Samsung Galaxy S7 edge comes with a new 12MP image sensor with f/1.7 aperture. DxOMark notes that it helps deliver accurate exposure even in areas where contrast is an issue. The highlight of Galaxy S7 edge has to be its autofocus. In our very own photo test, we remarked how fast Samsung Galax S7 edge focuses on to the subject.
It’s not just images, Samsung Galaxy S7 edge has scored 88 in DxOMark’s video test too. DxOMark has appreciated the camera’s ability to preserve details and produce accurate white balance.
Samsung Galaxy S7 edge’s camera is great but not perfect. It yields a yellow cast and clips off bright area under high dynamic range scenes. Samsung Galaxy S7 edge produces mostly punchy images with great contrast and high dynamic range but there is an artifact visible in low light, the only flip side of this camera.
