iPhone 8 Plus VS Galaxy Note 8 Camera Test!

2017-09-28
what's going on guys to draft for Justin Sumer and today we're gonna be doing a camera comparison test of the iPhone a plus and the Galaxy Note 8 and these are probably some of the best smartphone cameras that you can buy today so let's see which is better so first up we're gonna take a look at this picture of re and these photos we're taking on the rear cameras and immediately you can see that these are both great quality photos that I still can't believe came from smart phones we're seeing a lot of nice color with both but looking at the iPhone you'll notice that it's got a bit of a warmer tint to it which you'll quickly notice as a theme here throughout the video but taking a closer look at some of the finer details you'll notice some differences in the shadows with the note 8 as it isn't crushing the blacks as much and happens to be a bit softer her curls don't look as defined as they do with the iPhones photo and what's surprising here though is that the iPhone seems quite a bit more vibrant which is not what the iPhone is typically known for while the iPhone is always taking great pictures they usually come out a bit neutral toned but this year they introduced a new color filter which is why we see the change now and with this picture we have a closer subject and just like the previous photo the iPhones overall image is a bit warmer and it feels like the colors pop out just a bit more but to be honest which looks better color wise is all up to personal preference you'll notice more sharpness in the shot taken on the iPhone again the rocks in the shadow for example are more clearly outlined than those in the picture with the note 8 and if I'm being real with you guys when taking some landscape shots I could barely see a difference between the two but when using the included telephoto lens on both phones that's when I started to see a difference again in color and a bit of the dynamic range you'll notice you can see more leaves in the shadowy areas on the iPhone shot and it also looks like the iPhone has a bit more color accuracy when taking a close look at that Cathedral in the background in reality that uppermost part of the Cathedral is a mate green but the note 8 makes it look a bit more on the blue side you can also see a bit more detail with the water droplets coming from that fountain on the iPhone and under note 8 the droplets look more like mist both are obviously still great photos that look almost identical unless you're really looking for the differ but now let's take a look at some low-light shots low-light shots are definitely impressive on both phones and when these outdoor shots you can immediately see that the iPhone is still staying warm which I'm not a fan of to be honest but as we've seen with previous photos you do get a lot more sharpness in details here which I think anyone can appreciate and if you look at the Statue shoes you can really start to see this in the iPhone shot you can clearly see edgings on the shoes and the shoelace loops but some of that is lost on the note eight shot but I think in terms of wins for this category this like many of the other shots is up to personal preference I preferred the note eight because of the color even though it lacked the iPhone sharpness and over here the note eight killed this indoor low-light shot while the iPhone is a bit more color accurate I just really love the look of the shot here that we got with the note eight this shot had no lights other than the RGB lights on the mouse and the white light coming from the monitor which it was connected to the iPhone showed the color from the monitor well but I think we honestly got a much nicer look from the note eight it also looks like we're seeing less grain from the note eight in the areas around the RGB lights it looks a bit smoother and it can be because the note 8 takes slightly softer photos but either way I think it helped to produce a better looking shot here now let's talk about that selfie cam and since I can't remember the last time I carried about a selfie cam outside of a review I'm gonna pass it on to Harry hey guys out here so it's very obvious that the front facing camera on the iPhone 8 produced a selfie that's way more vibrant with true blacks and a lot more detail my selfie on the note 8 looks washed out whereas on the iPhone my shirt color is definitely true to its color my hair also looks closer to its true color and my curls look way more defined thanks to that camera sharpness I would be able to upload the iPhone camera as is but with the note 8 I would have to bump the saturation and edit it to make it appear more vibrant and attractive you can even see the same with this selfie of me and Jed the iPhone 8 selfie cam is several notches above the no 8 selfie cam thanks to the sharpness and definitely the color and we even see the same thing in this low-light selfie of Gen overall the iPhone 8 is a little warmer but still sure to the actual color now when it comes to portrait mode on the iPhone 8 and live focus mode on the note 8 what is the mode that causes those photos to have those nice blurry backgrounds I think we can pretty much expect the same in terms of color temperature sharpness and dynamic range but let's take a look at the actual blur effect and see which is better and first off both of these photos are amazing and looking at them right off the screen of the phone they look great but when you blow it up you can see the blur effect isn't as smooth around the rim of the balloons on the note 8th shot the iPhone separation isn't exactly perfect here either but it isn't as bad the iPhone also got a bit blur happy around the word District on the street sign but the note 8 happened to come out even worse overall though for this being Samsung's first time using a dual camera system to create this look I think they did a great job I was able to get some shots where the blur effect matched that of the iPhone with very little imperfections what special about both phones in this mode though is the different kind of flexibility you get after taking the shot with a note 8 you can adjust the amount of blur in the shot which I personally think is amazing just in case the initial shot adds too much or maybe reaches an area that doesn't need it having the ability to adjust later is great with the iPhones portrait mode you'll be able to adjust your photo with Apple's new portrait lighting so if you want to give your shot a different look afterwards you can choose the one that you like a bit more and lastly let's talk about the video these phones are both capable of shooting in 4k and have optical image stabilization for smooth shots and so I wanted to test that out with my boosted board and from what I can tell the note 8 was a bit more shaky than the iPhone and had quite a bit of distortion in the dark areas and a bit in the sky with some shots but I didn't really see much of that with the iPhone there are a lot of things that can be based on personal preference when it comes to the cameras but from what I've seen the iPhone just performs better when it comes to video the iPhones are also equipped with quite a few more shooting modes when it comes to video so when it comes to flexibility it also beats out to know a in that regard overall though guys both are absolute beast when it comes to taking photos or videos and you can't go wrong with either and if you're on the fence about woods phone to get your hands on because of the camera I hope this video helped if it did be the cool guy or girl that gives this video a thumbs up and I'll catch you guys in the next so then it's your average consumer piece
