I don’t understand why anyone would vote A for low light with flash. It’s definitely washed out and out of focus. B on the other hand has lots of details.

What a joke photo comparison… Most people choose the fake high saturation colors of galaxy. of course, the more richer colours, the better on our eyes. so people will choose most likely what looks better even if iphone actually had truer colors. Lowlight photo on galaxy had soft haze-like glows while iphone had none. You can actually use post processing techniques by using photo editors to enhance contrast and brightness of photos. So iphone photos appear to have raw and real colors compare to galaxy.

Lmao look at all these immature android users. You don’t see a single iOS user on the comment bashing but 2-3 android users are. Show that the age group of android are between 5-10 years old insecure kids.
