iPhone 6s has only the tenth best mobile camera tested by DxOMark

Over the past few weeks, DxOMark has added quite a few new Android devices to its database rating mobile cameras. We've seen the Moto X Style and the Huawei Nexus 6P perform admirably, and then there was the Sony Xperia Z5 - actually climbing to the top of the experts' charts.
