How the iPhone's camera compares to the Samsung Galaxy Note 5

Today we use our smartphones more than ever for photography, so it's important to pick a phone with a great camera.

Both the iPhone 6 Plus and Galaxy Note 5 come with top-of-the-line cameras, although they use different sensors. The camera in the iPhone 6 Plus has an 8-megapixel sensor, for instance, while the Galaxy Note 5 has a 16-megapixel sensor.

There's been some debate as to whether or not more megapixels actually matters when it comes to image quality, as it's only one factor in capturing a compelling photo.

Take a look at the photos below to see how the images taken with the iPhone 6 Plus differ from those shot by the Note 5.

For the purposes of this test, we left each camera on its auto setting. The photos have been re-sized but not edited otherwise, and each picture was taken in the same place, at the same time, under the same circumstances.
