Nexus 5 owner and general android fanboy here. I'd agree with you if not for the fact that the Nexus 5's camera is still not nearly as good as the iPhone 5/6's.

Nexus 5 owner and general android fanboy here. I'd agree with you if not for the fact that the Nexus 5's camera is still not nearly as good as the iPhone 5/6's. In fact it can be downright terrible at times.
- cylinder 12y agoAgree the camera can be poor but I think future software fixes will remedy that. Hardware upgrades to Nexus 6 are more affordable due to lower price of the device, too. I also like the extra features like multiple panoramic options and photo sphere.
- Systemic33 12y agoPoor camera is not a software problem. It's a matter of hardware. And skimping on the qualitative stuff like a camera is a very easy way to lower price.
- dwg 12y agoSkeptical about software fixes for camera problems. If the hardware itself isn't very good, then software will only be able to do so much...
- frandroid 12y agoThere's nothing that comes close to the iPhone camera on Android, unfortunately. :(
- petercooper 12y agoI am in both Android and iOS camps and I'd say the Note 3's camera comes very close, perhaps even beating it on stills and certainly on 4K recording. The Note's auto-focus is absolutely hideous though so for short videos/vlogging/Vine/Facetime/Skype the iPhone is still the winner. I'm still getting the 6 Plus instead of the Note 4 though.. simply because it's three fewer weeks to wait ;-P
- frandroid 12y agoThe multi-tone flash on the iPhone is a killer feature that even expensive DSLRs don't have...
- petercooper 12y agoI'll check it out. I never use the flash on any camera (even my DSLR) simply because it never looks good, but it sounds like the iPhone's might be worth a go.
