Lab Test – Samsung Galaxy S6: THE versatile cameraphone – The Digital

Before the imminent publication of their extensive testing and after were quite impressed with their screens Super Amoled, here is our report on the camera of the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Galaxy edge.
clear=”all”/> Before discussing in more detail the photographic skills of new Samsung spearheads, note that the Galaxy and Galaxy S6 S6 edge offer the same technical equipment and exactly the same photo experience. Remember, the two terminals boarded a back 16MP camera sensor, taking advantage of optical stabilization and accompanied by a LED flash and video capture up to the Ultra HD (3840 x 2160 px). As for the photo-video sensor on the front, it’s a 5-megapixel wide-angle module.

Photo Messaging to do everything

Photographic size of Galaxy S series is one of the strengths that Samsung was able to rest for several generations of products. On this GS6, the firm brings some improvements for some already seen on its latest high-end product to date, the Galaxy Note 4. GS6 and welcomes optical stabilization, when it was far as digital, but also intermediate levels between video recording Full HD and Ultra HD, better idle (see below) and a slightly more streamlined interface.



 The new photo interface is the result of the changes made since the release of GS5 by successive software updates and the arrival of Note 4 and Note Edge. Deep parameters – such as quality photo capture and video capture (16MP 16: 9, 12 MP 4: 3, Full HD, UHD, HD …), geolocation, video stabilization or display the grid – are gathered under the Settings icon. Flash, style, HDR and timer effects are directly at the interface, while shooting modes and video find themselves once again in a “Mode” menu under the trigger, with a more sleek graphic rearrangement. The opportunity to discover two new modes which will be discussed below. Pro and Virtual Photo

In use, the new Galaxy S prove without much suspense as high quality camera phones. The outbreak of the photos is super fast, regardless of the mode or type of use. Samsung also adds a devilishly useful option, since it is now possible to access the AFN 1 s just by double clicking the center button of the mobile (standby or during normal use ). Autofocus, general or selective, is also very fast, even if the LG G3 appears to retain a small step ahead. Anyway, among the G3, the iPhone 6 Plus, this Galaxy S6 or Note 4, we have a set of smartphones capable of taking a string of successful pictures on the fly and straight. It quickly finds, optical stabilization works miracles. Photo from inside, she quickly becomes the best ally of the user.

To assess the quality of the picture, we have chosen in this article to compare the Galaxy smartphone S6, which in time, seems to be the best cameraphone consumer market: 6 More iPhone Apple. During our survey blind on picture qualities of the iPhone 6 Plus and Galaxy S6, you, participants readers may have already glimpse and see the strengths and weaknesses of each. For further comparison, you will find at the end of this section a link to our “Face to Face Photo”.

 
 

On
landscape shots and scope, the iPhone 6 Plus offers made more attractive with an overall dive over worked and improved homogeneity in the image. The GS6 slightly weakened in the contours, without distorting the catch. So much for the relative weakness of GS6 from its biggest competitor.

For the rest, Samsung going one step forward compared to the APN GS5. Inside, the Galaxy S6 shown a high accuracy, a cut to the string and made it a warm and natural than the iPhone 6 Plus. There were no significant drift towards magenta or yellow tone, balance is kept and the white balance is more accurate than most of its competitors, often too cold or too hot.

 
 


But in low light the Samsung efforts are most visible. If the GS6 sensor will not look much light that HTC One M8, a Lumia 930, iPhone 6 Plus or even a Passport, the overall rendering software has a job and a higher return details. Noise or too strong smoothing, many transcribed information and to stabilize it does not take time to moult deliver a useable cliché: in short, all good! It lacks finally her that the ability of a high-end Lumia sucking a lot of light to bury any competition.
In macro, Galaxy S6 continues to surprise us. The level of detail combined intrinsic to very own software work lead to a never been seen (except in some ways, the Nokia 808 Pureview unclassifiable). If the iPhone 6 Plus had already surprised us, he finds himself limited by its 8MP, while Sony still groping its photofinishing. The CM1 Panasonic, far from public footpaths, logically standout.

Finally, add a few lines on these new modes mentioned above. The “Pro” mode allows minimal release of certain features, the depth of field. An ability that comes to overlap with “selective focus” introduced by the GS5 and always present, but Pro mode, use and rendering are much better. ISO sensitivity and white balance are also proposed in this manual and it is possible to save 3 profiles.

 
 

As for “Virtual Photo”, this is the new gadget fashion, friendly to use once and then rarely. It consists of taking a circular picture of an object with a movement of the mobile equivalent to that required for a panorama. Rendering recreates this movement and can move in the picture with the movements of the smartphone via the accelerometer.
The decision is nonetheless noted that in hand differs slightly depending on whether one uses a GS6 or GS6 edge . It appeared a little less secure with version “edge”, because of its side edges made fine by the curvature of the screen. Handle AFN options while holding the smartphone with the tips of both hands is sometimes dangerous. Solid edges of GS6 promote a more serene grip, although the use of the volume keys to trigger may appear like a good trim on the edge GS6. Another small point that could wince the user: the photo sensor causes an unsightly bulge slightly back as the last iPhone, but bigger. The felt varies from one person to another. By writing, some do not take offense when others make a drama.

Videos and self-portraits in great shape

Video uptake Galaxy S6 inherits the undeniable success of the Galaxy Note 4. Full HD, stabilization works miracles. Under optimal conditions, the sensor delivers high-quality moving images for a camera phone; as against the Note 4, the iPhone 6 Plus is a tough competitor here. In “Slow Motion”, going from 120 i / s to 340 i / s – of course, Full HD resolution is no longer on the menu – and the mode “Quick Image” always allows for accelerated clips . These two modes also earn much simplicity. No more cryptic submenu in the settings, site specific options in the options menu and, above all, a reading that can act directly on the content (and not a raw and passive reading).

UHD side, shooting is limited to 5 minutes, like on the HTC One M9, a countdown instead of a stopwatch. Caution probably essential for proper operation of the unit (heating components, recording heavy-generated content, etc.). UHD film, video stabilization, simultaneous photo taking, creative effects and HDR are not available. Samsung also offers two intermediate quality levels: Full HD 60 f / s, “qHD” 2560 x 1440 px (native resolution of the Super AMOLED screen); not for these modes, stabilization and other above options are not available.

The sensor before finally going from 2.1 to 5 MP. The qualitative leap is in keeping with good reactivity, made very honorable and useful wide angle. The self-portraits of fans will be thrilled. The trigger can be on the screen, for a predefined movement the lens and, putting his finger on the heart rate sensor on the back (which falls under the index, practice). Too bad that Samsung does not provide selective focus on that side of the product.

The fact is that in the light of these tests, Samsung clearly takes the smartphone market head on picture experience. It does not cross a huge milestone in the photophonie – the picture quality does not seek such a Panasonic camera and hybrid / mobile Lumix DMC-CM1 – but the overall rendering, the whole “all-terrain” of the sensor and net progress of the firm in its last through (rendered low light, stabilization, ease of use) make Galaxy S6 and S6 Galaxy edge globally superior camera phones to competition time, with a clear preference for the side GS6 taken May Redistribution in photophonie consumer cards.

Rendezvous Wednesday 1 st and next Thursday, April 2 for complete testing of Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Galaxy edge .
