How the iPhone 6S camera compares to that of the Galaxy S6 and iPhone 6

One of the main improvements to come with Apple's newest iPhone is its camera.

The iPhone 6S comes with a 12-megapixel camera compared to the 8-megapixel camera on the iPhone 6, which means it should be able to take higher quality images. Apple has been using an 8-megapixel camera on the iPhone since the iPhone 4S launched in 2011. 

The Galaxy S6, however, has a higher megapixel count than both iPhones at 16 megapixels.

To see how noticeable these differences are in everyday use, I tested the camera on each phone by capturing the same image, at the same time, under the same circumstances. 

(Note: Each phone was set to auto, and none of the images have been edited. For the purposes of this test, we used an iPhone 6s, iPhone 6 Plus, and Galaxy S6 Edge. The iPhone 6 Plus' camera is the same as that of the iPhone 6, except the iPhone 6 Plus offers optical image stabilization, which means it keeps the camera more stable if your hands shake while shooting the image. The Galaxy S6 Edge's camera is exactly the same as that of the Galaxy S6.)
