    'The only thing we're not sure about is what Smart OIS stands for. There's no specific mention of optical image stabilization on the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge'
    LOL
    I guess at least you should know what OIS stands for, in 'Smart OIS'.

              Remember guys, bigger sensor + bigger pixel size + faster lens = so much more light. This means you'll be able to shoot at a much lower ISO in the same lighting condition. That's why all these shots are so clean.

                No OIS?

                Fail!

                  Even they scaled down to 12MP, image quality still looks sharp & detailed, Amazing! Superb Camera!!

                    Low light / night images - that's key for me.

                      Hopefully they will add the selfie screen flash to the s6.

                        Adiyel, 22 Feb 2016It's 1/2.5" I thinkActually I just did the math and it should be 1/2.3
                        That means the aperture is a lot wider than on the s6. I expect a better low light performance than on the nexus 6p, the pixels are a little smaller but they get more light. With the same sensor size, the aperture is comparable

                          I hope to see as soon as possible, an S7 vs G5 cameras analogy, the 12MP of the S7 vs the 16MP & 8MP of the G5, and the front as well, the 5MP of the S7 vs the 8MP of the G5, which is really the best in real life? ????????? (Maybe GSMArena will do it first?)

                            Lower resolution and the quality is still great.
                            I can even see the type of microphone on that camera.
                            Under the barcode I see: "Audio Sennheiser ME34 - K5"

                                1.4 um Pixels is not that specular, in this aspect ratio we can expect a 1/2.3 or a 1/2.4 sensor. That's good in combination with the aperture but nothing ground breaking. Actually the nexus 6p has even bigger pixels

                                  When will we get a side by side picture and video comparison between the S6 & S7 ? Those who are interested in the camera department , like myself, want to know if it's worth upgrading to the S7 or perhaps other brands / models.

                                    The pictures do look nice.

                                    However, when will we get a side by side picture & video comparison between the S6 & S7 ?

                                    I'm sure a lot of folks, interested in the camera department, will want to know if it's worth upgrading to the new S7 , or other brands / models .
