Think you know which phone has the best camera? Take our test and find out
There is huge debate about which phone has the best camera on Android. We can offer our thoughts, but there are so many factors that determine whether a camera is good or bad, and it often comes down to personal preference. Do you favor good low-light shots? Accurate color reproduction? Advanced manual camera settings, perhaps?
Android phones have taken a big leap in 2015 and the photos they can take are truly looking better than ever, but today we are asking the question: which smartphone camera is the best?
Below we have devised a little test. You'll see five pictures taken with five of the best Android cameras currently available. All you have to do is choose which one you think is best. We aren’t going to tell you which photo was taken by which device just yet, but here are the devices:
Check out the photos below.
Now, vote for which camera you think gives the best results.
We will reveal which device is which next week as well as which one you voted the best. For now, feel free to make some guesses about which picture belongs to which phone in the comments.
Your test really is poorly done. Phone A, C and D, (Samsung, LG and Sony respectively) have the best photos by far, but you can clearly see that the Sony picture is colder than the LG and the Samsung pictures. This brings to question the Sony's color accuracy. The Moto X photo also has the same color as the Samsung and LG pictures but it is out of focus (not as sharp or clear) as the other two. But the real problem that I have with this "test" is that it is taking one single picture and coming to conclusion which is ridiculous. All of these cameras perform differently under different circumstances. If you are going to do a reader comparison, include well-lit and very dark scenes, along with some sports scenes. This will give your readers a better idea of which camera is really the best. I think specifically you should have included very dark scenes like a bar or a dance scene and some very well-lit scenes.
All of these cameras are capable, but the S6 has won most of the in-depth comparisons with the LG and the Sony not far behind. The real problem with the Sony that most professional reviewers found, is that it doesn't have as accurate color in its pictures as the LG4 and Samsung S6. These three cameras are all really good and very close, but most professional reviews list the S6 as the best, the LG4 as a very close second and the Sony as third. When I look at all of the pictures for each camera, the Samsung S6 wins easily and highly regarded reviewers like DXO agrees with me.
This is a ridiculous test. Again. For reasons mentioned before; they were taken non-staticly and at different times with different lighting, so under different circumstances. I mean, come on man!
I really like E
E is out of focus (not as sharp and clear) as others.
Really? C? B and C are the worst!
I don't think this is a fair test as you can tell the light levels where changing trough out the test with the cloud cover, and it is a non static environment. Do this test where all phone take a picture at the same time not minutes apart. Then you can make a real comparison. I don't get the hype behind camera in a phone any way. I will use mine to document things once in awhile. If I want to take some great pictures I will get out my DSLR camera. No smart phone camera can compare to them.
Pay me now. ;-)
A- Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+
B- Huawei Nexus 6P
C- Sony Xperia Z5
D- LG G4
E- Motorola Moto X Pure Edition
LG G4 has the best camera.. People compare it to a DSLR one.. Also my friends, couple of them photographers, enjoyed the camera and told me that it is THE best cam they have ever tried on a mobile phone
A- LG G4
B- Motorola Moto X Pure Edition
C- Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+
D- Huawei Nexus 6P
E- Sony Xperia Z5
I think camera C is (S6 edge +), no doubt Samsung camera is the best
I guess smartphone C is The Xperia Z5, because the shot taken has a better wide angle view and then there's cool tones of colors!
If the Z5 has anything similar on the camera that the Z3 had, ugggh no. Worse camera experience in my life.
Z5 is the best...
