Google did a good job of avoiding the lack of OIS on both the 5X and 6P. I don't mind not having wireless charging capability, but OIS has proven to be a helpful feature when taking photos in less than ideal situations. I think, if size isn't an issue, the Nexus 6 is still a solid option at the reduced price point.
- dozy 11y agoThough hard to say if this is true, it seemed their argument during the presentation was that the bigger sensor/pixels in both devices make up for the lack of OIS, and they specifically compared performance against the Nexus 6.
- cheald 11y agoThe 1.55 micrometer pixel sensors are interesting. If they actually do what they're supposed to, then exposure times should be decreased which would theoretically reduce the usefulness of OIS. I guess we'll see once the reviews start coming in.
- mtgx 11y agoOnly partially. OIS is still useful for video stabilization. Bigger pixels won't help there.
- cheald 11y agoGranted, but you can make that up with software stabilization, so long as each individual frame isn't blurry. I'd definitely have preferred OIS, but I'm not convinced that it's a dealbreaker just yet.

- shostack 11y agoIs the S6 identical to the S6 Edge? Looks like their Edge review had some comments questioning it, and while they confirmed the cameras are the same, they never confirmed on the comment regarding many S6's shipping with inferior Samsung sensors.
