Camera Shootout : The Samsung Galaxy S6 & Galaxy S6 Edge Vs. The Apple iPhone 6
Smartphones have now replaced many digital cameras and even DSLRs as the camera of choice for many people. Not only can it take great photos these days, it can do so in more creative ways, thanks to innovations like the selfie stick. Therefore, it is no surprise that the smartphone's photographic capabilities are one of its most important features.
We were one of the lucky ones to snag the pre-release units of the Samsung Galaxy S6 and the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, which we have since unboxed for your viewing pleasure. We have also been using them to take our photos and videos at various events to test them out. Take a look at our results, and see for yourself why the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge are now our favourite smartphone for taking photos on-the-go.
In this comparison, we will compare the photos we took with the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge against the Apple iPhone 6 and the Galaxy Note Edge. Before we start, let's compare the camera specifications of the four smartphones :

Outdoor @ The Curve
In this outdoor shot of the Curve, the Apple iPhone 6 produced the most accurate (albeit muted) colours, although the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge had far more vibrant colours, while the Samsung Galaxy S6 appears to be slightly overexposed.

Outdoor @ The Curve (A Closer Look)
In the examination of the flags, the Apple iPhone 6 produced accurate but muted colours, while the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge had the most vibrant colours. The Samsung Galaxy S6 was slightly overexposed.
In the examination of the decorative grilles, the higher resolution sensor in the two Samsung smartphones allowed them to deliver far greater detail than the iPhone 6. The signboard on the lower right corner is also easier to read in the shots taken by both Samsung smartphones.
