DxOMark, an image quality-rating website, which until now rated Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ on the same position as well. 5p5p3p

As per DxOMark's latest report the website, Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ scored 87 points under the mobile photo section and 85 points under mobile video section. The smartphone overall received 87 points - same as Sony Xperia Z5. It is worth mentioning that the website gave Xperia Z5 88 points under the mobile photo section and 86 for the mobile video section. The tests are based on seven areas namely Exposure and contrast, Colour, Autofocus, Texture, Noise, Artefacts, and Flash/Stabilisation.

For those unaware, Samsung ships its Galaxy Note 5 either with a Sony IMX240 camera sensor or with the home-brewed Isocell camera sensor. Sony on the other hand ships its Xperia Z5 with Exmor RS CMOS sensor. The website however, has not detailed which camera sensor the Gaalaxy S6 Edge+ review unit featured.
