The Sony's sensor seem to capture more detail and have a more contrast in colours. We don't have a Galaxy S7 device with Sony sensor to compare it with the Samsung sensor but from the images posted on the web, it seems the differences are very minor. You can check more image samples here: Image 1, Image 2, Image 3, Image 4, Image 5, Image 6, Image 7, Image 8, Image 9, Image 10, Image 11 Even with the HDR mode on, this is a very fast camera. This helps while clicking fast subjects, like pets. It locks focus very fast and it processes images fast once you tap on the screen. But in some cases, it falls little short, although this will be evident only to discernible eyes and those who are used to crisp and accurate image quality that expensive cameras can provide. On most occasions, Samsung's approach works well. Obviously, there are some trade-offs to be made in every solution and Samsung too seem to have made some in the way it processes images clicked with the S7 Edge. Even in day light images, in shadows, you can notice some of this softness. This is particularly noticeable in low light images when the light is uneven. However, in the grand scheme of things this is a small niggle.Ī slightly bigger issue is the Galaxy S7 Edge's tendency to wipe out noise so aggressively from images that it also robs them of details. Get too close during macro shots and the wide aperture results in a soft image. At the same time, the aperture of F1.7 also means that you have to be extra cautious while clicking the images. But it is one of the best we have seen in a phone. The big aperture helps the S7 Edge click photos that have very good bokeh (blurred background). The F1.7 aperture also helps in a big way here, although just like the aperture in other cameras, including DSLRs, it is a double edged sword. Although it also has a downside, something we will talk about it in a while.Īlong with the great performance in low light, the S7 Edge also works very well when used to click macro shots because it captures so much more details. It also aggressively eliminates noise, which greatly helps in low light. Even in light where many of the other phones will click nothing but just garbled pixels, the S7 Edge captures a photo that shows subject. It captures tremendous amount of detail (see the Kingfisher bottle) and enough light to make the photos show something that you can call a picture. In the low light, the wide F1.7 lens of the S7 Edge shines bright. But it does match an entry-level or mid-level point-and-shoot camera. No, it won't replace a DSLR camera for you or won't match a high-end compact camera like the RX 100. The aperture control, if possible, would have been particularly great on the S7 Edge because its wide aperture of F1.7 does need some moderation, especially in macro shots where the sharpness sometimes suffers due to the wide lens opening.Īlso Read: Samsung Galaxy S7 quick review: Looks like Galaxy S6 but big changes insideĪs we noted earlier, the performance of the Galaxy S7 Edge camera - and by that account the S7 camera because both are same - is great! As you will see in the image samples posted in this article (for higher resolution versions click links) the S7 Edge camera captures fabulous photos in almost all shooting conditions. This is the kind of limitation that stops smartphones from reaching into the pure photography realm. However, even though it is nice to set your own ISO and shutter speed, we feel it is not of much use because the aperture is fixed. This mode gives a more granular control on how you click your photos. Of particular note in terms of features is the Pro mode. Although, it also offers a number of unique features and filters. The camera app is one of the easiest and simple to use. Although all these settings can be changed in the camera app. At the maximum resolution, images are recorded in 4:3 aspect ratio. The camera in this phone supports Touch Focus, Face and Smile Detection, Panorama, HDR and Geo Tagging.
