hey everyone Jimmy with Jim's review room several of you asked me to go a bit more in depth with the camera on the samsung galaxy note 7 now looking what we have here today I'll of course be focusing on the note 7 but also comparing some others that I own here at the Nexus 6p LG v10 and the note 5 I don't own any other phones at the moment as I'm seriously maxed out on my budget for now but hey some of you might still own some of these phones out here today but going into the experience in software first here Samsung and LG brands has the most options and features built in and most of these phones that I have tested so far during the video they loaded as fast as with each other here without a hitch however I did notice that random times samsung phones just in general for some odd reason they do slightly give me that hiccup or maybe a 1 second delay in opening the app from time to time now I couldn't get it to repeat that process during this test here but I'm pretty sure those who owns am cell phones you guys have seen it before but with all that being said this is where really Samsung shines both the s7 and note 7 as it had demonstrated in my most recent review the auto focusing system is the fastest that I've personally experienced and because of the auto focus alone it seriously redeemed itself from the slower load up like I said earlier for the average consumer that's slightly slow delay there to open the app for the first time it's not a big deal but once consumers are in the app man I can seriously tell you it's a serious difference and this makes for an amazing streamlined experience but let's go over quickly what features this has and towards the end of the video I'll show you some comparison photos as well first things first the note 7 s7 and the Nexus 6p does indeed take 12 megapixel photos while most other cameras aren't promoting a higher resolution of like 16 and up Samsung's defense or at least they're the only ones marketing this less megapixels means bigger pixels on the camera sensor in turn more light is captured in the end resulting in better low-light performance again I'll show you some photos samples later and see if there's a real difference or not now I'm not going through every mode here by giving you the biggest selling points if you swipe left here while in your camera app you can find pro mode or what some folks would consider manual mode now you can control your white balance focus ISO levels and shutter speed allowing you to get that perfect shot when auto mode might overcompensate brightness or overdo it on the ISIL levels causing noise in your image now also keep in mind menu mode does allow you to capture in raw file formats and for those photographers out there intending on editing in Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop this is the perfect option for you now getting back to the list air food shop basically blurs out your surrounding and focuses on your plate and virtual shot creates this somewhat 3d image where you can rotate your phone here around the object not a mainstream feature to be honest with you and you can't share this three image and have other users tilt their phone to experience it on their end so it's a little bit niche in that aspect briefly going into video performance slow motion makes it return however across all these phones here we're still stuck at 720p and not a full 1080 resolution similar experience with 4k it's across the board however none of these phones offers image stabilization at this high of a resolution so when walking you do get some jitters here and some camera bouncing movements now with all these cameras except the 6p image stabilization does work when you do select 1080p at 30 frames per second and as you can see here Samsung does an okay job with this not too much of a difference between 4k with no image stabilization but the v10 does a better job in my opinion the video quality between the two as you can see here is very much different but enough talking about video here let's take a look at photo since most consumers are using these phones for photo taking anyways in general Samsung and a consistent basis has been taking much more vibrance contrasting and at times sharper images and I'm using two dell ultrasharp here both monitors with factory calibrated 99% s RGB color accuracy for my comparisons here and I get it again the note 7 even over the note 5 simply looks better now some may argue the note 7 can look a little warm it's not perfect but overall average consumer preference I'm confident the note 7 provides a better photo overall with the least amount of retouching now for example and hopefully eco lies eradicated here but at Chipotle look at the lettuce from the LG v10 and now look at the lettuce I mean note 7 in person and Chipotle usually provides fresh ingredients here the Samsung had taken a much more accurate photo in this case my lettuce was definitely not looking nasty or yellow like the v10 over there but he'll G oddly consistently they would take a slightly washed out photo or a flatter photo in auto mode and again it's pretty consistent and for those with a note file the photo quality is very similar and you can tell only a difference if you do put the images side-by-side as I'm doing here but as stated in my note 7 review the note 5 at times would take a slightly more saturated picture at times not by much but it is there you can be the judge which one looks better the Nexus 6p I will admit does great with the least amount of blowouts of brightness and white balance as you can see especially the clouds yet at times it's underpowered in highlights causing a dim looking photo now when you look at the note 7 although there's a Sun blow out here again the note 7 is not perfect but again for the average consumer you know it's have an image that seems to pop more than the Nexus now it's more visually appealing now in addition the Nexus is showing its age as low-light performance introduced the most noise out of all the cameras that I've tested here and this is a perfect segue into Samsung's a low-light performance the note 7 does offer better color and brightness management and a slight improvement in offering less noise but when you do zoom out I feel like the color management and brightness levels are the features that really shines as the noise reduction was present but not as drastically done as I would have hoped nonetheless it's still the best performer no less and but not least here and there's front-facing selfie photos my apologies and events my face is plastered all over your screen right now it's not the prettiest thing I know but Samsung and LG offers what they call beauty face and left it on here in stock settings I didn't adjust it and you can see it smooths out the face pretty well sometimes a little too much so it does look a little fake but you can always adjust it or even turn it off altogether but we're again focusing on overall picture quality now as for the Nexus it doesn't have the feature at all so get ready here you're about to see my face in its most natural state and as you guys can see here I don't look as young as the other photos here but who knows anyways just like the rear camera it does look a little bit darker a much more saturated image and the images in general just much more closer up a more narrow profile now the note 7 in general and distantly did provide a better photo overall it's not perfect but one of the better performers out there and oddly I'd never noticed this after owning the v10 for all this time here the front-facing camera reverses your image every time here so it's a little bit interesting now last is the front-facing camera video performance I use these cameras in my vlogs before on my channel except the note 7 since it's still new and I can say next is the most jittery it does horrendous and bright light situations LG would be second but it did suffer from the bright lighting conditions as well and the note 5 and note 7 were nearly identical in performance so overall the note 7 to have easily be unbiased it's not a perfect camera but compared to what we have so far on the market over our performance it does very well offering some of the best shots you can get on a smartphone now as you already know Nexus Apple LG are all coming out with their phones this fall so be on the lookout I might do another one of these roundups towards the end of the year now let me know in the comments below which model phone you guys really want to see so that way I'll be sure to get that one like and subscribe if you haven't share this video to someone if they have a phone that I have presented here and add me on through social media you guys take care and I'll see in the next one bye you
