Samsung Galaxy S7 vs. Apple iPhone 6s: Blind shootout revealed

21 March, 2016
Samsung went back to 12MP camera resolution with the Galaxy S7 for the purposes of great low-light imaging, but this means it's at equal megapixel count with the iPhone 6s, plus Apple does 2160p video too.

    JOJO, 21 Mar 2016Agree but all it matters is how the phone software is movin... moreThe Samsung phones you mentioned are old and have early versions of Android. All Android phones lagged during that time. My Galaxy S3 crashed all the time and lagged just like yours. My Note 4 on the other hand is on a whole different level and rarely lags. Certain apps do crash occasionally, but that usually the app developer's fault. I can't imagine how smoothly the Galaxy S7 runs right now.

      One of these phones over-processes (over-sharpens) and blasts out the highlights, losing detail, but appearing more contrasty and at first glance many seem to like this over-processing, even though it results in a bad photo.

      It's the reason why cheap LCDs "pop" in big-box stores, I guess.

          There is a clear winner from those photos. The difference is very obvious and I doubt that iPhone is that phone. Well done Sammy.

                  Still not as smooth as stock Android or Motorola, but a LOT better.

                    Both of them have same resolution so there's no resolving edge on either side. Phone A has wider FoV and that might be the S7 due to lesser focal length of S7 at 26 mm while iphone 6s at 29 mm equivalent. But colors of S7 don't appear natural I just call it appear coz we don't have any reference pic to compare with.


                    HEY GSMARENA TEAM CAN U JUST INCLUDE RAW IMAGE COMPARISON SO THAT WE CAN COMPARE SENSOR QUALITIES RATHER THAN POST PROCESSED ARTIFICIAL IMAGE

                      Well, well. phone killed in video section(by fans & you), why? It is clear to see superiority of A(in all, just not hdr). But then comes video secton: dear gsma: 1.with A as fan's favourite, people vote ever if pics are worse -please change phones in letters A,B,...(in every-1 / 2.vote) so people do not vote just because they think thats their S7/6s. 2.Use same FoV-shots so its not so easy to tell what is A/B phone 2.5 to be fair I would shoot from different distance, because cropping would mean something like smaller FoV - better camera(like with meizu pro5). I hope you change it soon as it's getting ridiculous.thx

                        Those phone is too old to talk now, Samsung phone no longer hang or lag since last 2 years.

                          I have 3 Samsung(S3, S4 and Samsung Alpha), YES, 3.
                          All of them have lags, freezing(almost DAILY) and so on...ALL ! I am sick of Samsung shit.

                          I am not saying that Iphone is better. I don't have one. All i am saying is that Samsung's software is a bad joke.
                          They can put i7 and 100 GB RAM inside IF they don't optimize the touchwiz shit, the phone will move like a snail and it will freeze until you restart the phone. I don't care if the camera has 10000 MP or 10 MP. It doesn't matter anyway.
                          I care that when I want to call or to respond to any fking call, the phone must work and it doesn't !

                          All the Samsungs are working good for few months and then ...BANG. The problems appear.

                          Yeah, I know. I can root them and remove the useless apps. I did it! Same shit for all 3.

                              SPOILER :::
                              I checked the 1st two pictures and compared it with images in the reviews and its safe to say
                              Phone A : S7 Phone B: 6s
                              if that applies to night photos as well, then the S7 is the clear winner !!!

                                      Except in color reproduction. It is easy to see that the GS7 has a warmer feel...
                                      But I would choose the GS7 câmera easily...
