This is the Android smartphone with the best camera

We took our list of smartphone contenders from the prestigious DxOMark rankings and put your keen eyes to the test to see if you see the same things that DxOMark's extensive testing does. We randomly assigned letters of the alphabet to the phones and then took sample shots of a variety of subjects with each one. We then shared the galleries and asked you to vote for the one you thought was best.

With an overwhelming majority of 40 percent, camera C was our clear winner. But the big question is, which phone does camera C belong to? Did you guess right? It was none other than the Xperia Z5.

Our clear first place winner was also the same camera phone that DxOMark named the best smartphone camera so congratulations guys, your eyes did not deceive you. But what about the runners-up?

Oddly enough we had two two-way ties for the remaining four spots. Cameras D and E came in equal second with 22 percent of the vote, and cameras A and B tied for third place with eight percent each. We knew you guys wouldn't be happy with a vague tie, though, so we dug into the numbers behind the percentages to get a definite list, but boy, was it close.

Enough with the suspense: here are the smartphones with their corresponding letters and the votes each received.

1st place: Sony Xperia Z5 (smartphone C) 40 percent (575 votes)

2nd place: Moto X Pure Edition (smartphone E) 22 percent (321 votes)

3rd place: LG G4 (smartphone D) 22 percent (316 votes)

4th place: Nexus 6P (smartphone B) 8 percent (111 votes)

5th place: Samsung Galaxy S6 (smartphone A) 8 percent (109 votes)

As you can tell, with a split as close as two votes, the results could have flipped between the second and third place holders and the fourth and fifth place holders if I had pulled the results even just a minute later. But the Xperia Z5 definitely took first place, both according to your judgment and DxOMark's extensive testing.

The Moto X Pure Edition just nudged out the aging LG G4 for second spot and, the Galaxy S6 came in last, getting beaten by a nose by the Nexus 6P. Considering the Galaxy S6 is the oldest of these phones, perhaps this isn't too surprising, but it's definitely time we reassessed what we think is the best camera phone on Android.

Did you pick the winner? Would you have guessed the order correctly? Tell us what you think below.

Samsung is building a revolutionary ROLL-UP smartphone

GETTY • US PATENT OFFICE Example of a flexible display, LEFT, and the illustrations filed with the Samsung patent, RIGHT Samsung has been awarded a US patent for a brand-new foldable, rollable display to use across its smartphone and tablet ranges. The South Korean technology firm recently used its flexible display technology in the award-winning Galaxy S6 Edge, which has a dual curved QHD screen. However this latest patent, which was published by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, shows the company has bolder ambitions for its curved displays. The illustrations filed with the approved patent reveal a cylindrical hub, which houses the rolled display – which unfurls like a pair of window blinds.

HTC 10 vs Samsung Galaxy S7 / Edge vs LG G5

In the Android world, we follow a familiar release cycle when it comes to flagship smartphones, mostly centered around the two major trade shows, MWC and IFA. This year, Samsung and LG were first out of the gate with their respective flagship offerings being showcased back during MWC 2016, and while HTC was a little late to the party, we now have all three high-end offerings to choose from. Each device brings something unique to the table to help distinguish themselves from the other, and we've covered them extensively here at Android Authority with comprehensive reviews, in-depth comparisons, and feature focus articles. Which is the best of the lot? That is what we aim to find out, as we take a closer look at the HTC 10 vs Samsung Galaxy S7 / Galaxy S7 Edge vs LG G5 in this unique triple-threat versus! Design In design, we start with the LG G5, given its complete departure from the norm with regards to design and build quality. The G5 now features a full-metal

The Samsung Galaxy Note7 (S820) Review

This year has been difficult for smartphones, which is a bit of a paradox when you consider just how much better things have gotten compared to last year. With Snapdragon 820, 650, 652, and 625 we've finally moved past the shadow of the Snapdragon 810, 808, and 617/615. While there were Android devices that shipped with the Exynos 7420, they were often paired with a modem that was not necessarily the most power efficient. Despite all of this, there seems to be a general disappointment with smartphones. People are increasingly finding it hard to justify phones like the HTC 10 or Galaxy S7 with competition from OnePlus, Xiaomi, and even Apple with their iPhone SE. In this context the Galaxy Note7 brings much of the flavor of the Galaxy S7 edge, but blends it with the S-Pen of the Note line and a few new features like the iris scanner. If you were paying attention to the industry with the launch of the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy Note5, it's very much more of the same rather than the m
