    Anonymous, 15 Oct 2015Seems like B is S6 as it seems to have a wider FOV than 6S ... moreThat's part of the problem in this comparison. You cannot really compare with such a big difference in FoV. And it seems like one of them had HDR activated and the other not.

      Seems like B is S6 as it seems to have a wider FOV than 6S the last time I tested the 6S camera in stores if I remembered correctly.

        Blind test, Ah?
        Clearly A is IPhone and B is galaxy, given the narrow lens of iPhone it's very clear!
        GSMarena, do you know that when there are different FoV then you are supposed to adjust your position to match the scene, so as not to give edge one over other and to keep the things really blind!
        But in the current state it's a joke!

              My choices ended up being inline with the majority of voters.

                Only PureView can dominate the challenging Gray Chart.

                  AnonD-193726, 14 Oct 2015It's quite opposite for me. B wins only in low light photos....you're delusional, b is better in all cases. more detailed and wider pictures, the quality of contrast at day and night is way better too. and it's obvious that b is for samsung camera! apple is just an overrated b!+ch

                    GSMArena, you should start linking directly to jpegs. It's super annoying having to click on an imagine and then it opens up in this zoom/scroll nonsense. Just link directly to jpegs.

                        I believe they swapped the images.

                            Seems like nobody is thinking that Phone A and Phone B could just be option A or B? I thought each photo A and B was randomised. If not, the quality difference really will depend on what you use the camera for, both would fail and win.

                              Not a very good blind test if the images aren't even the same.

                                Yep the FOV gives the iphone away easily, like the Z5 the Edge has great FOV and captures quite a lot in one scene. The iphone crops everything which is rubbish.

                                  Lol at everyone saying that the S6 Edge is Phone A and that the iPhone is phone B... The S6 has a different aspect ratio and takes wider pictures and Phone B is clearly taking Wider pictures in comparison to Phone A which is the iPhone. You can literally see this by how Phone B is able to include more objects into a single picture.

                                    It's pretty obvious A is sammy and B is iphone because B photos are smaller and iphone has smaller megapixels than samsung. GSM arena,you're crazy making it obvious which is which and you call it ablind test. If you want to compare, you should have set a standard. Since iphone only has 13MP, you should have just zoomed in the samsung photos up to 13MP.

                                      For sure Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ will win... though i'm not a fan of samsung.. neither i like iPhones.. The real boss is or better to say was NOKIA..

                                        Well, in my opinion, these pictures dont have enought resolution to make real useful comparation.
