      N, 24 Jun 2016And oh, in case you were too lazy to read my long comment: ... moreDude every smartphone camera has drawbacks be it s7 or note5 there is no point in just highlighting only negative points OF Note5 just to ignore the facts cause even i can write full page essays abt the s7's downgraded camera just like you but i am not doing it and you know why? cause i am not a ignorant person like you. LOL However the fact remains the same Note5 camera is better than S7 camera even with its darwbacks that you have mentioned

      Go learn to troll properly first you are not doing it better .LOL..( & The fact is that s7 & s7 edge happened be to a victum of samsung racing against other OEM'S to release new phones without thorough testing.It also looses to LG G5 very badly in low light even with the bigger camera apreture there a lowlight shootout made by gsma have a look at it ti understand what i am saying instead of ignoring the fact ) so again hopefully NOTE7 does not go through the same fate.plus i guess you want the same downgraded camera of s7 in Note7 i am not understanding why do you not want something better in Note7 in terms of camera? or you are also one of the person here who is conviencing himself to buy Note7 even with all of it deal breakers .I really hope that it does not happen to Note7 however lets see what samsung does this time aroundLOL.

          No, I do not agree with your "98%" assessment of the YouTube reviewers saying that the S7 Edge is a lower in performance OVERALL.

          In fact, it's the other way around - I can summize only 2% (like you) say the Note.5 is better, and 98% of reviewers (DXoMark, C.Net, Verge, Brownlee, Mobile.Techreview, Pocket.Now, Techno.Buffalo, etc.) tell us that the S7 Edge has more advantage than predecessors, and even across other smartphones.

          I'd be glad if the #1 ranked performing camera would be in the next GN, not the #3 ranked one of the Note.5.

              Note.5 has BLURRED RESULTS in artificial and low light, even with flash. Often times, the Note.5 catches MORE of the Sun's GLARE on reflecting surfaces.

              DXoMark Mobile on the S7 Edge's video stabilization:
              "Video stabilization is often a weak point for many mobile devices, resulting in shaky and jittery movies, even with minor walking movement. Not so on the S7 edge, however, which boasts excellent stabilization scores of 91 in bright light and 88 in low light, ensuring smooth video capture. Some minor jitter artifacts, as well as a loss of very fine detail, are evident in low-light videos, but the S7 edge is capable of correcting minor handheld or walking motion for stable videos."

              On the Note.5:
              "Shooting video on the Galaxy Note V, exposures are excellent in both lighting conditions, achieving a Bright Light score of 92 (out of 100) and Low Light score of 82."

              Vid stabilization is just 1% better on the Note.5, however, 6% difference in low light stabilization.

              These are why Note.5 is #3, NOT #1. I'd rather go for the one that does more reliable clear photos in most situations than blurred one any day.

                  AnonD-100398, 24 Jun 2016Why Are you lazy enough to discover them urself ? why do yo... moreYeah, right...

                  I've told you I've watched the top 10 videos, and have been scanning any bad reviews about the S7 Edge. Since the review of the camera was OUTSTANDING, and no issues of battery drains, it was an excellent device as the default family camera. Writing and reading to and from the microSD card is excellent without any lag.

                  Note.5 has a excellent camera performance, however S7 Edge has become the #1 standard now for mobile camera, according from major PRO reviewers like DXoMark Mobile, and some 20 MAJOR YouTube reviewers that you somehow cannot believe their findings, and just accused them of being paid with free units. Note.5's camera was not even top, falling behind the S6 Edge.

                  But saying the Note.5 is better than the S7 Edge is totally false. Ok, name just ONE, or give us a link of a REPUTABLE reviewer that tells us of how the OIS of the S7 Edge fails? Just ONE... No, you can't name even ONE.

                        That said, the S7 is a lot better than the S6 and the GN7 (due out shortly) is a lot better than the GN5.

                                Its true that I do not own s7(honestly i dont want to) but i already had a hands on both s7 and s7 edge and comapaired it with my note5 in terms of camera etc ( No wonder one can buy the s7 and s7 edge in almost the same price as Note5 even with latest chipsets and gpus the prices is not that diffrent ,It seems the downgraded camera and the only 32gb internal memory modals helped samsung to keep the prices for s7 and s7 edge in check ) plus the YT reviewers and most blogs i've read support my experience abt the camera so you see i dont really have to buy any device to know its camera shortcomings.
                                All i am hoping that samung sud not use the same Sh!t camera of s7 in Note7.however lets see.how the dual camera rumor works out

                                  If they are NOT DXoMark Mobile, and ALL the major tech reviewers of Youtube, WHO ARE they that say S7 Edge is not the #1 BEST camera function/hardwware RIGHT NOW?

                                  WHO are these "trustworthy youtubers"? They are what you can claim as the real users of the S7 Edge. They have NEVER gotten a test unit for FREE. Please give very specific names, or links.

                                  Because I have used an actual S7 Edge, and have NEVER experienced any of the problems you have enumerated.
