To Pixel or not to Pixel, that is the question.

Can you quote me when there is an in-depth side by side comparison only? Thanks. I am looking mainly towards Business Insider's in-depth comparison cause they really had an excellent review of iphone 7 vs S7's camera.

I do think Pixel should be able to beat the iphone 7/Plus Camera however. (Not in all cases though) Apple's camera was once the camera to beat but this generation, not so much apart from the zoom. Still, one way or another, Pixel's camera will certainly be an improvement over the relative cameras the Nexus devices had for sure regardless of whether or not it wins.

Very true, Apple is losing on the imaging processing front too, which is crazy. What's Samsung secret? They jumped 2 generations ahead when it comes to image quality and not even the (months late) iPhone 7 comes close. Are they making their own sensors now?

While I am not a big camera guy, I believe it is due to their dual pixel auto-focus system. Essentially, virtually every smartphone camera and most traditional cameras have 5-10% of its pixels that are dedicated for focusing on a certain object where as the S7's camera uses 100% of its Pixels in order to focus. It allows the camera to focus super fast compared to other smartphones and Samsung's ISOCELL tech helps greatly in lowlight. The results are that when you take a picture, you should get the best results avaliable with the least amount of mistakes, even in low light situations to put it in simply. When you have all these technologies coming together with OIS which also helps taking pictures, the results are craycray.

I hope every phone from next generation has Dual Pixel tech because it is incredible. And yes, they do make their own sensors for their cameras.
