Here's a look at how the camera on the Samsung Galaxy S6 performs against the iPhone 6.

The iPhone 6 features an 8MP camera with 1.5-micron pixels and f2.2 aperture. The Samsung Galaxy S6 has a 16 megapixel sensor with an f1.9 aperture.

Both CNET and The Verge had the opportunity to test out the devices.

Check out the results below!

The Verge:
To find out, we put the S6 head to head with the iPhone 6 Plus to see how it fared in a variety of situations. As it turns out, the S6 can hang: it's very close to the iPhone in terms of image quality and detail. The S6 shots are a little warmer, but not offensively so, and the two phones handle low-light a bit differently.

CNET
The Galaxy S6 and the iPhone 6 were pretty neck-and-neck. Personally, I'd give the Galaxy S6 the slight edge, since I'm partial to its saturated tones that come off bright without looking too unrealistic (a characteristic that plagued Galaxy cameras before).

There seems a little bit of "yellowing" in the Samsung pictures....especially noticeable on the food truck picture where the writing shows up white on apple, and a tad yellow on samsung...th car picture in the night seems better on Apple too, Sky in the seagull picture on Apple seems unnaturally blue....otherwise, both seem to take fantastic photos!

The camera on the iPhone 6 is definitely better! However, I still wish Apple would improve the front camera (for the upcoming iPhone 6s/iPhone 7 so we could take better quality selfies! Lol.

Android possess one good thing, customizing its screens....However, iPhone WINS everything else!!

iPhone's camera is much better. iPhone photos clearer.

Leon Mcgregor - April 6, 2015 at 8:57pm

according to fandroids that the iPhone has only 8mp camera and they have the most mp. Does mp matters?

gamerscul9870 - April 6, 2015 at 9:09pm

No. They take up more memory yet better lens and sensors work the same way without hogging it.

Low light and white balance better on the iphone 6

gamerscul9870 - April 6, 2015 at 8:34pm

It may be dark in the car lights one, but iPhone camera takes the cake.

gamerscul9870 - April 7, 2015 at 12:41pm

Never-mind, it was my screen brightness.

Without a doubt at night with car lights apple is so much better !

ISMAEL SANTOS - April 6, 2015 at 8:20pm

I like. My iPhone is much much better in camera in performance. Everything is better with Apple.

gamerscul9870 - April 6, 2015 at 8:22pm

I will say most photos look better on iPhone or galaxy, but I kind of agree. Kind of.

gamerscul9870 - April 6, 2015 at 8:14pm

In some areas, white balance looks better on iPhone, but with slightly better light capture, sometimes it's either. Both are great.
