**Epic Super Surf Style Camera Comparison: Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge vs Google Pixel and Pixel XL**

In this comprehensive review, we put the latest flagship devices from Samsung and Google to the test, pitting their respective cameras against each other in a series of challenging tests. From indoor low-light shots to outdoor landscapes, and from selfie mode to video recording, we put every camera to its limits.

**Low-Light Shots: A Tale of Two Cameras**

The first test was the low-light shot, where the cameras' ability to capture images without artificial light was put to the ultimate test. The Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge took on the Google Pixel and Pixel XL, both with impressive results. However, while the s7 did very well in taking out those shadows, it seemed that the Pixel was definitely winning out here. "The Pixel is definitely winning out here," our reviewer noted, "and moving on to an indoor low-light shot... The s7 definitely winning out here a much brighter image it's a lot cleaner as well with less noise going in 100%."

**Indoor Low-Light Shot: Samsung S7 Edge Wins**

Moving on to the same test, but this time in an indoor setting, the outcome was clear. "The s7 is still king with more detail and a better image overall," our reviewer concluded. "Both indoors and outdoors and I think this does come down to the optical image stabilization and the wider F 1.7 aperture." The Pixel's larger pixels didn't seem to be enough to overcome the s7's advantage in low-light conditions, thanks to its optical image stabilization.

**Outdoor Shots: A Close Call**

The next test was the outdoor shot, where both cameras were put through their paces in a series of challenging lighting conditions. While both devices performed well, the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge seemed to have an edge, with more detail and better colors on display. "For outdoor images both were very very good but the Pixel had better dynamic range," our reviewer noted. "Once again HDR+ seems to be doing really really well on the pixel and it really does a great job of maintaining those shadows and highlights."

**Video Recording: A Draw**

When it came to video recording, the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and Google Pixel were neck and neck. The s7's electronic image stabilization gave it an edge in this department, but the Pixel's laser autofocus system proved to be just as effective in focusing fast-moving subjects. "For rear-facing camera video it was a bit of a draw I would say," our reviewer noted. "I would have to give the edge to the s7 also seem to have a little better dynamic range however for stabilization the pixel did do lot better."

**Front-Facing Camera: A Surprising Winner**

In the front-facing camera department, the Google Pixel and Pixel XL proved to be the winners. The Pixel's HDR+ mode gave it an edge in capturing detailed images with good dynamic range. "For selfies also had more detail because of 8 megapixels versus 5 megapixels," our reviewer noted. "And although the s7 did have a slightly wider angle hence the pixel did get the overall winner for selfies."

**Autofocus: A Tie**

In terms of autofocus, the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and Google Pixel were tied. The s7's dual-pixel camera proved to be fast and accurate, but the Pixel's combination of laser and phase detection gave it a close second.

**Stereo Sound: A Samsung Advantage**

Finally, when it came to stereo sound, the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge had a clear advantage over the Google Pixel. "For me and my ears the s7 definitely sounded a lot more fuller and more rich," our reviewer noted. "That's what I think anyway."

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, both the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and Google Pixel were impressive devices with standout cameras. While the Pixel was the winner in some tests, such as low-light photography and front-facing camera performance, the s7 had an edge in other areas, such as outdoor shots and rear-facing camera video recording. Ultimately, the choice between these two devices will depend on your specific needs and preferences.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up YouTube saccharin superstar TV and welcome to another epic superstar style camera comparison this time between the Samsung Galaxy s7 and s7 edge versus the Google pixel and pixel XL so in the usual style we'll be looking at both the front and rear facing cameras and then I images as well as video to do also look at for the audio icon in the corner of the screen and that will indicate to you which device the audio is coming from and I'll be switching between these two to give you guys a better idea of the differences in audio as well so we're currently using the front-facing cameras on both devices at maximum resolution so that's 1080p on the pixel XL and on the s7 edge it is quad HD so 1440p so you do have a high resolution on the s7 and s7 edge and we'll be switching to the rear facing cameras and doing lots of different tests including low-light so do hit that thumbs up button and let's get straight to it so now we are using the rear facing cameras on both we are forming at full 4k and although this video is exported out at 1080p this doesn't mean we can crop in further this is an interesting situation because we've got some light coming from the background so it should show us how well this can handle dynamic range now we're going to take a bit of walk at 4k and see how well these do for stabilization now to test out the stabilization using 1080p most cameras do work a little bit better at 1080p so I'm just taking a bit of a walk through this little passage here and let me know which one you think's more stable and what will now start to do is let's do a bit run to really really test these down now indoors under room lighting with the pixel XL and going from something that's close to far super fast very very fast and seems to be locking on focus really well same lighting with the s7 edge also super fast it's very difficult to tell which one is faster we've got do pixel to focus here which is still doing really really well difficult to tell let me know in the comments so that was the video now before we move on to images let's just get some of the details clarified the s7 and s7 edge have a 5 megapixel front-facing camera with an F 1.7 aperture the rear facing camera is 12 megapixels with an F a 1.7 aperture optical image stabilization and dual pixel to focus the Google pixel on pixel accel have a twelve point three megapixel rear-facing camera with an F 2.0 aperture an electronic image stabilization now the pixels are slightly larger compared to the s7 and s7 edge and we have phase and laser detection autofocus which work together the front-facing camera is 8 megapixels with an F 2.4 aperture once again with larger pixels now if you like the skin that I have here on the s7 edge and want to pick up one for your own device whether that be the s7 the pixel and iPhone or anything else then definitely check out our sponsor for this video which is d brand it's a great way to customize the look of your smartphone and I'll leave a link to them in the description below also disclaim our all images and video that you see have been taken on automatic I have not tweaked any of the settings and this is to keep things as fair as possible so starting off with a super safe style car selfie you can see that both are doing very well you've got a slightly wider angle of view on the s7 but the pixel definitely has more detail and a better dynamic range if you look towards the back the details on the house a little bit blown out on the s7 but those have been very well maintained on the pixel moving in 100% because you have 8 megapixels versus 5 megapixels you can also crop in much further and you have lots more detail you can look towards my beard and all of those individual strands of hair are visible here on the pixel so it is definitely doing a better job now doing a test completely outdoors in bright sunlight you can see that both once again are doing very very well but the pixel is edging out here because of the better dynamic range I just on a side note to mention that the pixel actually applies the HDR plus processing after the fact so what you actually see on screen will look a little bit different so before I took this selfie I just took a quick screenshot to show you what actually is displayed on screen and at this point I did think that the s7 was gonna do better but when I went and looked at the image in the photo gallery the HDR plus was applied and it did look much better on the s7 what-you-see-is-what-you-get so this is just something to bear in mind and if you do look at your screen and you're thinking hold on the dynamic range isn't so great on the pixel just remember that this is applied after the fact now doing a low-light selfie test so this is under room lighting the pixel once again doing much better here you've got a brighter image and I think the larger pixels are definitely helping here with the s7 there looks like some processing going on to try to make it perform a little bit better in low light now remember Beauty face was turned off on this so it's not the beauty face processing that's going on here it does seem to be some sort of processing that goes on when you take selfies in low-light so the when here would have to go to the pixel now using the front-facing flash on the s7 which illuminates the front display this is not available on the pic so I couldn't find it anyway and the pixel still performing better even without that front-facing flash now moving on to an outdoor image you can see that both are doing great here slight differences in color but we can see lots of detail let's go in 100% lots of detail here I think both doing very very well looks like the pixel has a slight bit more detail in the shadows and it is bringing those shadows out a little bit better but very very closely are both doing exceptionally well now moving on to a white outdoor shots here both doing very very well once again it's very difficult to pick a winner here the colors great details great and the dynamic range is also great on a both image is so to take this test a little further I went to a situation where we could test the dynamic range further and here the pixel is winning out the hdr+ is definitely doing wonders for it this is a very tricky situation but you can see that although the s7 is doing very very well to take out those shadows the pixel is definitely winning out here and moving on to an indoor low-light shot the s7 definitely winning out here a much brighter image it's a lot cleaner as well with less noise going in 100% you can further see this the text is much clearer on the s7 and the colors also better on the s7 you've got this sort of green tint on the pixel now moving on to an outdoor shot in a low-light both doing really well here but the s7 does seem to have more detail and the colors are also a bit better compared a 2d pixel and when we go in 100% you can see that there is definitely more detail here on the s7 and I believe the optical image stabilization is definitely helping here on the pixel it's not as sharp and although you do have larger pixels here it doesn't seem to be doing as well as the optical image stabilization and the wide F 1.7 aperture on at the s7 now finally looking at an image we're using the flash on both devices I think both are doing very well here things can come down to your personal preference like the colors a little bit better on the s7 but the pixel isn't as harsh so I think that's gonna come down to your personal preference so there we have it the epic super surf style camera comparison between the galaxy s7 and s7 edge versus the Google pixel and pixel XL I think both did exceptionally well to conclude for the front-facing camera I would have to give the edge for video to the s7 you had more detail because of the high resolution and also better dynamic range on video but for photos from the front-facing camera the pixel was a winner with better dynamic range because of the HDR plus mode and it looks like that is only applied for photos the HDR for video doesn't seem as good and these selfies also had more detail because of 8 megapixels versus 5 megapixels and although the s7 did have a slightly wider angle hence the pixel did get the overall winner for selfies now for the rear-facing camera video it was a bit of a draw I would say because a for quality I would have to give the edge to the s7 also seem to have a little better dynamic range however for stabilization the pixel did do lot better now this was a litte bit surprising because you've got electronic image stabilization versus optical but Google's seem to have implemented that really well and it did do a good job of stabilizing the footage now for the autofocus I would have to give it a tie I mean I didn't expect to be saying this because I really thought that nothing could match the speed of the s7 with the dual pixel to focus but the pixel and pixel weigh excel seemed to do really really well with the combination of laser as well as phase detection of the focus now for outdoor images both were very very good but the pixel had better dynamic range once again hdr+ seems to be doing really really well on the pixel and it really does a great job of maintaining those shadows and highlights for low-light however the s7 is still king with more detail and a better image overall both indoors and outdoors and I think this does come down to the optical image stabilization and the wider F 1.7 aperture so although you do have larger pixels on the pixel in low-light situations because of the slow shutter speed it looks like there is still some handshake there which does affect the final result so at the low-light a win it does have to go to the s7 for do I would have to give the win to the s7 s wall because you have stereo sound compared to mono sound so to me and my ears the s7 definitely sounded a lot more fuller and more rich that's what I think anyway what do you think drop me a comment below and let me know I have to say I am impressed with both cameras here and these two are some of the best cameras that you are going to find on any smartphone of 2016 Google have done a very very well on there are some wins for the s7 and some wins for the pixel so I do think it's going to come down to what sort of situations you shoot more as to which one of these will be better for you and hopefully this video has helped out in that if it has then please do hit that thumbs up
