The floodlights were back on at Gateshead...
I took this picture with my S6, I'm now wondering if spending more money for a camera will make such a difference.

The only issue is flaring on lights, there is normally a point where the flaring starts because of the headlight angle, but just moving elsewhere fixes it.
I'm not saying it's a great shot, but is it worth spending such amounts to match or beat the low light quality?
I don't want to invest money to find that the flare has been slightly reduced, but the other problems still exist in low light (obnoxious grain, blurring etc etc)

These are my worst dark workings uploaded:

As you can see, the flaring in low light is a bit of a gamble (albeit the floodlighting was off #2, was on #1 #3. Dan managed decent photos in the same situation). I can't even establish what the factors are, aside from the headlight glaring. Even in daylight, there is glaring in slightly bright light, where there wasn't being there in person:

My point here is mixed and vague, but am I realistically going to be able to fix these issues by just changing my equiptment? I have messed with all of the settings, manual and auto on my phone in every dark/light situation.
