          Lets wait for the DXO mark result for iPhone6s Plus then we can compare it against the best of Apple.
          I have a hunch iPhone will kick Google's 'awesome' camera with no image stabilization.

            Nexus is for geek who want to experience the latest thing.

            Drawback:
            1. it comes with high bugs content.
            2. it doesnt come with features in non-nexus flagship in Samsung, Sony, LG, Huawei or others..

            For normal users, make wise decision.
            For Peace Of Mind, avoid Nexus.


            One More thing:
            1. Snapdragon 810 with 22nm is outdated technology, pairing with 22nm ram..
            slow.

            Galaxy S6 , note 5 and iPhone 6S already on the smallest scale: 14nm.
            benefit:
            1. lower heat.
            2. lower battery consumption.
            3. more powerful.

                    I'm not impressed with Google's justification for omitting OIS. No matter how much better their sensor is in low light, the addition of OIS would improve results in even lower lighting conditions. But what really angered was the impact this has on video. No matter what the lighting conditions OIS always always improves handheld video.

                        Yeah, the OIS makes a major difference. Even though Sony phones have quite decent cameras, I can't shoot in less than stellar conditions with it anymore since using the S6 for work.
                        Same for video.

                            Its not everything about technology, its how you use it.

                                The camera is more impressive than iphones. Actually, the web browsing experience should be the top priority. No one takes picture all day with their phone. The ram could be more generous but else is fine in this new Nexus. I wonder why they stop using ring-LED flash.

Well be informed that majority of users shoot in that mode, so that's why they use it. If people knew how to use Manual mode and tweak settings depending on surroundings then I don't think there would be any need of a site like DxO. DxO reviews are as accurate as it is going to get, I mean I started visiting DxO for cameras only over five six years ago, but its good to see they have included mobile phones too.
