Actually, his requirements were
1)call quality
2)"readable" screen (i'm assuming this means large, high-resolution)
3)Camera
I would recommend a Note 3 above all the other devices.
Congrats on reading his post thoroughly and not using it as an excuse to plug a dying company... oh wait.
I tried iPhone again with the 5, didn't like it (and returned to GS4/Note 3), but if camera quality is a concern I'd definitely recommend it over Samsung GS4 or a Note 3. In bright sunlight the Samsung sensors take nice photos, but even outside on a cloudy day they fall far behind the iPhone. Inside, day or night, the Samsung sensors are basically unusable for anything other than vague impressions of your shot. The main problem with the iPhone camera is over-processing by the software. Current iPhone cameras are competitive with $200 cameras from 2002. Current Samsung phone cameras are competitive with $200 cameras from 2000, and if you remember your sensor history, that's a big leap.
If the camera is very important, I think it might be worth at least looking at the Nokia Windows phones, which scare me because of the OS but show better camera performance in my testing than iPhone 5 or anything Android.
For call quality, The iPhone 5 and 5s have a better radio but a terrible, terrible microphone/squelch profile, depending on your facial geometry. The microphone is directional and doesn't work well for people with a shorter than average male ear-to-mouth distance. Most women, for instance, get squelched a lot while speaking on an iPhone 5 without ever realizing it. The problem gets blamed on the radio, but regardless of an accurate diagnosis it means that smallish people will need to repeat themselves a lot if they talk on an iPhone.
