It did better in superior auto, but if you downsize the GS5 photos down to the same resolution it might be a little better.
Here is the studio test in full resolution for Z2, Gs5, and 1520

I wonder when will Sony finally catch up with Samsung in terms of camera quality. Photos aren't bad, the difference isn't that clear. But look at video quality. A huge gap, I remember Sony was always bad in terms of video quality, seems like till now they can't provide quality of a true flagship phone, a shame. 1080p on S5 looks better than 4K on Z2 -.-
Don't get me wrong, 4K on Z2 is very good, but still lags behind Samsung.

never agree that samsung being better, they are like LG that apply some kind of super sai like filter like SNES emulator to make things looks sharper and looks like there are less noise. Just not as heavy as LG, LG was beyond bad, I don't even know how anyone can say LG camera are good, unless you shrink the image down to 1/8 of the size. Heavy compression aside, with the new update, Sony has finally dump the sharpening filter that was with Z1 but images are still too compressed, looks like the software just compress then save out whatever the sensor capture and that was it. Z2 photos can be process in photoshop to look like samsung filter, or even with pixler express that came with the Z1. Nokia camera always has some kind of vibrancy boosting to make pictures look richer than the source to me, but without those super sai filter. Can't comment on video, as I don't use video a lot. maybe someone can do a size and bitrate comparison between those phones. I know Sony steady shot software is the best out there but you loose quite a bit of FOV. |

The camera of the Xperia Z2 is arguably inferior to the cameras Galaxy S5 and K Zoom, as then this same camera can be better than the cameras of Nokias 1020 and 808 
With the word DXO and Sony Fanboys

Considered K zoom was says to be the best android camera ever and using the same sensor as z2, its like going in a big circule. I think not everyone is a fan of Samsung image processing, including myself. And also clear show 20MP is too much for Z2 sensor. |

I dont know whats wrong with GSM z2. Ill later on post pics of both s5 and z2 and believe me z2 is better in almost all cases.

Something is very wrong when people only use GSMArena as the only source for Picture quality comparison.

... and they frequent the z2 thread to brag but couldn't accept that the real pros at dxomark rank the z2's camera on top.
well, the s5 hasn't been tested yet but we've seen how gsmarena praised the s4's camera to high heavens only for dxomark to set things straight by ranking the z1 at number 2 alongside iphone 5s.
people with common sense know that the opinions of people who truly understand photography and use systematic testing methods have more weight than the combined opinions of all tech review blogs out there.

They will not use only GSM Arena.
Will use every source that put Sony in a worse position.
emersonshei(Guarulhos) still butthurted because DX0 dethroned it's beloved pureviews.
Tsepez only use Sony in the same phrase if it is accompanied by some critical comment.
What do you all expect?
Fair comments? C'mon...

It should but it doesn't.
For instance Explorer (simpler Es file expl. version) doesn't allow this. Pity, yes. But File Commander isn't that bad.

There are no more barriers to cross. All I have in common with the uncontrollable and the insane, the vicious and the evil, all the mayhem I have caused and my utter indifference toward it I have now surpassed.

noob question here.What happens when we give the phone an official update from SONY,It does get unrooted right? so these apps lose the root privileges ?Which means it wont be able access its data from the SD card?

It does not work exactly like that.
The apps don't use the root privileges to access/write on the SD card.
Simply said, there is a configuration file that among other things, defines whether apps can access the SD card or not. This file is normally read-only and cannot be changed. When you get rooted, this file can be changed, in order to grant apps access to the SD card.
So after the change in this configuration file is made, you can remove the root and the apps will still have access to the SD card.
But when you install an official update from Sony, not only you are going to lose the root, but also this particular configuration file will be overwritten with its original version, thus the apps will lose their access to the SD card. |

They provide studio shots for every phone they test and you can compare 3 phones at the same time.. its very handy. There isn't much to it really, you put them on a tripod, and you shoot..
Do you think they are manipulating the results ?
