I made the switch from an iPhone 5 to the s6.
I'm currently vacationing in Paris and thought it would be a great opportunity to test the camera. Photos turn out great.
I use vscocam and Instagram constantly. Its the best place to share my photos and I thought what could be better than pairing up those apps with the s6 camera?
Turns out android has TERRIBLE apps. After noticing that something really weird was happening with my photos as I post them I started googling and kept finding links like these.

Turns out both vscocam and android have terrible image compression due to androids limitations on what compression algorithms are available or something. Whatever the reason, it has basically rendered this otherwise nice phone into a useless piece of junk for my needs as a recreational photographer.
I'm actually resorting to sending my photos to my iPhone from my s6 so I can actually post them without gagging.
Just wanted to warn anyone else who wants to make the leap to android due to the s6s camera and use Instagram as heavily as I do.
