The Nexus 5X today confronts three of its competitors who are none other than the Galaxy S6, the iPhone 6S and the LG G4. Who makes the best picture of the day and night?
Unlike LG G4 and Galaxy S6, Nexus 5X does not offer OIS optical stabilization, however, its 12.3 megapixel image sensor offers large photosites of 1.55 microns which allow it to capture more light, all accompanied by a dual LED flash and a laser autofocus.
For its part, the Galaxy S6 Camera outfit a 16 megapixel photo sensor aperture f / 1.9 with OIS optical stabilization. The LG G4 Camera features a 16 megapixel photo sensor aperture f / 1.8 with OIS optical and laser stabilization and autofocus, the iPhone 6S Camera of 12 megapixel photo sensor aperture f / 2.2 with dual LED flash. According DxOMark, the photo sensor of the iPhone 6S is below that offer its Android competitors. We will now be able to do our own idea.
Indoors, where the light is good, all four sensors offers good performance. We notice some differences but nothing really alarming, the quality is there for all of them. Outside, the Nexus 5X the photo sensor stands out by offering brighter colors. At night, things get a little complicated. The LG G4 sometimes tends to overexpose is particularly visible in the latest picture. More generally, his three rivals are doing better in low light while it is he who is supposed to offer the best opening.
Macro, Nexus 5X really shows its potential. Ditto for the Galaxy S6 which remains one of the best in the market, although since the photo sensor of the Sony Xperia Z5 passed him on DxOMark. The iPhone 6S is struggling but still offers a correct result, even if the level of detail offered is not up to its competitors.
