Okay so camera comparison time here between the Samsung Galaxy s7 with its
rear 12 megapixel camera and the xiaomi redmi note 5 with another 12 megapixel
camera now both of these phones have phase detection dual pixel face
detection autofocus which works really quick very similar sensors because they
have the same pixel size of 1.4 micrometers so in this review here i'm
going to compare the rear cameras side-by-side I was crop in to 200% crop
also compare the camera quality so taking videos that will be 1080p video
and 4k video now natively the camera app on the Xiaomi does not support 4k video
yet so I had to use open camera for that with electronic image stabilization
enabled and then of course the front-facing cameras as well I'll
compare them now let's look at video on the front-facing cameras here so we got
a 5 megapixel sensor on the Samsung 13 on the Xiaomi and I've noticed that the
Xiaomi tends to overexpose a lot with video in this bright sunlight of course
at the moment and I've set the Samsung to 1080p so it's fair even though it can
do 1440p video on the front-facing camera here you see both of them I mean
the quality is decent it's just that overexposing
that tends to happen quite a bit on the show me so they have a little bit
optimization to do I feel and you can see here even when I'm in the shade now
that the Samsung is capturing this a little bit better I feel so this time
around we're indoors low-light 1080p front-facing cameras so which one do you
think is doing the better job here well I can clearly see that it tends to be a
lot more grain and noise on the written note 5 here so this is now in 1080p
video so both of these cameras have the same dual pixel autofocus and I do have
stabilization enabled on both of them so it's electronic image stabilization on
the redmi note 5 and then optical and electronic on the samsung take a look at
the focus here
you'll see that the chamois tends to really over saturate these flowers the
focus is working on both of them about the same which is really good because
they both got of course that quick focus you see my hand here so very fast on
both of them there walk along again and you can see the stabilization and I find
that the Samsung is also capturing these shadows a lot better see how much
brighter that is so in order to shoot in 4k on the show-me I've used open camera
so that's a third-party camera app because the stock app does not let you
shoot in 4k for some reason at least not yet I think they have to add that and
hopefully they will so I do have the electronic image stabilization enables
with open camera and you can see it's doing a really good job of taking shapes
out of the footage making it very smooth and steady which is great and the focus
should be just as good as the Samsung because they're using very similar
technology in fact it's the same tech that they're using now you will hear
that these sounds the audio I feel is differently a lot better on the Samsung
because it has that higher bitrate
I'm just going to walk towards council building right here and you can see just
how stable that electronic image stabilization is versus the optical
image stabilization
sorry overall I feel the Xiaomi is doing quite good here in the 4k test
considering that this is about a 229 or 220 US mobile phone versus a 2 year old
flagship
it's in our 4k video indoors low-light I can see a lot of noise on the RHIB me
note 5 here so the clear winner to me in this kind of situation is clearly the
Samsung Galaxy s7
okay guys so what do I think about the end result there I think the Xiaomi did
really well the redmi note 5 they're considering that it's not a flagship
phone this is a budget mobile phone but because of the dual pixel phase
detection autofocus on there that it's just as fast as my samsung galaxy s7 as
you saw there now the video quality I would say that in 1080p they're they're
looking similar but I give the winner would definitely be the Samsung Galaxy
s7 there because it has a higher bitrate the audio quality as well as one big
factor there that it just sounds a lot better on the Samsung because there is a
big difference in the audio bitrate it's almost double on the Samsung that they
use now 4k video with the electronic image stabilization enabled on the
xiaomi it did drop a few frames but it was very smooth and steady and not bad
at all considering that it doesn't have any optical image stabilization there
but the winner is i feel again the samsung now in terms of photo quality
daylight it's very close until you zoom in with a hundred 200s in crop and even
then it's still quite close isn't it so really good results here from the show
me that really does impress me again considering the price of it so low light
low light the Samsung's going to win it did win there because it has the optical
image stabilization it can hold the shadow rate a lot longer and it also
lets in more light whether it's if 1.7 aperture instead of the F 1.9 that you
have on the Xiaomi so it's just slightly wider and that's why the results there
are a little bit bitter but I feel the show-me does okay when you have a look
at them side by side some of those photos that you thinking hey that's
actually not too bad at all considering so really impressive with the focus on
both of them and finally shell me has fixed the focus hunting issues that have
played literally all of their phones mid-range high range top of the end
top-of-the-line ones from them and even their budget phones have all had that
problem even the Xiaomi me mix the mimics to had
those problems and finally it's fixed with that dual pixel face station
autofocus which is great to see now the front-facing cameras I feel they show me
over expose my face didn't it if you have a look at some of the shots there
my face is just too white it tends to overexpose quite a bit the photos are
far too bright and I did disable that beautifying feature turned it off
that can sometimes brighten up your face as well don't know why it does that it's
part of how it works and I feel you and the other Samsung one so overall it did
do really well the budget phone against the flagship but it still won't take
that crown because it still has a really good camera I feel the sense on galaxy
s7 even though it's 2 years old now thanks a lot for watching this
comparison here now if you'd love to win one of these the not the Samsung Galaxy
s7 but the redmi note 5 then chicka check out the link down there in the
description of this video you can go on the draw to win one of them and that'll
be drawn in approximately two weeks time now and thank you so much for watching
this comparison here I hope you liked it if you did please give a thumbs up there
and also think about subscribing and I hope to see you back with my full review
of Charlie's redmi note 5 bye for now
