      Dododo, 20 Mar 2015I am not blind, so I can see narrow dynamic range: look at ... more"Oh look at me I am an iphone fan. I love to buy cheap things for a higher value because I love cool advertisements. I don't care what most technical tests presents and I blindly support iphone man because Tim said this is the Best phone man just stop accusing ok this is offensive to me. Look at the details on my camera man. You might not see them because only I and Tim can see how perfect the details are ok. You all look at the pictures in the wrong way and you all holding your phones the wrong way ok. Tim will also show me how to hold my iphone properly ok." said no android user :) just sad man just sad...

I will impress my friends on instagram so they will think i am a badass pro photographer." Said no android user ever :) I would definitely buy iphone 6 if the year was 2009 tho :) Congrats my dear beast Note 4.

            iPhone 6 low light video is terrible and on top of that it suffers from very pronounced flickering. Look at Infinity Tower sign.

              The S6 appears to be really good, the iPhone is up there too, while the Note 4 and the S5 are lacking.

              But if you like the S5, more power to you. It goes well with your awesome language skills.

                Appreciated if you can include Lumia camera phones like 1020, 1520, or 930 to the arena. I mean, if you can include iPhone 6, why not Windows Phones?? We are not talking about the OSes anyways.

                  if you want a professional camera just get a damn dslr...

                  i'm an i6 owner and i've got to admit that the s6 camera is better but who cares, in the end of the day, the owner of the S6 uses the camera to take pix of his family only and not as a professional photographer would use lol

                    Galaxy S6 is the winner, and Note 4 is very near. Nice work Samsung! I love how Samsung work good on smartphone camera.
                    Unfortunately Samsung gone in wrong direction about sdcard/battery.. and is very expensive. Without this 2 mistake, for me, it's the best smartphone and cameraphone.

                    Iphone 6 was good on the 2013... damn 8 megapixel and no innovation!

                          "The wider f/1.9 lens on the Galaxy S6 is not as sharp as the f/2.2 lens on the Galaxy Note 4."

                          Is this a fact or do you mean to say at f/1.9, the S6 lens isn't as sharp as the Note 4 at f/2.2?

                                      The S6 may be providing more natural photos in applying less processing. Still, the N4 picked up the pattern on the red carpet in the shootout - the S6 didn't. Make your pick.
