Guess who has the best smartphone camera in 2016? Well, when it comes to video, it’ll be hard to beat the Galaxy Note 7! This awesome 16-megapixel camera shoots up to UHD quality video (3,840 x 2,160) with optical image stabilization. It’s probably some of the best footage I’ve ever seen from a smartphone and a fine example of how far mobile optics have come. Check out the above video for our Galaxy Note 7 cinematic camera test…
All of the footage in the above video was shot on a Galaxy Note 7 in UHD at 30 frames per second. It’s pretty amazing when you consider that it came from such a small camera sensor. The optical image stabilization on the Note 7 will drastically improve handheld video and photos. Low light performance is alright, but the Note 7’s camera really shines in appropriate lighting.
As mentioned, everything was shot right on a Samsung Galaxy Note 7 and then edited within Adobe Premiere Pro. When compared to other current smartphone video tests, the Note 7’s camera comes out on top. Recently, we shot an iPhone 6/6 Plus cinematic camera test and you can watch that video here, but the Galaxy Note 7’s camera is in a class of its own.
What do you think about the footage above? Do you plan on upgrading to the Galaxy Note 7? You may want to check out our full review before making a decision. Also, be sure to take a look at this full comparison between the Galaxy Note 7 and iPhone 6 Plus.
