I remember when you were just a Lil guy with a potato camera filming your favorite cydia tweaks of the month!! I remember one of your first videos with the "nyan cat in the status bar" tweak! Just look how you've grown as a RUclipsr!
The eyes don't lie. The samsung galaxy s5 wins the 4k video test. The colors were more vibrant and saturated. However, in the low lighting test there wasn't much difference between the 2 cameras. Great job Ken...
I switched from S4 to Note3 few months back, and it was noticeable right away that Note3 has more realistic colors. S4 and now S5 have more saturated colors. Again, like everybody else said, the microphone is way better on Note3. Great video!
Very informative video! The Galaxy S5 tends to slightly over exposed and it has more vibrant, contrasty colours than the note 3. For the S5, greater contrast means more noise in the darker areas and more saturation means colour grading in post is not going to be as easy as the Note 3. Pick the S5 if you just want fancy looking video without post process and pick note 3 if you prefer a more natural tone or like to tweak stuff in post.
Nice video. I think the Note 3 looks better. The S5 was a bit to saturated, the darks were to dark (look at the trees) and the low light was terrible. Idk, that's just my opinion but over all, they both look good. I'll just have to give the win to the Note 3 tho.
Excellent comparison. Love the natural look of the Note 3 video over the S5's over-saturated, over-sharpened look with excessive contrast. Not to mention worse microphone and low-light performance. Only the focusing is quicker on the S5.
I am very happy with my Note 3 even in the year 2015. Your video comparrison is really useful. My guess is with a proper white balance, both devices will be about equal.
Hey man! I'm not interesting in phones, but i want to buy that fluid head that you used in this video. There aren't many reviews of it on youtube. Are there videos on your channel, where you are using this head and DSLR, so i can watch how really smooth it is for DSLR?? Thanks!
S5 for m3. Note 3 let me down on that test with the colour and the auto focus took alot longer. I like the vibrant colours so defo I winner for me is the s5. Nice vid m8 and stunning place u where at.
Well i personally like a little bit saturated color, the definition of s5 is better than Note3. Auto Focus in S5 is way faster than Note 3. Especially Contrast Ratio is greater in S5, so i would say S5 is better.
That's a really hard choice in these quick samples. What you obviously notice is how the S5 is more saturated. And as far as the mic goes the Note 3's was very loud and with one person. It does not deem a win yet. A concert or busy street would be a great test because the S5's still had great sound. Maybe a couple close up shots would have helped. At times I wanted to pick both. I'm gonna need to search something more in depth.
S5's footage has far more contrast/exposure which makes the footage slightly more "poppy" in terms of its colors, while the Note 3 seems to retain that natural look. S5 also has a shallower depth of field. Still prefer the Note 3 camera imo.
Can you hook up either phone to record to an external hard drive so that you have enough storage space if you were shooting a movie? Thanks for doing this. The S5 was crisper.
same thing in here with: - Optical Image Stabilzation - #HEVC HW Decode/Encode - 64 bit 8 cores CPU with 16 GPU cores - #QHD display based on #QuantumDot technology
Achwaq Khalid It probably won't have all that though. It might have OIS. It will retain an Amoled that might be QHD. I doubt the wrap around one still. It might actually have 4GB ram, but will more likely have the S805. Should be IP67 water and dust tight like the S5 though.
darkangelss6sic6 Naaah 😰😟😱 then I will have to wait for something else! Probably the #XperiaZ3 since ***** is already working on an 8 corez CPU, an #RX100 sensor in the camera department that would be huge revolution in the smartphone world
Achwaq Khalid Yeah. But that is the S810 I believe which is not set to be ready in time for the Note 4 unless they hold out a few extra months up to the beginning of next year to release it. Even with S805 Note 4 is going to be the all around best. And it will more than likely take a while "up to the second quarter of 2015" to see the first S810 device. Plus I wonder which Exynos will be in it and what improvements have been made.
Note 3, because it has more natural colours and the S5 has oversaturated colours, although the mic in the Note has static issues sometimes. S5 mic wasn't perfect though, was muted from waterproofing, I guess, although improvement over Note. Note 3 overall.
I'd probably say the Note 3 is better, the S5 heavily saturates the colours....doesn't look very true to life, but then again, if this was a video just showing the S5 4k abilities, it would look awesome!! Always makes a difference when doing a comparison.
I would say that the Note 3 is better overall, but they both are very nice. The S5 colors are a bit over saturated, particularly outdoors. The sound on the S5 is too muted. I actually had to check my volume to make sure that I hadn't turned in down. I guess this is from the water resistant build.
por favor quiero que me ayuden soi de republica dominicana y quiero saber como puedo conseguir un tripode de los que el esta agarrando los telefonos por favor quiero uno de esos
I don't get how it's possible that the samsung S5 can have a lower image quality in low light compared to the note 3 if it has a better sensor built in it.
Even though the s5 has 3 more megapixels than the note 3 they look almost identical as far as clarity but the s5 seems much more saturated and brighter and the note3 looks more natural in contrast than the s5. The note 3 looked quite a bit brighter in low light and less noisy! I'm surprised honestly, because I have a note 3 and I thought there was going to be a big difference in the camera technology but the note 3 seems to come out on top to me with less saturation, less noise and better in low light even with there being a 3-megapixel handicap. I'm not saying the s5 has a bad camera or anything like that, just that I'm surprised that the note 3 seems to do better.
Wow, I love the naturality of the S5. This is just the best Camera in a Smartphone in the world. Really, samsung, this Crazy cool Camera on the S5 is just brilliant. Much netter than the Note 3. You should activate HDR in low light rooms, that fixes this 'bug'.
very simple , The S5 has double the sharpness as the note3 , it doesn't matter at all that its more saturated since you can reduce that later on or use a different video app that controls color , Low light the s5 wins bc it doesn't wash out colors , sharpness is what matters.
Does anybody know how much bandwidth in mega bytes/sec is required to record 4K on the galaxy S5. I'm trying to find a 128gb memory card but really struggling. Do I need UHS-3 ?
The S5 have better colors in most scenes but when you were recording yourself, I think the Note 3 look a bit better. Obviously, the S5 has better focusing tech.
If you pay attention the note 3 took a little bit longer to auto focus back on the guy also the samsung galaxy s5 made the shot look more vivid because if you may attention the s5 camera made the nature look more colorful unlike the note 3 which in my professional Opinion made the grass, etc. Look a little faded compared to the s5 so hands down the s5 has the better camera
I don't think there is a big difference but the colors in the GS5 is a bit brighter tho And the note 3 did a great job in low light Where not talking about big difference tho
S5 is better outside in natural light comparing to note 3. Indoor light makes no difference and both give almost the same results. But note 3 is definitely better in low light.
Note 3 captured much realistic video that oversaturated S5. Also in low light, Note3 put S5 behind of it.But from AF point, S5 did much better than Note3.
I have the note 3, but the S5 is just better. Although the audio sounds better on the Note 3. You can sharpen the video on the note in post. But who wants to do that on a cell cam?
It actually make a lot of sense to not include 4K displays in phones these days. First reason is that the phones would need to have better CPU's and GPU's to make for a fluid experience on a so high-res, pixel-tense display. The other big reason would be that 4K displays would drain a lot of battery. A lot! And I for one would not be willing to sacrifice the already questionable durability of todays run-time on smartphones for a better display but even worse battery-life! So why even include a 4K recording option? Well because of the high res (3840 × 2160 instead of HD's 1920 × 1080) you have the option to zoom in on your recorded clip without losing that HD resolution. This is because you have so much pixels to work with. I can assure you for somebody who shoots semiprofessionally or something like that the ability to rescale your videos are golden! And by recording in 4K you will also, as Sony likes to put it, futureproof your memories.
I remember when you were just a Lil guy with a potato camera filming your favorite cydia tweaks of the month!! I remember one of your first videos with the "nyan cat in the status bar" tweak! Just look how you've grown as a RUclipsr!
Excellent video. Plus, I like how you captured Bigfoot in this video, he is in the background from 0:02 through 0:05.
Hey Ken love your videos the more I watch them your voice is so soothing keep up the good work...
Very good camera review! Nicely done, you were not biased, I am now going to subscribe
The eyes don't lie. The samsung galaxy s5 wins the 4k video test. The colors were more vibrant and saturated. However, in the low lighting test there wasn't much difference between the 2 cameras. Great job Ken...
Note 3 is better
MinecraftFan gs5 superior in so many ways
MinecraftFan galaxy s5 is bettar,i have the 2
***** yeah...agree with u
S5 colors are so over-saturated!
I'm so behind on info, I never knew my note 3 could shoot 4k video lol I like the colors better on the S5, but the sound rocks on the note 3.
I switched from S4 to Note3 few months back, and it was noticeable right away that Note3 has more realistic colors. S4 and now S5 have more saturated colors. Again, like everybody else said, the microphone is way better on Note3. Great video!

This makes me glad that I bought the S5! Thanks for this helpful video.
Note 3 looks realistic s5 looks vibrant
Nice video. I think the Note 3 looks better. The S5 was a bit to saturated, the darks were to dark (look at the trees) and the low light was terrible. Idk, that's just my opinion but over all, they both look good. I'll just have to give the win to the Note 3 tho.
Dupree Bowie ya same

:o
I am very happy with my Note 3 even in the year 2015. Your video comparrison is really useful. My guess is with a proper white balance, both devices will be about equal.
Note 3 smokes S5 in the low light department.S5 has wider field of view,more saturated colors.Note 3 has more realistic colors and much better mic!
Dude great reviews Congrats!!!! I just subscr.
Hey man! I'm not interesting in phones, but i want to buy that fluid head that you used in this video. There aren't many reviews of it on youtube. Are there videos on your channel, where you are using this head and DSLR, so i can watch how really smooth it is for DSLR??
Thanks!
note 3 looked great!! but i think im going to have to go with the s5 for my next phone, that camera is amazing!
Notice the considerable noise by S5 at the last part comparison in low light.
Great video ken, what kind of tripod and fluid head did you use? My note 3's 4k videos are always shakey even when using a tripod
Great video! I personally think that the Note 3 Cam is a little bit better :D
i hope you do a photo camera test. :D to compare the image quality from both
S5 for m3. Note 3 let me down on that test with the colour and the auto focus took alot longer. I like the vibrant colours so defo I winner for me is the s5. Nice vid m8 and stunning place u where at.
Hey there. Great video. Does the Galaxy S5 have the option to turn off autofocus? I noticed some of the shots have quick zoom adjustments.
Thanks.
Thanks, this was very helpful.
Nice work thanks!
There are really differences s5's auto focus and mic better than note3 and also colors and details better than note3! Thanks for video.
Ken Dai , could you please tell me , how is that device you are using to hold phones on tripod is called ? Thanks .
great comparison!
Well i personally like a little bit saturated color, the definition of s5 is better than Note3. Auto Focus in S5 is way faster than Note 3. Especially Contrast Ratio is greater in S5, so i would say S5 is better.

i love u sir and thx ALOT for doing this :)
Can you do Xperia Z2 vs S5 camera comparison please :D
hey ken which phone should i get note3 or s5
song name`s please? By the way fantastic video, subscribed.
Can u do a comparison between galaxy s5 & galaxy j...
nice comparison enjoyed the vid. s5 looks nice.
The note 3 actually sounded like the microphone was a little bit louder when you switched to it
Would you make video stabilization test?
See the comparison at 0:56
The Note 3 has more detail VS the Galaxy 5 which looks over processed!
Good video bro
S5's footage has far more contrast/exposure which makes the footage slightly more "poppy" in terms of its colors, while the Note 3 seems to retain that natural look. S5 also has a shallower depth of field. Still prefer the Note 3 camera imo.
Can you hook up either phone to record to an external hard drive so that you have enough storage space if you were shooting a movie? Thanks for doing this. The S5 was crisper.
The colors on the Note 3 is realistic and true to life.
Where did you get the clip that is holding the phones?
They both look really good, I think I prefer the colour palette of the S5 though.
Great video,
I'm very curious to see a camera comparison between iphone 6 plus and Galaxy note 4.. which OIS win
Wait for the Note 4 :)
Exactly! I am so waiting for the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 :)
same thing in here with:
- Optical Image Stabilzation
- #HEVC HW Decode/Encode
- 64 bit 8 cores CPU with 16 GPU cores
- #QHD display based on #QuantumDot technology
Achwaq Khalid It probably won't have all that though.
It might have OIS.
It will retain an Amoled that might be QHD. I doubt the wrap around one still.
It might actually have 4GB ram, but will more likely have the S805.
Should be IP67 water and dust tight like the S5 though.
darkangelss6sic6 Naaah 😰😟😱 then I will have to wait for something else! Probably the #XperiaZ3 since ***** is already working on an 8 corez CPU, an #RX100 sensor in the camera department that would be huge revolution in the smartphone world
Achwaq Khalid Yeah. But that is the S810 I believe which is not set to be ready in time for the Note 4 unless they hold out a few extra months up to the beginning of next year to release it.
Even with S805 Note 4 is going to be the all around best. And it will more than likely take a while "up to the second quarter of 2015" to see the first S810 device.
Plus I wonder which Exynos will be in it and what improvements have been made.
Thanks Bro
How do you turn on 4K video? I have a Paramore and Fall Out Boy concert in 3 days and I want to record the concert. Please somone reply thanks
Also note 3 sounded nice while recording 4K in the last as u switched from s5. The microphone in note 3 is louder.
Still can't decide!
Maurício Avellar hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Samsung s5 superb camera clarity
should i buy note 3 or s5 ?
+aaron Ramzey note 3
+aaron Ramzey definately note 3
+aaron Ramzey note 3
I think it's universal. Everyone considers note 3 a better deal overall
Note 3, because it has more natural colours and the S5 has oversaturated colours, although the mic in the Note has static issues sometimes. S5 mic wasn't perfect though, was muted from waterproofing, I guess, although improvement over Note.
Note 3 overall.

comparing means side by side
In my opinion the s5 had a good job in video side but the audio in the s5 is not good as you compared in the note 3.......
Note 3 more realistic color.
the colors in galaxy s5 are more vibrant
There is some noise on Note 3 while you are speaking ...
por favor quiero que me ayuden soi de republica dominicana y quiero saber como puedo conseguir un tripode de los que el esta agarrando los telefonos por favor quiero uno de esos
i think that you are wrong because note 3 have 13 m.p
s5 16m.p different.
correct is s5 vs note 4 because same 16 m.p
I don't get how it's possible that the samsung S5 can have a lower image quality in low light compared to the note 3 if it has a better sensor built in it.
When shooting the sofa, note 3 shows more details, only me noticed?
in Low Light Note 3 is better
Even though the s5 has 3 more megapixels than the note 3 they look almost identical as far as clarity but the s5 seems much more saturated and brighter and the note3 looks more natural in contrast than the s5. The note 3 looked quite a bit brighter in low light and less noisy! I'm surprised honestly, because I have a note 3 and I thought there was going to be a big difference in the camera technology but the note 3 seems to come out on top to me with less saturation, less noise and better in low light even with there being a 3-megapixel handicap. I'm not saying the s5 has a bad camera or anything like that, just that I'm surprised that the note 3 seems to do better.
I love GS5!!
Wow, I love the naturality of the S5. This is just the best Camera in a Smartphone in the world. Really, samsung, this Crazy cool Camera on the S5 is just brilliant. Much netter than the Note 3. You should activate HDR in low light rooms, that fixes this 'bug'.
I Also OWN An LG g2 which I think has A better Camera than the Note 3 ! I Would Like to see A Comparison between the Gs5 AND the Lg g2
very simple , The S5 has double the sharpness as the note3 , it doesn't matter at all that its more saturated since you can reduce that later on or use a different video app that controls color , Low light the s5 wins bc it doesn't wash out colors , sharpness is what matters.
Note 3 better camera and color. Fade in / fade out best respond. My opinion.
Note 3 is awesome n m already using it. So this makes it mote awesome
Overall the S5 looks better. All though the low light test at the end goes to the Note 3.
Does anybody know how much bandwidth in mega bytes/sec is required to record 4K on the galaxy S5. I'm trying to find a 128gb memory card but really struggling. Do I need UHS-3 ?
Hi Mate
Its about 40mb per second depending on the compression. Any class 10 micro SD 70mb cards will do like the samsung pro range
Cheers dude. Going to go for the Samsung pro.
You mean the Galaxy Tab pro?
No I meant Samsung pro memory cards I have an s5 already. Farah says hi we are in the red lion if you fancy joining us.
ah ok. Id love to mate but stuck on the machine critical coding for payment gateway :(
the note3 gives more true colors and the stablization is better
The S5 have better colors in most scenes but when you were recording yourself, I think the Note 3 look a bit better. Obviously, the S5 has better focusing tech.
good vid
If you pay attention the note 3 took a little bit longer to auto focus back on the guy also the samsung galaxy s5 made the shot look more vivid because if you may attention the s5 camera made the nature look more colorful unlike the note 3 which in my professional Opinion made the grass, etc. Look a little faded compared to the s5 so hands down the s5 has the better camera
Note 3!!
I'm gonna wait for the note 4.
I don't think there is a big difference but the colors in the GS5 is a bit brighter tho
And the note 3 did a great job in low light
Where not talking about big difference tho
S 5 looks good on video , note 3 looks good overall when it comes to video & audio
S5 has a great camera ... But i like htc one because it feel expensive
S5 is better than note 3
S5 in Auto-focus & light - Note 3 in Sharp&Low light
Note 3 has a leg up on audio and the s5 has a leg up on the video.
yeah, sound vs. quality
Note 3 or s5 or should i wait for the note 4 comment below pls guys
For sure the S5 is better then note 3. But a note3 with S5 câmera would be almost "the perfect mobile phone"! I will wait for Note 4 too
S5 is better outside in natural light comparing to note 3. Indoor light makes no difference and both give almost the same results. But note 3 is definitely better in low light.
Note 3 captured much realistic video that oversaturated S5. Also in low light, Note3 put S5 behind of it.But from AF point, S5 did much better than Note3.
vive s5
I have the note 3, but the S5 is just better. Although the audio sounds better on the Note 3. You can sharpen the video on the note in post. But who wants to do that on a cell cam?
NOTE 3
S5 has better colors but id say the note 3 is doing pretty good for being an older phone
More people have the Note 3 as of right now so it's obvious you think it looks better xd.
I love gs5
S5
Uhm they both record 4k but why dont they have a 4k display..? Thats doesnt make any sense
How many people do you know in real life that know what 4k is.. it's a feature to wow tech geeks.. who have large 4k screens
Then make the display bigger.
It actually make a lot of sense to not include 4K displays in phones these days. First reason is that the phones would need to have better CPU's and GPU's to make for a fluid experience on a so high-res, pixel-tense display. The other big reason would be that 4K displays would drain a lot of battery. A lot!
And I for one would not be willing to sacrifice the already questionable durability of todays run-time on smartphones for a better display but even worse battery-life!
So why even include a 4K recording option?
Well because of the high res (3840 × 2160 instead of HD's 1920 × 1080) you have the option to zoom in on your recorded clip without losing that HD resolution. This is because you have so much pixels to work with.
I can assure you for somebody who shoots semiprofessionally or something like that the ability to rescale your videos are golden!
And by recording in 4K you will also, as Sony likes to put it, futureproof your memories.
Maybe in the near future =)
you forgot to mention that 4k resolution on a small screen is not going to do any good. To enjoy 4k, need to have a large screen.
