Galaxy S8+ vs iPhone 7 Plus: Which one takes better photos?
We took both phones out for a two-day shoot around the San Francisco Bay area and tested them in seven categories: landscape, zoom, close-ups, action, portrait selfies and low-light. Both were set on the default automatic settings unless they had a specific mode for that category.
