I've got an iphone 6 for work, and an S6 edge for personal use. I can say with confidence that the Samsung camera is better. However I will say they're close enough, and they're both so far ahead of the pack, that you could flip a coin.
Taste is subjective, I have no doubt you like the Samsung more. But subjectively, on average, people like iPhone photos more often than they like Android photos.
On an internet poll. When the results are this close, details matter. Not to mention there are no Android photos, only Samsung, Nokia, &c. And even then, different models.
Not saying you're wrong (I think you're right). But if you're going to quote something, choose a believable source that sustains your point, not a dodgy one that almost refutes it.
It would even be valid suggesting that a point and shoot outclasses mobile phone cameras.
Also, please before someone does, do not use the “The best watercolors are the watercolors you have on you” trope.
Ultimately, smartphone cameras have very small sensors, so their "technical" performance (the pixel peeping I mentioned) is inherently inferior to that of larger format cameras.
That part is definitely not false... My Sony RX100 II blows these cameras out of the water and its a pocket camera.
but at the same time it's kind of worth it, because it's easily the best camera on a cellphone i've ever used.
But man, the battery...
Also, Nexus 6P (with the usb 3.1 type C) can get fully charged in under 10 minutes. I've heard that it's possible to get days worth of usage with just like 8 or 9 minutes of charging. That sounds pretty nifty.
As a Xperia Z5 owner, I don't believe you ;)
Seriously, there are more phones with great cameras now. Both Samsung and Apple can get lost in the crowd - see above mentioned Xperia or LG G4.
