Samsung Galaxy S6 vs iPhone 6 blind camera comparison: vote for the better phone

Below you'll find six scenes captured with the Galaxy S6 and the iPhone 6 under identical conditions – same time of the day, same distance from whatever was being photographed. Both phones had their cameras set to their automatic modes, with their LED flashes and HDR modes disabled. But we couldn't include full-resolution images in a blind comparison as that would have revealed which phone captured each individual image. That's why we cropped the photos to the same aspect ratio after the shootout and scaled them down to the same resolution. Then we shuffled them around.

All we ask from you now is to take a good look at the photos below and vote for the ones you like better. Simple, isn't it? And to make it easier for you to judge the quality of the images, we've included side-by-side previews which you can click and explore. Also, the slideshow galleries for each scene contain up to three close-up crops and a high-resolution version of each image. With this out of the way, let the voting begin!

Scene 2: The ruins

These are the remains of an old public bath complex, dating back from the days when the Roman empire was in its prime. The images contain plenty of fine details, and their color tone hints at how well the two cameras handle white balance.

Scene 3: A colorful close-up

Hemerocallis fulva, also known as а daylilу, is loved and grown for its attractive flowers. Here's a couple of them, presented in a bright, colorful close-up shot. One of the two phones has obviously gone for a more contrasty look, while the other has preserved more detail in shadowy areas.

Scene 5: Battleship ready

This torpedo boat, now over 100 years old, has long served its duty. Taking a closer look reveals how much detail the two cameras preserve and how much it is sharpened. Slight differences in white balance are also noticeable.

Scene 6: Chill out

After a long, tiring day, it is time to kick back and chill out. Here's a couple of shots taken in the low-light setting of a cocktail bar. The photos demonstrate how well the cameras capture light and how good of a photo they can take when it is scarce.
