**Epic Camera Comparison: Samsung S7 vs HTC 10**
In this video comparison, we'll put two of the latest flagship devices from Samsung and HTC head-to-head to see which one comes out on top in terms of camera performance. We're pitting the Samsung S7 against the HTC 10, both of which have some impressive features that make them worthy contenders for top spot.
First up, let's take a look at the front-facing camera. Both devices feature high-quality cameras, but I think I prefer the S7 slightly. The flash on the S7 is more effective in illuminating the front display, giving you more light and improving image quality. While both cameras do an excellent job, I think the S7 has a slight edge here. It's hard to notice any significant differences between the two, but that extra bit of brightness from the S7 gives it a slight advantage.
Moving on to an outdoor macro shot, we can see that both devices are doing a fantastic job. The S7 is particularly impressive in this regard, with a nice shallow depth of field that looks very, very nice. One thing I did notice was that the HTC 10 has slightly less color accuracy, but again, it's not dramatic enough to really tell us which one is better. Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference.
Now let's take a closer look at an outdoor wide-angle shot taken with both devices in 100% view. We can see that the S7 does have a slight advantage when it comes to dynamic range, favoring the foreground over the background. Meanwhile, the HTC 10 is doing its best to maintain details in the clouds, but ultimately, I think the S7 comes out on top here.
I decided to test both devices again with another wide-angle shot taken outdoors. This time, I was paying close attention to dynamic range, and I'm pleased to say that the S7 really shines here. It's able to maintain a brighter foreground while still capturing details in the background – it's truly impressive. The HTC 10 is doing its best to match this, but ultimately, it just can't quite keep up.
Next, let's move on to low-light testing. We'll be using both devices under room lighting with some additional light creeping through the window. I'm pleased to say that the S7 really comes into its own here. With a brighter image and much less noise compared to the HTC 10, it's clear which one is doing better. If you look closely at the text in the photo, you can see that the 6,000 milliamp hour text is barely visible on the HTC 10 – but on the S7, it's crystal clear.
Finally, let's take a look at both devices outdoors at night time. The S7 has a brighter image, while the HTC 10 has a slightly more colorful one. If you go in 100%, though, you can see that the HTC 10 has a slight edge when it comes to sharpness – but again, I think the S7 is doing better overall.
Using handheld mode and taking photos of both devices, I noticed that the S7's colors were a bit more muted than the HTC 10. However, with some additional flash power, the S7 was able to come out on top in terms of brightness and image quality. Overall, I think I prefer the front-facing camera on the S7 – but again, it's not dramatic enough to really tell us which one is better.
For the rear-facing camera, both devices are doing a fantastic job, with impressive low-light performance. The S7 does have a slight edge when it comes to dynamic range in wide-angle shots, while the HTC 10 has slightly sharper images outdoors. However, I think the S7's dual pixel autofocus and brighter image make up for this.
Finally, let's talk about audio quality. Both devices are capable of high-quality audio recording, but I have to say that I prefer the audio on the HTC 10 – especially when taken outdoors. The high-res audio recording helps a lot in cancelling out background noise, making it a great option for capturing clear audio in noisier environments.
Overall, both the Samsung S7 and HTC 10 are doing an excellent job with their cameras. While there are some slight differences between the two devices, they're really not dramatic enough to tell us which one is better. If I had to give an edge, it would be slightly towards the S7 – but again, that's a very close call.
