NEW VIDEO: A SuperSaf style camera comparison of the Sony Xperia Z2 vs iPhone 5s! Looking at both front and rear facing cameras and at images and video. Which do you think is better?
Love your videos, Saf. Really enjoyed the fact you put the pictures side-by-side without showing which camera took it right off the bat to ensure it doesn't influence our own opinion. On some pictures, I believe the Z2 did a better job but it's undeniable that the iPhone 5S also did a really great job even with its 8 MP. Looking forward for future videos.
The S5 was significantly better than the 5s, more than I was expecting. When you zoomed in to 100% there was simply no comparison at all. The only fair way to compare is to "always" show images at 100%. When you did it with the flowers shot there was so much more detail on the yellow centre of the flowers with the white petals.
I'm iphone5s user.. i agreed that the sony xperia z2 blow away the camera of the iphone 5s.. but in some point I love both camera, now I decided to swap my 5s to z2. Thank you Saf 😁
Great video. I really appreciate the split screen comparisons. I just ordered the Z2 and am switching from a 5s so I'm excited for the change in device.
That's true, but it is fascinating ? That the Sony "supplied" camera performs so much better on the Apple iPhone compared to Sonys own phone! That's like saying for example, you've got 2 cars, A BMW and a Mercedes, both cars have a identical "BMW supplied engine", but that very same BMW engine is faster and more Superior in the Mercedes?!?! It just doesn't make sense? It could be that General IOS software is more superior to androids software. I just don't know, but it is crazy,
Afg Embbi what? Men, iphone's sensor was made by sony, Do you think that sony is going to do a better work on the iphone's sensor, than on his own phone. Thats sooooooo duuumb
Wrong. Iphone 5s wins on OS everything else is z2. Why? Manual mode kills 5s and i own both of them, even iphone6 is not as good as manual mode of z2, Hi-res audio using flac audio formats which iphone is not as good as z2's music capabilities Waterproofing, can shoot under water, with this you don't need go pro 4k video for people who have 4k TV which 1080p is pixelated on a 4k tv Battery life doubles the battery of iphones.. Customizable unlike iphones Try to zoom in on a PC and see that iphone doesn't have much details at 100% crop against the z2 which is clearer when cropped/zoomed in
Finally a real comparison. It's obvious that the Z2 has better rear facing camera both in taking a picture and in video recording. The front facing camera goes for the iPhone but it's not that important.
Supersaf ! Did u use HDR mode on the 5S ?? It produces way better colours with HDR...and the Z2, did u use Any mode or just the default settings ?? Keep up the good work !
Actually Sony can get VSCOCAM as it's an iOS and Android app. Downfall for me is not having Mextures and Camera Plus. For photo and video I have an Android and it's so frustrating that I know why it's not my primary device and why I will always have an iPhone.
Id just get the new iPhone 6 I'm getting the 6 plus and the 6 one of each, you will have the best of both worlds getting the new iPhone 6 "big screen, it being an iPhone 😆, and just an all around better product and better experience" unlike android/Sony
I have my Z2 for 2 years now and this is what i think....Z2 makes good pictures but only in good lighting,sometimes the colors are too vibrant and unnatural,also front camera is the worst camera i have ever seen when used in low light,literally like i took a photo with a potato,i used iPhone on few occasions and the camera is much,much better and shows true colors :) but Z2 has better battery ,is faster and has more options overall :)
you can set muti focus settings on the z2 even touch to focus. the Z2 wins in every way except the front cam and flash. plus you should mention the display its part of the photo process.
the clerity on the z2 is better than the iphone 5s but the 5s can capture more light and make the image look more vivid due to its 1.4 micron pixel technology
on the blind test I always end up choosing the iPhone, except for the flower shot, though color reproduction is what I prefer on iPhone, bokeh effect is a lot better on Z2.
why didn't you show night photos and videos with objects moving fast (like cars/trains)? Are both of these phones so weak with low light or fast movement?
Been using my iphone 4 sice its release and its jailbroken, its fast its display is great and i have dropped it for more than 10 times on hard surface and its working well and ios 6 is better than new ios'es no point in upgrading but if i had to choose between the 5s and z2 i'd choose z2
Strange how the Z2 has more than twice the megapixels but there seems to be more detail in the 5S shots. This review is making me rethink my Z2 purchase -_-;;
***** he didn't it is only 8mpx.. but still sharper.. colors are not even tweaked, i doubt that he even tweaked the focus points and metering modes to make better shots :) whitebalance as well to make it warmer and shoot same colors as the iphone has :) again, let a pro camera users use Xperia and see how much it will be better on Apple iphones :)
I have had both phones and I find the z2 to be the more valuable all in one device. Its too big for me but the lack of androids open software and multitasking features makes it more usable than the iphone. Unfortunately my z2 is unusable due to a hardware failure after 11 months and is not covered under warranty since it is an international version.
If you take a little time to optimise the camera settings on the Z2 to suit the environment, it will absolutely destroy the iPhone 5s' camera, hands down... The iPhone camera wins on simplicity and ease of use, but for an enthusiastic smartphone photographer, the Z2's camera is hands down far better than that of the iPhone... I am not biased, this is just the reality. You get more features, higher resolution if you want it, and 4K video with better sound quality...
There is no doubt the iPhone has a great camera but the mics on the Z2 more than make up for any shots that were minutely better on the 5S. Both great overall cameras either way.
i have used android phones for two years .. i first owned galaxy s3 then i bought an s4 .. and now i have the note 3 ... believe me i am sick of their amoled screens and their faulty cameras and their inaccurate colors .. they over saturate the pics all the time .. i saw my brother's iPhone 5s camera and it's just mind blowing .. i am switching to apple as soon as iPhone 6 is released
the sony has a 20 mp cam but u have to choose it automaticly every time otherwise it will shoot with 8 MP i wonder if this was shot with 8mp or changed everytiem to 20 MP. i dont like apple and iphone much but i have to say that the cam is really awesome !!! for an 8 mp cam. it can compete against higher MP cams.
sorry the sony beat it except in the last category with the flash, possibly the iphone looked a bit better in some of the selfies but in others the sony better. The other categories no match whatsoever especially in video quality. The gap is too wide
microphone: z2 wins more loud and clear front cam video: iphone 5s wins more bright but less details rear cam video (outdoor): z2 wins more bright and true color cam good light (outdoor): z2 wins more bright and vivid color cam indoor (terminator): z2 wins more bright and good color cam low light with flash: iphone 5s wins more reliable flash, z2 flash to over make loss details in pic
I dont have a sister lol. But people get angry when they cant be better. Here We got a Z2 Owner! Loves to Capture his ugly face with overexposed and macro pimple shots!

***** Yes!! although unfortunately, being as curious as i am... i just looked in his sun glasses and was able to easily figure which was which :P
Did you actually use the 20.7 mp manual mode on the z2 or not? If not update your vid And let pple know
Xperia All Day when u make posters you'll majorly notice the pixel difference
The S5 was significantly better than the 5s, more than I was expecting. When you zoomed in to 100% there was simply no comparison at all.

This is a nice tweak to your video to prevent bias ness man,love it. The Z2 audio loudness blows the 5s away man
Superb review. Subscribed!!
Now you have to redo all the comparisons before using your new way of comparing them because this is great!
A great video comparison of two great phones! Thanks for taking the time to do this!
Such a well produced video, really enjoyed watching it. A brilliant non-biased review of the cameras. Great job. More videos of the Z2 please!
Thank god someone knows how to make a comparison.
Thank you SuperSaf for your amazing detailed videos and this is exactly what I appreciate more when watching your videos. Keep it up! and thank you
Xperia Z2 just about wins for me.....I have one
The video and audio was better on the Sony in my opinion. And I'm a Apple fanboy.
You are right. (FYI I am a Samsung fan)
absolutely spot on, the sony kills it in video and audio and day and low light images except in close ups with the flash where the iphone rocks
I'm iphone5s user.. i agreed that the sony xperia z2 blow away the camera of the iphone 5s.. but in some point I love both camera, now I decided to swap my 5s to z2. Thank you Saf 😁
Great video. I really appreciate the split screen comparisons. I just ordered the Z2 and am switching from a 5s so I'm excited for the change in device.
Sony makes the cameras for iPhone, so basically sony automatically wins

qwertyqwerty2983 The Z2s camera is way better than the 5s?
Once you start playing with the Sony Z2.
Sony Z2 for video, iPhone 5S for all else.
Hahahahahahahaha
no.
Dracohappygamer Are you serious?! the iphone's camera destroyed the z2 camera!
Afg Embbi what? Men, iphone's sensor was made by sony, Do you think that sony is going to do a better work on the iphone's sensor, than on his own phone. Thats sooooooo duuumb
Dracohappygamer I know that guy needs glasses his vision isn't right. You should get that checked out
Wrong. Iphone 5s wins on OS everything else is z2. Why?
Manual mode kills 5s and i own both of them, even iphone6 is not as good as manual mode of z2,
Hi-res audio using flac audio formats which iphone is not as good as z2's music capabilities
Waterproofing, can shoot under water, with this you don't need go pro
4k video for people who have 4k TV which 1080p is pixelated on a 4k tv
Battery life doubles the battery of iphones..
Customizable unlike iphones
Try to zoom in on a PC and see that iphone doesn't have much details at 100% crop against the z2 which is clearer when cropped/zoomed in
Audio winner - Xperia Z2
Photo shots winner - IPhone 5S
Video Recording winner - Xperia Z2
Use manual mode.and photo shots will.be z2 not.iphone :)
Lol Apple camera is from Sony anyway
+cнrιsτιო yah xD
5S FTW!!
Love the new format of comparison.
Awesome review and it's very unbiased. I hope you make more reviews
Excellent video! :) great comparison and made it so people aren't bias. +1 for sure
nice format to comparing both cameras! i don't know why most people don't do this way
Finally a real comparison. It's obvious that the Z2 has better rear facing camera both in taking a picture and in video recording. The front facing camera goes for the iPhone but it's not that important.
not that important? omg a sony fantard
I'm not an apple man/fan, but wondering how Apple always manages to get such a great frontfacing cam in there. It beats most 1080p camera's....
iPhone's camera's are actually made by Sony. It's quite interesting when I found out.
***** Beats me.
Apple phones rnt totally Apple-made. They also get their products from Sony, Samsung, LG, etc
You guys are sick, the z2 camera is way better with better color repordutciont, but that freaking brainwashing from apple, man...
Apple can do all it's wants with software processing but at the end Sony gives a better high quality camera experience
GOOD JOB I BUT I AM STILL CONFUSED ABOUT BOTH WHICH ONE SHOULD I BUY.?
Great comparison, but.. I guess u should make a night comparison version.. Will be another great video.
cool one bro bless .may be the first asian lad done review mobiles on youtube cool.
I love your videos, quite informative :) Keep up the good work buddy.
This video was really helpful, thanks.
SuperSaf TV great job man. Indeed a supersaf style
Supersaf ! Did u use HDR mode on the 5S ?? It produces way better colours with HDR...and the Z2, did u use Any mode or just the default settings ?? Keep up the good work !
Do you know what apps the Sony is missing out on that the iPhone has? More specifically photo apps like vsco and afterlight. Thanks. x
Actually Sony can get VSCOCAM as it's an iOS and Android app. Downfall for me is not having Mextures and Camera Plus. For photo and video I have an Android and it's so frustrating that I know why it's not my primary device and why I will always have an iPhone.

Bryan Wallis holy shit, you're the biggest apple sheep i've ever met
Bryan Wallis if you opened your eyes you would see that the Sony won
Bryan Wallis You sound like a brainwashed iSheep.
As always. Great Vid Saf, Ps could you make a video comparison of witch smartphones out there got the best 4k camera? thanks.
Very helpful comparison test. Thanks! Subscribing.
In love with the Z2
I have my Z2 for 2 years now and this is what i think....Z2 makes good pictures but only in good lighting,sometimes the colors are too vibrant and unnatural,also front camera is the worst camera i have ever seen when used in low light,literally like i took a photo with a potato,i used iPhone on few occasions and the camera is much,much better and shows true colors :) but Z2 has better battery ,is faster and has more options overall :)
The same here. when i take a selfie in low light. my face looks like a monster. but when i take it in good light. the picture seems fine
ابو كرتونه lol
New format is great
cheers mate
its a wonderful review and unique one. 👍
Please do a z2 vs s5 camera comparison
great comparison!
Showing imagea without brand name 1st is good idea nice review...
Z2 is far better
you can set muti focus settings on the z2 even touch to focus. the Z2 wins in every way except the front cam and flash. plus you should mention the display its part of the photo process.
Good Video But why u not test them at night and with loud music or sounds??
puhahaha loved ending of the video. Thank you for the awesome comparison!
Hey supersaf
Your vids are awesome
Just a request
Can u compare the 1020 camera with the z2
Thanks :)
World Best camera smartphone sony xperia z2..Great job sony!!
1:03... Z2. Need i say more. 1080p always trumps 720p in detail
Great review!!!
Sony is clear winner in all aspects.
Hello dude, i want to buy new phone, what will you reccomend between iphone 5s, galaxy s5 or xperia z2, in all side? Thanks
Basicly its wider and sharper video on the Z2 and wider and sharper photos on the 5S... Damn!!!
1:09 I've been in that theater from rushey Mead school for a orchestra
one question the real life magenta flower was it more in tone and similar to the iphone 5s flower or sony xperia z2 flower ?
the clerity on the z2 is better than the iphone 5s but the 5s can capture more light and make the image look more vivid due to its 1.4 micron pixel technology
Z2 kicks ass
love the format. hiding the brand is such a good idea!
on the blind test I always end up choosing the iPhone, except for the flower shot, though color reproduction is what I prefer on iPhone, bokeh effect is a lot better on Z2.
It would help if you kept each device on the same side of the screen throughout your vid.
Great job!
I think I miss something so I'm gonna ask. Did you use 20.7mp on all the pictures of Xperia Z2 that you showed?
2:49 u don't put the label? but we can see the freaking camera's reflected picture in your glasses
why didn't you show night photos and videos with objects moving fast (like cars/trains)? Are both of these phones so weak with low light or fast movement?
In the surprise front camera comparatiom i can tel what phone made the picture by locking in you're glasses
Been using my iphone 4 sice its release and its jailbroken, its fast its display is great and i have dropped it for more than 10 times on hard surface and its working well and ios 6 is better than new ios'es no point in upgrading but if i had to choose between the 5s and z2 i'd choose z2
Strange how the Z2 has more than twice the megapixels but there seems to be more detail in the 5S shots. This review is making me rethink my Z2 purchase -_-;;
Well the z2 automatically takes photos in 8mp. You have to manually switch it to 20.7 mp in the settings. I'm not sure if he did so in the video.
Mourningrise375 He did. He even showed how you can zoom in farther in the pictures.
***** he didn't it is only 8mpx.. but still sharper.. colors are not even tweaked, i doubt that he even tweaked the focus points and metering modes to make better shots :) whitebalance as well to make it warmer and shoot same colors as the iphone has :) again, let a pro camera users use Xperia and see how much it will be better on Apple iphones :)

There is no doubt the iPhone has a great camera but the mics on the Z2 more than make up for any shots that were minutely better on the 5S. Both great overall cameras either way.
Did you shoot the Z2 in automatic ? Because if you did you get only 8 Mp pictures not 20Mp
which is better iphone 5s or lenovo k6 note in camera and in General ?
whichever wins thank Sony! they make the iPhone's camera too
2:50 didn't reveal the phone...but the reflection in your sun glasses did :P
To selfies, the true, the iphone 5s is the winner, but in the principal camera xperia z2 winner for much.
Z2 no doubt
nice bro !!!👍
How do I make the MMS auto download the image? Right now it will just say something like "Image is not downloaded"
why you didn't do low lite without flash?
Can make video about sony xperia z1 camera....front camera
front camera iphone 5s / rear camera xperia z2 / audio z2
I love how iphone 5s tones color is realistic and nice looking
how about selfie in low light though?
@SuperSaf TV can you help , i got a little problem with the front camera of my z2 , what can i do ?
i have used android phones for two years .. i first owned galaxy s3 then i bought an s4 .. and now i have the note 3 ... believe me i am sick of their amoled screens and their faulty cameras and their inaccurate colors .. they over saturate the pics all the time .. i saw my brother's iPhone 5s camera and it's just mind blowing .. i am switching to apple as soon as iPhone 6 is released
Xperia z2 absolutely best
Lol I'm sure I'm able to tell the which one was which from the reflection on your glasses
Super comprasion!!!!!!!!!Thank you
the sony has a 20 mp cam but u have to choose it automaticly every time otherwise it will shoot with 8 MP
i wonder if this was shot with 8mp or changed everytiem to 20 MP.
i dont like apple and iphone much but i have to say that the cam is really awesome !!! for an 8 mp cam.
it can compete against higher MP cams.
How about taking a underwater picture?
Software plays a big role after the shutter button is pressed
Good old days
which is better....i phone or sony..?
IPhone 5s is creating natural color when using camera or video.
But in sony xperia x2.. The Color Red is turning to pink whenever u use cam or vid.
Audio is better on the Z2 but when it comes to image quality I think the 5s takes the cake.
Why don't take night photo?
IPHONE 5S
Sony z2 for us , iphone 5s for kids.
yeah xD
Hetrs go hate lol
sorry the sony beat it except in the last category with the flash, possibly the iphone looked a bit better in some of the selfies but in others the sony better. The other categories no match whatsoever especially in video quality. The gap is too wide
microphone: z2 wins more loud and clear
front cam video: iphone 5s wins more bright but less details
rear cam video (outdoor): z2 wins more bright and true color
cam good light (outdoor): z2 wins more bright and vivid color
cam indoor (terminator): z2 wins more bright and good color
cam low light with flash: iphone 5s wins more reliable flash, z2 flash to over make loss details in pic
For only 8 megapixels,the iphone isn't doing so bad,but i prefer the Sony phone over all
the whole world : xperia is better than iphone
iphone lover and user : no, iphone is better than xperia
The whole world consists of iPhone users too
ken kautsar the whole world loves over exposed shots then!
I dont have a sister lol. But people get angry when they cant be better. Here We got a Z2 Owner! Loves to Capture his ugly face with overexposed and macro pimple shots!
bitch pls the samsungtard voe for iPhone in this
which one do you prefer?
iPhone 5S
There is a option to focus on the xperia z2...
sony xperia z2 is having a great camera compared to iphone
I like sony
