Hate to point this out, but that camera ain't as brill as they are making out.

Inside shots suffer from watercolor effect close up.

Outside shots show a fair amount of distortion at non central focus points.

Though to be fair, tech journalists hardly ever take a decent photo.

Until you commented with your 'photo head' on I just thought they were very amateurish. Not really pictures I would have used to sell a camera on a phone....

[MI5]

Yeah but it's a clever camera that can both over and under expose on the same photo !

Soz, but raw and manual or not, Galaxy S6 is still best snapper.
Not one casual user will use raw and the jpeg compression is less brutal on the Samsung
