If there was ever a year to replace your camera with a smartphone, this is it. The iPhone 6s Plus (technically a late 2015 device), iPhone SE, Galaxy S7, LG G5, and now the HTC 10 combine to form an impressive slate of pocket cameras.

The new HTC 10 aims for Samsung's current throne, strapping an f/1.8 shooter with a sensor that sits right in that 12.1 megapixel sweet spot we're seeing on most of the best phone cameras. But can it compete with a Galaxy S7 shot-for-shot? I put it to the test.
