    james2312, 05 Jun 2014Hi dear community, the S5 is the clear winner. I really do ... moresony (ericsson) fanboys are known as one of the worst trolls in mobile world. they've been trolling the internet since 2001.
    if you don't believd me... well, you can check old phone reviews and see it yourself (they trolled on mostly nokia and siemens reviews) .

                  The S5 pictures are clearly smoother and more detailed.

                      How does the S5 have the better camera?
                      The S5 pictures came out looking like blotches of paint.

                      Sony clearly had the better camera.

                        And that tests overall. As far as photos go the 1020 and 808 are still on the top.

                          Sony still needs some heavy work on software tuning, but maybe you need to learn some real facts before trolling places and bashing.

                              Android Fan, 04 Jun 2014Xperia Z2 has the best camera among all smartphons. The s... moreYou should learn to read and understand objective facts before trolling places and calling others fanboys.

                              First off they clearly state that it's an overall camera test. Not just photography where the 1020 and 808 still blow the Z2 away.
                              Also if you looked phones like the S4 Zoom and the better S5 have not been tested yet.

                                cheesesteakwit, 04 Jun 2014To bad the LG G3 is better than both first off Sony's phone... moreYou can like the looks of the G3 better, but the Z2 and S5 have more technical advantages.
                                And the Z2 might have slightly larger bezels, but also makes up with stereo speakers up front. Which negate most of the extra space used.

                                  MdN8, 04 Jun 2014For 'best camera' title it needs Xenon, otherwise it's just... moreNo. It's the best overall. Only the 1020 and 808 beat it and only in photos.
                                  And it only loses to others in low light. In most other conditions including moderate light and a few low light shots with certain aspects of light it wins.
                                  Video is another one too. Phase detection yada on. If it works the overall best than it is the overall best.

                                    I'd have to say these are my two favorites and overall best right now.
                                    However all flagships are great right now. And it will all boil down to preferences.
                                    Of course when you want to talk technical facts the S5 still holds the overall lead of phones right now.

                                      I will go with S5 because it is more useful and I like the rounded edges. They say it's ugly but we put cases on our phones right?

                                        I don't get it.xperia z2 got the noise cancelling headset plus stereo speaker that is even better than m7 but beaten by m8 with a slight margin.In the end, z2 audio output is even weaker than s5?I don't know what to believe anymore.:-/
