**Camera Comparison: Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus vs OnePlus 6**

In this camera comparison, we'll be pitting the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus against the OnePlus 6 to see which one comes out on top. The Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus is a high-end smartphone with a quad HD+ display, while the OnePlus 6 has a slightly less impressive display, but still offers a wide field of view.

As you can see, the camera comparison starts with a shot of both phones held at arm's length. On the left, we have the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus, and on the right, we have the OnePlus 6. While both phones are being shot at full HD 1080p, the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus has a slightly wider field of view due to its wider aspect ratio.

On closer inspection, you can see that the camera lens is slightly smaller on the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus compared to the OnePlus 6. However, it's worth noting that the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus can shoot at quad HD resolution, while the OnePlus 6 is limited to full HD. Additionally, when shooting in quad HD, the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus loses stabilization.

**Portrait Mode**

One of the standout features of both phones is their portrait mode capabilities. When using live focus on the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus, it really zooms in and crops in, creating a more intimate shot. However, on the OnePlus 6, you get much more in the scene. As seen in this comparison, even when held next to each other, the OnePlus 6 offers a wider field of view due to its slightly larger camera lens.

This difference is particularly noticeable when taking a selfie with multiple people. The Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus may offer better low-light performance, but the OnePlus 6's wider field of view makes it easier to get everyone in the shot. Additionally, the colors on the OnePlus 6 are more pleasing to the eye, making for better overall image quality.

**Video Capabilities**

Both phones can shoot up to 4K 60, but as you can see, there isn't any stabilization when shooting at this resolution. However, when switching to 4K 30, the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus starts to show some signs of instability due to its lack of electronic image stabilization (EIS). On the other hand, the OnePlus 6 remains much more stable, making it easier to smooth out camera shake.

The difference in video quality is not dramatic, but the OnePlus 6's EIS is noticeable. When watching these clips back-to-back, you can see that the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus has a slightly warmer color tone due to its EIS. However, this may be an issue for some users who prefer a more neutral color profile.

**Slow Motion**

When it comes to slow motion, both phones offer impressive capabilities. The OnePlus 6 shoots at 240 FPS at Full HD, while the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus can shoot at even slower speeds, but only up to 480 FPS, which is capped at 720p.

However, when shooting in super slow-motion mode (960 FPS at 720p), the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus takes the lead. This feature may be useful for capturing unique footage, but it does come with a caveat: it can look noisy and less crisp than slower frame rates.

On the other hand, the OnePlus 6's slower frame rate offers more flexibility when shooting in slow-motion mode. You can record up to six minutes of playback at 240 FPS, making it easier to capture extended sequences without having to cut them together later.

**Conclusion**

So, which phone has the best camera? In our opinion, the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus takes the lead due to its two-time optical zoom feature. However, the OnePlus 6 offers more color accuracy and a wider field of view, making it easier to capture more in the scene.

Considering the price difference between the two phones (the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus is about $300-$350 more expensive than the OnePlus 6), we believe that the OnePlus 6 is the better value for money. Both phones offer excellent image quality, but the OnePlus 6's features and capabilities make it a more appealing choice.

**Final Verdict**

If you're looking for a camera that can handle low-light conditions and offers more advanced features like optical zoom, the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus may be the better choice. However, if you prioritize color accuracy, a wider field of view, and slower frame rates, the OnePlus 6 is the way to go.

Ultimately, our verdict comes down to personal preference. Both phones offer exceptional camera capabilities, but in different ways.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey guys i'm tom at the tech chap and I want to see which phone has the best camera the one plus six or the Samsung Galaxy S nine plus now to be fair the s9 plus is a lot more expensive so it's gonna be interesting to see if it does take better photos and videos what the difference really is now this first one are the merry-go-round on London's Southbank and my first reaction is it's actually quite hard to tell them apart I can't see that the colour on the ground is a little bit different the S Lions guy is sort of blueish hint whereas I think actually the 1 plus 6 has a more natural gray tone to the pavement even though the subjects who are moving everything seems to be in focus on both I'm think I'm gonna actually say the 1 plus 6 for the more colour accurate ground and once again it's yeah this is gonna be a tough one unless you're seeing something I'm not I can't tell these pictures apart it's too close to call I'm gonna call this one a tie this is my trusty gh 5 camera which I used to shoot on my videos what I would say is the Lumix text on the s9 photo is a little bit sharper snip clearer than the 1 plus 6 I'm gonna go with the S line plus for the slightly better detail in the shadows and the crisper text but then I'm gonna have to switch I can go with 1 plus 6 for this close-up photo where it actually looks a bit sharper on the 1 plus 6 the S line looks comparatively a little washed out is not quite as pleasing to the eye so for this close-up I'm gonna go one plus this is a really tricky photo we've got light and dark areas and I think the s9 plus is the clear winner it's much brighter there's a lot more detail in the trees and also on the pods of the London Eye which are much darker on the 1 plus 6 if you look at the sky in the background it's a deeper blue on the 1 plus whereas it's a bit warmer on the s9 and also looks a little less contrasting between these two I think it's a clear when it for the s9 plus so it's getting a bit later on in the evening I'm now at the pub as you can see and this is a really interesting photo because first impressions there's not really much in it again they both look great although the theme RVs 9 producing slightly warmer and also slightly less contrasty photos don't seem to carry on here especially if you look at the brickwork on the pubs and the sign but what I am noticing is if you look at the skin tones on the people at the bottom-left the woman and the man's legs on the oneplus are much more color accurate the highlights aren't blown out whereas on the s9 there's much less detail there there's a yellowy warm it into it and it's just too bright so I'm gonna call this one for the one plus and I'm really struggling to tell a difference here what jumps out I suppose are the trees in the background they're more vibrant on the s9 again a little warmer but between the two I mean I'm looking at the bags and the foreground the skin tones that miserable angry looking guy on the left yes nice photo is slightly brighter overall so there's a little bit more detail in the shadows but really I am just clutching at straws on this one I'm gonna call that time now this is interesting because on the face of it there's not a huge amount between them they're both great photos but if you look at the ladies jacket especially below the bag you can see a lot more detail on a jacket itself in the S lines photo whereas it's a bit more blurry on the 1 plus 6 but having said that the way out sign at the top right the photo looks better on the 1 plus the highlights are a little bit blown out on the S line plus but between these two because of the extra detail I'm gonna go with the s9 so this is where things get interesting it's a low-light scenario we're in a bar the logos on the taps are blown out on both the skin tones are very very similar there's a good amount of detail on the text and the chalkboards again do tell me if I'm missing something here while you completely disagree in the comments but I'm gonna call this one a draw which I didn't think I would be this picture seems to carry on the same trends as the previous one for example if you look at the hair on the guy right at the bottom in the middle it's quite a lot more detail on the S line so the S line once again seems to offer greater clarity however if you look at the cocktail sign it's less blown out on the 1 plus 6 so it does suggest that even though the S line may be more detailed in some areas the 1 plus 6 can handle dynamic range between light and dark areas a little bit better now let's move on to the front selfie camera and there's quite a big difference here both photos are pretty good as we've got really nice lighting but there's a big difference in the skin tones and the detail the S line is just a bit too Brian a bit washed out I definitely prefer the 1 plus 6 here oh god this is a horrible photo but it's a low light example of the selfie camera and they're both pretty bad you can definitely see a lot more noise little bit more blurry neither photo a good looking and now that I am I really in this one but there we go but if you look at my jacket it is much clearer on the s9 there's far less noise than the one plus six so it seems in good light the one plus six takes a better selfie in low-light in bars outside at night perhaps the s9 is the way forward but what about the front cameras video well this is a test of that as you can see straight away the field of view on the s9 is so much wider so while it looks like it's right up in my face on the one plus six I'm actually holding the phones at arm's length so you're getting a lot more in the frame on the s9 which is quite good especially if you're doing a selfie with a bunch of mates so that's quite handy in terms of video quality these are both being shot at full HD 1080p although the s-line class can shoot at quad HD honest on camera but it does then lose stabilization so if I go for well hopefully you can see whether it's shaky or not obviously I can't actually see the footage yet so you could have to tell me they both look really good but I think just so that wide field of view alone in the assigned seems to come out on top here and as I say you do have a quad HD resolution option if you prefer yeah pretty good now let's move on to portrait mode and you can see straight away there's a big difference here just look at the field of view when you use live focus on the s9 plus it really zooms in it crops in whereas on the oneplus 6 you get much more in the scene this is another example of just how much more you get in the frame with one plus six and may have had a few beers at this point but between the two photos even though the s9 is slightly off center I'm gonna go with one plus six just for the sheer amount of extra room you get this is when the phones are held right next to each other and I must say I do also prefer the colours on the one plus six they're both great but for portrait modes I think the one plus six is gonna take the win let's move on to video both phones could shoot up to 4k 60 which is what we're looking at here and they both look good but as you can see there isn't any stabilization when shooting in this mode but if we then jump to shooting at 4k 30 well you can see a huge difference in a stabilization particularly the one plus six it must be using a is here electronic image stabilization as we are getting a slightly artificial look to the movement's but it is much more stable than the s9 paycheck quality is great on both although we can't see as I'm looking at the tree here the field of view is slightly wider on the s9 you're getting a bit more in the shot there's also a subtle difference in colors the s9 is warmer there's a slightly orange yellow tint to it but they both do look good here's another example of the difference in the stabilization they're both according at 4k 30 and while picture quality is fantastic on both I'm gonna have to say if you're going to use these phones to shoot video go with 1 plus 6 that stabilization is seriously impressive and finally let's talk about slow motion now on the Left we've got the 1 plus 6 shooting at 240 FPS at Full HD whereas the Esplin on the right is shooting at 960 FPS at 720p now the 1 plus can shoot even slower than that 480 fps but that drops it down to 720p and what's interesting is that even though super slow-motion is a nice feature to have it doesn't always look very good it's noisy and if you're in dark conditions it looks pretty rubbish most of the time I prefer the more basic 240 FPS slow-mo which on an one plus 6 you can record a full minute of which gives you six minutes of playback it's actually kind of hidden in the settings but you can enable just slow motion on the s9 rather than super slow motion so between the two when they're both shooting at 240 FPS at Full HD while they both look great but since the s9 plus does give you the option of super slow motion and also an easier auto mode for capturing it the s9 is the better option so then from what we've seen which do you think has the best camera let me know in the comments below for me I'm just really surprised how close it is if I absolutely had to choose between them I probably go s9 plus because you get the two times optical zoom whereas it's digital on the one plus six you get a few more options when it comes to slow motion but the one plus was offer more color accurate and when you consider the price difference and that the one plus six is about 300 350 pounds cheaper than the s9 Plus while for bang for buck I'd say the one plus six of the winner so I hope you found that useful thank you very much for watching and do hit that like and subscribe
