2016-05-13
before we get started I want to show you guys this tree it's so fluffy so I was really excited to take you guys to this awesome Lake my truck ended up getting stuck about a mile back on the super snowy road I thought I could make it but you can see the road here and the snow is about four five feet deep on top of the road so I've been hiking for the last mile or so I think the lake is just around this corner let's keep our fingers crossed I did a poll on Twitter a couple days ago asking which phones I should test in my next video you guys voted for the Galaxy s7 edge and the lumia 950xl we're gonna have a flagship Android phone versus a flagship Windows Phone both of these phones are completely stock settings everything is on auto because we're going to do a video test between the two of them we're going to start off with the 4k drop down to 1080p do the front-facing cameras and then finish off with some slow motion so the things you always want to look out for are the image stabilization and the color quality both of these cameras the galaxy s7 and the lumia 950xl have the OIS image stabilizing on the rear cameras so both of these 4k images should be pretty stable the lumia 950xl also let me enable some digital image stabilization which is the same thing as that E is that the Nexus 6p has it takes that oh is the hardware image stabilization and doubles up on it with the EIS we're going to take this 4k image and zoom in on those snowmobile tracks up at the top of the mountain that's pretty insane remember that both of these cameras are mounted to the same rig which will give us that same stabilization on both of them here's some close-up of the rocks one more thing we can check the white balance as we move up to the clouds get a lens flare in there so now we're in 1080p usually the phones have a little bit better time stabilizing while we're doing this which is perfect because I'm walking in snow now again so we'll check the image quality as I'm walking we'll run for a second found a cool rock for us to look at it seems like the lumia 950xl tries to go in and out of focus a lot more than the galaxy s7 so now we're doing the front facing camera the galaxy s7 is going to be a little bit bigger of an image but the lumia 950xl even though is shooting at 1080p does give me the option to do an image stabilizing digitally so we'll see the kind of quality between the two because the galaxy s7 edge doesn't have any image stabilization on the front-facing camera so it might not be as good as save the HTC 10 with the OIS on the front facing camera but at least it has something it'll be interesting to compare these two when they're back on my computer headphone quality I'm probably the only person on this mountain for literally 20 miles right now I don't think there's anybody else anywhere for the slow-motion test I was gonna get in the lake and flip my hair like you see all those girls do at the swimming pool you know in those Instagram pictures but then I realized two things one the lake is frozen and two I don't have any air so I got to think of something else to do for that slow motion test for the slow motion the galaxy s7 shoots in 240 frames per second while the Microsoft Lumia XL only shoots in 120 frames per second so the galaxy s7 is going to be twice as slow as the Lumia so we double the frame rate we're gonna have to give the slow motion win to the galaxy s7 but not everybody uses flowmotion like I mentioned in my last video beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that's where you guys come into play I'm going to leave a poll up in the corner that you guys can answer and say which phone was better the microsoft lumia 950xl or the galaxy s7 edge and then leave a comment down below why you think that camera did better take into effect the color the stabilization and the overall quality of the camera I'm going to go ahead and hike back to my truck and hope that I can wiggle it out of the snowdrift that I'm stuck in so while I'm getting my truck unstuck you guys should check out my Nexus 5x verse the iPhone se video and my HTC 10 verse the galaxy s7 edge video and if you're super bored and I'm still stuck you can check out the durability video for the s7 edge and the lumia 950xl I've done durability tests on a bolt thanks ton for watching see you again in the next one
