Comparison review
Galaxy Note Fan Edition has a general score of 80.4, which is slightly better than the Samsung Galaxy S5 Sport's 77.8 global score. Even though the Galaxy Note Fan Edition is a bit heavier than Samsung Galaxy S5 Sport, it's thinner and also extremely newer. Galaxy S5 Sport has just a bit better hardware performance than Samsung Galaxy Note Fan Edition, because although it has lesser RAM and less processing cores (although they are faster), it also counts with a graphics processing unit.
The Galaxy S5 Sport counts with a little more vivid display than Samsung Galaxy Note Fan Edition, although it has a lot worse resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, a little bit worse display pixel density and a little bit smaller screen. Samsung Galaxy S5 Sport shoots a little bit better photos and videos than Samsung Galaxy Note Fan Edition, because although it has a way tinier aperture which is not recommended for capturing photos and videos in poorly lited situations and a smaller sensor which gives a worse photo and video quality, and they both have the same (4K) video definition and the same video frame rates, the Samsung Galaxy S5 Sport also counts with a lot more mega-pixels camera in the back.
The Galaxy Note Fan Edition has a lot bigger storage capacity to install games and applications than Samsung Galaxy S5 Sport, because it has 64 GB internal storage and a slot for an external memory card that holds a maximum of 256 GB. Galaxy Note Fan Edition counts with just a bit longer battery life than Galaxy S5 Sport, because it has a 3200mAh battery size.
Although Galaxy Note Fan Edition is a better device, it costs a lot more money than the Samsung Galaxy S5 Sport, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the Samsung Galaxy S5 Sport. So if you want that extra features and specs, you can buy the Galaxy Note Fan Edition, else you can save some dollars and buy the Samsung Galaxy S5 Sport, resigning a couple features and specs.
