Thanks for all the great constructive comments and discussion everyone! Camera quality is comprised of many aspects, but in the end it really comes down to personal preference in what we each like to see. With that, I ask that we keep the comments to being constructive and appropriate conversation (i.e. no name calling or inappropriate comments please).
thanks for posting this video
after a long time i'm happy to see sony capturing the camera division again with a phenomenal camera system.... thing is that customers seem to be more interested in a beautiful photo than a realistic photo
the more they realise the fact the better the sony's future would be
+Tamil Selvan Thanks for taking the time to watch it
Grant S /화이팅!
galaxy s8 win the beat
Sony XZS has much better camera performance than S8. Keep it up 👍
Truly shows that Sony just lacks some marketing skills
Sorry. What dit you neam? :)
Victor Kisselev He meant that they're sales are bad for what they have to offer
Yep, its true. Its all about the services. :)
I dont know why Sony's keeping their smartphone game when theyre already excelling with their Playstation division.
Yes they sell but only in a few.
What if they just limit their expenses only to those who really want their phones?
Like in UK
And cutdown the cost with their Sony stores.
Their Sony stores here in the Philippines are quite big and a beautiful place to visit.
But theres always no people in there. Just their staffs and people who buy PS4s.
Yep, me too! I tried them its great.
Dont know why theyre still targeting markets who dont like their smartphones. Especially outside Europe which is dominated by Samsung, Huawei, Oppe etc. Especially in Asia
Sony is back in the game.
True
Definitely not with those GIGANTIC bezels.
i love these bezels dude....not like all others smartphones...
NekroMcFly it has front facing speakers so it's okay.
NekroMcFly the bezels are actually pretty useful at times. I have an S8 and I hit the screen accidentally ALL the time. For one handed photography and watching videos having space to grip the phone is a pro not a con.
low-light performance, both have wins and losses
xzs seems to handle light and dark scenarios easily very much while Samsung takes the better details in low-light
and sometimes, Sony has a better color but other times, Samsung look better
For the selfie-camera and stabilization, there is no contest, xzs takes the cake with its wide FOV
Thanks for checking out the video and for sharing your thoughts on the cameras!
Grant S By the way, is it video's rendering fault or the S8 video looked much more laggy (and blinking) compared to the XZs..?
Dude video on lowlight sucked on xzs
Enjoyed the camera comparison, you did it like a pro. Please make more of these :)
Thanks, I've done a few other too. Hoping I continue to get better. These are harder to do than I thought. 😀
Grant S Yeah I can see the effort involved. Perhaps simplifying a bit in certain areas and adding voiceover ipost production instead? Anyways keep it up, subbed ✌️
Thanks
Caleb Kan agreed! Great comparison.
Wow look at that inconsistent exposure of the S8
Is that the effect of Multiple Frame Processing? Very noticeable at the last part of the video on the front facing camera
Daylight - XZs (color is subjective, but detail is nailed it on the XZs)
Zoom - S8 (despite having more grain, you get more detail)
Color - XZs (seemed more realistic throughout every scenario)
Focus - S8 (slightly faster, but XZs focuses more accurately)
Stabilization - Tie (XZs looked more stable in daylight but S8 looks more consistent in low light)
Detail Photo - Tie (XZs for daylight, S8 for low light)
Detail Video - XZs (far more natural without too aggressive sharpening)
Sound - Tie (While the S8 is louder, XZs is better at cancelling the wind noise without a sacrifice too much for volume)
Video fluidity - XZs (S8 often looked dropping frames when you panned)
I'll give it to the XZs, but both are exceptional shooters
s8 clearly wins
Problem? Price
Zoom s8? Kidding dude? I dont like the blur u get on the s8 focus. But both are great when it comes to camera. But i would never buy the s8, the camera is the same as the s7, it has a smaller battery and no home button and a weird display. so you get black barrs at videos Samsung flopped for me at this one.
Batvolle wrong. so many diffrences between the s8 camera and s7. Also, s8 is the first smartphone with 10nm microchip(save energy) and that s why 3000maH is enough for s8 :)
color is definitely not subjective. its whatever accurately portraits the real life. Color has always been Sony's strong point.
also, video quality is always unmatched its superior on the sony in ever way including stabilizaiton
I felt sony is putting it's heart and soul completely in camera department, though S8 is close (it's ironic that both use same sony lens) it falls a bit shorter
They don't use the same camera module. The sony has a 1/2.3 inch sensor and f2.0 aperture, while the S8 has a slightly smaller 1/2.5" sensor but a wider f1.7 aperture. Also, not all S8's use a Sony sensor. Similar to the S7, some of them have Samsung sensors
xzs is the winner
s8 is winner
Low light sony lost , especially in video lowlight
@@girlsdrinkfeck s8 is loose
Sony xperia xzs FTW! Power of 5 axis for better video stabilizer although s8 have a IOS but sony still win. thumbs up for real sony fans. 😁💪👍
Sony is back (y) Love this phone , but I think that I'll wait for the XZ Premium
Samy Benz same
Finally I found a decent successor for my Note 5. Same here, waiting for the XZ premium
Samy Benz hope your wallet is waiting and ready too.
Great video man. Thumbs up .
Video Footage- (Daylight)
4K- Sony (Excellent stabilization)
auto-focus - sony.
Zoom - both performed same. Sony was shaky while zooming and Samsung's was noisy when zoomed. So it is a tie.
Front facing- Sony (Again stabilization)
Photo:
Daylight: Tie. Sony is more realistic, so shadows were darker (as it is). While Samsung produced overstated images but with good dynamic range. So it depends on personal preference. (I prefer realistic images from sony)
Night-shot: Samsung. (I'l never trust auto mode in sony for night shots). Samsung has less noise since it as lower 12MP, so it seemed better. But color reproduction on both was bad. Samsung produced washed-out colors while sony's was more yellowish.
Video footage (Nightlight):
4K- Sony (though it was dark). Samsung tried to brighten up and it appeared so noisy.
1080p - Sony. (Stabilization and colors were better).
Front camera- Sony again.
Selfie (Daylight): Personal preference, but i liked colors and details in sony.
Selfie (Night-shot): Personal preference again.
Stranger_in_black
Fair points, but for Zoom, I'd give the slight win for the S8 for pulling out more detail
For low light, it's the S8's game, but I'm kind of impressed at how little the XZs is far - usually low light shooting is a night and day of difference between Sony and Samsung, but it's getting closer and closer. Good to see Sony is improving. Hoping the XZ Premium with SD835 process things better
Thanks for checking out the video and for sharing your thoughts on the cameras!
s8 is best
The S8's autofocus was quicker
Simon But not so accurate.
This is actually the greatest XZs comparison video out there, I have been really considering the XZ Premium and could not find a good video for the camera comparison. You took your time and showed multiple shots in different conditions. Props to you dude, terrific video. Keep up the great work brother, you helped out a lot!
+xunit94 Thanks, and I'm happy you found it helpful!
In your opinion which camera did you find better? I personally think he Xperia is very poor in lowlight situations, as their previous have been, although improved.
XZS wins
wow the stabilization on Sony and pictures ..
really nice video. its Good to see a reviewer actually letting the video do the talking and we viewers can see which we think is best.. great job!!
Thanks!
damn the Sony crushed it. wow
+Total Tech Wow, thanks for checking it out TK. Appreciate that.
Sony FTW
No S8 for you Perry?
XZP will blow away the S8 but sheep will still buy Samsung with their inability to think for themselves
very true.
the s8 is barely an improvment over the s7 Samsung is just hoping the s8 redesign and marketing hype will carry them to their sales. Which it will.
meanwhile Sony actually innovating new stuff on their devices.
MrWalker1000 I come form a Sony z5 and just got a S8+. I just like the Display more. It's totally up to you to decide which design is better for you. Spec wise they are almost identical: xzp has a slightly better camera and a 4k display, s8 wireless charging and the infinity display
Onebeats infinity display Is a gimmick
brilliant motion eye camera!!! XZs is the winner!
Superb comparisson job dude! Other than 4k in lowlight, XZs really is IMO better overall on both cameras. That exposure control and color is superb on XZs.
Thanks for checking out the video and for sharing your thoughts on the cameras!
XZs for the win
Johnny Pigman hi
David Luiz Hey
are you waiting for xz premium
DEADLY HUMAN Yeah, even though I won't get it lol
But I'm still more interested on what will they bring at IFA this year, because if the XZ Premium and this XZs's incredible camera performance are an indication of Sony's comeback from learning their mistakes, then I can't be any more excited to see what they truly bring this year, given that Sony always brings the heat at IFA (i.e. Xperoa Z3/Z3 Compact, Z5 family, XZ)
I vote for Sony XZs
Just goes to show, my thoughts and demo on the S8 cameras are confirmed. It is NOT the best camera on the market, not even close on the rear camera. Even the G6 is better than the S8 Rear camera. This video shows the S8 getting blown away once again.
J. Williams agreed 💪😁
J. Williams - It all comes down to software algorithms because both phones use Sony's Exmor sensors. Samsung's camera software defaults to bring in more light resulting in brighter dark areas & it's front-facing camera is better. Sony's camera software wins everywhere else with better Macro, color accuracy, less noise (less grainy) & better image stabilization.
Overall, I think the Sony XZS is the winner in this head-to-head.
J. Williams nooooooooo
J. Williams thats not true or confirmed
No I would have to disagree about the LG G6 camera. Check the comparisons. The S8 is way better camera wise. There is something wrong with this video, if you notice each time he switches to the S8 voice-over it shows the true coloration. It's as if the video gets more grainy and brighter a few seconds after the voice kicks in. This is NOT how my S8 looks. Mine looks less grainy and less bright.
XZs winner
What's with the frame drop when panning on the S8?
I think the OIS software and hardware is too demanding on the S8 also the 4k has a jello effect
S Saini Yeah, but still weird, cause most flagships that I've tried and contains OIS don't have such issues
Johnny Pigman degradation would probably get worse reason why samsung put a 10 min 4K recording limit. It's a major issue not really being covered by major media tech outlets.
Jello Effect on 4k is only there when you have OIS + digital stabilization activated. Disable digital stabilization in the settings and the jello effect is gone but then the image is a bit more unstable.
It's pretty hard on the processor to let in all that data at once,
Why is the left side of the video flipped ?? We can clearly see that it is flipped from left to right, by looking at 'nba' on the cap, the wordings on your t-shirt (which are written backwards), the buildings and the surroundings. Why is the camera flipped for the S8?
*By the way, the Sony Xperia XZs is the winner 👑
The S8 was set to display as previewed which is why that happened. Doesn't impact picture quality. 😉
Thanks for the superb video! Just swapped my Galaxy S7 edge to Xperia Xz recently and couldn't be much happier, photos especially front facing camera are like day and night with a straight win for Xperia. And now I'm waiting for Xperia Xz Premium to arrive and this comparison you made S8 vs Xperia XZs is just what the world should see :) Xperia beats the S8 in so many aspects but the Samsung's marketing just make people to overlook such a things. if only Sony put more effort and money they could run the show in a smartphone war!
thanks once again hopefully your followers army will grow and grow!
Sony definitely needs to do a better job with pricing, marketing and working with carriers in the US for sure.
S8 offers a good low light performance but Sony gives you more detailed pics and better stabilization. Awesome. Better than Apple and Samsung.
+Leroyrs Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I can't thank you enough for finally doing a decent comparison between the 2 flagship phones! getting tired of people comparing the flagship s8 to the mid-range XA1/XA1 ultra 👍👌👏👏👏
Both cameras are great. They have their pros and cons. I can't choose the winner here.
+MultiDeivas I don't fault you. They both look good.
nice video. really shows the difference on both cameras. I like the Sony Xperia lineup (in terms of the camera only) because of the dedicated shutter button and half press focus.
Hi. This is an awesome consistent and fair comparison video. Really love it. One question, do u experience any heat up after recording in 4K on both phones?
I did not notice any heat issues, which did surprise me especially on the Sony as they have a history of overheating. The S8 has a 10 minute limit on 4k recording. I did several takes back to back, so it was at least 10 minutes worth of 4k footage on each device all together for this. I would need to do a continuous 4k recording to see how long the XZs can go.
Grant S i got heat issue on my xperia z2. i hope by this new phone sony have solve the problem
Several users using xzs still reporting the same issue. But glad you didn't experience it. Btw azizi muhammad what is the latest update do u get for ur z2? I just want to know how sony treat their phones after several years
Hariz Sharizal latest update 6.0.1 mashmallow.
azizi muhammad owh kind of sad. It's only 2 years right hm. I'm considering xzs, coming from opo, oneplus one. The fact that sony release their phones every 6 months bother me a lot, and so the updates
I did the same comparison last week and they both did great and was very hard to determine the winner but gave slight edge to Sony in camera department. Overall the S8plus was the winner but I wasn't expecting much from the XZ and it was actually pretty good. Sony is not extremely far behind I really wish I could go help them in some key areas they should improve. Marketing and looks being some main areas that alone would help tremendously!
why so many thumbs down truth is truth... overall the Sony would be my pick.. it is what it is Peace Bro, Great Job.
myproject13 Not everyone likes Sony. But what can we do? Haters are haters for life
Don't worry about that, people will express themselves however they want. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Grant S your welcome my friend ✌
sony has a better dynamic range
hmmm on the contrary, i think not. look at the shadows in 4:06, 4:12, 4:22 and 4:45 you can clearly see that S8's dynamic range is vastly superior when compared to XZp. but there's there's no contest when it comes to stabilization...XZp clearly wins.
That's because sony has more number of pixels, but this time they hv reduced it to 19 from 23. But the camera is much better on sony, becoz samsung is using last year's flagship sensor (which is also a sony sensor
jeff palima By the way its XZs, not XZp,,😂😂😂😂
vishnu menon what?..they have changed the phone?...😁😁😁
vishnu menon anyways, sony always has the best camera sensor since xperia Z1 but there poor algorithm takes toll on the image... hopefully they got it right this time. i want to upgrade my baby Z2 to XZp.
Don't forget the fact that the XZs and XZ Performance cameras have eliminated the rolling shutter now, greeaaat when panning video. :D
I liked the Sony better, overall for daylight shooting, but the S8 was better for low light. That said though, S8 low light performance in these conditions didn't seem particularly good either, it just seemed better.
+Michael Aguila Thanks for checking it out and good observations. Thanks for sharing.
Good job with this camera comparison, Grant. Sony took that!
+T. Frank Thanks T! Appreciate you checking it out. I'll take the word of a camera pro like yourself.
I don't know if you're just unbiased or other reviewers just makes the samsung look better. XD I'll subscribe best channel for reviews I've seen so far
Thanks, I just snap them and post them. 😉
best comparison on camera part . Guys at gsmarena who call xzs camera pathetic should look at this . . .
Lol, thanks
Thank for your review, I really like the way that you compare these phones
Thank YOU for watching it and taking the time to comment. 👍
sony won here . im an apple fan boy
s8 wins
Just Kidding
Wuuut.. apple fan here too! I like sony!!!
jake jackobson lol hahaha you are Apple fan boy so can't take s8 success
Wakas Patel
Or maybe you're a Samsung fanboy who cant take the XZs Win ?
That is the best innovative review I ever watched. Thanks a billion and keep up the good work!!
+Ahsan Junaid Thanks for taking the time to watch it. Appreciate the support.
Both are good. I think Xperia XZ Premium is finally better but some photos are better on Samsung Galaxy S8.
Thanks for checking out the video and for sharing your thoughts on the cameras!
Ah. there's that s8 choppy stuff. That's what Juan B was getting. Awesome video man. Again. Samsung needs to fix that Shakey video. That's not acceptable. I love the phone but damn. Thanks bro.
Thanks as always!
xzs for sure
Good job Grant! I think both are ok with some advantages over each other, but audio on S8 was better which surprised me. Sony's definitely improved and now among the best. Though I am not an expert for camera, and both would be fine for me. Again, you did an excellent jobe.
Goran Petrovic Audio is actually a preference here. While I do love the volume of the S8's microphone, XZs has incredible noise reduction for wind noise, hence why I could barely hear any annoying wind noise
Thanks Goran! They're both great with strengths and weaknesses. Sony has come a long way in their image processing and all around shutter and processing speeds. At the end of the day, they're both great cameras on these devices.
xzs destroy s8
best front photo and video camera and stabilitation.
best back camera Photos , video and stabilitation.
S8 have very noise and burn in
It really doesn't. Sony has never been able to make cameras that can compete with the very best, which is why they are usually never a part of camera comparisons, because they simply can't compete.
tv android were did you see that in you fucking dreams every single photo of Sony is to dark my s7edge will beat sony i love my s8+ one of the best phone till note 8 comes out
tv android In your dreams, yes
Sony cam gets destroyed in low light.
Agreed. Like it even in lowlight more, better wb, less noise. Only loses in 4k video lowlight. Maybe XZ Premiums SoC will be able to handle better ISO even at 4k
I had the Xperia Z,Z2 and Z3 and Galaxy S6..and now iPhone 6S Plus. I never liked the camera on the Sony, but this time I am really impressed. I am really surprised how bad can be the S8 in some situation. I think the XZ is winning in most of the situation. It is true that at night the XZ is not that light but it is more realistic than the grainy S8. I really like the XZ and I think I might get it soon. The 6S Plus is good in daylight but so poor in low light. Great review and well done Sony!
Thanks and I appreciate you sharing your thoughts on these cameras.
Have you tried the XZ? Same quality as the XZs or worse? Have you experienced the annoying: Phone getting hot after using the camera? thanks
+Jerome Henry In my testing so far the XZs hasn't heated up after shooting several videos back to back in 4k, which was a pleasant surprise. Need to try to record a long 4k video to be sure.
I think xz cam better thn s8
Great in-depth video Grant, i think Sony pulled all the stops on this Camera.
+ivan ojok Thanks!
its hard to pick which one is better than the other cause they have their own good
Dary David Yep, very true
True, these went back and forth at each other.
thanks for this comparison mate! i really like the way you compare them!! keep up the good work!
you just got a new subs!!
the black levels are really bad at Night in the S8
Wow nice. Man I want to get my hand one of those Sony phones. The camera is really impressive except for those light situations. Nice video comparison Grant (Ford GT)
+Andre Rivers Thanks Mr Ford GT!
Grant, excellent comparison video as always. The shooter on the XZs is fantastic. It looks like both cameras perform well and are a toss up depending on the situation. There were some shots where the XZs made the S8 look like a budget camera haha. Although the low light shots on the S8 come out brighter, they look a little overexposed compared to the XZs. The famous shot looking out from the fountain produced some insanely deep blues. Makes me think about my S8+ purchase 🤔 lol. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Reggie. I agree, these great phones went back and forth. I've learned camera quality is measurable, but at the end it all comes down to personal preference and what we each like to see and hear. Low light, some like the bright but sometimes over exposed pics, and others like photos with more contrast that may be darker and more realistic to the moment.
Thank you so much! Excellent work, its realy a high level of video review and so helpful, all clear and with right accents at the most important points of yhe cameras!!!
Thanks, much appreciated.
Sony all the way :D
you sir are the best. love how you make the comparisons and just subbed too
+konikuz Thanks, much appreciated!
Sony all the way😍
You got a lot of views Grant! Way to go and love the choice of music!
+Robin Ray Thanks!
audio : S8 little bit better for sure , VIDEO : massive victory for SONY :). great video btw
Excellent comparison man! Everyone keeps bashing on Sony cameras and they are never really highlighted. Pixel is still my favorite camera of all time but between these two if low light wasn't my concern i'd pick XZs as the winner. Great job
Daylight video - Easy win for XZs. Slightly softer but more natural details, and MUCH MUCH better stabilisation. S8 is utterly rubbish with its horrible jittery + choppy panning and a lot of frame drops.
Night time video - S8. Slightly better stabilisation and even though it is less natural, every object in a scene is clearly identifiable and I would take it any day over dark mess of XZs(even though it looks closer to what you see on your eyes)
Daylight still - S8. Much better dynamic range, but that's about it. XZs performs very similarly in terms of colour saturation and details.
Night time still - S8 all the way. Better details, more natural colours (XZs renders amber street ramps as being completely yellow while S8 shows it as containing both yellow and red light), better dynamic range etc.
Overall I will still take S8's camera, but XZs comes close - Now imagine if XZs had OIS and allows up to 1/4 of the second shutter speed... It would have been surely one of the best camera in the market right now.
Thanks for checking out the video and for sharing your thoughts on the cameras!
XtraGalaxy17 its like that on 4k don't know why but if you change it to 1080 p it looks fine no dropped frames or choppy video
This dude deserves more subs
+Ziad Thanks, appreciate the support.
Sony did decent camera this time . my Xperia Z3 was pure garbage
I feel exactly the same.
Dreamscape Actually, your Z3 only has poor camera hardware, but a good image processing
XZs's image processing is too aggressive at noise reduction and oversharpening that often results to softer photos in low light. Z3's lack of detail is from the 8mp max resolution for S. Auto
Wow, very impressive comparison video! Awesome quality on production!
Thanks, appreciate it!
that shitty stabilisation of samsung though. i feel i'm gonna throw up!!
Tyr ur just overracting.Noob
Tyr it was better then Sony's though
You are overreacting. Sony has the single best stabilisation in the industry, you will find pretty much the same level of stabilisation in every other smartphone on the market.
lol too many pissed crapsung fanboys in here
In my opinion , they are both great .
Great video mate.
Frontfacing Camera Overal Winner -> Sony XZs
Frontfacing Camera Stabilization -> Sony XZs
Frontfacing Camera fov (field of view) -> Sony XZs
Frontfacing Camera Detail -> cant tell from this video
Frontfacing Camera Lowlight -> Galaxy S8 (both video and photos)
Rearfacing Camera Overal Winner -> Samsung Galaxy S8
Rearfacing Camera Stabilization -> Samsung Galaxy S8 while standing with digital zoom Sony XZs while running (but its software so it crops the picture a lot)
Rearfacing Camera fov (field of view) -> Samsung Galaxy S8
Rearfacing Camera Detail -> Samsung Galaxy S8
Rearfacing Camera Autofocus -> Samsung Galaxy S8
Rearfacing Camera -> Samsung Galaxy S8 (better colors, more detail, more field of view, better exposure, but shakier)
Rearfacing Camera HDR photos > Samsung Galaxy S8
Rearfacing Camera Lowlight -> Samsung Galaxy S8
Audio -> Samsung Galaxy S8
Andonis Ratsos What? How does the S8 win rear facing stabilization when it's not moving and has nothing to stabilize? :p lol
just the camera comparison I was looking for, really complete many many thanks!! you've won another subscriber 😉🌸
Very nice comparison video brother, keep up the good work and like most have said already the Sony trumps easily. Sony just don't know how to market and make a big impression it's just that simple.
+Samson Okoro Thanks for checking it out
S8 win
mpeg jin seriously ??? bro ur fanboy detected
mpeg jin in dreams :P
mpeg jin please check out the "how to cure a fanboy" video
Thank you for the tests, very well done and informative :) thumbs up
+matthew ramos you're welcome
This is the best camera comparison i have seen
+Grant S, I do not know why, when you switch the Audio from s8 to sony and vice versa, the video at the s8 in a brief second turns dimmer (imo better image quality) wonder if that is glitch on Samsung or just bug on the editing of the video. Look at 8:56.
Really professional comparison, new suscriber hoho. Waiting for Xperia XZP. Keep it up!!
Very nice comparison, nice choice in music... you got a sub bro!
+ViktorHD Thanks, much appreciated!
thanks for video!, take XZs next month for sure!
Hope you enjoy it!
What a beautiful dog. And great review, you can clearly see the strengths of every phone
+Mengele4 Thanks, hard to do wrong sure either
Thank you for this side by side comparison. I am so tired of the treatment I have received from Samsung. Samsung customer support and loyalty is really bad. I'm in the market for a great device like the XZS that appears to be what I'm looking for. It's a great feeling finding other companies out there with great devices and treat thier customers like they are #1 priority. Great job on review! Liked and Subscibed.
+Karen LeGrand Wow, thanks for the comment and sub. Much appreciated. I've also seen other people not too happy with Samsung customer service as well. A bit surprising given the Note 7 issues. You figure they'd want to make it up to their customer base this time.
Really nice and comprehensive comparison. Simple and realistic
Thanks
Hi man! Great work for comparing the XZ premium and S8. I enjoyed watching it and just subscribed to your channel. I hope you could do more of this in the future! Thank you!😉
Thanks, I enjoy doing these camera comparisons so you'll continue to see them on my channel.
I hope you could do a vid comparison of s8 and the xzp when it comes out. Great comparison bro. Now, this somehow made me think to stay in sony. :)
+Oliver Marcelo I may just to see if there are any differences, but it should be the same camera as the XZs
Excellent video makes a change, a constructive truly unbiased camera review letting the hardware and software do the talking nice one. Me personally they both have fantastic cameras, also I don't own any of these two brands but I think that Sony took the crown in this review. Just for being far more realistic in colour saturation depth of field and also when zooming in on the building. Really nice job with the video though fantastic.
Thanks, and thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Nice and fair comparison! Please test also the XZ Premium when it becomes available cause i am very interested on it.
Wow, this is surprising. Not because the XZs beat S8 or vise versa, its actually an amazing improvement from previous xperia camera imo. I have Xperia Z2 before and it has a crappy camera, seriously it sucks so bad lol. But this time i think sony finally realize that camera is an important factor on smartphone!. Currently using note 5, not sure to upgrade to xz premium. I still love my Amoled screen :). Thanks for the comparison thought. Good job 😀
You're welcome.
Do you share this raw link? So i can download them in fullsize mode.
I find images to be personal preference, however, each camera seems to take turns at getting the 'better image' throughout. Note I find the white balance to be more accurate and pleasing from the S8. What's with the flickering and choppy 4k on the S8 too, mine never does that in video, rather strange. I agree that the Sony stabilisation wins hands down in any case, (I did prefer the 1080p footage in low light from the S8 on the front camera however). Also the S8 seems to push the low light exposures and heavily sharpen everything. The audio from the S8 seems to be better throughout. One feature that may push you over to the Sony side for good is the amazing 960fps video, which the S8 cannot compete, I only wish this was included in their mirrorless systems. Personally I like the S8 images and you can't go wrong with either phone. Owning an S8 I am envious of the stabilisation and the high frame rate video :(
Great assessment and thoughts. Can't argue with that.
you can change settings in sony.. by going it to manual mode...and change the settings whatever it be there...i get much better results on manual mode rather than auto mode....on my xperia xz
sony's motion camera is superb.. can't wait for xz premium 😍😍
Me too
Nice Comparison
I just can say I like the new Motion Eye Camera
Yup, definitely Sony's biggest leap in camera, especially in the image processing.
S8 FTW! Audio definitely better on S8 and low light..front camera could go either way when in comes to pics. XZS was slightly better for front facing pics (sometimes) rear pics was neck and neck! so that would be also preference. rear video was clearly better on s8 could see more at night and also audio was better and stabilization was better on S8 XZS seemed a little choppy while you were running, could really tell the difference when side by side!
lance gilliam Fair points, but the inconsistent exposure of the S8 at night is so annoying to me - blacks will sometimes turn pure black then suddenly go back to being grayish again especially at the very last test, but I'm good with the amount of detail it can pull out in the dark, though XZs looks cleaner and more realistic. 1080p test was a closer fighht than 4K test at night on both.
Regardless, even if I choose the XZs, the S8 would remain an excellent camera shooter and indeed is one of the best today
XZs My Next Phone or XZ Premium after Xperia Z5 Premium
At 1:02 XZs has better stabilization, but heavily overexposed the background.
At 1:40 S8 has the weird chopping and frame drop. Also, zoomed in video is grainier.
At 3:18 XZs sacrifices sharpness for stability.
At 4:11 S8 has better dynamic range
Low light photo and video: S8 destroys XZs
very good comparison. subscribed
Thanks, much appreciated!
Would have to say the S8, most flagship smartphones can take nice photos in good light. Deciding between them is just dependent of personal preference and situation-based performance. Most of the time i still prefer the S8's output but obviously it depends on the shot. XZS breaks down completely in low light, that's the deciding factor for me.
great review bro.. keep it up.. hoping you could do a comparison of huawei p10... :)
+Vincent de Leon Thanks, if only I could get one 😀
Just the video i needed to see the camera comparison between S8 and Sony. I'm looking to upgrade my z3 to a better camera phone. I have not been able to fully decide to which model i want that is between XPZ and S8 but looking at this, just swing me to XPZ. Thank You!
Glad you found it helpful.
Yeah it really was! My friend just got the S8 and she was raving about it so it sort of made me lean towards S8 plus i did tried it out but this video helped me a lot and i even showed it to her. Ended up we both agreed it wasn't much difference between the two and some aspects sony did better. so yeah!
Does the phone overheat when recording video? I heard this was a problem on their last phones, I hope you can clarify this for me, I want to buy this phone but unsure of it still has overheating issues.
Good work. Slight sharpness edge to Sony but better picture Samsung. Even where Sony sharper the picture, exposure, and color better on the Samsung.
