well, I finally bought an S5 G900F, and I must to admit. I prefer the S4 (i9506) =/
Camera is better I don't know why it looks more noise
Screen is better and it looks more sexy than S5 =/
soo I have this dialema.....stay or not with my s4 and sell my s5 lol

Hmm I also have a S4 (i9500 with the better camera), but I didn't have the same observations.
I agree about the fact that the S4 still looks better (smaller footprint with a screen almost as big), though I prefer the back of the S5.
But the camera is better on the S5, and the screen as well.
Lol
Taking a shot side by side you will see what is better, and I can post tonight the samples I've tooke
If you want a better screen get the G906S/K (LTE-A)

More pixels = more noise = more camera shake. That's why in normal situation it will look like S4 is better. You just need more steady hands
On that tiny sensor 3 more MP is taking it closer to the limit.
I would rather stick with 8 or less but hey ho...

guys i wanted to know, which one is better? planing to buy tommorow!
Google is the Key!
Could have very well searched that off Google, But here is my opinion on this
I don't own the HTC One or The Nexus 4 But i have tried them at my friends house and I have to say The HTC One feels better and has much louder sound, But that doesn't mean the Nexus 4 is bad.
I own the Galaxy S4 and i can tell you the only problem i have is for the purple smearing & Everything else works fine!
The camera, buttons, speakers & what not. But it's one hell of a bloated Software (Touchwiz)
They all have pros and cons but i feel like the HTC One would be a better way to go with it's low light performance, audio and LCD display means sharper image than the Galaxy S4 not that you will notice but it's just better, The only thing that stopped me from buying the HTC one was the button layout and the 4mp camera.
S4: better camera,display,performance
One: better quality and design
Nexus4 is beyond them.lower resolation,camera,and chipset.
Can't go wrong with the One or S4. Both are top dogs when it comes to performance and display. The nexus4 isn't bad either if you want a cheaper alternative.

Hello, mates!
I own a galaxy s4, IMO is a perfect device for dimensions, screen, and spaces optimizations.
I don't like s5 form factor, and the only one thing I really miss with s4 is the camera in low light conditions.
Compared with new sensors s4 can't make very good low light pictures, a friend of mine have huawei p7 and I can see that in darkness pictures are much better than mine take with s4!
My idea is to install s5 camera in galaxy s4, I think pinout could be the same (n^ of pins are the same, but I have no datasheets).
It could be a difficult mod because s5 flex cable is not straight like the flex cable of s4 camera:
s4: http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/ODcyWDcxNg==/z/5Q0AAOxySoJTRkj1/$_57.JPG
s5: http://www.gigasoftaustralia.com/eBay/portableparts/productphotos/i9600/rcamflex/1.jpg
Probably it's impossible for a lot of reasons (drivers? from galaxy s5 is possible? Fit to the case? Cable?), but I ask because I know someone swapped camera sensors in other devices, and the only thing that makes it seem "old" the s4 is the camera performance :cyclops:

I don't know, for this reason I posted in Q/A section
Hi all, I'm currently using a galaxy S5 and looking for an upgrade to either a Note 4 or S6. I don't really care much about any other things as the two are both very good phones, only camera. Spec wise they are not THAT different, just a better f/1.9 lens on the S6 compared to f/2.2 lens of the Note 4, other specs remain the same. So theoretically the images from the S6 should be a little bit better than the note 4 in extreme cases (very low light for instance), and generally the same for most situations. But somehow I've read reviews that put the Note 4's camera output to be a tad better than the S6 (gsmarena's review for example), and I just don't know why. Is there any reason behind that or something I missed? Thanks in advance!

Use Mobile DxOMark and find the S6/Note 4 and compare why one is better than the other hardware/software wise.
Gsmarena did do a blind test by readers and note 4 won, except for night shots

Both the same generally but S6 much better in low light.

galaxy note 4 on the left side,s6 edge on the right side

both of them taken by me
From what I have seen the Note 4 seems to have a much better camera. But that is due to the fact that the SGS6 uses either Samsung's own isocell or Sony's Xemar senor. Which is makes it a potshot as to which one of those you would get on your SGS6/S6Edge.
Guys i see quite much Note 7 ports for S7 edge, Can someone guide me as to which one is more preferred because of stability and battery life? i am confused
First thing to do is to see if you have a samsung sensor or a Sony sensor. If it's a samsung one, I highly think it's not great to update to Note 7 port cause the photos will be awfull.
You could see what sensor you have with AIDA or Phone Info !
Grace UX will be port in the next update
I have the impression renovate is the best one. But personally i still use s7 edge rom because i can wait few weeks because i read on sammobile the nougat update for our s7 edge will bring most software features from the note 7 like improved aod and grace ux.
offtopic: is the samsung camera sensor worse then the sony one? under normal conditions?
I flashed Renovate rom. And it looks awesome. Loving it!
I have a screenshot attached. Which sensor is that?

Samsung Sensor was only bad on S6, on S7E it looks stunning. Before buying my S7 Edge I was playing with other phones cameras and the S7E had best image quality. Even compared to Xperia cameras (which I kinda dislike for image processing(amount of pixels is visible but only when You zoom in)) or LG G5 which once again other than huge viewing angle had quite poor colour-less photos. And it's not true that N7 ports will give You a bad camera. I've been using N7 ports for a while and they take same quality pictures like stock roms from sammobile.

I haven't tried any of them but numerous people have said if you have a Samsung sensor the photos come out like potato. Not because the sensor is bad but because the required libs for the Samsung sensor haven't been ported over properly.

No, under the normal conditions the samsungs sensor is slightly better

Well. On my phone pictures look really pretty.
(Tinypic compression slightly messed up the sharpness)
Please don’t delete this topic it’s fair warning!
I hate to be right sometimes but as I told long ago after years of testing it turns out that the best camera of Samsung was in S6 / S6Edge+. Test it yourself. Hold S6 in one hand and for example S8 in the other and take a photo in good light. Then zoom it on the phone and you will see that S6 has better details, no artificial brightener while for example S8 has it.
S6 has 16 Mpix and all flagships that came after had 12 Mpix rear camera.
I’ve tested S6 Edge Plus vs. S7 / S8 / S8+, Note8, S9, S9+ and…
only S9+ finally beat S6. (look how Samsung did bad for us from Sep2015 till March2018)
I wish I had NOT sale my S6 and bought a newer one
If You don't believe me? Ask XDA members who has S6 and a later Galaxy S model (but not S9+)
This is a Warning for You don't sell your S6!!!! or sell only if you can afford to buy S9+.
I did the wrong thing so I Warn you no to make the same mistake that I did
So, you say s6 is better than s8 (in camera) because resolution?
Then my xperia S (12 mpx) has the same camera quality like s8, right?

I didnt say that. I know that res/Mpix is not the final thing in judgeing the cam quality.
The purpose of this post was to warn all of ppl that DO want to use only smartfion to take pics.
I have no agenda against S8+. I just know that a lot of ppl are massivly abandoning S6 cause they think that cam will be significntly better on a newer Galaxy. Out of my good heart I want to spare them the dissapointment.
Like I said if a person wants to change S6 only for pics quality reason they should buy nothing less than S9+ otherwise they will be sadly dissapointed.
I disagree. My s8 takes much better photos than my s6.

With all respect to You.
Why is that my S6E+ made 1000 photos of comparing (in bright light of course) since the lanuch of S7 till the launch of S9/S9+
And...
There's a post on XDA where expert members of XDA (high lever, maybe dev even) do agree with me.
