Galaxy Note 5 vs. iPhone 6s Plus vs. LG V10: The snow camera field test

25 January, 2016
When you are pinned in the city, winter hardly feels like a pleasant season. But once you step outside of the city’s boundaries, the sweeping vistas of the snowy slopes make for some of the best photo opportunities...

no matter how good the photos it may take, auto power off after few minutes means it's just a brick. you know which phone I mean.

          go charge it, wait!!! 
          Just plug your powerbank to any of the phones and you are good to go. So you don't really need user replaceable battery.

            in total i think you can't really go wrong with one of these handsets. i'm not a fan of iphones and won't ever have one, i'm no longer buying samsung either but i have the V10. this is my preference and i love the LG V10 more than any other phone i used before. But in general whatever phone you might get, all of them really does a fantastic job in taking pictures. I was on the swiss alps last weekend and took pictures with the V10 which is simply awesome. then there were tourists with their iphones and i helped them take pictures for them instead of selfies. they were very happy. that's fun if you just help others take nice pictures instead of bashing them for the phones they have!

              You should do a blind test again! In your previous blind test the iCrap was trashed in the last place. V10 was first. You are biased.

                In Romania snowed heavily the past week so yesterday I was out to a park which was full of snow and took some awesome shots with my z3 compact. I did not even had to turn the glove mode on as it has mechanical shutter button and also it works ( a little slower ) with leather gloves! Physical buttons all the way for me!

You can't have a competition without an overall winner. They're just scared to anger any reader/fanboy and will only stick to vague conclusions and playing it safe, which is just spineless for such a long lasting tech site.

                            Hey guys

                            Did you not know the volume button on LG V10 take shots. So you can use gloves with it?

                                Very disappointed with the Mate8's camera - was considering getting it but it's dusK / low light images were dreadful!
                                Anyone know when /if they're gonna sort this out?

The LG V10 offers great shots and a wider field of view not to mention you can tap into the manual mode and get exactly the shot you want.

                                        I would say iPhone win this one. Overall most of cases the results from iPhone was best looking photos.

                                        This is the strong side of iPhone camera, no matter what you shoot, almost always the results are great.
