Our camera shootout: iPhone 7 vs. Galaxy S7 vs. Xperia XZ vs. LG G5

17 October 2016
Team Fall in the red corner versus Team Spring in the blue. Okay, not really - it's actually every phone for itself, but the newly-launched contenders from Sony and Apple take on the established players from Samsung and LG that have been around for some six months.

Well sorry folks, it seems in accordance with DXOmark that the Pixel is the best overall rated smartphone camera.

And by looking at the samples, it'll be hard to refute that claim.

          All sensors made by Sony. So Sony wins right?

            Anonymous, 20 Oct 2016808 PureView. And it's not even close.Oh, that old king, that was defeated by the XZ

              lolz, 20 Oct 2016Still, no phone comes close to Lumia 950's camera.Yeah, XZ is way too far from it because it is already on a higher league of camera quality than the 950

                            sony fans will be like "We make camera sensors for other phones ..so our phones have to be best at pictures' ... LMAO ... clear proof that sensor does not do S**t. 23 mp is useless compared to 12 mp S7 camera with great software .. ROFL !!!
                            Sony sensors are good but sony can never succeed in getting their camera software right.
                            iPhone 7 is also useless and has been knocked out of this camera race for last 2 years !!!!

                                  really great shootout comparison GSM!! i enjoyed it and glad that S7 and G5 are on top (even when i'm not a LG fan by any means)
                                  also i would've liked the HTC10 competing too (as some of the ppl here)
                                  i know XZ has good photos as well so Sony fans can enjoy that too (no worries there)
                                  and last but not least it's good that Iphone came on top in 4K, taht means that the rest has room to improve in that regard specially since 4k is getting trendier every day
                                  cheers for everyone ^_^
