Galaxy S6 vs iPhone 6 vs HTC One M9 Camera Challenge!

2015-04-18
what's going on everyone it's your average consumer and today we're going to be testing the cameras of the iPhone 6 galaxy s6 and the HTC One m9 so I've got my buddies Austin and John and we're going to take the phones outside and put them to the test so let's not waste any time let's get right into it ok so I'm first up and I have the iPhone 6 so I've been using an iPhone for about six months or so by using the six plus so let's get the six to try first of all this looks really cool so one of the things I like about the iPhone is it's super easy to get into the camera app like seriously I can lock the phone unlock it swipe off and the camera app so it's actually it's really nice to to make sure you don't miss that moment oh yeah looks nice alright so I'm going to be using the galaxy s6 now can't Samsung has always been pretty good with their cameras a little bit sharp but I've always been a fan of it so I'm going to go see how it works out in the field so the s6 has a 16 megapixel camera like I said samsung has usually has tons of features on their cameras I found a couple that I like myself to test it out yeah pretty wide what'd you just do take a selfie yeah so this is actually the lowest megapixel phone in the entire comparison as this is 8 megapixels versus 16 and 20 with even though it might on paper only have like 8 megapixels the images are really nice and to be totally honest how often do you you know print a 20 megapixel picture right like you're probably not you're gonna be looking at it on your phone on your desktop something like that so feel like the lack of like crazy megapixels really actually doesn't matter in the real world I think this looks like a pretty good spot for photos there's a cool little feature where you can actually rack focus now that means you can actually control the focus using a slider so you want to jump into the pro section of the camera and then with that you get a ton of manual controls for someone who's familiar with using a camera this is actually pretty awesome use this little slider and I can control where the focus goes with this so for this shot if I really want to just get this edge right here put it right there and snap this looks like a good photo focus is nice and you focus is pretty quick mmm the shot solid autofocus pretty quick in that environment now while I do like Samsung's cameras they usually provide really vibrant shots the only thing is sometimes it can be really saturated so the colors might look a little fake if you're looking for something more natural but there are controls here so you can kind of mess with that if you want to go for that more natural look one of the things I found with a lot of phones is that it's really difficult to actually get like any kind of reasonable dynamic range without having to go to HDR so let's see what we can do with and without HDR right now so it's not a crazy contrast situation but let's see here so this is the non HDR this is with HDR you know what that's actually not bad I don't see a huge difference at all good job so let's see if we can get anything cool here I'll drop down a bit and down nice I'll camera play baseball nope so this will be interesting to see how much detail we can get looks like it's a little underexposed sweet Wow that is a tree right there all right we gotta get to like some pro level shots right now so auto-exposure is pretty good but it's not quite right but luckily I can just grab this little slider and do the adjustments I need and snap boom pretty good okay Matt count us down 3 2 1 walk we all go up to the tree guys everyone has to go get like a macro shot of the tree entry alright guys so now we've got all the photos on the laptop let's check them out alright so here's the first shot of the gs6 one detail yeah definitely a little blown out insta sharp everywhere yeah the depth of field is nice so it falls off pretty naturally yeah it doesn't look like it's just a straight yeah yeah you can see like it's a little sketchy up in here like that yeah it looks a little like Anna but I mean clearing it the phone you don't want sketchy follow I don't know push not come to the iPhone ah first of all white bounces way off yeah the way that's really good um I mean we've got very bit of detail but I mean this is what 8 megapixels it's not gonna be yeah okay that's not even gonna come close yeah I mean it's fine but you're definitely not getting anywhere near the same resolution and if you try to zoom in like I think from normal use apply I'm gonna notice it you try to like zoom in and it falls apart pretty quickly yeah you've got a lot more detail just a little scrub some of the m9 stuff this is kind of where it falls apart and bright situations oh that's yeah dude what is that colour the dynamic range is really bad here you're losing the highlights even the walls are pretty it just it looks like the colour is look I only know I gotta put my finger on that like the color which is like washed out and just hey look at that the fence is there like look there's no detail there what look look at this at all this is a 2006 full sensor there's no detail here whatsoever almost like a Photoshop like painting filter yeah it looks like an oil painting yeah dude this is terrible what is this yeah this is really bad alright so this is us walking towards the tree with the s6 it's like jello yeah look like the whole thing it looks like it's like a 3d thing that someone just like shit yeah work that chips out here yeah obviously look everything's just like pulling back the corners are terrible I don't ever want to see the m9 I would actually forget actually does the autofocus is nice though it was there was a nice smooth transition up the tree oh that oh this is with the iPhone 6 which only has 1080p right so the others have 4k options because those like things like stabilization or different options like you know visual stabilization definitely got a little bit of the same thing not as extreme it's nowhere near extreme but you can see like a little bits of like jitter yeah yeah all the slides that'll doing okay I was good pretty well too that was it was a little I saw like hit a couple steps though wasn't quite smooth I don't think yeah I didn't notice that the s6 focusing a nine-time okay first let's weigh hundreds but Wow yeah everything Woolery there's not the detail there's no no this is this is 1080p we just watched two other two I just think you have a hard time focusing no I'm not focusing on the other thing right now oh wow look at that that's trouble oh wow look look over its long man that is that is disappointing all right so what do you guys think I can down my losses I 9 is definitely out a simple the iPhone 6 and galaxy s6 kill there 9 yeah but what do you guys like between the iPhone and the galaxy s6 like let's talk about pictures first I think if you need that extra detail and crop yeah the s6 is nice protective extra megapixels hmm and if you want like that instant satisfaction of that's gonna look really good well now as soon as you finish taking the picture right it might be better to work with after right you bring it in yeah right use it editor I feel like the galaxy s6 like right out of the camera it's pushed to the extreme right like saturation stuff it's already cranked up quite a bit where's the iPhone it might be a little bit more conservative but that means that you had a little bit more freedom to make those changes that you actually want to kind of to fine-tune the photo so I think if you don't want to do a lot of work you can go with the s6 yeah if you have more fun and you like photo editing yeah if you want actually like get in there and tweak it uh what do you think about the video though I think that I don't think I don't know that fish in there I think that warp kind of took me off so yeah my vote goes to iPhone - yeah plus saying you have super slow to 40 fps right yeah and we actually Joe as a video app and the galaxy s6 does 120 and they'll just play it at half speed which looks 15 yes right it's just it's it's half as fast if you guys want to check that out I have a link to Austin's video down below in the description alright guys so that pretty much wraps it up um definitely be sure to follow Austin and John I have their channel links down below in the description check out the videos that we worked on everything will be down below in the description so thanks a lot guys face
