What sort of ignorance is that? According to you, it's poor. According to DxOMark Mobile, the Note.5 has a score of 86 landing third overall, while the S7 Edge scores 88 which ranks No. 1. Still denying to yourself? Still going on with squarish picture and megapixels as your basis?

Not according to you, but by DxOMark remarks the S7 Edge:
"The 26mm f/1.7 lens delivers very accurate and repeatable exposures, which helped the S7 edges achieve an outstanding Exposure & Contrast score of 90 during our tests."

"With low levels of noise for both indoor and outdoor photography, the S7 Edge is capable of capturing rich and textured images in all conditions."

Photo score for Note.5 is 87, while S7 Edge is 88. But for video, Note.5 score only 84, while S7 Edge is 88. DxOMark again praises the S7 Edge's video recording with "... notable improvements to its video performance, achieving a Video sub-score of 88 points, compared to 84 points for the S6 edge. Again, videos capture nice exposures, with pleasant color and excellent video autofocus and stabilization performance, too."

I'd like a more test-thorough opinion than the mere person going about with squarish picture format and megapixels. I'd like the best camera performer that can potentially be at least as best as the No.1 ranked mobile camera device as the S7 Edge.

This youtube video below gives a really detailed comparison between the S7 and GN5 camera and video.... stills start at about 7:20.

          To me the S7 is a clear low light winner, the GN5 stabilisation is clearly better.... good light is too close to call at youtube resolutions... the GN5 is warmer.

            Plus s7 has very little advantage in low light over Note5 ..and s7 looses to LG G5 shamelessly in low light. So if you see there is nothing to brag abt its low light camera either & Again Hopefully the Note7 does not get the same camera of S7 .

              AnonD-100398, 19 Jun 2016Daylight photos are more important they sud not be square and with less details than before.I agree that the new GN7 should have 16:9 photos but either way it will be a good step up from the GN4 and as good or better than the GN5.

              I don't agree on daylight photos being more important than low light... even the cheapest camera can produce good photos in bright conditions (many people would struggle to tell the difference between a point and shoot and DSLR)... the test is how they perform in low light.

                  AnonD-549632, 18 Jun 2016haha sony what a joke !Seriously, if you have a sony device, it will last long. S7, s7 edge, and note 5 will break easily if they fall even only once! I already dropped my xperia for 7-10 times and I dont even need to worry if its broken or not cause I know its not. While, if you have a samsung, you might want to save much more money to have replacement for the screen or the phone itself. Also the performance is still the way it was when i bought it.

Sealed battery is still a backward way for the future for devices. Glass back is still stupid. It's the plot of manufactures to have you get a new phone by the following year.

                                      S7 series camera is superb taking very low light situations. Give me at least two reputable links that tell otherwise. And the expandable memory is such a beloved help. No lag. 60fps - no problem.
