We’re back with another Camera Blind Test where we battle out the imaging capabilities of smartphones and let you, our readers, vote for who you think captured the better shot in Auto Mode.

For this article we pit the Huawei Nexus 6P against the Samsung Galaxy Note 5.

Before we get down with the sample shots, let’s first check out the hardware that was built in to these phones.

Huawei Nexus 6P camera specs:
12.3 MP main camera
f/2.0 aperture
Laser autofocus
Dual-LED flash
1/2.3-inch sensor size, 1.55µm pixel size

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 camera specs:
16 MP main camera,
f/1.9 aperture, 28mm
OIS
Dual-LED flash
1/2.6-inch sensor size, 1.12 µm pixel size

Just like before, sample photos will be labeled with A or B so you won’t know which device took which picture. We will be revealing the results after tallying all your votes.

Note: Be sure to vote per category as the sample images are mixed (Nexus 6P is sometimes A, sometimes B. Same with Note 5).
