today I'm going to be testing out two powerful flagship smartphones the HTC 10 and the Galaxy s7 edge we're going to start off by filming in 4k drop down to 1080p and then finish off with the front-facing cameras and slow motion I haven't both set up in this little rig to keep them both equally stabilized while I am filming let's get started so right now I'm filming in 4k resolution at 30 frames a second on each camera things to look out for are the image stabilization as well as the color quality both cameras have the OIS image stabilizing active right now at 4k so the image should be relatively stable as I'm walking cellphones usually have a pretty hard time finding definitions in clouds we're going to go up to the sky here and drop it back down to the ground back up to the sky again still recording in 4k I'll have a poll question at the end of this video so you can answer and tell me which one you think looks better remember every screen is a little bit different so watching this video on an iPhone will be different than watching this video on a Samsung one has an LCD display the other one has an AMOLED display which displays the colors a little bit differently so now I'm filming in 1080p walking down this trail both cameras still have the OIS image stabilizing but the Samsung Galaxy s7 also has something called a is which is electronic image stabilization on top of the OIS which is the optical image stabilization so it should be a lot more stable than the HTC 10 but it also might have more of a warp stabiliser effect which distorts the image a little bit from that electronic image stabilizing so now we're filming with the front-facing cameras there are some differences between the two the Samsung Galaxy s7 can film in quad HD so the image is going to be a little bit bigger than the HTC 10 but the HTC 10 has something called OAS image stabilizing on the front-facing camera which is a world-first for a smart phone the first smartphone in the world that has the optical image stabilization on the front facing camera so the image is going to be more stable than it is on the galaxy s7 theoretically if the specs work out like they're supposed to so as I'm walking pay attention to the color quality and the image stabilizing on each camera and since I have you here let me rant for just one quick second the HTC 10 has something called high res audio but when you turn on this high res audio it actually changed what format the video is being recorded in it'll drop the file as a dot MKV file which is fine it'll play great on your phone and on your computer but if you ever plan on editing it in Adobe Premiere or any other software that edits video is going to struggle considerably Adobe Premiere won't even accept that file format so if you're a vlogger and you're planning on using this awesome OAS image stabilizing front-facing camera make sure that your high res audio is turned off that'll make it so that the phone will output in an mp4 instead of the dot MKV and you'll be able to use your footage I'll do a little walking with the front-facing camera so I switch back to ultra-high definition this is 4k footage you can also make the video fullscreen so you can see a little better do some close-up shots of these rocks still in 4k check out the image color in the image detail so for the slow-motion both phones are actually going to be in 720p the HTC ten will be filming in 120 frames per second the galaxy s7 edge will be filming in 240 frames per second so there's twice as many frames on the galaxy to work with so the slow motion will be twice as slow and twice as cool the galaxy s7 definitely wins in the slow-motion department so I'm going to include a poll question right here in the corner which phone do you think did better in this test there's so many variables when it comes to smartphone cameras but you have to pick and then leave down in the comments below why you think that phone did better I did durability tests on both the HTC 10 and the galaxy s7 edge I will link both those videos here so you can watch those if you're interested thanks ton for watching hope see you around
