When it comes to smartphone cameras, no one should expect a four-year-old startup like OnePlus to realistically take on a tech behemoth like Samsung, but OnePlus puts up a seriously good fight.

See if the Galaxy S8's superior camera truly warrants the extra $240 you'd spend over buying a OnePlus 5:
