Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge: How to Change Picture Size in Camera App in Android 5.1.1 Lollipop

You can set the size to a higher resolution to have a picture with a higher quality, or you can set it to a lower resolution if you want to have a picture with a smaller size so your storage will not drain quickly.
