When a smartphone launches with arguably the most advanced camera module ever put into a production smartphone, you already know what the big question on everyone’s mind is: Is it the best? Is it noticeably better than the rest of the top dogs? Or is “variable aperture” just a fancy marketing term?
Well, we’re hoping to help you answer at least some of these questions. Welcome to the comparison you’ve been waiting for: Samsung’s latest flagship against the world.
“The Camera. Reimagined” is the big tagline Samsung uses for their flagship Galaxy S9 and S9+. Of course, Samsung’s new flagship smartphones do come with a highly advanced camera module that we’ve never seen on a mass-produced handset before — which I guess does count as “reimagining” — but what does that actually mean? Does the Galaxy S9 actually take such incredible photos that it deserves the lofty assumptions that tend to come with a “reimagined” camera?
Well, see for yourself, as we take the Galaxy S9 on a quick tour of Barcelona before we left for our flight home.
Leica Dual Camera 2.0. When you hear a sentence like that, it just reeks of marketing mumbo jumbo that’s designed to make you feel like a camera is better than it is supposed to be.
But is it? Well, we took Huawei‘s brand new P10 for a tour around the beautiful city of Barcelona so you can see for yourself whether this camera is truly amazing or just hyped-up marketing.
This is it, the boffins at DxOMark have put the Apple iPhone 7 through its paces in their rigorous tests and have come up with an answer to how well it stacks up against the other smartphones in the world right now. The answer? Well, it got the third best score DxOMark has ever given out.
You asked for a video comparison and here you have it. We put these four heavyweights in the camera department to the 4K video recording test. And while we understand that most people out there won’t have the technology to view 4K content, we decided that choosing the highest recording resolution for all four devices would be the fairest gauge.
