Slow motion on Samsung s8. Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus - review of new products from the South Korean developer
DxOMark experts tested the camera Samsung Galaxy S8, identifying the main advantages and disadvantages. Quality of photo and video cameras, capabilities, examples, competitors.
Samsung Galaxy S8 has one of the best cameras on the market mobile devices, and the DxOMark rating proves this. The overall camera score is 88 points. The score is calculated as the arithmetic average of the camera's photo and video scores. The maximum possible score is 100 points. Until recently, the Samsung Galaxy S8 was second only to the top one with a rating of 89 points. The situation was changed by the recently released HTC U11, which scored 90 points in the rating.
Galaxy S8 Camera Strengths- excellent autofocus, correct white balance, effective algorithms for suppressing noise in the frame. The smartphone takes high-quality pictures in any lighting conditions.
The main disadvantage of the Galaxy S8 camera, according to DxOMark experts, the same frame post-processing algorithms are used, artificially hiding “defects”, and thus the sharpness of photographs is reduced.
Experts confirm that the Galaxy S8 perfectly adjusts exposure and color in automatic mode. If a complex scene enters the frame, the smartphone automatically turns on HDR, resulting in less natural-looking footage. However, users even like this effect.
The Samsung Galaxy S8 camera takes high-quality, clear pictures in poor lighting. Photos are quite bright, detailed and clear, subject to static shooting. A slight movement or vibration of the smartphone itself (which is not excluded provided that the user is holding the device in his hands) will significantly reduce the quality of the photo. The pictures are fuzzy, blurry and sloppy.

Advantages of the Galaxy S8 camera:
- Fast and correct autofocus in all lighting conditions
- correct color rendering in most cases
- excellent exposure
- high-quality detail in any fragment of the image (lit or darkened)
- Low noise in flash photos
Disadvantages of the Galaxy S8 camera:
- reduction in detail and clarity in post-processing
- different sharpness in different parts of the photo
- very small details are not conveyed
- incorrect color rendition when shooting under electric light
DxOMark experts also praise the video Galaxy camera S8. Tests show that the S8 has improved video stabilization compared to its predecessor, the Galaxy S7. The improvement is most noticeable when shooting video in motion (there is virtually no frame vibration), as well as in poor lighting conditions.

With this review, Five-Inches begins a new series of smartphone camera ratings and tests. Comparisons, evaluations and recommendations for choosing are waiting for you best camera on a smartphone.
Hi all! Today we will look at the Samsung Galaxy S8. Samsung's flagships this year Special attention, Note 7 managed to tarnish its reputation, but despite this the company remains one of the market leaders. Or maybe it was the story with Note 7 that led to a strong desire to do something impressive. Looking at the Galaxy S8, you can't help but feel emotions.
Screen
The screen is main feature flagship, it occupies a little less than 84% of the front part of the smartphone and you can safely be sure that this is the near future of the entire industry. Samsung themselves call it an infinite display, which is true, although the same Xiaomi Mi Mix has the same 84% screen. Manufacturers are positioning this as a revolution or breakthrough. In fact it looks really good, the idea of curved displays is brought to fruition.
Technical part
Branded matrix Super AMOLED, with support for premium HDR technology, with a resolution of 2960x1440 pixels and an aspect ratio of 18.5 by 9.
The screen is very juicy, you can customize it to suit yourself. It is clear what it is if not best display on the market, then at least one of.
Protection
Gorilla Glass 5 glass, and display sizes are 5.8 or 6.2 inches. The two flagships differ only in diagonal and battery capacity, in all other respects they are completely equal.
Naturally, the most curious thing here is that with a diagonal of 6.2, the Galaxy S8 plus is smaller than the iPhone 7 plus, which has a 5.5-inch screen, except that the Samsung smartphone is slightly taller.
Another innovation for Samsung is on-screen buttons. At the same time, the home key remains, it is located directly under the screen, and technology for simulating a real press was added for it, similar to the Taptic Engine in the iPhone 7.
Why do you ask to press the home button with a strong press on touch screen? First, this way you can exit any application without pulling out the on-screen buttons. Secondly, this way you can turn on the screen when it is turned off. Third - according to double click The camera opens.
Where's the fingerprint scanner?
Where's the fingerprint scanner? He moved to back to the camera, it’s not at all convenient to use, and on the S8 plus it’s completely impossible, your fingers simply can’t reach it. And if you are also left-handed... In general, it was done extremely clumsily. But Samsung says that the fingerprint scanner has been replaced by a retinal scanner and facial recognition. In the first case, it is reliable, but does not work super fast. And in the second, you can easily get around, for example, with your photo. Therefore, a fingerprint scanner remains the best solution for now.
What else is on the case? A hybrid tray is located at the upper end. The power key remains on the right side. On the left is the volume rocker and suddenly another button that is responsible for launching your own voice assistant Samsung. There is no point in talking about it today, since it does not work in Russian and the application cannot be reassigned to a button.
The connector is located asymmetrically at the bottom end USB Type-C, 3.5 mm headphone jack and speaker.
Sound
The sound here is not stereo, but quite loud and clear, in a word, the speaker is good. Many will be grateful for the headphone jack; not everyone supports the trend of abandoning the mini-jack. On the other hand, the display is of the future, and the music is of the past.
What's included?
The phone even comes with fairly high-quality headphones from AKG, since Samsung was purchased not so long ago Harman Kardon. But such a promotion does not look logical, it was necessary wireless headphones immediately put into the kit. Well, the location of Type-C is not in the center, obviously will not please perfectionists.
The rear glass is also Gorilla Glass 5, but the side frame is aluminum.
It is glossy in all versions of the device, which in particular in the gray version gives the effect of cheapness. Although the black onyx color looks good. But in our case it was necessary to make a matte one.
Processor and memory
The S8 failed to become the first flagship with a Snapdragon 835; Sony was the first. In this version, the S8 will be sold in the USA, Japan and China. But for Europe and Asia it is provided Samsung Exynos 8895. Not everyone will appreciate this option, since Samsung often had shortcomings in its proprietary processors.
Samsung also stopped chasing memory volumes, so both models received 4 gigabytes of RAM, which seemed to be enough. But the phone works Galaxy level S7, or even a little slower. You have to watch it though.
Tests
At the same time, synthetics probably show top scores on the market, 174964 AnTuTu points and 6617/2110 in Geekbench 4.
As for the built-in memory, they saved money here; there is only a 64 gigabyte version. But they left a slot for memory cards, you can always expand it.
Camera
This year the Korean company did not pay attention to cameras either, leaving a 12 megapixel sensor on both models. There is no option with a dual main camera, and it’s a shame, because it’s from Samsung that we usually expect breakthroughs, although is this a breakthrough in the iPhone, the question is?
The photos are at the level of the same Galaxy S7, with two pleasant but! There is no distortion that everyone has complained about and no serious oversharping. Now the picture turns out quite clearly and not too compressed.
The front camera is 8 megapixels, everything is excellent, there are improvements and additions to the application. For example masks, as well as integration voice assistant Bigsby.

Example of HDR mode operation of Samsung Galaxy S8 (Off/Auto/On)
Battery
Despite the huge display, the battery is not large at all, 3000 mAh for the S8 and 3500 mAh for the S8 plus. There is a quick one wireless charger. By the way, buy more optional equipment For wireless you will have to separately.
As for battery reliability, Samsung now has an entire department dedicated to testing them, something that other brands clearly cannot boast of. But others’ smartphones haven’t exploded so en masse yet. Although here it is worth giving credit to the engineers, the S8 gets about 5 hours of screen time, and the S8 plus about 6, which is quite a result.
operating system
Galaxy S8 runs on Android 7.0 Nougat with a proprietary shell. By the end of May they promise an update to Android 7.1.1, where instead of Bigsby it will be possible to enable Google Assistant.
What's interesting about the system? The launcher is now similar to what we saw in Google Pixel, you can open all applications by swiping up or down. It's great that you can still swap the navigation bar buttons. Otherwise it's a familiar Grace UX.
The phone is protected from water and dust according to the IP68 standard. If it suddenly catches fire, you can always put it out by throwing it in the toilet or bathtub, for example.
Bluetooth 5.0
Another cool thing is the Galaxy S8 is the first smartphone with bluetooth version 5.0. What can be done about this? You can connect two headsets or speakers at once, this is really cool.
Are there phantom clicks?
Well, one last thing. Are there phantom clicks? This is important! It is clear that Samsung has worked on a curved display, for the umpteenth time, to similar problems there was no more. And it really got better, but there are still phantom clicks, although quite rarely.
Prices in Russia
Galaxy S8: RUB 54,990 Galaxy S8 plus: RUB 59,990
Colors
Colors: Black Diamond, Mystical Amethyst and Yellow Topaz. In the USA, for example, there will be additional blue and silver colors.
What kind of impression does the S8 create?
What kind of impression does the S8 create? Quite ambiguous actually. The screen is definitely very good, it looks cool, there’s no other word for it. After the S8, you pick up any phone and think: what kind of junk is that?! I had approximately the same sensations from the iPhone 4 when I already held the iPhone 5.
On the other hand, there is no revolution in the camera. We didn't get a metal case, and the fingerprint scanner, a separate issue, is inconvenient for everyone. In addition, the Galaxy S8 is far from the Pure Android that Google installs in its device. It works well, but not perfect, not fast, although you definitely need to wait for updates. And again you need to wait for something. Despite everything, the number of pre-orders in Russia breaks last year’s records, almost by an order of magnitude!
Eventually
The S8 will remain the main event of 2017 unless Google and Apple take a step back. And knowing Apple may be waiting for us new iPhone with the prefix S, with minor changes.
Samsung with its typical Korean vision, but once again becomes a trendsetter.
Quality and shooting capabilities are what smartphone manufacturers are looking for last years pay increased attention, but at the presentation of the new generation of top-end smartphones Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+, you could notice that little was said about the camera.
As it turns out, this is no coincidence. In hardware, the main (rear panel) cameras in the Samsung Galaxy S8/S8 Plus are identical to those used in the previous generation of flagships - Samsung Galaxy S7/S7 Edge.
True, there are suggestions that with identical characteristics, the S8/S8+ still received new sensors.
The manufacturer states that the main changes in the camera affected image processing algorithms and software.
Let's note some characteristics and features of the rear camera of Samsung Galaxy S8/S+ smartphones:
- matrix (sensor) resolution 12 megapixels;
- matrix size 1/2.5”;
- the presence of an optical non-switchable image stabilization system;
- Dual Pixel hybrid autofocus system using phase detection autofocus;
- equivalent lens focal length 26 mm;
- Lens aperture f:1.7.
But the front selfie camera is really new. The resolution has increased from 5 to 8 megapixels, and autofocus has appeared. Sensor size 1/3.6″.
Visual inspection
Unlike S7/S7 Edge, the rear peephole samsung cameras Galaxy S8/S8 no longer protrudes above the surface. It does appearance devices more concise. And in this case it is more difficult to damage the glass.
It’s interesting how this was achieved, because, unlike, for example, iPhone smartphones or Sony flagships Xperia, the camera is placed opposite the screen and it’s quite easy to “drown” it slim body smartphone is not an easy task.
Pay attention to the location of the fingerprint sensor. Such close proximity to the camera means that the likelihood of leaving fingerprints on the outer glass of the lens is quite high.
Shooting mode
The shooting mode interface has been redesigned quite a bit; owners of previous generations of Samsung smartphones should find it very familiar.
While holding the shutter button, you can now move it vertically. This provides digital zooming. For photography, the usefulness of this mode is questionable, because at any time you can easily “crop” the image after shooting, and when shooting video, zooming occurs, as before, with a two-finger gesture.
The screen of Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ smartphones has become much more elongated. The aspect ratio is 18.5:9. This led to the emergence of new frame formats for photo and video shooting for such a screen.
If you choose full resolution frame (12 megapixels) for photography, the image on the screen will occupy only a small part with large black fields on the sides (see above). This is due to the fact that the aspect ratio of the sensor is 4:3.
When you set the photo aspect ratio to 16:9, only a small black bar will remain on the screen, but if you select an aspect ratio that matches the screen, the black bars will disappear. In this case, of course, the frame is “trimmed” from above and below with a corresponding reduction in its final size.
There were few new opportunities. From what catches your eye is the addition of various stickers, stamps, “muzzles”, similar to those used in some third party applications and various messengers.
The appearance of the new Bixby assistant, which received a lot of attention in the Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+, was also reflected in the camera mode. The system can recognize captured objects and substitutes those found similar images from the Internet with additional information. The quality of the service is still far from ideal.
As before, you can increase the functionality of the camera by downloading additional extensions. But such expansions are few and far between and seem to remain virtually unchanged from year to year. Some even disappear sometimes. For example, an application for shooting spherical panoramas has disappeared somewhere.
The “Pro” mode, with the ability to manually control many shooting parameters, was left virtually unchanged. It provides a cool opportunity for various experiments. Enthusiasts should love this mode. In addition, the Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ did not deprive the ability to shoot RAW.
As for the slow motion mode, the Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ is doing quite well with this, but, unfortunately, there are no changes compared to the Galaxy S7/S7 Edge. When shooting in slow motion, videos are recorded in 720p240 mode (HD resolution at 240 fps). It would be nice to get a 1080p120 mode as well. This choice is available, for example, in the iPhone.
Time Lapse Example
There were mentions on the Internet that the Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ can shoot 4K video at 60 fps, but I did not find this. 4K video is shot at a standard speed of 30 fps.
With Tracking AF, you can select a subject (still or moving in the frame) and the camera will keep focus on that subject. The function is well implemented
Filming
The autofocus of the main camera of the Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ deserves only praise. Focusing for both photo and video shooting is very fast.
IN Galaxy smartphones S7/S7 Edge, when choosing to shoot video in 1080p60 format, the autofocus speed noticeably decreased. The same drawback is present in the Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+. Apparently, this is not a software flaw, but is associated with some hardware features.
It seems that even with HDR turned off, the smartphone camera tries to preserve more details in the bright areas and slightly “tightens up” the details in the dark ones. The difference between shots with and without HDR is often very small.
The manufacturer emphasizes that the Galaxy S8/S8+ uses a special algorithm to achieve good pictures even in limited lighting due to multi-frame shooting, when several frames are combined into one.
It should be noted that the work similar technology We noticed this in previous Samsung flagships. Whether there are changes in the implementation of this in the Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ compared to its predecessors is difficult to say without a comparative test.
An interesting observation: when night photography The image on the screen during sighting may differ noticeably from the final image in hue.
The trendy mode with the choice of focusing on the foreground or background with artificial blur after shooting in Samsung smartphones still does not work in the best possible way. Some competitors' devices implement this function better.
The smartphone often makes mistakes and creates completely unnatural blur.
If you want to get a blurred background, then with the Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ you can do this without any software tricks. By the standards of system cameras Galaxy sensor The S8/S8+ is small, but combined with the high aperture of the lens, when shooting close-up, you can achieve a very shallow depth of field with natural background blur.

conclusions
Generally Samsung Galaxy S8/ S8+ shoots very well. This applies to both photos and videos. 4K videos are very detailed in sufficient lighting. Optical stabilization, combined with good sensor sensitivity and high lens aperture, allows you to get good pictures and videos even in difficult conditions when shooting handheld.
The camera has many different interesting modes, designed for both beginners and enthusiasts.
There is virtually no doubt that the Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ smartphones will be among the leaders in 2017 in terms of shooting quality. The problem is that We already saw approximately the same level of shooting and a similar set of capabilities a year ago in previous generation Samsung flagships. But I want to get even more in new models.
It seems that smartphone cameras have reached some kind of development limit, and this applies not only to Samsung, but also to other vendors. Progress is no longer so noticeable.
A new generation of Sony matrices (sensors) with a three-layer structure and a built-in DRAM buffer looks like a fresh solution for smartphone cameras. But it seems that Sony has not yet begun to share with competitors, and such matrices are present only in the new Sony Xperia XZ Premium and Xperia XZs smartphones. It is difficult to say without tests whether three-layer matrices provide an advantage in shooting quality. But no one yet has such a powerful Slow Motion mode as in the Xperia XZs/ XZ Premium, with a shooting speed of 960 fps.
During the testing process, a number of comparative tests were carried out in different conditions and modes.

What's the difference between the Samsung Galaxy S8 and iPhone 7 Plus cameras?
iPhone 7 Plus has a dual main camera with a wide-angle (ƒ/1.8 aperture) and a telephoto lens (ƒ/2.8 aperture). This solution allows you to receive and also use 10x digital zoom. Both cameras have a 12-megapixel sensor. A 7-megapixel sensor (ƒ/2.2 aperture) is responsible for taking selfies (front camera).
The Samsung Galaxy S8 has a 12-megapixel main camera (ƒ/1.7 aperture) and an 8 MP front camera (ƒ/1.7 aperture).
The main camera housing of the Samsung Galaxy S8 does not protrude beyond the rear panel of the smartphone, like the iPhone.
Taking photos with Samsung Galaxy S8 and iPhone 7 Plus cameras
Color rendition
In terms of photo shooting, both flagships show excellent quality mobile photography, A final result depends a lot on the scene and software settings cameras.
In most cases, the image of the Galaxy S8 is more contrasty, bright and saturated, while the 7 Plus is softened, true to reality and natural.
The HDR mode is definitely better on the Galaxy S8. For those who don't know, a smartphone with HDR (High Dynamic Range) technology takes several pictures at different exposures and then combines them. best characteristics two photographs to create a single image.
In most cases, in the test, the iPhone's picture turned out to be too dark, while the Samsung flagship's photos turned out to be lighter and more contrasty.
Zoom and portrait photography
But in portrait photography, the iPhone 7 Plus is the leader. Thanks to the second camera with a telephoto lens, there is a 2x optical zoom, which will allow you to zoom in on the image without loss of quality, while the Galaxy S8 only has digital zoom. Also, thanks to the dual camera, the iPhone has the ability to capture images with the “Bokeh” effect (a clear figure remains in focus, and the background becomes blurred, just like in DSLR cameras). However, here you need to get the hang of it: the exposure does not always allow you to achieve the desired effect, the edges are not always clear, and the light and distance must be maintained. Also, do not forget that the “Portrait” mode is a software feature of iOS.
Taking photos in motion
When the subject moves intensely, both cameras capture excellent images. Of course, flaws may appear in both representatives, and here a lot depends on the time you press the “shutter”.
Photos in low light conditions
In low-light conditions, the iPhone 7 Plus lags behind the South Korean flagship “thanks” to more noise.
Photo on the front camera
The front camera of the Galaxy S8 is slightly blurry and overly softens the image when taking a selfie. But the main advantage of the “galaxy” is a wider viewing angle of the lens, which allows you to capture more space with a minimum distance from the smartphone.
But in low light conditions, selfies from the Galaxy S8 turned out to be brighter and more detailed. But don't forget that the iPhone 7 Plus display can act as a flash, so this nuance is partially compensated.
Shooting video with the main camera of Samsung Galaxy S8 and iPhone 7 Plus
Color rendition
In practice, when shooting video, the picture in the Galaxy S8 turned out to have more contrast, although less clear (slightly blurred), but this moment very much depends on the available exposure and lighting. The Galaxy lens has a slightly larger viewing angle for the main camera.
In turn, the seven with the Plus prefix suffers from gray tones and dark areas. Despite this, color rendition when recording video on the 7 Plus is more pleasant, although not always realistic.
Optical stabilization
Image stabilization on the Galaxy S8 works somewhat the best way than in the top seven. In low light conditions, detail is better on the flagship of the South Korean giant. In good lighting, you won't notice much of a difference.
Autofocus speed
In terms of autofocus during dynamic zoom and zoom, the iPhone definitely wins. The S8's autofocusing process is slower. But when an object suddenly appears in the frame (for example, on the right or left side of the smartphone), the opposite is true - the Samsung Galaxy S8 copes with this task faster.
Shooting video in low light conditions
In low light conditions, the image is more detailed in the S8. There is also slightly less noise in the Samsung, and a larger number of minimally illuminated objects are included in the image. But in dynamic scenes, autofocus works better on the iPhone 7 Plus.
Underwater photography
Underwater photography in bad conditions with muddy water without various kinds of accessories showed that the Samsung camera copes with this task better. Images are clearer and sharper.
In good lighting conditions and clear water, the image is equally good for both flagships.
Slow Motion Mode
Slow Motion mode is also good on both smartphones.
Macro photography
When shooting macro, the 7 Plus can focus closer to the subject.
Front camera video
If, when comparing the main camera of two flagships, not everything is so simple and the result largely depends on the scene, then with front camera everything is much more obvious. iPhone 7 Plus records richer, brighter images. Of the minuses - a large number of dark areas. The iPhone focuses at a shorter distance, but the autofocus speed itself is higher in the Galaxy S8.
Bottom line
The cameras in both smartphones are really good. Every year, manufacturers take small steps to improve the resulting quality of mobile images. new level. In terms of video shooting, it’s difficult to single out any of the flagships and you obviously won’t notice any obvious differences.
But when it comes to photos, the Samsung Galaxy S8 is clearly the leader. The images are of higher quality. The camera in the Galaxy works faster. There is access to RAW out of the box, while the iPhone only has access to . At the front camera higher resolution and slightly better stabilization and the ability to shoot in low light.
So if we discard the features with portrait shooting, double iPhone camera 7 Plus, then we give preference in receiving photos to the Galaxy S8. Let's hope that in September Apple will be rehabilitated and demonstrate a new technological milestone, but that will be a completely different story.
In recent years, smartphones have performed well in terms of photography. Previously, the South Korean manufacturer provided too many unnecessary functionality, but in Lately pre-installed application The camera provides interesting, convenient and useful options. This year's flagships are equipped quality camera, which in skillful hands can work wonders.
New camera app
Application Camera on Galaxy S8 Not much has changed compared to previous devices, but it has still been updated to make it easier to use. New option The layout of the elements places the camera's most sought-after features in the center. For example, you can now zoom when taking photos by simply moving the shutter button from left to right. Thus, with one finger you can both take pictures and change the size of the image.
What Each Camera Mode Can Do
Swiping to the right in the camera interface allows you to open different shooting modes. Among them are available following:
Bixby Assistant in the Camera app
Along with these Samsung smartphones introduced a new digital assistant called Bixby, which is not quite ready for work yet. However, it is with the camera that the assistant already works; we are talking about a function called Bixby Vision.
You need to press the Bixby button on the case. Point the camera at an object or landscape and the assistant will display related images and links to purchase the specified items. Bixby Vision works with a variety of objects, including cosmetics with stickers and electronics from famous brands. Sometimes the assistant gets things mixed up.
Bixby is included in the camera app, encouraging users to use it frequently, as well as physical button on the body motivates you to often ask voice queries. If you find its work useful for comparing what you see in stores with your own eyes with what you can find on the Internet, you can activate the “Quick Launch” option in the camera settings.
Using focus manually
Do you want to master the bokeh effect on ? Open manual settings, swipe left next to the camera shutter button and select Pro shooting mode. Here, click on the “Manual Focus” option and move the cursor until you achieve the desired effect. You will see green lines in the viewfinder that indicate what the camera is focusing on. After this you can take photos.
Activating Quick Launch
By default, Fast Startup is enabled initially. You need to quickly press the power button on the right side of the case twice to launch the camera application. You can use this option even when the screen is off. If you accidentally turn off this function, you can return it in the camera settings.
Galaxy S8 smartphones have larger screens compared to the previous generation devices, so reaching the farthest edges is not easy. For this reason, the shutter button floating on the screen increases the convenience of photography. You can enable it in the camera settings, it is located two lines below quick launch cameras. When enabled, the camera interface will show a floating button that can be placed anywhere in the Camera app.
Shooting video before taking photos
In the camera app settings, turn on Motion photo to record a short video before taking a photo.Quickly switch between cameras
The button for switching between cameras is located at the top of the application interface. You can also switch with a simple upward gesture in the viewfinder, which is convenient to do with one hand.
Use photo filters
At the bottom of the camera interface, where the shutter button is, swipe left to open effects. You can also get here from the “Face Masks” menu. There are many different filters available here, some suitable for landscape photos, others for selfies.Face smoothing
The front camera resolution of the Galaxy S8 is 8 megapixels, which is quite a lot. The aperture is f/1.7, there is autofocus, so you can safely use this camera to photograph yourself and your friends. If you're not completely confident in your beauty, you can use the beautification modes built into the camera app to hide imperfections. Click on the icon that looks like a man with long hair to open different variants embellishments, such as smoothing the skin, adding artificial lighting or eye brightening.
