I am a photographer. The Galaxy S7 is clearly superiour in all photos together with the LG.

    I'm impressed at the G5s camera. The Huawei P9 should have been in the contest too

        The dark shot the iphone won was so void of color.

          I always believed the G5 has a better camera than S7 and any other. LG always comes with the best smartphone cameras. A honest LG Fan !

            Why do Sony always do badly in this when they make all the sensors?

              so two worse phones win the poll , what a joke .

              XZ and S7 are the best for me ... iPhone is usual crap together with that G5 dual camera thing.

                Why not haven't bring along with blind test for portrait, in doors, macros, night scene, capture during shaking, shooting the trees and buildings are not all of the result yet. It could be excel on that range, btw, I also can't see the capture details for reference. I refer to Google+, it is all details for each photos, if the details not complete, I also skip that to prevent miss judge.

                  As I know 8 mp auto mode is better than 23mp auto mode interms of iso etc for xperia phones.Is it still valid for xz? I mean does it(shooting 8mp in auto mode) provide more advantage for basic user?

                              Anonymous, 18 Oct 2016I doubt if it can topple current generation smartphones. Af... moreIt was never meant to compete with those, it totally annihilated them. The only thing that would hold it back today is its relatively small aperture compared to nowadays flagships, and the chipset not being powerful enough to handle its sensor.

                              Oh and laser autofocus only work at a very limited distance, and the 1080 had OIS.

                                      LG worst video-recorder, shadow areas goes black :s

                                        [deleted post]Well they give the Z5 a higher score then they give to the S6 if I remember right. I use a Z5, and it is not better then the S6, or G4. I have taken many pictures(I have taken pictures of cars, nature, people, and other stuff), and when it comes to nature, the Z5 can take some great pictures(I have taken a picture of a waterfall, and it is amazing!).
                                        Video quality of Sony is really good, the Steady Shot feature is better then the OIS from other phones.
