May be the best camera phone of the year: SAMSUNG Samsung Galaxy Note 7

I remember that almost six months ago, when I first started with the S7 edge, I said that this year's best camera phone may be it. In the six months, I kept taking pictures with the S7 edge, and even used it as a main machine when traveling. Fortunately, the S7 edge has not lived up to my expectations of it, so I have a higher expectation of the level of camera photography.


On Friday, Note 7 was officially released in the country. As Samsung’s flagship of the year, how much has Change 7 changed in photographing?

During the six months of taking photos with the S7 edge, I feel that the biggest dissatisfaction is software. Say that Samsung is to show off technology, or in order to allow ordinary users to agree with the mobile phone's night shot effect is better, I think the S7 edge has been exposed in the exposure tendency. So that when I was not in the picture, I would choose the professional mode and shoot 0.3-0.7 EV to achieve a more normal exposure.

In the Note 7 camera, the hardware is as good as ever, and the software has been improved a lot. For example, exposure compensation can also be adjusted in the fully automatic mode. This is actually very important, although professional mode can also be adjusted, but the professional mode, of course, from the camera efficiency can not be compared with the fully automatic mode, and the professional mode does not have HDR (high dynamic mode) options.

Note 7 The method of entering professional mode is also faster. Open the camera interface and slide left to enter the mode selection. Swipe right to enter the filter selection. Sliding up and down can directly switch the front and rear camera, self-timer is also very convenient.

In professional mode, the setting of parameters is also more intuitive. In particular, the color temperature can be directly adjusted according to the Kelvin number, and the ISO minimum is still 50.

The photo deformation correction has been added to the setting by default. The auto focus tracking mode can also choose whether to open it.

However, Note 7 is a bit weaker in terms of the ease of setting, which is the proportion of photos. Before on the S7 edge, the photo scale can be directly selected on the left menu bar of the shooting interface, but now you need to open the settings - the picture size can be selected, this is a backward step. If you need to take a square composition photo, you need several more steps.

If you shoot RAW, you can only save it in the built-in memory. However, Note 7's built-in storage has 64G, and the top version of 128G may be available in the future, so the built-in storage space is not as tight as the S7 edge.

Let's take a look at real shots. The following photographs were taken with Note 7 and are no thumbnails.

There is no need to say much about the outdoor lighting, because if the quality of the photos in this environment is not good, then do not take pictures. .

The Note 7 camera has automatic HDR turned on by default, and the effect is very natural, so I basically start the automatic HDR mode for a long time.

Even in extreme light conditions, Note 7 has a very good performance.

Especially the following one, it looks good?

In the same environment, I also took a photo with the iPhone 6s. The purple border was terrible.

The focus speed of Note 7 is always as fast as it used to be. It is very suitable for capturing after familiar operation. For example, take this lively and unmoving child. .

It is almost constant at all times, and if the focusing speed is not fast enough, there is basically no clear hope. .

When the light is good, the details of the photo are also very rich. The 100% magnification of the top two photos was cut. As a photo of the “Mao Mao Party”, I said that the mobile phone has such a level of comfort.

In low light and indoor, Note 7 still continues the excellent dark light shooting effect of the S7 edge, and the exposure judgment is more accurate, so it is not necessary to adjust the exposure too much.

Since Note 7 still carries a wide-angle lens, it will have a slightly exaggerated perspective effect when it is close up, which is a normal wide-angle perspective. So you can focus on eating, drinking, and drinking.

Samsung put beauty settings directly on Note 7's default camera homepage, showing its emphasis on portraits and selfies. The actual shooting results are also quite good. And the scene light is complex, and Note 7 is still accurate in determining white balance.

Because I never took a selfie myself, I took two friends to take a selfie with Note 7.

Finally, as the most powerful competitor in the photo shoot, Apple sent an invitation to the press conference last night.


I do not know the new iPhone's camera level can be improved to what extent? Let us wait and see.
