Today I’m going to do a camera test on the Galaxy S7 Edge and the iPhone 6s Plus.
These were the most requested phones that I did on my Twitter poll.
If you don’t follow me on Twitter head over to @ZacksJerryRig and you can vote in the
next one.
Both of the phones are stabilized on this little rig so it will hold them equally as
I go around filming stuff.
Let’s get going.
Something interesting to note is that the Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 Edge have the
exact same cameras.
But the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus do not.
The big difference between the 6s and the 6s Plus is that the 6s Plus has OIS image
stabilizing.
So as I shake the image back and forth it’s going to compensate for the image physically
as well as electronically.
It has dual layers of stabilization, where the iPhone 6s only has electronic or digital
stabilization.
So we’re still filming in 4K right now.
We’ll test a little bit out with the sun flare.
One thing that I really like about shooting in 4K is the ability you have to zoom in on
things.
Check out the moon at 800 percent.
So you might be wondering why these two different windows are different sizes.
The iPhone 6s Plus front facing camera only films in 720p.
The Galaxy S7 Edge camera films in quad HD which is 4 times the resolution of your standard
HD.
That’s why the windows are different sizes.
The Galaxy S7 is literally that much bigger.
So all of the resolutions are proportional.
So as you watch this video pay close attention to the quality of each camera cuz I need you
to tell me down in the comments below which camera does better: the Galaxy S7 Edge or
the iPhone 6s Plus.
As far as I know neither of these cameras have stabilization on the front facing camera.
They’re not like the Lumia 950XL or the HTC 10 which both have stabilization on the
front facing cameras, which is pretty nice.
One thing I’ve noticed with the Galaxy S7 is that building behind me is completely washed
out on the front facing camera, but with the iPhone 6s Plus you can still see the building
a little bit better.
That’s interesting.
The front facing camera of the Galaxy S7 has more in the picture though.
I’m holding the phone at an arm’s length away and you can see a lot more behind me
with the Galaxy S7 than you can with the iPhone 6s Plus.
That’s interesting.
You know those YouTube Vloggers that just walk around all day talking to themselves
on camera?
I look like one of those fruitcakes.
Except for…I have a lot more cameras.
So we’re still filming in 4K.
Check out the definition of the grass, and then we’ll auto focus on my hand…back
to the grass.
Filming in 1080p.
The stabilization should be a little bit better because now both phones have OIS and the EIS
is working at full capacity at 1080p.
So check the image stabilization and the overall quality.
I’m going to run for a second.
Still filming in 1080p.
The Galaxy S7 technically has a slightly larger sensor size and usually that coincides with
slightly better image quality.
We’ll have to see.
These are smart phone cameras so the sensor is going to be pretty small anyway.
So now we’re going to film in slow motion.
The iPhone 6s Plus and the Galaxy S7 both film in 240 frames a second at 720p.
So the slow motion test should be pretty equal since both the frame rates are the same.
So this sunset shot will be the perfect segue into our low light shots.
All the settings are still on automatic and we’re still filming in 4K resolution.
So it’s completely dark outside.
Both phones are shooting in 4K on automatic settings.
We’re testing out the lowlight capabilities of the cell phones.
So both phones are still on auto.
There’s a street lamp up there, the building in the background, and then we’re going
to come down here on my truck.
You can see the front bumper and my light bar up on top.
So now I need your help deciding which phone wins, the Galaxy S7 Edge or the iPhone 6s
Plus.
Which phone was better?
Let me know down in the comments.
You can also respond to this poll question up in the corner.
After that and you still want to see more camera tests, I have the Galaxy S7 vs. the
HTC 10, the iPhone SE vs. the Nexus 5s, the Nexus 6p vs. the Galaxy S7, and the Lumia
950XL vs. the Galaxy S7.
Together we can find out which is the best smart phone camera in the world.
Thanks a ton for watching.
