Huawei S7 P9 vs Galaxy: face to face picture – CNET France

Not surprisingly, this is the part that picture busiest Huawei at the P9 the presentation conference on April 6. It must be said that the phone has some special features that side because we have two sensors instead of one. She also partnered with Leica, which needs no introduction, just to symbolize the “pro” side of his photo part. If they are not really new, the use made of the two sensors the Chinese firm is innovative because it does not just some gadgets effects such as the development post .

As usual, the brand has also played the card of the comparison to highlight his phone. She let her camera sensor up to 90% more light than the Galaxy S7. The model chosen is nothing trivial since the S7 has shown its ability to make excellent pictures in dim light, it is even according to our best current cameraphone comparison. With almost two times more light to P9, could pass the moon to the sun? We wanted to check with the comparison.

Summary of forces

Before proceeding to the comparison, carry a reminder of features two photo sensors smartphones:

The Huawei P9 is entitled to two sensors 12 mpx opening to f / 2.2. The matrix of the first is a traditional RGB, while the other is black and white. No color so with the latter, which in particular to take better pictures in black and white. Two sensors also mean more light, especially as the photosites measure 1.2 microns.

We have already spoken at length about the Galaxy S7 photo sensor on our face to face with the iPhone 6S. It is this time 12 mpx, with an aperture of f / 1.7. The photosites are larger, with 1.4 microns this time, but there is only one sensor.

Note: All photos are taken in auto mode and 4/3, default.

As expected, outside, it is very difficult to decide between the two phones. The rendering is very good in both, a slight color difference is noted, the assessment will remain very subjective. Note however that P9 has a greater angle than the S7.

Inside, in a room lit (darkly), we begin to see the Galaxy S7 out from P9 by more brightness. P9 accuses plus a red hue and a tendency to over-saturate colors. Something we’ve seen on other pictures in our tests. Yellowness of the S7 are not extraordinary, but still natural.

Despite Huawei advertisements and its thundering declarations, it is clear in the darkness that the result is very clearly in favor of Samsung. The grain is necessarily marked, but the cliché is perfectly readable. It can not be said of P9, where knickknacks are barely distinguishable. Note, however, the presence of a “night mode” at Huawei, but very long exposure used in this mode requires the use of a foot.

With the flash story is a little different, the flash overexposed Huawei less the scene, but also less relief and development is less just. If overexposure Samsung is here not too troublesome, it may be a little more depending on the subject. Preference is more relief on a face, for example, but better exposure in a work of art. It will here enjoy the result in each case.



Conclusion

In general, we can say that the P9 provides benefits quite honorable. But, contrary to what was wanted us to believe Huawei during his lecture, he can equal and even less surpasses, the Galaxy S7. The Korean phone remains to this day the most successful and most versatile of the market, if you exclude devices that experimental be qualified.

However, it remains black and white shot that captured him since the phone has a monochrome matrix, our colleagues at The Digital were also interested in that particular point. Effects “focus”, to simulate an aperture of f / 0.95 for a beautiful bokeh may amuse some, but this is an anecdotal use, especially as this mode can not be used in black and white … yet the highlight of the smartphone.
