Interesting! This is from the link to photo testing in the middle of your post. So the Samsung S7 camera is better than the iPhone camera, after a survey of iPhone users. So the S7 has the better camera, too!

People always go for the overly saturated colors, thinking that's what makes a good photograph. It doesn't.

People always go for the overly saturated colors, thinking that's what makes a good photograph. It doesn't.

If people like it, then why isn't it good? Photography, art in general, is preference based. If it's not the "most realistic" but it's what people prefer, then that is "correct".

Perception and preference are subjective things - and in the big scheme of things, that's what matters.
