Cametonophone models that have been discussed above are certainly worthy of attention. They differ in productivity, have different technical parameters, but each of them is equipped with a perfect camera using which wonderful images can be obtained.
Summary of the smartphone in more detail in this video:
But, each different cameras are different - and all manufacturers in need they assure that they are the best. How, in this case, choose a smartphone with a good camera - and not guess? We decided to check how actually the flagships of 2016 are photographed in different conditions of shooting.
To begin with - a few words about each of the smartphones selected by us.
Of course, when mentioning a mobile photo, a proud hashteg #iPhoneOnly comes to mind. And indeed, the camera in the iPhone is a cool thing! Matrix 12 MP and optics with Light F / 2.2, a supplemented optical stabilization system decide when it comes to shooting in any conditions.
You can remove with it only in mode - like this as an empty smartphone, because no manual control mode, nor even the most simple settings, is trusted. There are, of course, third-party camera management applications, but we estimate the custom version that the user receives without unnecessary troubles and searches. Therefore, we objectively think that you are more important - a high-quality instant photo with auto-tunches or the optionality of settings, for what is kind to go to smartphones on Android.
The Huawei P9 chip is the presence of a monochrome camera, but because other smartphones have it in principle, then the comparative pictures were not made. It is necessary mainly to make a picture more contrast and clear, especially in low light conditions. The matrix in both chambers is used 12 MP, optics with a luminosity of 2.2, so that the photos are well obtained and under relatively dark conditions.
There is a separate "Pro" mode, which allows you to configure such significant shooting parameters as ISO, shutter speed, and manually choose the focus.
SAMSUNG flagship cameras - have long been almost unconditional leader in quality among all smartphones. Samsung S7 installed 12 MP camera with extremely light-light optics F / 1.7, besides the camera is equipped with an optical stabilization system, so pictures at night - just S7 lip.
Setting options in manual mode is not less than that of Huawei P9 - with a certain proportion of knowledge about the photo you will get pictures on the head above standard photos in authoreme.
Sony is characterized by the largest sensor in our selection - 23 MP compared to modest sensors for 12-16 megapures of competitors seem to be the limit of the photographer's dreams, because it means better!
In fact, the camera is really good, but, like the iPhone, absolutely devoid of any settings, even in the so-called "pro-mode". The only varying setting in it is ISO - is displayed manually only at a resolution of 8 megapixel. And if there is a sensor on 23 mp, it does not want to reduce the quality of the photo to 8 somehow. So in the photos fully rely on automation.
LG G5 differs at once with two main chambers: the first, "most basic" - with a sensor on 16 MP and f / 1.8 lenses, the second, additional one - with an 8 megapixel sensor, intended for shooting panoramas through a wide-angle lens.
To please all customers if three interface modes - without settings, basic settings And professional. Pro-mode opens access to a large number of settings.
Testing
For the purity of the experiment, all photos were filmed in automatic mode, because the degree of configuration from Sony and iPhone is much less than that of three other participants in our selection, and we are interested in the maximum objective comparison of smartphone cameras.
We decided to check the four key areas of use of the basic smartphone camera - the shooting of the landscape, macro and the subject, as well as the portrait. By comparing the results of each camera for these situations, you can choose yourself a smartphone for landscape travelers, shooting unreal macro images or conducting an ideal hipster instagram with coffee and subject shooting.
Shot at night we did not turn on our list because for good results it requires additional accessories, and shooting from hands, even with good optics and photosensitivity, the matrix in the smartphone is still far from the ideal. Yes, and purposefully buy a smartphone for the sake of beautiful night shooting, few people will.
Scenery
With the scenery, the Huawei P9 and iPhone 6s Plus coped with the landscape - even with a significant approximation of the finished image of foliage on the trees, it remains clearly distinguishable, but Samsung, LG and Sony gave out a similar non-discharge picture.
Smartphone Huawei P9 Black
According to the direct quality of the picture in the leaders, the iPhone and Huawei are also the dynamic range in the photo is wider than everything, the sky is not crosslinked, and the shadows do not look with black dips, even without using the HDR mode. Such a picture itself is ready for publication in instagram without the use of additional filters, and in the post-processing due to the lack of perspirations gives a mobile photographer greater space for retouching.
Macro
With a macro-photo, all smartphones coped to excellent. The main difference was in the minimum focus distance - the first place was Samsung and Huawei, and then the Sony Z5 was ready to focus on all from the subject.
Samsung and LG show the most impressive results on the accuracy of focusing, sharpness of the photo and the depth of dark colors, and while the color rendition is the correctness of the samples of Samsung and Huawei. Auto-tunches in Sony for some reason have taken a photo oversaturated and too bright, so white petals have become damned. Perhaps this is a single situation, however, in the absence of the ability to set up the image, the authorship failures are extremely undesirable for the user.

Separately, it is worth noting that with manual focusing the picture in Samsung Galaxy S7 is scaled for right choice Focus points - so you definitely do not miss! Such a magic option does not offer any other smartphone. In macro-shooting, this is very important for the preparation of accents in the photo, especially considering the "habit of" smartphone to focus on or on larger objects.
Object shooting
With different values \u200b\u200bof the diaphragm, the depth of the sharpness turns out to be approximately the same, so the pursuit of the numbers in this case is a plus minus useless. Made of object photos are equally well separated by the object of shooting from the background, so the image is obtained expressive and volumetric.

Huawei cameras, Samsung and iPhone demonstrate the most high level Details and clarity of the image around the edges of items. The Sony camera is distinguished by excessive noise suppression even with a low ISO value, because of which, with a close consideration, the picture "floats", and Huawei in authored makes the picture a little oversaturated. Such small disadvantages are easily corrected if the photo is handling using almost any editor ,.

The LG and Huawei cameras first showed themselves in terms of exposure, avoiding unnecessary perspirations of the illuminated sites, though the first place for this parameter would still give the LG chamber for high-quality study of the shadows - in Huawei they were not so rich. When using an extended shooting mode, it is possible to eliminate this disadvantage slightly slightly decreased so that the photo in general has become a little darker.
RESULTS
