At first glance like the first touch, difficult to differentiate the Galaxy S7 of his grandfather, the Galaxy S6. The aesthetic codes are reproduced exactly and we thus find the premium showcase that we enjoyed last year. Risk taking (#absence removable battery or memory card) or design out, it was good for the Galaxy S6 because this year, the Galaxy S appears more consensual.
Reclaiming his tribe
Back a Memory expansion via microSD card handy, return the seal made by the S5, S7 with the Galaxy, Samsung gives means to unite the core of his faithful, somewhat stung by the Galaxy S6 and absences. Are we in the presence of a Galaxy S6 “S”, a transition model reviewed and corrected as opposite from Apple?
After a few days in our hands, we have the impression that Galaxy S and 2016 seems to excel on all the points that count beginning with the display and the photo. Until the test in our full review, we will already make a first evaluation of the photo section and compare the results with the S6 and the iPhone 6s, just to compare.
The Contenders
for the first time on its range of smartphone, Samsung has decided to reduce the definition of its dorsal sensor. 16 megapixels on the S6, the S7 goes to 12 megapixels . The sensor size is identical on both machines (1 / 2.6 inch), the photosites are larger (1.4 micron against 1.12 for S6). Samsung, the idea is thus to improve the capture in low light situation. The S7 sensor, a Sony IMX260 is also an evolution of the one used on the S6, which sailed a IMX240.
Another development, the opening of passing f / 1.9 on the S6 f / 1.7 on S7 again to catch more light. Like its predecessor, the S7 takes a Image Stabilisation . Finally the focal length, the S7 has a wide angle of 26 mm against 28 mm on the Galaxy S6 .
In front, Apple has followed a reverse logic, increase definition (8 to 12 MP) on the same sensor size, 1/3 of an inch. Result, the photosites are smaller and spend 1.5 on the iPhone 6 to 1.22 micron on the iPhone 6s. Sensor photosites and smaller than Samsung for an identical resolution and 12 megapixel so. Always
no optical stabilization on the 6S (reserved for Plus version) and less light aperture (f / 2.2) , on paper, the difference widening between Apple and Samsung. Finally, note that the iPhone 6s adopt a equivalent wide-angle 29 mm
In the field
The captured images automatically and in 4.: 3 with our machines have enjoyed no special settings.
Galaxy S7 sensor like the iPhone 6s are natively in 4: 3 with a max resolution of 12 megapixels. The Galaxy S6 natively integrates a format 16: 9 sensor with a maximum resolution of 16 megapixels in 4: 3 setting increases to 12 megapixels. Thus, all the pictures in this test were same definition set at 12 MP.
Outside

In fairly ideal exposure conditions, the court of our new Paris premises bathed in sunshine, the three smartphones will logically come out with honors . In detail, the scene is better exposed on the s7 (gray area under the porch and stairs) pictures taken with the iPhone shifted toward yellow those caught with the Galaxy to blue, overall iPhone 6s provides better accuracy in color reproduction (see the gray cobblestones)

When it comes to crop, there is a somewhat similar sound management, the battle will not win in these conditions for all APN type.
indoors without flash
exchange gives less lenient with conditions like here in interior curtains closed, in the dark. The Galaxy S7 dropped its competitors of the day, the scene is more exposed, the brighter picture, more just white balance and more accurate colors. The comparison is particularly painful for the iPhone 6S coming out of dark photos, featureless and well noisy

The Galaxy S6 is not doing so badly this year, we still note a balance of mismanaged white noise and color that pulls yellow

Indoors with flash
Very good without flash, the Galaxy S7 does not demerit with . LED offers better distribution and homogeneity of light making the scene more depth, vases seem less crushed. The flash of the iPhone 6s is less homogeneous, scorched the center of the stage and the vessels are flat.

The Galaxy S6 is doing better in the field of light scattering, the scene is less cramée. Victory of the Galaxy S7 and its flash to the homogeneous light

In cons-day
Still not clear conditions for our NPC, under our canopy, against the -day this time. The three machines deliver good results, a good level in the details, 6s white balance pulls slightly to yellow. Outside the focal length (29mm for the iPhone, 28 for S6, S7 26) is kif-kif

On this last year, the S6 is doing best, probably due to a weaker Wide. In Samsung we note little difference, the S7 seems still better white balance, face it, the iPhone is far from ridiculous. To mitigate these results, rather good on our three machines, we have provided catches in relatively favorable conditions in the sun

And the gap widens
One point is clear, the gap between a Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S7 is not so obvious in most cases … except in low light where the Galaxy S7 is actually very impressive. The flash will be clearly less strain on the S7 and it should be, it provides a more uniform distribution of light.
When the right conditions are met, the iPhone 6s always produces good shots. However, already behind by the Galaxy S6, the gap widens a bit more with the Galaxy S7 and our personal iPhone 6s appears completely dropped in certain situations (low light, use the flash). We bet that Apple will fix the shooting in September with an iPhone 7 break.
