    Answer: Photo B

    Look at the leaves: the A57 renders the rose leaves blue-grey, the 17e keeps them green. It was the clearest colour difference of the day; the roses look a similar red.

  5. Question 5 of 5The iPhone 17e saved 24 MP photos at 1x, the Galaxy A57 12 MP. Where does that show most?
    Show answer

    Answer: In the centre crops: more fine detail

    The 17e saved 24 MP files and the A57 12 MP, so the 17e's centre crops hold more fine detail. Each comparison page shows the crops side by side.
