I have recently switched back to an Android phone after going to an iPhone 6 Plus for a year. i totally love the iPhone camera quality. I wanted to get a GS7 after hearing about how good it is and the camera being top of the line. I was with a HTC One M7 before but got fed up with the phone hardware on Android phones. so now i have the GS7 and am disappointed in the camera lens quality. there is distortions with straight lines not being straight and when photographing lights in the dark the lens flare is awful. see here:
The first shots is with the iPhone 6+

that being said I'm surprised no one else has complained about this. do i need a replacement or is the lens just crappy? I like the phone for the most part. And am glad to be on Android again.
The larger aperture is more prone to lens flare. There is a give and take with everything. That being said, the quality of the S7 is waayyy better than the 6+ pics.
