti... moreAgain agree with you. In dark areas samsung pictures are far behind Sony and HTC. s5 doesn't show ANY details in shadows of dark places.
                                They just oversaturate colors to attract people. Whether screen,,or camera.
                                From what I understood, in dark areas, they oversaturate colors and put a black tint on shadows to hide noise. But what is the point of reducing noise when all of that details are gone? its just my opinion,but it's completely obvious in night shots.
                                They are Just using some filters to change the pictures but camera itself is very weak & the final result is not natural, but pleasing in first look. That's how they cheat people.

                                  I tested an S5 and it performed pretty bad on multitasking. Hate the look. And don't like the picture quality. I am using note II and love it but I never gave a thumbs up of their S lineup it always under performs base on its advertisement. Held the Z2 and it feels good, snappier and have great multitasking capability. Camera is best and a beast compared to S5. Are the reviewer even know how to use a camera correctly lol.

                                    AnonD-81824, 04 Jun 2014OLED's i havent seen much .. im telling about S3/note2/note3/s4/s5 .. its blue or green tinted... moreyes, the tint is super annoying,it was unbearable on my Note 2, the smallest tint would turn white to blue, when browsing the web i often found myself adjusting the angle of the phone as accurately as i could to get a good view, and still it was like it never got ok, if the bottom was ok then the middle was blue. So distracting when i actually should be reading.

                                    My N9 wasnt that bad, it had a clearly visible green tint but it wasnt always present like on note 2.

                                    I also tested Note 3 when it came out and i have to admit it was a lot better than Note 2 but the blue tint was still there even at small angles. i cant approve of it, and also BlackBerry is using that crap, im afraid their next high end model will also use it and then i be left with no options for buying a new phone. AMOLED is really a dealbreaker.
