iPhone 6 vs Galaxy S 6 edge camera comparison

Apple’s iPhone has always been one of
the most consistent camera-phones. It’s
evolved over time with each iteration
doing a better job of replacing point and
shoot’s. Samsung has also given a lot of
attention to its flagship phones’ cameras
and has managed to pack in a plethora
of imaging feature. The latest versions of
the two phones are no different and
boast of high end optics.
We took the iPhone 6 and the Galaxy S6
edge cameras to their paces to find out
which one does a better job. We shot
pictures in day light, low light, and
indoor modes as well as with a macro
perspective.
Both Apple iPhone 6 and Samsung Galaxy
S6 edge take breathtaking photos in day
light. Samsung’s colours are a little over
saturated while the iPhone takes more
natural albeit colder pictures. Pictures
shot with the Galaxy S6 edge have a
warmer colour temperature that makes
them more likeable.
However, both phone cameras offer
great amount of detail, right contrast
(especially in HDR mode) and super
sharp quality.
This is one area where the Samsung
Galaxy S6 edge leaps ahead of Apple
iPhone 6 thanks to the Optical Image
Stabilization and a faster lens. Low light
photos taken with the S6 edge are more
detailed and less noisy.
The iPhone 6 also takes less noisy low
light pictures compared to its
predecessors but cannot match the
Galaxy S6 edge.
Both iPhone 6 and Galaxy S6 edge take
amazing pictures indoors depending on
the ambient light. More the light better
the image quality and detail. The object
captured in the image looks more
authentic in the picture shot with the
iPhone 6 though as colour reproduction
is better.
The Galaxy S6’s camera is much faster in
taking photos and locking focus is easy.
You can even focus on a moving object
while recording a video, which can take
some getting used to, but overall works
out well. You can fire up the camera by
double pressing the home button,
allowing you to shoot more
spontaneously.
Close-up shots show hints of the depth-
of-field or bokeh effect, even if you don’t
intend. The smartphone can even take
great photos that capture high levels of
details even at 2X zoom. It also offers 4K
video recording which the iPhone 6 does
not.
Samsung offers deep customisation of
advanced imaging settings offering more
control. The best part about the iPhone
6’s camera is the ease of use. So if you
just want a good, simple to use camera,
the iPhone 6 is a good choice.
However, in terms of the overall camera
capabilities and image quality, the Galaxy
S6 edge wins the contest.
