[Q] What is up with the S5's rear camera?

[frpilot]

just got the phone brand new yesterday coming from an s3 and i can instantly notice the camera is somewhat worse?

this is very obvious in low light, even with light the photos seem to look grainy like the phone is always zoomed in. am i missing something? any tips here from other S5 owners

i'm on stock 4.4.2 rooted

sample images below, the quality on the s3 while darker seems much more sharper.

the S5 is so grainy i can barely see any detail, it appeals very grainy on the phone's screen also while taking the shot

i feel this is a really silly thing.

especially coming from an S3 and to the newer S5, the phone looks like it is always zoomed it when taking a photo.. it is THAT grainy in low light

i have seen some reviews and threads about the front facing camera being grainy which i can understand but this is the rear camera?

my S3 camera, while darker is much much more sharper than the S5 which is quite disappointing.

does anyone have any ideas or thoughts?

turning on image stabilisation, its S5's night mode.

+1. Stabilization is the key [emoji4]
