Conclusions
It was very clear the overall superiority of Moto Maxx camera and Galaxy Note 4. Both have more than twice as many votes added the third, the LG G3. That is, through the eyes of readers, the disparity between these two smartphones front to others is really very large .
There is a big technical difference between the two models to analyze the photographic bias. While Motorola bet your chips on the Sony sensor with 21 megapixels, the Brazilian version of Samsung’s phablet uses ISOCELL technology, developed by South Korea’s own, with 16 megapixel capacity.
On the other hand, we have the stunning outcome and the final proof that the number of megapixels is not directly proportional to the picture quality. One example is the Moto X 2014 and its 13 MP camera overcome the Xperia Z3 Compact , which has a component of 20.7 MP.
There are several factors to consider to complete a so fierce fighting between the two devices that stood out, one of the imaging that is the most vital to obtain satisfactory results. In contrast to the past, Samsung implements an algorithm to maintain the color levels in the natural pattern can not create paintings rather than photographs.
It is curious to notice that despite the Moto Maxx have received a slightly higher number of votes against the Note 4, won only 3 scenarios, from 5 representative from Samsung. This, in the first instance, may mean that the Moto Maxx has a regularity that strengthens in general conditions varied. After all, was not hurt in any of the situations. The Note 4 too, but a little below.
The two holdings which do not run Android, iPhone 6 and the Lumia 930, did not fare as well in relation to rivals the little robot . The Apple device with 8 megapixels was slightly above the Microsoft gadget, which has 20MP. With the exception of the last two devices, the list of the order hits the scores provided by our comparison tool, reflecting results somewhat expected to take into account the technical information of their cameras.

Of course this test and voting is not intended to be definitive, because, we are talking about smartphone cameras and no dedicated devices. However, for its proposal, proves to be very useful. This is because reveals in real and varied conditions on the level of quality shots that you can expect from each top of the line.
If realizássemos something more technical, the results may be different. But the vast majority of people will not use your smartphone for such specific purposes. And those who seek it, would probably find best solution in a professional camera.
With all that said, can talk with a high degree of confidence that the Moto Maxx and Galaxy Note 4 currently represent the best in photography for smartphones . The two won all scenarios and most of the time with a nice advantage.
That is, choosing one or the other, the user hardly be disappointed, at least on the camera aspect. If this is not such a decisive factor in consumer opinion, any of the devices used will work account. On the other hand, the difference between them is meaningful. It remains the consumer to decide what weighs more at the time of purchase.
Of course, we will shortly publish our own analysis of the photos of this comparative. We will update this post when entering the air. If you want to be notified, just leave a comment. But first, we want to ask you something: now, seeing the images at full resolution, would change their votes
