[Q] Nexus 4 vs SGSfamily and note2?

I seen some review but still no decent comparisons for the nexus 4 to other device so can you please tell me which has has:
(Since i did not yet see the nexus in personal so i only have the following device as reference.)
Better camera(quality and details of the picture): Nexus 4 vs galaxy s1 (i9000), n4 vs s3, n4 vs note 2 (can you rate each 1 to 10 10 as highest quality and detail of picture)
SCreen/display: Nexus 4 vs note 2's display? (which is sharper and which is pleasing to use for games and videos?)
Gaming/speed: (which is faster and play games smoothly Nexus 4 vs note 2, Nexus 4 vs galaxy s3

[Q] Upgrading from a Note? How's the camera difference?

I bought an N4 and it'll be here soon. I'm upgrading from a Note and the one thing holding me back is the camera. I think my Note takes pretty good pictures. I'm hoping the camera isn't a downgrade.
I just got so sick of not having updates pushed to ROMs right away that I had to switch back to a Nexus.
Anyone?
I have had Galaxy Nexus, S2, S3 iPhone 4s and iPhone 5 Atrix4G and Lumia 900 all in past 12 months.
Also used note before I return it.
Note camera is same as S2. S3 camera only marginally better than S2.
Same with iPhone 4s and 5.
I think (in my opinion) cause I would rank cameras as this
Iphone 5/4s are slightly better than S2/S3.
I think Nexus 4 is a tad below the S2 camera. Especially in low light.
Lumia 900 Atrix 4g and Galaxy nexus cameras all are subpar

Thanks for this post. I figured my Note's camera would be better than the N4. I'm happy to hear it won't be a major downgrade, though.

Post pictures taken with your Nexus 6

First pic taken with nexus 6

This is my first one. Its cold here 12°F this morning so it may not be the best due to my hands shaking.

Wow that's a very nice picture! Do you use a 3rd party camera or is that stock?

I'm pretty sure the Tapatalk app is compressing these. They look much better in the photos app.

I have the iPhone 6+ and Note 4 around; I've used the Nexus 6 camera for an hour (indoors only). From what I used it is slower and not as well balanced than the iPhone 6+ camera. Note 4 was just as fast as the Nexus 6, maybe a bit faster.
Both the iPhone 6+ and Note 4 have far, far better software for the camera app and thus they both take far better photos (for a smartphone) compared to the Nexus 6. In low-light the Nexus 6 performs like a Galaxy Nexus (which I've used often) compared with the iPhone 6+ and Note 4. There are many tests which show how bad the Nexus 6 is in low light, especially without flash.
From my limited experience it was ok but noticeable worse than the iPhone 6+ and Note 4. If you were testing all three together in a store, you would see the difference.
Potentially if someone creates a new camera app with far better software in the app - puts it for sale on the PlayStore (so you don't need a rooted phone to use it) - the Nexus 6 camera could be much better. As it is the stock camera app post-processing software is terrible compared to other flagships. The current cameras on the PlayStore (that I've used) do not get the best out of the N6 camera either.
From what I know the camera hardware in the N6 is comparable to the Note 4 so theoretically it can match the photo quality of the Note 4 in all conditions. The software though is not comparable.

Note 4 has sony exmor imx 240 which is the newest sensor from sony that's why note 4 is the top dog nexus 6 has imx 214 sensor which is the same as one plus one but takes far better pictures than one plus one . we gonna see new amazing third party apps soon since lollipop camera api has been released from google.

Great thanks for the confirmation on the sensors; then the Nexus 6 will never compete with the Note 4 or iPhone 6+ on the camera front, it will always be a step behind. When they said 'premium, no compromises' I think they were joking. I honestly expected it to at least match the Note 4 with camera tech for the price. Worse screen I expected, but not the camera tech.
The Nexus 6 is essentially a Note 3 with a faster processor (but you probably wouldn't notice due to the encryption) and stock Android. Ideally should be priced like a Note 3 then...
I was at the LA Auto Show yesterday. Here are some pics I took.

I had note 4 for a week and it lag like hell everything seems slow motion compare to nexus 6 thats the reason I sold note 4 on the front facing camera it could compete with iPhone 6 plus but not with note 4 cause it has 3.7mp wide angle lens.

How comes that with a 13MP of camera it's better than galaxy note 4

I've got a honor 6 and a galaxy note 4.But the huawei's camera is only 13 MP but my Note 16,why the Huawei's pictures are better?
