AnonD-89109, 14 Jun 2014Everyone knows that. DXO's rating is not only for still image quality, in includes video and a... moreDxO is not at all reliable for phones and their rating is BS. They rated iphone 5s above lumia 1020. EPIC FACEPALM.

Galaxy s5 has much much better video recording both at 1080p and 4K and it just crushes any other smartphone in video in detail levels, dynamic range and contrast. Even z2 and g3 pale against s5 in video recording.

Regarding photos, s5 is the best android phone for daylight photography, panoramas( 60 MP panoramas) and HDR. It also has insanely fast autofocus with hybrid AF. The low light camera quality is bad in auto mode but turn on the stabilization mode along with HDR and you'll get very usable pics which match z2.

All in all, DxOmark is useless but s5 is a very capable camera.

BTW How is your expeience with m7???

Have a nice day

      Tcool, 14 Jun 2014Yeah, Huawei is better than iPhone.I have an ip5s and can say it is great, but has its flaws. I do agree that Huawei products are great as well, but they have their flaws as well. Every phone has its flaws.

        allu, 14 Jun 2014bst mobile is lumia mainly 1020 & 1520 Everyone knows that. DXO's rating is not only for still image quality, in includes video and all those stuffs. But yes, I am surprised to see S5 taking top spot, especially when the low light performance is below average.

                  Snapdragon 801, check.

                  Camera 16 mp ,check

If your remote control is bad simply biuy another remote control very cheap. That is not an excellent feature in a mobile phone. Ask good question please.
