Review: tested Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Smartphone Camera

Galaxy S7 Edge

Samsung reveals the surprising duo at the launch of the flagship Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge in Barcelona, Spain, last February.

Instead of increasing the resolution cameras such as general market trends, Samsung actually reduces "megapixel" image capture in both phones.

Galaxy camera resolution S7 and S7 Galaxy Edge only 12 megapixels, lower than its predecessor, the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge.

However, that does not mean the Galaxy S7 and S7 Galaxy Edge be underestimated for snap affairs slingshot.

Besides the resolution is still very insufficient for all the use cases, this smartphone camera duo was able to produce beautiful photos in all conditions.

DxOMark also named Galaxy S7 and S7 Galaxy Edge as two mobile phones with the best camera now.

What catches the pictures? KompasTekno conducts a brief search on S7 Edge Galaxy camera performance for some time. The review can be seen below.

It should be added that both the Galaxy and the Galaxy S7 S7 Edge equipped with the same camera unit. Thus, the results of both were going to be similar.

The camera interface

At Galaxy S7 Edge, Samsung includes a complete default camera application but still easy to use. The application can be invoked quickly by pressing the home button twice.

The camera will be directly executed, even when before the phone screen is off or locked. This facilitates spontaneous shooting.

There are a number of modes that can be used by users, Mode "Auto" presents a simple interface and without further ado.

The downside (or right in landscape orientation) filled a row of the camera shutter button and recording video, as usual, the following shortcut to the gallery, switch the front or rear camera, and the shooting mode.

Preview Camera

At the top, there is the icon to set the aspect ratio, timer, HDR, and picture effect. The ratio of native to the camera image Galaxy S7 Edge is 4: 3, different from the previous Galaxy S6 has a native aspect ratio of 16: 9.

As a result, the Galaxy S7 Edge shots look more "boxes" and does not fill the screen up to the edge, both when viewed in landscape or portrait orientation (the phone screen has an aspect ratio of 16: 9).

Exposure compensation settings can be done via the slider that appears above the shutter button, after the camera to lock focus. This enables easy user set exposure settings if the image is too bright or dark.

Mode "Pro" opened a series of advanced setup options, including RAW image capture (with the DNG format) for image processing more flexible.

In Pro mode, users can set a variety of parameters such as shutter speed, ISO, white balance, exposure compensation, metering area, also focus manually.

Pro mode also displays little boxes are green in the middle area of the frame. They symbolize points of phase detection autofocus being active and capable of locking focus very quickly when following moving subjects, including when recording video.

The condition, the subject should be included in phase detect areas that are more or less in 50 percent of the middle area of this frame.

Looks like this Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017)

Samsung is preparing to step into the next year. Because the South Korean vendor is known to have set up a new mobile phone called Galaxy J3 (2017). Sightings smartphone beginners class was contained in document TENAA, a sort of post and telecommunications institute in China.

According to the file, will present two variants of Galaxy J3 (2017). That is the model SM-J3110 that possibility as well as the global version of the SM-J3119, version of the Chinese market.

Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) embed a Super AMOLED screen diagonal of 5.1 inches. The resolution of 720p (720x1280 pixels) for the international variant and 1080p on its Chinese model. The kitchen was redone in the form of a quad-core 1.2GHz processor, 2GB RAM and 16GB of internal storage, microSD slot is supported. The operating system is Android 5.1 Lollipop mentioned, which does not seem suitable for the naming of "2017" it, which should have adopted the Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

Samsung's smartphone photographic capabilities delivered on 8 MP main camera, which can record full HD video (1080p). Also the caliber 5 MP camera, which is placed on the front side for bed selfie.

As a supplier of daily power LTE 4G phones, Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) took the battery capacity of 2600mAh.

When you look at the specs, features and body design are applied at J3 Galaxy (2017), it seems Samsung has not made many innovations. Still lumpy looks like the Galaxy series A (2016).

Samsung Indulge Review - The First Ever 4G LTE Smartphone

The First Ever 4G LTE Smartphone from MetroPCS

The Samsung Indulge may seem like a run of the mill smartphone from MetroPCS, but the interesting fact is that it is the first ever 4G LTE smartphone to be released. While Verizon works on advertising their 4G LTE smartphones, MetroPCS has gone and released the Samsung Indulge. But how does it fare?

The Samsung Indulge is an exclusive Android powered smartphone for MetroPCS in the United States. The most interesting part of the Samsung Indulge is that it is the first ever 4G LTE smartphone available in the U.S. market. That's right, while customers of Verizon are still waiting for 4G LTE compatible smartphones such as the Motorola Droid Bionic to be released, MetroPCS customers can buy the Samsung Indulge right now and access the 4G LTE network. The Samsung Indulge could very well be a great competitive smartphone for MetroPCS to take on smartphones such as the Samsung Epic 4G on Sprint, due to its slide out full QWERTY keyboard.

Samsung Indulge Specifications:

The Samsung Indulge has the usual candy bar design with a 3.5 inch LCD capacitive touchscreen dominating the front. It also has rounded corners, very reminiscent of the other Samsung Galaxy S phones currently available. However, unlike the other Samsung Galaxy series of smartphones, the Samsung Indulge does not have an AMOLED screen, rather it is a regular LCD screen. It's still decent and images come up crisp and clean. Slide the screen and you'll end up with a full QWERTY 4 row keyboard.

Below the screen are the familiar four buttons for menu, home, back and search. Unlike the Samsung Fascinate or Samsung Vibrant, the buttons are physical keys, rather than touch sensitive. On the right edge is a welcome addition, a dedicated camera button along with a microUSB charging port. Opposite resides the volume rocker. At the top is where you'll find the 3.5 mm headphone jack and power / lock button.

Overall the Samsung Indulge has a very familiar design and is easily recognizable as a smartphone in the Samsung Galaxy S line.

The Samsung Indulge comes with Samsung's very own 1 GHz Hummingbird processor, which made its power known in the Samsung Vibrant, as well as the other Samsung Galaxy S variants in the U.S. The Hummingbird processor is more than enough to handle the preloaded operating system, Android 2.2. TouchWiz 3.0 is also included on the Samsung Indulge, though it is a bit of a lighter version. It's missing the media hub and mobile hotspot options that are available in other Samsung Galaxy S handsets.

The Indulge is smooth thanks to the processor and the light version of TouchWiz that works decently well with Android 2.2.

Like all other Android powered smartphones, the Samsung Indulge is easy to learn, use and master. The capacitive touchscreen is truly user intuitive and every action really does depend on the user's actions on the screen. In addition to the capacitive touchscreen, the Indulge offers a 4 row full QWERTY physical keyboard that slides out from under the screen. The keyboard looks very similar to the keyboards found on the Epic 4G or the HTC G2.

The keyboard, however, is a bit of a disappointment in the Indulge. While other keyboards have keys that raise above and are easy to feel and navigate, the Indulge has keys that are actually pushed in. The keys aren't raised on the keyboard making navigation actually harder on the keyboard for the Indulge. Samsung should have raised the keys on the keyboards for ease of use.

The Samsung Indulge's first and foremost feature is the speed.

compatible smartphone to be released in the U.S. market. The speed on the Indulge is comparable to the Samsung Epic 4G but not quite to the level of a myTouch 4G. MetroPCS has done a great job raising their 4G awareness and spreading their 4G network footprint in the U.S. It's quite odd that the Samsung Indulge hasn't had as much hype around the fact that it's the first ever 4G LTE smartphone, as Verizon has done with smartphones such as the HTC Thunderbolt.

On the back, resides the 3.2 megapixel camera. It's not the worst camera available but compared to the 5 to 8 megapixel packing smartphones, the Samsung Indulge does disappoint. Clocking in at around $400, the Samsung Indulge is a fairly expensive smartphone, and it's definitely disappointing to see it lack in the camera department. It's also disappointing to see that a 4G smartphone doesn't have a front facing camera. It's almost become key for 4G smartphones to offer front facing cameras to really help customer utilize the 4G network for video chatting.

Overall, outside of the speed levels offered on the 4G LTE network from MetroPCS, the features on the Samsung Indulge do actually disappoint a bit.

Overall the Samsung Indulge ranks in as an 'Average' smartphone. While it is the first ever 4G LTE smartphone, the Indulge really doesn't spout the high end features that are expected from a 4G smartphone. It's great that MetroPCS is aiming for the higher end data consumers with their 4G network, but the Samsung Indulge seems to lack the qualities associated with higher end smartphones that use the higher end data plans. The sorely lacking full QWERTY keyboard, the disappointing camera and the lack of a front facing camera make you wonder if the Indulge is a 4G smartphone. However, the actual network speed, the clean design and the fast processor do help to make up for those cons, but ultimately the Samsung Indulge remains an average smartphone.
