    Samsung Galaxy S5

    Here's a comparison of a low light shot from the S6 versus the S5. You can click on it for the full resolution version. The difference in detail is huge -- look at the plate, the items in the hutch, and the decanter stoppers. The S5 is also quite blurry and grainy overall. Granted, the S6 isn't...

    Samsung Galaxy S5

    A few weeks ago, I looked at my Galaxy S4 and thought, "This is actually a great phone". When I got it, I was coming off of the Galaxy Note 2, so there wasn't anything really exciting or new about the S4. But I came to appreciate how solidly it performed.
