Test: photo sensor 16MP Galaxy Note 4 is effective? – The Digital

After the (very nice) full screen test his bench, the Galaxy Note 4 passed the battery of tests, lab reserved for all image sensors smartphones. Behavior of the camera, user interface, image rendering: here’s our verdict on the picture quality of the new Samsung Phablet
Near the photo sensor 16MP Galaxy S5 which, for the record. , shows generally very effective, except in low light, the camera of the Galaxy Note 4 carries in addition an optical stabilizer. Additional equipment which should, in practice, allow the NPC to deliver just look better image in low light and video (up to 1080p Full only). So the new version of the flagship Phablet market she has a good all-terrain APN? Needless to turn around longer view: yes, the “Note 4″ simply provides an excellent camera, day and night. Proof.
In broad daylight or artificial light illuminating enough, the Galaxy Note offers 4 shots particularly sharp and well detailed, and the whole image. Here, we do not find heavy smoothing or edge enhancement outrageous. The pictures show a good dive and a good noise. Compared to good sensor of the iPhone 6 Plus (8MP) is quite similar except that with the definition of the Galaxy Note 4, the user will be able to easily zoom in a photo for the crop without fear of losing too much detail.
In low light, it is much better than the 3 rating and GS5. The optical stabilizer honorably his job. The level of detail is improved, particularly in the center of the image, the noise is uncommon and smoothing is very lightweight. The image is tinted slightly red and yellow, but nothing shocking.
We are not a front cador the low light, but the Note 4 can make a lot of services when the light does not come too scarce and LED flash turns pretty sweet. He is still prefer the results with the iPhone 6 Plus, more natural in terms of color rendering, but also slightly more net when away from the center of the photo.

Côté behavior, the camera of Galaxy Note 4 is very pleasant to use, with a focus quickly and accurately. Is not reached by the lightning speed of development offered by the GS5, the G3 and iPhone 6 Plus, the three references in the field, however this is very satisfying.

 Finally, the camera interface is still as rich in options shooting (HDR OIS …) and post shooting (filters, retouching …) treatment.

 Enough to satisfy all types of users, the addict to the automatic mode most adept expert manual settings. Of all the official creative modes – some are available for download directly from the app photo – it is Virtual Tour to simulate advanced in space. Practice for imaging a visit to a place, a pilgrimage in an apartment, for example, and easy to implement. Also, great photos in all, taken by the terminal are perfectly enhanced by the Quad HD (2560 x 1440 px) screen.

 

On the video side, it is important to note that only capture Full HD 1080p advantage of the optical stabilization to gain rendering quality. For videos taken WQHD (2560 x 1440 px) and UHD / 4K (3840 x 2160 px), stabilization becomes inaccessible in the settings menu. Stabilization which reached an exceptional level and serves as a perfect Full HD mode which should logically be the most used by future users of the Note 4.

 In WQHD and UHD / 4K, we appreciate the small heater terminal and thus the possibility of producing high definition videos ultra several minutes.

 

Some tremors are in the game, but the picture remains relatively usable. There are also various creative modes, including slow motion afterwards. Overall, these three modes capture high, very high and ultra definition offer a quality image. Rendering, though natural, pulls slightly to the red as the light conditions are impoverished, but note 4 can easily be used as a good pocket camcorder.

We now turn to the case of the front sensor, which tops out at about 3.7 megapixels. This machine to make self-portraits in wide angle is particularly reactive and birth shooting quality and usable in most shooting conditions. Note the inclusion of some very practical options, as effective voice activation or by tapping the pulse sensor near the flash. To release, the system must detect a face. We must be close enough and especially look at the sensor, but it is practical to trigger a self-portrait firmly holding the Galaxy Note 4.
