We would recommend you to charge it with Computer USB socket because that would make your 2800 mAh battery fluid long lasting. Whereas the battery featured in the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is a Li-Ion 3100 mAh one, giving the phone a staggering battery life of up to 18 hours of talk time in a go.

But it all comes down to consumer's preferences and choice. Both devices are well equipped to provide you good performance but Galaxy note 3 is better in case you want a bigger screen and a stylus, but Samsung Galaxy S5 is better because of smaller dimensions and some great new features introduced by Samsung.
