Samsung Galaxy S7 vs. Apple iPhone 6s: Which smartphone has the best camera?

In my opinion Samsung’s Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge are currently the best smartphones you can buy. And while Samsung touts their waterproof designs and expandable storage (both impressive), the company is particularly proud of their new cameras.

How good are they? To find out, I decided to compare photographs from the S7 with those produced by the iPhone 6s (which also has a much-lauded shooter), to see which handset offers the best overall image quality. I took pictures of a variety of subjects in a variety of settings with both phones.

In the end, while the iPhone 6s gets points for color accuracy, I think the Galaxy S7’s camera comes out on top, thanks to more vibrant colors, greater contrast, sharper details, and superior low-light performance.

To my eyes, the S7 is the clear winner. But check out our shots and let us know what you think in the comments.
