S7 vs S8 vs S9 - Photo and Video Testing

[@Gerryy8a]

Great video. My S7 is thankful.

[@marashah.ibrahim]

The S7 is when I started loving the Samsung S series, they're just blowing everyone out if the park since. With their amazingly beautiful and capable phones.

[@just_cade]

S6 was great too, when Samsung first started using industrial design on the S models. They also cleaned up the software a lot with the S6, leading the way to the UI we see on the S7, S8, and S9. Samsung is the best!

[@marashah.ibrahim]

Cade Del Rey yes, but Sammy effed up in removing both the water resistance and mmc expansion from it.

[@leonthesleepy]

Dont see a difference between all 3 tbh, a little bit of a color shift here and there but thats it. Its maybe a LITTLE sharper on S9

[@liammeyerphotography8974]

leonthesleepy and the stabilisation on the 9 is amazing

[@666bigl]

S9: Softer image more realistic colors more details in shadow areas due to f1.5 much improved video stabilization S7: Sharper image (which i like) oversaturated colors here and there (which i can live with) less details in shadow areas (could be better) worse video stabilization (here would be an argument for s9) the super slo mo is a gimmick which i wont use...

[@muhammadrianardianto6520]

@@666bigl the S7 can't handle the neon lights(which is I hated it very much), the dynamic range is also bad and limited for a flagship. I've made a match between both S7 and S9...the S9 is a big upgrade and always steps ahead against S7 in every eyes. but one thing I can assure you, The S7 and the S8 are the same.

[@truthssword8033]

@@666bigl Most of the time when the s7 wasn't regarded as well, like oversaturated colors...I like my sky looking better than reality on a photo. I don't mind. lol

[@DENicholsAutoBravado]

@@truthssword8033 But then did you notice the video at the end where the s9 took the cake for the shadows looking deeper in the video? I didn't like how all the shadows were lightened for photo on the s9, but for video it was the best, especially with the image stabilization. That'd really help on my channel. DE Nichols

[@ch1ck3n65]

I honestly dont see that big of a jump between the s7 and s9. All three phones take very good pictures and I'd be happy with the results from all three cameras.

[@LosBlancoo]

Ch1ck3n65 The jump is much more significant than this test may suggest especially in lower light situations.

[@iakwbosnomik8622]

Don't judge just by a simple video.. and always the defences look nearly 0 to an unexpected eye ;) . Yes the camera on the s7 looks already amazing and thats why the differences are very small to the eye compare to s9.

[@Sergio-bg1zu]

Fed ex Go to pro mode, lower ISO and slow down the shutter to ~0.3-0.5 sec

[@LosBlancoo]

Sergio Borromeo For better low light performance?? Is this what you're getting at?

[@DENicholsAutoBravado]

@@LosBlancoo I that's what he's saying yes. When I've lowered ISO on older Samsungs, it was hard to get a clear picture. You have to be extra steady.

[@jejunamja]

Way nice job...S7 owners can wait for the S10... Unless battery life on the S7 has become a problem.

[@AyAy008]

The battery and the software became a huge problem for me. Just got my Pixel XL 2. I already love this phone. I miss the screen and the design of my S7 Edge though. Also, using Samsung Pay without Samsung Rewards on the Gear S3 now.

[@jejunamja]

Aishik Ashraf ...Ahh.. the S7 Edge had a pretty big battery as I remember 3600 ? I would guess you did a factory reset and it didn't help but anyway hey... Enjoy your new phone.

[@AyAy008]

jonah travisano I know, probably I should've done a factory reset. But I was already very frustrated with the overall experience with the phone. Besides, my headphone jack, and USB port were not working (cheap to fix, I know). Also, the software lag. It was time for me to switch to something better. Hopefully someday Samsung will start using stock Android on their phones.

[@raymondip7862]

Wait one year

[@cwoza5]

You can replace the battery easy on the S7 and S7 edge easily. Plenty of videos to help you. Did mine in 20-30 mins...

[@Severo0007]

My S8 still very good.

[@liviarusu1391]

My S3 still rocks

[@truthssword8033]

@@AS-dm6of The biggest issue of the S3 at this point for photo quality is how well has the phone been taken care of than anything else. I had a newer phone a few years ago only for it to break and I went back to my S3 and my KZbin fans didn't notice the difference as long as I kept using PC software to edit the footage. The S3's processing power unlike the S4 limited video editing quality even when using the same app. Odd but true.

[@AhmadHasanSux]

I love your timing and coordination in these camera comparison videos between the time you show the shot, let the important part of the track plays and then you speak, it's a nice sequence

[@terrencebenjamin7241]

The s9 is too bright for my liking. But at least you can adjust the exposure so it’s not a deal breaker.

[@truthssword8033]

@@See6H12O6 But the s9 has soft mushy details under some circumstances...so...

[@truthssword8033]

Oh, but when I saw the video differences at the end, I forgot about all but the s9.

[@DENicholsAutoBravado]

@@truthssword8033 Yes, video is king for my channel to do well. It's all about cars and automotive. Plus, lighting can be tough under the hood of a car and the s9's ability to look into the darkness could really help see what's going on under the hood better.

[@amo_sounds]

For over 3 years I'm moving from my S7 to S9! Befor my S7 i had an S3 and my pictures were close to s7 results (obviously thinking about how the technology was at that moment.)

[@amo_sounds]

I bought an S10 lmao

[@DENicholsAutoBravado]

@@amo_sounds I just got the S8 active. It has a lot of S8+ features, plus a bigger battery.

[@Bullet730]

s3, s7 and Now just got s10e

[@Athaeus]

I'm glad they've finally started toning down their overprocessing with contrast and saturation. It used to look ridiculous.

[@kendokaaa]

Athaeus They also toned down the oversharpening but some now call the photos less detailed

[@Gravage]

We need to get you more subscribers. You do top notch work that deserves to be seen.

[@zackirstein9233]

The S9 has way too much HDR processing, it removes shadows when there should be shadows, so in some regards, it's less authentic than the S7/8. But I'm glad they have toned down the saturation a bit.

[@Awaks]

Zac Kirstein It's just having lighter shadows than the others....which actually equates to more of how they actually look at the scene....S7s & S8s pretty much did what the Pixel 2s do right now with shadows, and even colours most of the time. It's only a problem when one of the two does it tho...apparently

[@zackirstein9233]

At 3:01 the S9 is undeniably overprocessing the photo with HDR, there is significantly less contrast than the S7/8 because of it, which is a common characteristic of overdone HDR. Therefore for that set of photos, the S8 is likely the most accurate in representing the scene true to form. But yeah at 1:59 the S9 does a good job in capturing more details in the shadows under the bridge.

[@LgsPhotography]

HDR is an option, you can always switch it off -.-'

[@myomyataung8546]

Yeah

[@Sergio-bg1zu]

Naturally without HDR, the S9 already has a very wide dynamic range

[@iCoerceTV]

Why does this only have 1k views, there won't be too many other youtubers that will compare these 3 handsets. AND WOW I didn't realize the S7 wasn't behind in terms of processing photos.

[@DENicholsAutoBravado]

You called it. It has another 147k views since you mentioned it. Definitely a great video. I watched it multiple times and it was hard to find anyone else to give me as good of information. Like more tests on the rear facing camera. Seems Samsung struggles there.

[@OneFamilia]

Great Comparison!!! Very detailed and showed the pretty strengths and weaknesses of each camera... keep it up!

[@TheBlooRayChannel]

Yes, the S9 is clearly the better camera. BUT, only when compared to the others it stands out. The Galaxy S7, two years on has aged incredibly well and is a phenomenal performer to this day.

[@pyryleinonen9659]

TheBlooRayChannel it's crazy how low a brand new s7 goes these days i can get it for 300e in my country

[@avinashrai11141]

I think smartphone technology has almost reached to its peak level. I think all capture same shot with only difference is in image processing. I can take raw files from s7 can make it look exactly like s9 and there is some improvement but not in image quality but in stabilization and hdr processing and difference in night shot came from brighter lens and slower shutter speed which helps camera to keep ISO low on s9 compared to s7 or s8.

[@yann1600]

I will keep my s8 thanks for the comparison it's perfect

[@ciprigeorgiu]

S8 is best. Pictures on S9 are way to bright. HDR is out of control on S9.

[@lifestraight]

Stabilization on S9 better for doing videos

[@2006lilmoe]

Finally................ A camera comparison that actually matters. lol Like seriously, most of the people upgrading to the GS9 are going to be GS7 users. Thanks bro. I'll keep my GS7 for another year and see what Samsung has for the GS10.

[@mgsc7310]

Great video. I enjoyed the music as well. The S9 is better than the other two. But I don't think by the price difference for me. Others might disagree and I respect that. I miss the details that the 16MP S6 had .

[@TheBeggFamily]

I will be upgrading my S8 to an S9. I’ve had an S9+ before, but it was BIG. Thanks for the comparisons, mainly the video, as I’m a vlogger.

[@arktana]

Great video man! the best comparison I have came across. what about the audio recording quality (the sound in videos you record) , whats better- s8 or s9?

[@Knightmessenger]

Do you have a link where we can view the sample images in a photo album so we can zoom in up close? Otherwise outstanding comparisons.

[@myomyataung8546]

Am I the only one who likes Galaxy s7 and 8 photos better?

[@TankMaster1998]

Myo Myat Aung Ya I still thought S8 looked better in almost all the shots, even the low light shots when not zoomed in on shadows.

[@raymondip7862]

Myo Myat Aung Same 😂

[@truthssword8033]

I completely agree. Sure, the S9 looks deeper into the shadows, but I think that ruins the shots. Shadow is just as important as light when it comes to art.

[@truthssword8033]

But then I saw the end of the video and everything I had against the s9 in photo...well, the s9 took the cake. Shadows may not be as great, but if making great video is important to you like it is for my automotive DE Nichols channel, then I need the S9 over the others. The stabilization was amazing. Granted, most of the time when I'm manually running a camera even without stabilization I can make tolerable video from lots of experience, but if I'm tired I'm not as smooth and great stabilization from the camera to make up for that could save some shots which otherwise may have felt useless.

[@RealDaveTheFreak]

Great video since I am thinking of upgrading my S7. Though I'd really like to have a more in depth video comparison like you did with the photos (image sharpness while zoomed in etc.).

[@tbogdane]

i can't see big differences between S7 and S8, but between the S7/S8 and S9, there is some big differences in lightning

This is a real review. Keep it up man

[@kshitijshah17]

Amazing! My S7 edge still holds up so well. Gotta wait for the S10

[@fam.dezinger9244]

Does the S7 remember camera settings after shutting down the phone? For instance, i always underexpose -0,33. Do i need to change that every time or does the S7 save that permanently?

[@Teamshmo]

I own the S9+ and its a great camera if you plan on editing the photos later. It always captures the most detail. However, if you just wanna take a photo and send it to someone, as you can see, it adds too much exposure. Every shot is just a bit too bright. I also wish there was a touch more contrast and saturation.

[@veronikavartanova4044]

S9 has a somewhat raw, cinematic feel to it; like it's a better choice for further altering and color/contrast-grading of the image. I really like that.

[@babysully1791]

The S7 and 8 are darker and kind of dull I like the brightness on the S9 it's good for low light

[@ronaldofilho86]

S9 is better, but not more than double the price better! I would love to get a S9+ but the price is ridiculous!

[@krashpass]

Great comparison test, clear, to the point, and open minded. :) THANKS

[@pepe6666]

it would be cool if ya took video with the rear camera. and audio with it. everyone always misses these. still photos all look fine but the real differences in phones is with video and audio

[@noseyfuker]

smart phones camera's have come a long way in such a short time but that s9 is a beast=, it might not be the best at most things but dam its always 1st or 2nd no matter what you throw at it, i think samsung have perfected the best overall phone again, its amazing how they do it year after year and till still keep all the features of a top notch handset, it's a credit to them, best looking screens, still headphone jack, better battery performance, bigger sd card capacity,ip68 water resistance, faster internet, the flippin list just goes on and on..... amazing job samsung well done. oh and no stupid notch like other android manufactures are doing.

[@JoiseyRepresent]

Thanks for the comparison of the 3 cameras. Samsung did a decent job with the s9 but to me it is too often over-exposing the shot leading to the softer pictures that you mentioned. I'm also surprised they didn't give the S9 a bump in pixels to, say, 16mp just for the sake of making things seem superior to prior offerings...I would imagine that people grasp the benefit in increased MP over the change in lens aperture. Overall the S9 is the way to go in my opinion but Samsung didn't do enough to warrant paying almost $1000 to upgrade unless you are still using an S5 or S6.

[@TomoyaKun100]

S8 in my opinion looked a lot better in this video. I actually prefer the colors to pop out a bit more than being all faded. It also depends on what the focus that one is going for, which I think the video failed to show any focal point at all and lacked some other features. It only focused on general day and night pictures that utilized a bit more things on the inanimate objects. Wished this video showed people, the focus, the ease of use for the panorama, the food photo function, etc... Just a lot of general point-and-shoot pictures which doesn't show each phone in full comparison.

[@craigdavies1747]

Interesting. Glad I opted for the S8 on a deal about 3 months ago instead of waiting. Don't get me wrong the S9 is my next phone but not for a while.

We had a bit more tonight and I got one tiny star which I think was the north but I'm not sure. I was able to see the dippers but could not film them. To be honest I have for the first time the cheapest smart phone you can get. I now am sick of it and want a decent camera to send pics. I want stars!! Thanks for listening to my rant.

Do a comparison between the OnePlus 5T, Pixel 2 XL, iPhone X and S9+ for video stabilization. :) Especially on panning the phones often got issues with smooth transition from stabilizing a shot steady to a smooth panning.

[@edwardpotapoff3347]

S7 is the winner: 1. Takes more vibrant pictures during the day time 2. Did not like S8 in low light because of the weird noise. S9 in day light is crazy bright for my liking. 3. Price-value ratio of S7 is much better comparing to that of S9. You can get a used S7 in mint condition for dirt cheap comparing to S9. S7 is still quite powerful and should be able to do anything you need. To be fair, I have to admit that S9 has a better stabilization in videos, better low light pictures but is also much much more expensive. Therefore, get yourself a used mint condition S7 for the fraction of the price of S9 and be happy ;-)
