<div>While people have been debating over the new styling of the flagship smartphone from Samsung, there have been some noticeable changes that make the Galaxy S6 an impressive device to have today. One of the most prominent changes is the camera unit. The 16MP module has been borrowed from the Galaxy Note 4 and boasts of the same OIS (Optical image stabilization) system to improve the focusing. It is also capable of recording high resolution 4K videos as well.</div><div> </div><div>The camera on the S6 is very fast, especially the shutter which comes with zero lag. An interesting feature that Samsung has added lets you jump straight to the camera app by just double tapping the home button, this is a nice shortcut as there is no dedicated camera button and it is actually fast. In terms of quality, pictures come out sharp, contrast is balanced and colors feel pretty accurate. In low light conditions, shots of still objects turn out to be good thanks to the f/1.9 aperture, but if you have moving objects, you could end up with shaky pictures unless you have a tripod or super stable hands. Noise is well in control and pictures shot in low light don’t feel very grainy.</div><div> </div><table width="200" border="0" align="right" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td><img src="/image/image_gallery?uuid=a55f16af-9ff5-41e0-8f9f-86b25d7cd58e&groupId=36166&t=1430989529587" width="200" height="200" align="right" alt="" /></td></tr><tr><td>Random Clicks: Delhi Buses</td></tr></tbody></table><div>The interface of the camera app is quite straightforward with a few modes pre-installed and other that can be downloaded separately. There is a sports mode to capture high speed objects and a pro-mode which is basically the manual mode that lets you control the focus, ISO, white balance and the exposure compensation. T<br /><br />he camera app also consists of certain presets (filters) and you can even tweak them to create your own. Perfect if you love putting your pictures on Instagram or similar photo sharing apps. In the video department, the quality is sharp and accurate. <br /><br />With the inclusion of tracking autofocus, videos stay in focus but sadly this feature didn’t seem to work when shooting in 4K resolution. Still, the video capabilities on the S6 are remarkable. .</div><div> </div><table width="200" border="0" align="left" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td><img src="/image/image_gallery?uuid=c3078d13-a4d5-4a23-a009-93d52de01a2c&groupId=36166&t=1430989628770" width="200" height="200" alt="" /></td></tr><tr><td> Hard Rock Cafe</td></tr></tbody></table><div>Since there are moving parts in the camera module, the whole mechanism could not be accommodated in the slim body, thus it protrudes out from the back. This makes you extra cautious so that you don’t end up scratching the lens when you are keeping the smartphone on a hard surface. However the slight hump is quite worth it as the picture quality is superb for a smartphone camera. </div><div> </div><div>The quality of the camera on the Galaxy S6 is very similar to the Galaxy Note 4 along with some fine tuning and refinements. However if you have an older generation smartphone, say the Galaxy S5 or even the Lumia 1020, then the S6 will not disappoint. </div>
