1. Depth of field
Samsung Galaxy S7 ★★★★★
iPhone 6s ★★★★ ☆
The front and back camera of Galaxy Samsung S7 have f1.7 focal apertures, which improve low light performance. In addition, it allows Galaxy S7 to take photos with shallow depth of field, helping you to emphasize certain object and make your image more professional.
The illustration above shows that the photo taken by Galaxy Samsung S7 has a much thinner street stripe than that of iPhone 6s. iPhone 6s has f2.2 focal aperture, which is associated with depth of field. In the photo taken by iPhone 6s, more of the street view is in focus. Moreover, the background is not too blurry..
2. Camera in front
Samsung Galaxy S7 ★★★★ ☆
iPhone 6s ★★★★ ☆
Samsung Galaxy S7 has a 5 mega-pixel front camera, which performs extremely well, especially in good light, but also iPhone 6s. However, S7 surpasses the iPhone 6s in terms of the rear camera because it has a wider field of view. So Galaxy S7 can fit more of the background in the picture while iPhone 6s has better performance with selfies. So which one is better? It depends on personal preference.
3. Low light performance
Samsung Galaxy S7 ★★★★ ☆
iPhone 6s ★★★ ☆☆
As we mentioned above, Samsung Galaxy has a larger aperture than iPhone 6s. This allows the phone to take better photos in low light. Look at the image above. Both are taken in a dark corner inside. The photo taken by Samsung Galaxy S7 is better because its color balance is warm. The fault here is perhaps much more garish in color. However, the photo taken by iPhone 6s is underexposed and it cannot focus on it..
4. Camera speed
Samsung Galaxy S7 ★★★★ ☆
iPhone 6s ★★★★ ☆
By testing both, we found that the camera speed of Samsung Galasy S7 is faster compared to that of iPhone 6s. But this does not show that iPhone photo processing speed is slow. It took iPhone 6s three or four seconds to boot up when you activate the screen. When it comes to Samsung Galaxy S7, the waiting time will be reduced. So what about the autofocus speed? The answer is that Samsung Galaxy S7 takes the shorter time to focus on the object. And after tap the shutter button, the speed of Samsung Galaxy S7 is faster than iPhone 6s to capture photos.
Conclusion
Samsung is making improvement progress. And it now performs better than iPhone 6s when it comes to the camera. Still, it doesn't mean iPhone's behaviors are bad. Like a titan in the cell phone field, iPhone prides itself on its high quality camera. Both of them make terrific performances while taking pictures. But in comparison, Galaxy S7 is better above.
