Nothing illustrates the sheer quality of phone cameras more than the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. Disclaimer: the company paid for a bunch of us technology journalists to go to a remote vacation spot, Pelling in Sikkim for a ‘photo walk’.

So the phone boasts of a 16 megapixel camera with Optical Image Stabalisation (OIS) and a super-fast f/1.9 lens.

Upfront the phone has a 5-megapixel sensor, which is rapidly becoming the norm, and the 120—degree wide angle selfie mode is also pretty neat.

See the results for yourself. All the pictures were taken by the Galaxy S6 Edge.
