2:24 (LG G5) wtf is this shit? i can clearly see that the background is in the focus and not the person.. so how is that the cameras fault??? you guys just failed to fucking manualy put the persons face in the focus!!
Thomas Lupson-Darnell honestly most people, me included, want to use their phone in an instant, as a point-and-shoot. If I want to manually set up my camera every time I'll use my Canon because I will get much better results there.
I suspect that the landscape shot should've won by the XZ since it has the highest resolution out of these smartphones, maybe even more than the DSLR has. I wonder what resolution is it on. The oversharpening maybe is because it is only at 8mp resolution and not the full 23mp because every landscape shot produced by the XZ are always the most detailed out of all smartphone cameras in the world. In low light, while the Pixel, iPhone 7, and S7 Edge are the best performers, head over to Manual Mode and use High Sensitivity Scene Mode, and the XZ will blow everything away
Shawn Mendes I agree with you for the most part, but why should they choose high sensitivity in manual mode when they're comparing these phones in auto mode?
Alvin Zahran Majid Cause it's just a matter of choosing the scene mode, and that doesn't even take a minute to do, not even 30 seconds, or even 15. Just set all the settings to Auto in Manual Mode but choose it in High Sensitivity and that's where Sony processes best low light photos
Shawn Mendes thats a lie, i had the xperia 2 and it sucked ass, also megapixels arent the issue. A 1080 p camera with 20 megapixels can be worst then a 1080p 8 megapixel. Resolution goes by 1080p UHD/4K etc. from my understanding the megapixels are how far it can zoom in on something (what they told me) the xperia z2 had a 23 megapixel camera but my iphone 5s had a lower count and took better photos.
Shawn Mendes the z2 didnt kick ass, and the Z5 has the largest angle shots but nothing to the s7 or iphone 7. And to ths 6s ans s7 okay. But the z5 would over sharpen thr photo and leave a lot of noise in. Plus when put at a 9:16 it would drop to 12 megapixel. I havent used that phone but if its anything like the 2. softwear will most likely be ass
HTC 10's lenses are non-oleophobic sapphire glass which requires cleaning/wiping after immediate touch. Those tests doesn't justify its camera capabilities. Don't destroy its image to the average consumer.
Thanks ....Is that why the shots they took with the HTC 10 look so bad ... I've got one and I never got pictures as bad as they were able to get ... interesting ...
I have seen many comparisons on youtube untill I bought iphone 7 plus and galaxy s7. From my real experience in daily life, s7 camera is much better than iphone 7 plus. so when I want to take photos, I will pick up s7 instead of ip 7 plus.
Same here. My girlfriends' iPhone 7 Plus performed worse than her 6S Plus (7 Plus has bad battery life, camera not worth it, rest is the same or downgraded) so she returned it. The 7 Plus constantly blows out highlights in automatic mode. The Galaxy S7 also blows out highlights on automatic mode. I do not know why both companies made such a weird decision. I own an galaxy S7 Edge and only on Android Nougat Samsung has integrated the camera quality of the discontinued Note 7 (this phone truly was the best). With that, it is perfect.
Still on the 6S+ and I'm very satisfied with the picture quality. I guess it could've been a bit sharper when zooming in, but it's not bad as it is. Google Pixel looks very good as well as the iPhone 7+ though!
When the iphone 7 plus uses both sensors it creates an image closer to what our eyes see because of our two eyeballs. But it would have flopped in low light situations and even though I love the iphone 7 I can safely say that it was not the best. Every phone has its special camera feature so no one can really put a crown on a single phone.
The issue with the Samsung is that you have to clean the lens. I do not why all your pictures taken with the S7 are so terrible. I take nightshots all the time, perfectly pin-point sharp and properly exposed. Only time my S7 Edge fails is when my camera lens has gotten oily from my hands.
I don't really take a lot of photos on my phone, but I can say that Google, Apple, and Samsung didn't do too bad in this camera test. However, LG, HTC, and Sony definitely struggled to have good photos especially in low light.
Nope the iphone 7 plus (that has two cameras, not this one with only one) is wayyyyyyy better than both the pixel and s7!! Don't believe me? Just watch a fucking comparison between iphone 7 plus and google pixel!
CodingTuts Please stop fanboying,it gets annoying.The iphone 7 and 7 plus have an excellent camera,as good as the pixel's one.You can't say a phone has a better camera to the other,because it comes to personal preference.
DSLR should blow them away with macro lens for that close up (as you said). However, the use cases are very different. Traveling around with a phone in your pocket vs lugging a DSLR and bag of lenses really changes the experience. They both have their places. I enjoyed your video.
What resoluton did you use on the XZ? From my experience, the 20 and 24mpixel (AUTO) photos come much worse in term of dynamic range and even detail than the 8mp (4:3) one.
I'm still using LG G4 and it takes great pictures. Sometimes it's a bit washed out but manual settings and some editing would help. Pretty disappointed with G5 in this video. I think LG should improve their auto mode since it can take good pictures on manual mode.
Interesting ...I'll give it to you that the HTC 10 doesn't focus has fast as the s7( not close ) but I usually get really good shots with my HTC 10...I'm wondering what you did? or if your phone has a problem ?
hi guys i always appreciate your videos but i have only one reqyest can u focus a little on the mate 9 and why didnt u add it to your tests (speed , battery , camera)
***** overexposed? Its oversharped but not overexposed. it actually has the most accurate color reproduction (according to the reviewers) the xz handels very good with light and is sharp, the downside is the detail and low light performance but it is NEVER worse than htc 10 camera. That is a HUGE insult for sony
Purple Alpha The downside of the XZ is not detail or low light performance, but the software it uses. It's very inconsistent, but if we base the phones on their camera specs, the XZ easily has the best camera out of any smartphone today. That Triple Image Sensing technology is unstoppable which none of the 12mp shooters can compete nor 16mp ones, but the software it rests on is just not good. You have to go to full Manual to get your desired results. Though when you do, you'll great incredible shots that only DSLRs could really match
Guys, look at the photos of lg g5 more closely. It has more detales. Look at the my top: 1. Google pixel 2. Iphone 7 3. Lg g5 4. Samsung g. S7 5. Htc 10 6. Sony xperia xz
You used 8mp for the XZ to make it look rubbish. In landscape shot, the XZ will always be the best here since it has the highest resolution, and real life results proves this to be true
Lol, you are right about not being able to figure out if the iphone 7 or galaxy s7 wins second place. It's so hard to determine the difference in these pictures.
Not that I'm talking about TechRadar in particular, but I give up. It seems that I'll never see these comparison using manual mode and exploring and pushing what each device is capable of.
You're right, but if you count them from the bottom to the top :) the g5 is the worst and the iphone 7 plus (with 2 cameras) is the best, but they're retarded and are comparing with the one that has only 1 camera...
in the first image where you said the HTC 10 failed I thought it took the clearest most realistic photo of the guy. Yes the light in the background may have drowned out the photo but what do you expect with a camera with large pixels (more light) this can easily be adjusted by a slide of the finger on the screen when taking the shot. Due to the HTC 10 having larger pixels it will prove more capable than most in more scenarios etc, but may require slight adjustments of the lighting when there is bright lights in the background. All the other cameras may not have the bright background light but their images also look unrealistic and pixelated. the Sony, and iPhone are probably the next best ones in this photo.
Review sites like this will always praise whom ever is providing the cash flow. It's the same reason when you go into a Verizon, Sprint, BestBuy, etc that the first phones they through in your race is either a Samsung or iPhone, because they are compensated for it. Now the google pixel (though worth the praise) is also among these.
Thanks a lot for this test, its very helpful! Im just looking for a smartphone with really good camera. Could you do this same with a new HTC U11, Samsung Galaxy S8, LG G6 and Huawei P10? :)
Bob Jones It won't even beat any of these phones. These are the top tier flagship phones of 2016. What makes the OP3 special? Performance? Yeah great, but camera? No way. Every single phone in the test would instantly beat that device, which is the reason for the low price
Damix brak Not true. Higher megapixel means worse low light photos, and the HTC 10 would obviously have better camera, but still makes me wonder why it's worse than the Pixel which basically has the same camera configuration with even some parts better on it
Shawn Mendes Maybe, Oneplus 3 is handling noise reduction pretty well without losing to much detail like in Sony Smartphones. And Oneplus 3t don't have problems with an or this strange flare on lens.
Eric Ho Somewhat true but based on my experience, the XZ on 20mp Auto has better details than the S7 Edge on 12mp Auto. I could only imagine how the XZ will beat the S7 Edge in Manual (with all the settings left in Auto)
SASI KUMARR XZ is not in the last. The G5 and HTC 10 struggled against the XZ in that jumping motion and that portrait picture of the person. The landscape shot of the XZ here wasn't on full resolution, hence the software oversharpens the image so much to preserve the loss of detail. If only it was at the full 20mp resolution, the XZ would even blow the Pixel away in terms of sharpness. A lot of landscape shots taken with the XZ always looks the best, but it wasn't fair here since TechRadar didn't really confirm the resolution on the XZ. In low light, while the XZ is not the best performer, I do believe it will do a much better overall job when it's in Manual Mode with settings all in Auto Mode. The Pixel is only great because of its quick HDR+ post-processing speed. It takes HDR photos quickly like it only takes a low resolution image. While images do turn out good, colors aren't that accurate at least for me. I don't believe that it was that orange in that landscape one. The most accurate is obviouslu the XZ because of the help of RGBC-IR sensor. Although packing good amount of detail, it's not enough to beat the two higher resolution cameras in the competition; the G5 and XZ. S7 produces the most consistent images out of all I must say. It's not always the best at every scenario, but it never went the worst either, making it a balance in between good and poor. I must say that as a Sony fan, the S7 really impressed me with the camera IPhone 7 isn't really interesting to me. Yes it takes great pictures like the S7 Edge but often I do see it oversaturate colors too much, even more aggressive than the Pixel does. I don't like those kind of photos because not everybody takes photos and upload them on the internet. I must say that it's just as good as the S7 if it wasn't for the oversaturation HTC still has a lot of improvements to do next year with their cameras. I mean at least with specs, it should be as good as the Pixel, maybe even more because of the brighter aperture and presence of OIS. Now what happened? It easily loses to these flagships that are supposed to be defeated by this phone given the hardware, which puts HTC into shame with their camera. I'm not saying it's bad. In fact this is actually the first flagship HTC phone I considered trying, but the camera, while a huge improvement over the past years, is still not competitive enough to be desired by the majority over the major flagship brands like Samsung and Apple. The fact that HTC is known to be the company who built the Pixel phones, which have the best cameras in a smartphone, just puts HTC's reputation into shame. I really hope HTC finally gets everything right, then I might consider their flagships. 2017 would be an interesting year for smartphone evolution. I hope it won't disappoint us like this year did
Shawn Mendes from my experience the s7 over saturates them not the iphone. I had the s7 before i switched to the iphone 7 (before the s7 i had the 6) iv always seen galaxys over saturate the photos while the iphone is more true to life. The google pixel i might add is slightly better. But all the photos after editing them look amazing. The sont phone would be left behind though
SASI KUMARR I disagree a little with your assessment. The iPhone 7 is not as good as the s7 imo. I've seen blind tests and even dxomark (objective benchmark for cameras) all say that the s7 is better with photos. HTC 10 didn't look good here, while Sony and LG had their moments. 1. Pixel 2. S7 3. IPhone 7 4. LG G5 5. Sony XZ 6. HTC 10
for low light the htc was best. Best noise reduction if u check shadows and it was better exposed with preserved details because it and the iPhone are the only phones with the fence not blurred out but the 10 was better so it gets the win.
the Google pixel is hand down the best the HDR+ kills the picture every time but am i have been using the GS7 for something time now and i have no regrets
daniel zolfaghari Wth you're in Auto Mode and you'd still have to tap to focus? Auto Mode is made for point and shoot situations where there's no time for adjusting the settings, so the sensor should do its own job
Shawn Mendes you're kidding right???? auto mode means the camera adjusts the iso and aperture and shutter speed automatically but in most shots lighting is not the same in all parts so you have to tap the focus to tell the camera to adjust the exposure according to that, same in DSLRs
daniel zolfaghari Auto Mode adjusts everything according to the scenario. Exposure and focus point are included. These are flagship phones so taking a picture without adjusting anything is their job
I was not impressed by the Google pixel camera. Has Google paid you'll or something? S7 is far ahead of iPhone 7 and Google Pixel and I have done a comparison.
Are you fucking kidding me?! Is this the only review you've watched. I can guarantee you that if you watch a comparison between the google pixel and the iphone 7 plus, they all say that the iphone 7 plus has better zoom, and it's the king in video, because of it's optical image stabilization unlike the google pixel's digital image stabilization! So overall the camera is better, because it also takes images quicker!
CodingTuts it does not do anything what you actually mentioned,the 7's camera is as good as the 7+'s is.It just can some more,that's the only think it can do.
i think in this comparision lg v20 should be used in lieu of lg g5...overall good comparision but in action shot the action was different in lg g5 that is why it looks blurry...sony xz really impressed me but s7 edge is stil king in my openion...pixel also performs great job colours are great in pixel....
i own LG g5 and i think it does better as shown, the phone has 2 cameras. to be fair it would be better to take a pic from each camera and do the comparison.
nope, not at all ... in fact i m using s7 edge for me.. but i have seen xz and it is a great camera phone.... what is true is true forever.. never mind i didnt tell this to hurt anyone..
The Prophet that's a personal preference. I've used my share of android devices (Samsung htc lg) and I've liked their cameras too. I just have an iPhone now. Had I had the galaxy s7 or whatever I'd say the same thing as I commented
The Prophet i had the s7, it was only good on pro mode and even then you have to edit photos. The iphone takes better photos, just is you have the s7 and use pro mode then you'll get s better shot then the iphone, but after you touch up the ohotos with snapseed the s7 and iphone 7 will both be amazing. Trust me iv had both. Mt daily is the 7 now tho
i just won an Apple iPhone 7 from a company annual dinner lucky draw.. lol.. 128GB and planning on selling it.. cause.. i'm kind of an Android guy.. despite i use both. Xperia Z2 and iPhone 6S at the moment. since my Xperia Z2 if going to give away soon, (the back cover is off, the battery starts to swell) i'm selling it as a spare part. Now, i'm still in confuse mode either to keep the iPhone 7, or sell it and get either Google Pixel, Galaxy S7 Edge, or Xperia XZ.
D800E is one the more expensive DSLRs out there(it was >$3000 when it was launched) so the comparison is kinda unfair... you should have chosen a cheaper DSLR for a fairier comparison, something within the price of the most expensive phone you have tested...
i think that they should use phones like s7 edge not s7 . iphone 7 plus not iphone7 . google pixel xl not google pixel and 2 to 3 DSLRs and other are looool.
Sony for me... when they took a picture of the man when he jump..Sony takes it alot better..with its new auto focus...but other. I'll choose google pixel..but in video.. I'll choose the iphone 7...google pixel sucks at recording video
I think iPhone 7 camera has close to reality with no saturation but Samsung s7 and Lg G5 has slightly saturated images so I prefer iPhone 7 which is almost close to reality
2:24 (LG G5) wtf is this shit? i can clearly see that the background is in the focus and not the person.. so how is that the cameras fault???
you guys just failed to fucking manualy put the persons face in the focus!!
Kris W 69 they all used auto mode...
Pixel gonna spank that Apple ass.
Wow the camera on the Google Pixel is amazing!!!! Might be a new phone upgrade for me
shame they dont actually go out of auto. i get great shots with my g5 just because i know how to use it
Thomas Lupson-Darnell Same for me; wouldn't trade my G5 if they gave me the others for free...
as i ust wrote my comeent before, g5 has second best or best camere this year trading blows with google pixel
Thomas Lupson-Darnell honestly most people, me included, want to use their phone in an instant, as a point-and-shoot. If I want to manually set up my camera every time I'll use my Canon because I will get much better results there.

I have no idea what you just said.
lol
Tilton Anderson pixel,Sony8mpixel!!.s7.lg.htc
Still on the 6S+ and I'm very satisfied with the picture quality. I guess it could've been a bit sharper when zooming in, but it's not bad as it is. Google Pixel looks very good as well as the iPhone 7+ though!
But they're comparing the iphone 7 with one camera, not the plus with two. If it was the iphone 7 plus it would've destroyed every phone!!
CodingTuts for fuck's sake,no.
FFS yes!!
CodingTuts You are starting to piss me off,you have been replying in a rude way to every comment that does not support the I7.

Why choose "16:9" on Xperia XZ?🤔
in IMX300(XZ's sensor),"4:3" can use more pixel(=large area)
I don't really take a lot of photos on my phone, but I can say that Google, Apple, and Samsung didn't do too bad in this camera test. However, LG, HTC, and Sony definitely struggled to have good photos especially in low light.

what printer do you use?
Where's the LG V20 or the iPhone 7 Plus? It would have been far more interesting if you had included the in this comparison.
Vikingdescendent G5 is basically the same as the v20 and the iPhone 7 plus is the same as the 7 except for the zoom
Not really. As with a good camera, manual exposure and control, makes all the difference. Not sure if the G5 has manual exposure.
Vikingdescendent Did you watch the video?? They literally just compared how the phone takes pictures in auto mode.
Vikingdescendent where's the Pixel XL and the s7 edge?Your point does not make any sense whatsoever.
MartialArt wut. the iPhone plus has 2 cameras. the v20 is newer than the g5. both the phones you said have identical cameras to their siblins
wow i'm an iPhone 6s user, and i have to say that google pixel is totally mind blowing!
I can't get a clear jumping shot on my iPhone 7 plus reasons why?
Guys, look at the photos of lg g5 more closely. It has more detales.
Look at the my top:
1. Google pixel
2. Iphone 7
3. Lg g5
4. Samsung g. S7
5. Htc 10

You used 8mp for the XZ to make it look rubbish. In landscape shot, the XZ will always be the best here since it has the highest resolution, and real life results proves this to be true
A higher resolution doesn't mean better pictures. You're just flat out wrong. The XZ takes awful photos, at least in auto.
In my opinion:
1st: Google pixel.
2nd: Galaxy s7/iPhone 7.
3rd: HTC 10.
4th: Sony Xperia XZ.
5th: LG g5.
Lol, you are right about not being able to figure out if the iphone 7 or galaxy s7 wins second place. It's so hard to determine the difference in these pictures.

You're right, but if you count them from the bottom to the top :) the g5 is the worst and the iphone 7 plus (with 2 cameras) is the best, but they're retarded and are comparing with the one that has only 1 camera...
the lg has 2 cameras too idiot. the lg pics are better at wide angle. but the iphone 7+ has a better zoom. i own both phones.
where is Moto z? why not lg v20 instead of g5?
Hello guys , awesome job ! Can you make a smartphone sound test video? It's important too ...
Lg g5 boot loop ?
"I don't have a neckbeard; see I sliced the hair across my neck off with one swipe of the razor to make it easier to slit my throat."
in the first image where you said the HTC 10 failed I thought it took the clearest most realistic photo of the guy. Yes the light in the background may have drowned out the photo but what do you expect with a camera with large pixels (more light) this can easily be adjusted by a slide of the finger on the screen when taking the shot.

All the other cameras may not have the bright background light but their images also look unrealistic and pixelated. the Sony, and iPhone are probably the next best ones in this photo.
Sony xz is the best
Why not to give the audience a link with the originanl photos ???
Review sites like this will always praise whom ever is providing the cash flow. It's the same reason when you go into a Verizon, Sprint, BestBuy, etc that the first phones they through in your race is either a Samsung or iPhone, because they are compensated for it.

Thanks a lot for this test, its very helpful! Im just looking for a smartphone with really good camera. Could you do this same with a new HTC U11, Samsung Galaxy S8, LG G6 and Huawei P10? :)
Currently using the LG G4. We all know how good the camera is. Best I've ever owned on a smartphone to date.
Ok, in brief htc 10 or xperia xz ?
thank you guys
Why didn't u guy's add Mate9
so.. no mate 9?
the s7 is definitely an all rounder cameraphone👌
I have a Oneplus 3, but it's anoying when its not in these reveiws. Common, it's probably one of the most of any of these phones let's see it!!
Bob Jones It won't even beat any of these phones. These are the top tier flagship phones of 2016. What makes the OP3 special? Performance? Yeah great, but camera? No way. Every single phone in the test would instantly beat that device, which is the reason for the low price
Shawn Mendes it wouldn't be worse than HTC 10 from what I saw.
Damix brak Not true. Higher megapixel means worse low light photos, and the HTC 10 would obviously have better camera, but still makes me wonder why it's worse than the Pixel which basically has the same camera configuration with even some parts better on it
Shawn Mendes Maybe, Oneplus 3 is handling noise reduction pretty well without losing to much detail like in Sony Smartphones. And Oneplus 3t don't have problems with an or this strange flare on lens.
I just can't wait to see how the S8 will perform when it arrives in few months :)
Xperia xz only show the best pictures when you shoot in manual mode
Eric Ho Somewhat true but based on my experience, the XZ on 20mp Auto has better details than the S7 Edge on 12mp Auto. I could only imagine how the XZ will beat the S7 Edge in Manual (with all the settings left in Auto)
Samsung Galaxy S7 👍
Google Pixel 👍
iPhone 7 👎

SASI KUMARR XZ is not in the last. The G5 and HTC 10 struggled against the XZ in that jumping motion and that portrait picture of the person. The landscape shot of the XZ here wasn't on full resolution, hence the software oversharpens the image so much to preserve the loss of detail. If only it was at the full 20mp resolution, the XZ would even blow the Pixel away in terms of sharpness. A lot of landscape shots taken with the XZ always looks the best, but it wasn't fair here since TechRadar didn't really confirm the resolution on the XZ. In low light, while the XZ is not the best performer, I do believe it will do a much better overall job when it's in Manual Mode with settings all in Auto Mode.
The Pixel is only great because of its quick HDR+ post-processing speed. It takes HDR photos quickly like it only takes a low resolution image. While images do turn out good, colors aren't that accurate at least for me. I don't believe that it was that orange in that landscape one. The most accurate is obviouslu the XZ because of the help of RGBC-IR sensor. Although packing good amount of detail, it's not enough to beat the two higher resolution cameras in the competition; the G5 and XZ.
S7 produces the most consistent images out of all I must say. It's not always the best at every scenario, but it never went the worst either, making it a balance in between good and poor. I must say that as a Sony fan, the S7 really impressed me with the camera
IPhone 7 isn't really interesting to me. Yes it takes great pictures like the S7 Edge but often I do see it oversaturate colors too much, even more aggressive than the Pixel does. I don't like those kind of photos because not everybody takes photos and upload them on the internet. I must say that it's just as good as the S7 if it wasn't for the oversaturation
HTC still has a lot of improvements to do next year with their cameras. I mean at least with specs, it should be as good as the Pixel, maybe even more because of the brighter aperture and presence of OIS. Now what happened? It easily loses to these flagships that are supposed to be defeated by this phone given the hardware, which puts HTC into shame with their camera. I'm not saying it's bad. In fact this is actually the first flagship HTC phone I considered trying, but the camera, while a huge improvement over the past years, is still not competitive enough to be desired by the majority over the major flagship brands like Samsung and Apple. The fact that HTC is known to be the company who built the Pixel phones, which have the best cameras in a smartphone, just puts HTC's reputation into shame. I really hope HTC finally gets everything right, then I might consider their flagships.
2017 would be an interesting year for smartphone evolution. I hope it won't disappoint us like this year did
Shawn Mendes from my experience the s7 over saturates them not the iphone. I had the s7 before i switched to the iphone 7 (before the s7 i had the 6) iv always seen galaxys over saturate the photos while the iphone is more true to life. The google pixel i might add is slightly better. But all the photos after editing them look amazing. The sont phone would be left behind though
SASI KUMARR
I disagree a little with your assessment. The iPhone 7 is not as good as the s7 imo. I've seen blind tests and even dxomark (objective benchmark for cameras) all say that the s7 is better with photos. HTC 10 didn't look good here, while Sony and LG had their moments.
1. Pixel
2. S7
3. IPhone 7
4. LG G5
5. Sony XZ
6. HTC 10
ip7 is at 3 s7 is the no2
I'll be happy going out with my Galaxy S7 on pro mode and enjoy everyone else struggle😅😅😅
and lg v20?
for low light the htc was best. Best noise reduction if u check shadows and it was better exposed with preserved details because it and the iPhone are the only phones with the fence not blurred out but the 10 was better so it gets the win.
the Google pixel is hand down the best the HDR+ kills the picture every time but am i have been using the GS7 for something time now and i have no regrets
wow. thanks! a lot of information.
Google Pixel looks good, but DSLR still reigns supreme.
How about the front camera?
Oh wait,
XZ = 13mp front camera......
can you at least publish the oneplus 3t results in those 3 tests?
José Da Franca Taborda amen, brother
one of the worst test I've seen in TH-cam , you know that you have to actually tap the focus on the subject in auto mode no?
daniel zolfaghari Wth you're in Auto Mode and you'd still have to tap to focus? Auto Mode is made for point and shoot situations where there's no time for adjusting the settings, so the sensor should do its own job
Shawn Mendes you're kidding right???? auto mode means the camera adjusts the iso and aperture and shutter speed automatically but in most shots lighting is not the same in all parts so you have to tap the focus to tell the camera to adjust the exposure according to that, same in DSLRs
daniel zolfaghari Auto Mode adjusts everything according to the scenario. Exposure and focus point are included. These are flagship phones so taking a picture without adjusting anything is their job
Daniel is right, Shawn is wrong.
ei989 Explain
I was not impressed by the Google pixel camera. Has Google paid you'll or something? S7 is far ahead of iPhone 7 and Google Pixel and I have done a comparison.
It wasn't the 7 plus but still iPhone did a great job an you didn't mention when it comes to video iPhone is the best
100% agree
Erblin Beqa omg you iPhone fanboys are so scared. LOL. does it have to be the best at everything in order to validate you?
William Ross I just said the reality nothing more or less.
Are you fucking kidding me?! Is this the only review you've watched. I can guarantee you that if you watch a comparison between the google pixel and the iphone 7 plus, they all say that the iphone 7 plus has better zoom, and it's the king in video, because of it's optical image stabilization unlike the google pixel's digital image stabilization! So overall the camera is better, because it also takes images quicker!
CodingTuts it does not do anything what you actually mentioned,the 7's camera is as good as the 7+'s is.It just can some more,that's the only think it can do.
i think in this comparision lg v20 should be used in lieu of lg g5...overall good comparision but in action shot the action was different in lg g5 that is why it looks blurry...sony xz really impressed me but s7 edge is stil king in my openion...pixel also performs great job colours are great in pixel....
heyy please use iphone 7+ and do the potrait mode for the potraits and it can compete the dslr
for you fanboy
i own LG g5 and i think it does better as shown, the phone has 2 cameras. to be fair it would be better to take a pic from each camera and do the comparison.
I want to pick Google pixel and iPhone 7 for nice photography at this moment.
use f*cking 23 megapixels on sony(theyre just jealous that sony xz is just the best)
sony is not paying these so called reviewers (like fucking iphone) so nobody tell good things about sony
md. shahnawaj thank u for understanding
You guys are bias arent you?
nope, not at all ... in fact i m using s7 edge for me.. but i have seen xz and it is a great camera phone.... what is true is true forever.. never mind i didnt tell this to hurt anyone..
I would of assume they would use the iphone 7 plus for this camera test cause of it being the better camera of the two
Note 5 is pretty good too that's what i have as i could not afford the s7 edge when it first came out.
Using the iPhone 7 and the camera is EXCELLENT!!! Coming from an iPhone 6 with its 8mp camera. The 7 is just beautiful
Chisom Agbara if you come 6 to 7 that's fine, you just need to try s7 or pixel then you won't say same
The Prophet that's a personal preference. I've used my share of android devices (Samsung htc lg) and I've liked their cameras too. I just have an iPhone now. Had I had the galaxy s7 or whatever I'd say the same thing as I commented
The Prophet i had the s7, it was only good on pro mode and even then you have to edit photos. The iphone takes better photos, just is you have the s7 and use pro mode then you'll get s better shot then the iphone, but after you touch up the ohotos with snapseed the s7 and iphone 7 will both be amazing. Trust me iv had both. Mt daily is the 7 now tho
OverKnight 52 rarely using pro mode... auto always with custom exposure, still beat my fr with i7 standing right next to me :D
OverKnight 52 then you r lying.. u dont have the s7... cz i m using s7 edge and never use pro mode still getting the best image
I love my Pixel, definitely the best Android phone of the year.
1.S7
2.Pixel
3.LG G5
do speaker test next
i prefer the image of LG. sharp without beauty blur filters. Better to have noise but sharp picture than a blury one.
i just won an Apple iPhone 7 from a company annual dinner lucky draw.. lol.. 128GB and planning on selling it.. cause.. i'm kind of an Android guy.. despite i use both. Xperia Z2 and iPhone 6S at the moment. since my Xperia Z2 if going to give away soon, (the back cover is off, the battery starts to swell) i'm selling it as a spare part. Now, i'm still in confuse mode either to keep the iPhone 7, or sell it and get either Google Pixel, Galaxy S7 Edge, or Xperia XZ.
Once you run the DSLR photos through post-processing (like they're designed to be) they will blow the phones out of the water
sony Xperia xz 😍😍
SONY XPERIA XZ is a CLEAR WINNER THIS TIME
the quadruple bezel pixel sandwich, Has a great camera dammnnnn, it killed it wow.
I used xperia xz with great camera
Where is the OnePlus 3t?
No 7 plus?
D800E is one the more expensive DSLRs out there(it was >$3000 when it was launched) so the comparison is kinda unfair... you should have chosen a cheaper DSLR for a fairier comparison, something within the price of the most expensive phone you have tested...
is moto z alive ???
where's the v20?
akshay verma It has about the same camera as the G5
Liel Bouskila i thought the mod they used was different and a different aperture
Liel Bouskila nl the v20 has a better camera according to sources
I have got to admit that google pixel has the best camera
Glad I have the Pixel, best smartphone camera ever made.
i think that they should use phones like s7 edge not s7 . iphone 7 plus not iphone7 . google pixel xl not google pixel and 2 to 3 DSLRs and other are looool.
I am using both iphone 7 and s7 edge
and I like s7 edge more than iphone 7
I am using S7 edge right now.
Sony for me... when they took a picture of the man when he jump..Sony takes it alot better..with its new auto focus...but other. I'll choose google pixel..but in video.. I'll choose the iphone 7...google pixel sucks at recording video
I think iPhone 7 camera has close to reality with no saturation but Samsung s7 and Lg G5 has slightly saturated images so I prefer iPhone 7 which is almost close to reality
U guys are joking. In low light condition (and also backlight condition), lg g5 is clearly a winner because it's shown more detail than the others
