The Galaxy Note 3 takes a bit better photos and videos than Motorola One Action, because although it has a tinier aperture, and they both have the same 3840x2160 (4K) video resolution and the same video frame rate, the Galaxy Note 3 also counts with a back camera with a higher 13 MP resolution.

If you want to save a few dollars, you can buy the Motorola One Action, letting go a couple features and specs, but you'll get the most with your money.
