Samsung Galaxy S6

📅 2015 📷 16 MP 🎬 4K30
from $599

📖 Overview

The 2015 Galaxy S6 paired a 16MP f/1.9 main camera with optical image stabilization and a comparatively large 1/2.6" sensor, making it one of the strongest low-light phone cameras of its era. Its Pro mode added manual controls and RAW (DNG) capture, plus 4K/30fps video, while the 5MP front camera handled selfies. Note Samsung dropped the S5's water resistance here, so the S6 carries no IP rating.
