With that in mind, most of our comparisons were made using default JPEG output, with RAW performance taken into account when it made a major difference.Īll of the phones were tested using up-to-date software (as of publication) and manufacturer-provided default camera apps (including the Google camera app for the Nexus 6).
This gives them a notable edge in some tests, but the RAW shots (.DNG files) are very large (25MB+ per shot) and most users will likely never shoot in RAW. It's also a significantly bigger and heavier device than the other smartphones in this group, so the sensor and lens advantage comes with some real drawbacks.Īlso worth noting: All but three of our test phones-the Samsung S6, Sony Z3 Compact, and iPhone 6-currently support RAW capture. The obvious outlier in this group is the Panasonic Lumix CM1 its 1-inch sensor is nearly as big as the other six phones' sensors combined. The CM1 is a brick of a phone, of course, but it makes fewer image quality compromises than anything else we've tested. Paired with the larger sensor, the Leica glass can swallow more light than any other smartphone lens. While f/2.8 sounds smaller than the rest of the field, it's all relative. Panasonic's Lumix CM1 stands apart from the smartphone camera field with a massive 1-inch image sensor, a Leica-branded lens, and a bright f/2.8 max aperture.
