Samsung Galaxy S7 edge: grip the camera module – Digital Focus

We had the opportunity to take control of the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge , high-end smartphone announced a few weeks ago at the Mobile World Congress 2016. Like the Galaxy S6 in his time, this new terminal could well be one of the best Photo smartphones of 2016. Although less innovative than the LG G5, the S7 has indeed arguments in its favor; image quality to which we are accustomed Samsung and the adoption of a sensor with technology Dual Pixel AF is not the least.

 Camera Module

Samsung has opted for a back camera module with an aperture of f / 1.7 and a sensor 4/3 and definition 12MP, increasing size of photosites to 1.4 micron (1.12 micron against the GS6 family). The Korean manufacturer contributes to announce the end of the race megapixels, justifying this choice by the fact that a narrow definition provides better results in terms of image, particularly as regards the rendering in low light.

Rappelons more than what Sony Exmor RS IMX260 sensor has the Dual Pixel AF technology, auto focus system developed by Canon. To summarize briefly, this technology increases the speed of autofocus but could however cause a decline in high ISO image quality and a lower dive sensation.
 



 Getting Started

If the Galaxy and the Galaxy S7 S7 edge will equip both a Super AMOLED panel with a WQHD resolution (2560 x 1440 pixels), the first offers a screen diagonal 5.1 “while the second features a screen diagonal of 5.5″. Side finishes, both smartphones are still entitled to a mixture of aluminum frame and glass plates.

En As a worthy heir of the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge edge +, Galaxy S7 edge has little ergonomic developments. We thus find the curved screen representing the hallmark of the range of high-end smartphone. The ridges are less pronounced than those of the Galaxy S6 edge, note that this slight exuberance is primarily an aesthetic argument, and have little impact on the smartphone grip and reading comfort when it comes to taking pictures.

Un smartphone always being at hand, its camera module must be running quickly in order to capture the most fleeting moments. Like its predecessors, the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge thus acquires a very useful shortcut, two pressures on the “Home” button to directly access the camera application of the terminal.

De Similar to most smartphones, the Galaxy S7 edge to assign the trip function to the touch screen or the volume buttons. If the location of these falls relatively well in hand, we would have appreciated such a smartphone is distinguished by the presence of a dedicated button located conveniently under the forefinger of the right hand when the device is positioned horizontally.

finally, note that the addition of a microSD port and waterproof character Samsung Galaxy edge S7 grant him flexibility in terms of storage capacity and an all-character ground. We regret the lack of removable battery.



 Interface

The smartphone camera interface has made a leap forward in the past year and Samsung’s high-end terminals were precursory in this field. The Galaxy S7 and again – almost line for line – shooting the options proposed by the mode “Pro” Samsung Galaxy S6 edge +: selection of the focus mode and exposure metering, setting the balance white, ISO sensitivity, shutter speed, etc. Being fixed, only the diaphragm aperture can not be changed. Users put off by the complexity of these parameters can however switch to the automatic mode available.

Malgré a slight aesthetic overhaul, Samsung proposes a touch-interface whose foundations have not changed. If a filter string of – applicable from the shooting or post – and some editing tools are available, we prefer them those available in dedicated applications

Notez otherwise the Galaxy S7 edge can capture images in RAW format (as DNG files) but the smartphone has no native application for their editing. it will therefore use applications such as Lightroom or Snapseed Mobile to enjoy the flexibility qu’octroie using that format at the editing stage.

If this smartphone will confront its direct competitors (G5 LG, Huawei P9, etc.) and make him pass the test of ISO uphill laboratory to get a definitive opinion we can already pass judgment on the actual comfort provided by the excellent screen, the well-thought interface and velocity of the smartphone. Regardless of lighting conditions, the autofocus of the camera has always been extremely responsive!

With regard to image quality, the Galaxy S7 edge has good color management and balance white. However, the captured images seem to suffer from an accentuation of contrast too marked. Note that this image processing could be chosen to offset the loss of sharpness due to the use of the Dual Pixel AF technology. If the loss of detail is even more striking in low light conditions, chromatic noise seems relatively well contained.

Despite the reported defects, the Galaxy S7 edge always seems to dominate the competition. We invite you to discover some images captured using the new Samsung smartphone:
