hey what's going on guys mark and sang in here from technobuffalo today we have a pretty awesome video for you guys today we're going to be comparing the galaxy s6 this camera to the HTC One m9 now as you know the galaxy s6 is rocking a new 16 megapixel camera in the back with an F 1.9 aperture with 0 is and a 5 megapixel camera ultra wide-angle lens in the front now the one m9 is rocking a new 20 megapixel camera in a bag and move the four old sure pixel camera up in a front for better selfies so let's go ahead and see which flagship device has the better camera so for the past few years HTC is always focused on its sensors and not the megapixels but we all know the images that the ultrapixel sensors produce were just ok now this year the company jumped back into the megapixel raise putting a 20 megapixel shooter in its new m9 and using the four ultrapixel sensors on the front a samsung on the other hand has always opted in for a high megapixel sensors though it's software is typically over processed a bit too much for our taste the galaxy s6 this year is rocking a new 16 megapixel camera in the back would it improve f 1.9 aperture just to let more light into the sensor and it has 0 is which the one m9 unfortunately does not have it also has a 5 megapixel camera in the front with an ultra wide-angle lens so let's talk about the camera performance first so with the galaxy s6 samson's put a lot of focus on improving the camera experience now if you double press the home button it'll launch the camera instantly and it is fast the one m9 has a similar feature when to displace turned off turn the phone in landscape mode and press the volume up button and it'll launch the camera right away it's not as fast as the s6 but it's not far behind despite the galaxy s6 launching faster the One m9 actually shot quicker compared to the s6 now in terms of autofocus both the One m9 and galaxy s6 are fairly quick both seem to hit focus right away though the one thing that the galaxy s6 has that the one m9 does not have is the tracking autofocus feature which constantly adjust is the focus as your subject moves or when you move the camera so in my opinion in terms of camera performance the galaxy s6 wins here so moving on to software if you've used samsung phones in the past you'll be familiar with the camera experience not much has really changed here there's still a bunch of tweaks and little settings you can turn on and off and there are all various shooting modes as well like Pro Mode which lets you take full control of the focus is 0 white balance exposure and more there are also new filters and effects you can apply in real time which looks great and works really well and I also notice that everything is so much cleaner and snappier this time around the heavy image processing has been turned down quite a bit too which is most definitely a plus for me HTC is you why hasn't really changed all that much either you'll still be able to change a few settings through the mini window that pops up to change ISO exposure and white balance but everything else is exactly the same as the one m8 and the sounds to the buttons there's not a whole lot of new features within the camera app you will find a new boca mode that gives your photos that nice depth of field look but all in all is hoping HTC would have added something new to the table just to make the experience much better so for me simplicity is key both you eyes are very simple but I'm going to have to give it to the galaxy s6 on this one software is a big part of the camera experience and the one m9 definitely let me down in this department there wasn't anything new to play with unlike samsung's new camera app there are new visuals throughout the app and to me the one m9 Sui just look very similar to the one m8 and it just didn't have that wow factor I just wasn't as excited as I was when I use the galaxy s6 so in terms of video quality both are able to film in 4k resolution unfortunately the bitrate on both devices aren't very high which means quality won't be all that great there's also a limitation on how much you can film on both devices when filming in 4k a total of six minutes on the one m9 and the total of five minutes on the galaxy s6 if you're not planning on shooting 4k and one film in full HD 1080p the galaxy s6 has an optical image stabilization so the videos are going to be much smoother and more manageable compared to the One m9 if shooting in 1080p there's also slow motion and fast motion videos on both devices with the galaxy s6 you can control where in the video you want it to slow down just like on the iphone 6 though the one m9 on the other hand slows down the entire footage and the quality just becomes really muddy no matter what lighting condition you're in so in terms of video quality I'm going to have to give it to the galaxy s6 on this one last but not least let's talk about the image quality now Samsung said the galaxy s6 is 16 megapixel sensor is the best in any mobile phone while HTC got back into the megapixel race with its 20 megapixel shooter looking at the images we took this past week the Essex images just look so much cleaner compared to the photos taken on one m9 the images we got from the one m9 were software noisy especially for a 2015 flagship device the s6 photos on the other hand were sharp vibrant contrasting and featured a pretty wide dynamic range though I did notice that the Essex tends to shoot a bit on a warmer tones compared to the One m9 schouler looking tones HDR mode on the Galaxy s6 is great too adding a pretty subtle effect on top of the image the One m9 s HDR mode on the other hand is just terrible images came out flat and the colors just looked unnatural exposure is also a big factor in mobile photography previous Samsung devices have tried with the exception of the note for handles exposure pretty badly and I'm glad to say that the Essex doesn't suffer from this issue however the one m9 suffers from this problem big time exposures all over the place to a point where highlights are clipping which is most certainly not a good thing when taking photos on a go so even if you tweak the settings on the One m9 the quality is just not up to par with the galaxy s6 in auto mode alas bigger megapixel count doesn't always get you better image quality talking about the front-facing cameras on these two the One m9 has an ultra pixel front facing camera and that essentially lets more light into the sensor which should help in low-light conditions the galaxy s6 on the other hand has a 5 megapixel sensor with an ultra wide-angle lens and to be quite honest I thought both were great despite the difference in sensors The One m9 I felt just had a bit of a softer look than the s6 is detailed shot but overall both front-facing cameras are pretty good if you prefer to have a wider field of view the galaxy s6 will give you just that the One m9 has a wide field of view as well but just not as wide as the galaxy s6 is camera now overall in terms of image quality i think the galaxy s6 wins this room and so to wrap it all up for you guys we ultimately think that Samsung is taking mobile photography to a whole different level now I know in the past that I bashed Samsung for its image quality and heavy image processing but the new sensor in software in a galaxy s6 just shows how incredible the photos can be same things doing a great job improving its sensors and photo processing and I think HTC needs to step up its camera game if it wants to keep up with the pack we actually have a gallery up on our site with sample images from both devices so make sure to check out the links down below that like button and if you guys haven't subscribed yet make sure to
