Samsung S6 Edge VS iPhone 6 Plus camera shoot-out

11:43 0 Comments

I've had the opportunity to pit the GS6E against the iPhone 6 Plus in both bright and dark conditions. Samsungs tells me that the camera software I've tested is final and thus this is what you can expect from a production GS6/GS6E:

Galaxy S6 strengths:

Much better low-light performance (although with a yellowish color cast)
Slightly better resolution
Slightly better dynamic range
Slightly better bokeh
Obviously, much, much higher video resolution

Galaxy S6 equaling iPhone 6 Plus

Both have generally brilliant color reproduction
Both focus very fast

iPhone 6 Plus strengths:

240 fps slow mo
The AF pumps less during video capture.

Here's some sample

You can AMA about the GS6E's and its camera, but keep in mind that I only had a limited time to test both cameras, and it was all under a Samsung execs supervision.

Anyways - here are some pictures. I've matched the resolution to 12MP on both cameras to make them easier to compare. I've singled out some 100% crops that highlight how good they are. Enjoy!
