I was about to buy Z2, I like it more as a design and I thought its camera would be superior over S5, but after watching this video, man... I don't know. The S5 looks better on the most categories... and the sound is way better and realistic. Tough I don't wanna buy S5, I don't like the design and I read that its material feels kinda cheap. I can't decide now...
I'm the same, want to buy the Z2. Don't forget, this video was using Z2 on auto mode which means it was only using 8MP capability whereas if he was using the manual mode it would have been using the full 20.7MP and would probably be better.
soulja boy yes but Samsung does this in full resolution wich is 16 megapixels and the z2 only 8 megapixels in manual you can use the full 20.7 megapixels
+lorisje wuytens Manual take much worse photos if you dont know what are you doing. Superior Auto is easier to use in the Z2. Which is kind of lame if you ask me, manual S5 Photo Mode is much simpler but just as good.
As much as I'm a Sony fan and a true and loyal Sony and Sony Xperia user, (since Xperia P,U,J and M) I admit that the Galaxy S5 won here, I know more of us expects the Z2 will win in terms of camera on paper and the galaxy S5 has no match to it, but shockingly watching this vid proves many of us wrong and in disbelief, I should say that Sony must fix their Camera process algorithms on their next firmware update, it's too bad for such a great camera phone.
Like you said both set to auto, go into manual mode the Sony leaves it to dust, and the Samsung colours look more saturated as always. I agree with the flash it seems the Samsung is better but it also depends on settings. In video the Sony beat it hands down, colours looked real and not saturated like the s5.
An excellent comparison! I have a Z2 and my wife has an S5. I find that the S5 has overall a better camera in auto mode. It's auto focus is much better and it gets a clearer image nearly every time whereas my Sony is much more hit and miss in it's superior auto mode. And this is a shame because in terms of pure specs, the Sony should trump the Samsung! Images on my Z2 are often less vibrant than on the S5 and this applies even when lighting conditions are ideal. The HDR in the Samsung is also much better than the Sony and it can also be previewed before taking a shot, unlike in the Sony. Regarding video, I found both to be decent although as the reviewer noted, the Samsung's audio quality was 'richer'. The Sony's audio quality almost had a cheaper mp3 quality about it which again is a shame considering Sony prides itself for it's audio quality! It might sound like I'm being very biased towards the S5. But in fact, I really like the Z2 camera when it's auto focus is working ok. I find that the S5's images can be over saturated or 'too colourful' at times. However this might also be due to the S5's AMLOED display? Saying all this, I'm hoping that Sony have done something about their auto focus in their newer smartphones like the Z3 and newer Z3+. The Galaxy S6 is supposed to be a massive step up in terms of camera as compared to the S5 (which itself has a great camera IMHO). Sony shouldn't be playing catch up with Samsung but it appears they're doing just that when comparing their high end smartphone cameras. Oh well, perhaps the Xperia Z5 will wipe the slate clean????? For now, I'll give the better camera award to Samsung, despite preferring my Sony for everything else especially GUI!
S5 beats the Z2 hands down. The Z2 is slightly better in terms of detail and dynamic range due to the 1/2.3" F2.0 sensor, but the S5 is significantly better when it comes to color reproduction and that is very important. Software in general really seems to be far better on the Samsung phone. The Z2 does seem to have better image stabilisation for video than the S5 though, but the S5 mic is considerably better.
you've done a great job!! Congratulations!!! And..thank you very much..your video helped me decide: i will buy samsung s 5...i know that samsung is good cause i have an s4, but i was atracted by xperia z2 for the 20 mp camera... Thanks to you i realized i should never give up on samsung!!!
Front facing : Sony looking sharper then samsung, Samsung did a great job in audio and larger angle Rear facing camera: Sony's camera did great job in taking more natural and original color , Samsung did it in over saturated and make it look like a big dot of red at the flower
Xperia Z2 is more than billion times better than the S5 hands down, no competition here. The Z2 looked so much better and even the stabilization is so much better
if someone is ready to take on manual shots every time, hen he/she should go with Z2. otherwise if you mostly use ur phone to capture memories fast and frequently i would suggest S5.
Z2 takes crappy pictures when set to full 20mp; however, when set to superior auto mode (8mp), sensor pixel-binning will kick in and the results will be a lot better!!!
Everything is really well detailed and covered in this video, thanks Saf! But honestly I think that the focus test is useless, or it is done in a wrong way. I mean the cameras don't even change focus, you just move it from one subject to another, and the focus is still unchanged. I would suggest trying to focus on 1 object and then the background, and doing so more than once, to confirm the focus speed.
For type of user: For a regular smartphone user (90% of them) on auto mode = S5 the best choice For an advanced smartphone user (the rest 10%) on manual mode = Z2 with no doubt You choose what type are you...
Jonathan Atmaja the video and the whole thing about here is which phone captures better images/videos. For a DSLR comentary watch DSLR video comparisions, end of the story...
it is true that colour and resolution on S5 is really good, but it seems to be unreal. For example, a bright red object through s5 will turn into orange. On contrary, Z2 is so much closer to bring out the real thing as your eyes look at things. So definitely Z2
You can increase color saturation on Z2... so even if S5 looks more vivd in these videos, you can actually make Z2 display as, or more vivid colors than S5.
Both do a good job to be honest but I've had a z1 compact which they say is the same 20.7 megapixel as the z2 , but z2 has better software .The reason I sold the z1 was the camera, it wasn't the best in low light . I own a s5 at the moment and think it is a great camera , just think Samsung need to stop over saturating the image and really improve there software all over the platform, both phones will not have me selling my rx100 anytime soon
i have both. and auto settings the s5 wins handsdown. manual mode the z2 takes it. i just hope sony updates their camera software coz it sucks in auto mode.
You can get better foto quality on sony with manual settings if you know how to use it, one more thing, always clean camera lens and keep it safe from scrarches.
Yıldırım Sertbaş the pictures taken outside are much better on the z2 in my opinion. The quality of the camera is far superior and catches greater detail. You tube doesn't do both these cameras justice, I've got a z2 and have compared it to the S5 which it beats most of the time

NEW VIDEO: Following popular demand a SuperSaf style camera shoot out of the Samsung Galaxy S5 vs Sony Xperia Z2. Which do you think is better?
xperia z2 is better,, natural color,
S5 is better,but i think Xiaomi3 is the best.
Vincenr Han Haha ,I want laugh again! Xiaomi3 is the best??Are you sure?
yes ,MIUI is the best UI,Samsung and Sony'S UI is ugiy,now i think Xiaomi4 is the best it is also cheap and beautiful.
+Sagar Reigns thats right
S5 all the way. Great informative video. Thanks
In vidéo of caurse the z2 is better so in picture he is tooooo much better man
I had both ones and i think S5 is better in general. Although , z2 front camera is better than S5 front camera.
I was about to buy Z2, I like it more as a design and I thought its camera would be superior over S5, but after watching this video, man... I don't know. The S5 looks better on the most categories... and the sound is way better and realistic. Tough I don't wanna buy S5, I don't like the design and I read that its material feels kinda cheap.

samsung also used auto mode man

sure dont look like it..s5 is a beast
AYDELL2123 S5 sucks. Z2 raped Hard The S5 in all the aspects!
Spot on Armando
I think S5 is batter ,S5's software technology is better than sony,SONY's UI is ugly.
We r all entitled to our opinions and preferences
You make some of the best camera comparisons !

+lotfi bendar you mean z2 is better
+lotfi bendar i am die hard fan of sony phones

1. Nokia Lumia 1020
2. Samsung Galaxy S5

S5 looks more vivid and the audio sounds better
If you talk about réalité the z2 is better but in luminosity you can lumist the z2 in application in the caméra. So the Best is the z2
Everything is really well detailed and covered in this video, thanks Saf!

I really like Samsung S5 camera very amazing! But I still prefer Sony Xperia Z2 as personal smartphone ;)
Thank you for this beautiful video and s5 is the best
Good job. Your video is helpful
The Z2 picture is real and natural whereas S5 camera is over saturated..Z2 wins in every aspect...
Z2 is way better... Dude its sony camera, nothing you can compare to sony camera. Im a s5 user and z2 after 1 week i sold the s5 quz z2 nailed it!
For type of user:
For a regular smartphone user (90% of them) on auto mode = S5 the best choice
For an advanced smartphone user (the rest 10%) on manual mode = Z2 with no doubt
You choose what type are you...
I'd better choose DSLR if you want to be more advanced.
Jonathan Atmaja the video and the whole thing about here is which phone captures better images/videos. For a DSLR comentary watch DSLR video comparisions, end of the story...
I think I'm that 10%, I'm not the type to do the quick 'selfie', or quick photo, whatever, I like to customise shit.
I love the blind tests. thanks
it is true that colour and resolution on S5 is really good, but it seems to be unreal. For example, a bright red object through s5 will turn into orange. On contrary, Z2 is so much closer to bring out the real thing as your eyes look at things. So definitely Z2
how do u know..u wasn't there to see which wad real..but wut we can see..is the s5 pics looking way better..sry..try again
You can increase color saturation on Z2... so even if S5 looks more vivd in these videos, you can actually make Z2 display as, or more vivid colors than S5.
For audio I prefer Sony Xperia z2 but for quality the galaxy s5 :)

The post processing of the S5 makes it look better due to its contrast and saturation. You should compare RAW files though.
I want to prefer the z2's camera, but the s5's was just better. I think the z2 slightly edged ahead at 4k recording though.
why don't you learn taking photos with the same sets in both phones? You are lieing.
awesome video, thank you
love the z2 more but the s5 win hands down !!!
Please we want camera comparison between xperia Z 3 and the S 5
Htc One m8 vs galaxy s5??????
I guess the edge goes to the s5 here, I still like the z2 better as a phone.
i have both. and auto settings the s5 wins handsdown. manual mode the z2 takes it. i just hope sony updates their camera software coz it sucks in auto mode.
So who is win ??? Where is answer ???
You can get better foto quality on sony with manual settings if you know how to use it, one more thing, always clean camera lens and keep it safe from scrarches.
HTC ONE M8 VS LG G3 pleasee
Z2 natural color..i like
Watching in 2022 😎
S5 is better over all.
Shame on 'the best mobile camera in the world'( in ads in my country sony says that)
The z2 speakers sound is a bit Tanny..
The S5 embarrassed the Z2 ...
8mg of Xperia is better than 20.7 ( sharper and more details)
Such a pitty the s5 can't be used under water although it is water resistant well I guess thst makes thr z2 the winner for me .
The microphone of the s5 looks like better than z2
s5 better..
Hahaha..... I felt pity with people trying to say that z2 is more powerful than the gs5... Cant you see the differences in the vid???
Z2's front facing camera recording sound are not natural
z2 has given true colors
is this made by samsung
Galaxy s5 is noticeably better overall...
S5 is bullying flagship phones out here hence why they're winning but their software ain't perfect
SONY when it comes down to quality
Z2 Amazing Camera (unprocessed image)
S5 wins!
Bruno S. No, it's definitely not the Sony Xperia Z2 champion
Audio from Z2 is not good enough.
I think both...
Z2 for me!
Shamefully flagship release with sound quality. Z2.
Galaxy S5 is better than Z2 :)
S5 winner!
S5 ftw!
the s5 is super vivd but z2 more flat
Samsung galaxy s5 has win! :D
s5!
Both are great!But iPhone 5s sucks!
Xperia z2 is more better in night!!!!

Yıldırım Sertbaş and deaf...
Yıldırım Sertbaş the pictures taken outside are much better on the z2 in my opinion. The quality of the camera is far superior and catches greater detail. You tube doesn't do both these cameras justice, I've got a z2 and have compared it to the S5 which it beats most of the time

Like you said both set to auto, go into manual mode the Sony leaves it to dust, and the Samsung colours look more saturated as always. I agree with the flash it seems the Samsung is better but it also depends on settings. In video the Sony beat it hands down, colours looked real and not saturated like the s5.
Z2 is better
5 better.
