It is one of the most anticipated smartphones of 2016. The Galaxy S7 , the last descendant of the now famous family of Android phones to Samsung , aims to become the new benchmark market, not so much in terms of aesthetics (the design is virtually identical to that of the Galaxy S6) but rather a functional level.
during the presentation, Samsung wanted to especially emphasize the improvements on the main camera , the magazine is in the heart (the sensor) that the functional part (the software). The upgrade – said the staff of the Korean company – is based on the graft of a new sensor technology with dual-pixel that – we quote verbatim – ensures “always clear pictures and full of life even in low light situations “.
But is it really so? To understand more, we conducted a photo full blown test: the device in hand, we took burst under all possible conditions. The result judge for yourselves from the pictures we posted below.

fewer pixels, more brightness
start by saying that the main camera of the Galaxy S7 is based on a new sensor 12 megapixel . On balance, the new bearer of the Korean company is left with less than a 4-megapixel unit with 16 megapixels of S6. The reason for this decision one can easily imagine: aiming to improve the quality in low light conditions, Samsung has preferred not to exceed with the pixels (with the same sensor size the sound generally tends to worsen all ‘to increase the points), looking for some sort of compromise. Also in this context should be given the decision to increase the aperture (now raised to f 1.7) and use a new brighter optical park.
But back to the resolution, for a moment. The maniacs of the wild crop are already wondering if the downgrade is reflected in some way on the definition. A panorama shot helps us to dispel any doubt.
The camera of the Galaxy S7, this is the first verdict, remains at levels of sharpness very high (taking We realize that we are still talking about a phone).
The confirmation comes from the comparison with the Galaxy S6 : loss of resolution can be seen only on the details (railings of the balcony railing for example); everything else – including side dishes – do not seem to be affected by the “cut” on the pixels. Samsung, it is clear, has managed to bridge the resolution gap by working on the quality of the sensor (the largest) and optimization software.
macro on a shell (the goal is here to 10 centimeters away from the subject) only reinforces our first impression.
in the twilight ( or the dark) is still at ease
But let’s cut to the chase. Ie: how he copes Samsung Galaxy S7 when the going gets tough, that is, in conditions of low light ? The morning starts in the evening, in our case from night snapshot of Barcelona from above.
An enlargement on the road allows us to understand that:
– The Noise is quite content
– The Galaxy S7 is able to maintain a level of details enviable (written BUS on the asphalt should be read clearly enough)
the confirmation of the quality of “night” of the Galaxy S7 comes to us from the indoor test. Two shots, the first to ISO 800 , the second to IS0 1250 testify to the excellent ability of the sensor to take the light even if there is not.
ISO 1250
it is especially from the second shot (made of semi-darkness) come the most interesting directions. Compared all’S6, the new Samsung Galaxy S7 has a low noise level , but mostly eliminates the unpleasant tendency to yellow, perhaps the most obvious flaw of the previous generation Galaxy.
The comparison with other top of the range only confirms impressions. The difference with the ‘ iPhone 6S – both in terms of brightness that noise – it’s pretty obvious.
Even the challenge with Lg , probably the company that until now has been working on the concept of best cameraphone, Samsung looks pretty good: shooting bore S7 pays duty on the definition but not in terms of brightness.
to exasperate the concept, we try to capture a globe in the same low light.
the good news is that despite the light is at a minimum, the names of the States can be almost readable.
Here, again, a comparison with the ‘ iPhone 6S magnification.
And the one with the’ LG V10 .
A very reliable fire
final note concerns the graft technology dual pixels which we mentioned in the beginning. Borrowing a technique already widely used in professional photography, Samsung used a focusing technique that basically uses the phase detection of each pixel. The result, to put it without too many technicalities is a making instant fire , both in the shots in the videos.
The below clip makes us understand so very clear how the S7 in reacting to the movement of your subject, but also his ability to make “tracking” , or to track the subject while keeping it in focus.
