19 March 2015
A quality camera has always been a big part of Galaxy flagships and Samsung is pushing new improvements every six months. The two-step cadence goes Galaxy S then Note then S again – we're at the Galaxy S6 step of this cycle and...

    Why in all of these camera tests they use an iPhone 6 why not a 6 plus. And if you look closely at the pics look at the shutter speeds the galaxy's are shooting much slower than the iPhone which means they are capturing more light. Slow the shutter down on the iPhone and use the iPhone 6 plus because this is not a fair comparison. iPhone 6 does not have ois.

        Anonymous, 20 Mar 2015Why don't these camera shootouts ever include the high end ... moreBecause nobody buys or uses Nokia phones anymore. Sorry, my apologies I mean maybe just 1 percent of the entire population uses nokia phones.

I have to correct you, iPhone 6 image quality is good, but when you look at say the lumia 1520, 1020, and 930 all with lumia denim, the camera quality is amazing in those phones, the lumia 930 smashes iPhone 6 in camera quality with lumia denim, maybe you should do some reading on camera quality, because you're comment is really laughable!

                    I think that the final software that will ship with the Galaxy S6 will bring an improvement to the S6 camera making it better than the Note 4 in all tests

                        Hope S6 camera is faster than S5. I compared S5 with Iphone 6 in a relatively well lit shopping mall. Results: people walking by became blurry in the s5, while iphone froze the movement almost perfectly. conclusion: I blame reviewers for not making speed a big deal. The shortcomming of cameras like that should place it at the bottom of all lists. Why would people remember their non moving boll of fruit, when they could have great pics of friends, children and pets in real life situasions, is beyond me.

                                This is not camera comparison. IN fact this is just camera software battle. Camera is Sony lens

                                  Why don't these camera shootouts ever include the high end Lumias, 1020, 1520, 930, Icon? Between the optics and the excellent software, they consistently meet or surpass any of these others when one on one comparisons are done, even being 12-18 months old. Think what you will about Windows Phone, but this is a camera comparison.

                                      The Lumia 1020 would have decimated this roundup from the moment its shutter cover snapped open. I own the note 4 and 1020. Although the video on the note 4 is superior to the 1020.
