The Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge is already the mobile with the best camera on the market

When Samsung announced the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, one of the most relevant novelties that stood out was the camera. With a lower number of megapixels, it was sold as an upgrade camera. They said it also had great focus and captured high-quality photos. But we were still waiting to know if that would really be the case or not in objective tests. And now DxOMark has already determined that the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge is the mobile with the best camera on the market.

The mobile with the best camera

DxOMark is the reference in the world of photography to analyze the different cameras on the market. A few years ago they began to analyze the cameras of mobile phones, seeing that they increasingly had better cameras, and that users, after all, used them a lot to capture photos. That is why they are the reference for anyone in the world of photography. And now they have been able to analyze the new Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, with clear conclusions, it is the smartphone with the best camera on the market, surpassing, although not by much, the two that previously shared that title, the previous flagship, the Samsung Galaxy S6. Edge and the Sony Xperia Z5.

With a 12 megapixel sensor

Perhaps the most remarkable thing is the sensor, of only 12 megapixels. And it could contrast with what one might think a priori, and that is that the more resolution a sensor has, the better photos it will shoot. But this is not the case, more pixels also imply the need for them to be smaller, and to capture less light. With a lower number of pixels, the photosites are larger and capture more light, so that the photographs obtained, in the end, are of a higher quality. Until recently, cameras of several thousand euros had sensors with resolutions lower than those of mobiles like the Sony Xperia Z5, but obviously they were cameras of a higher quality and their photos were too.

The curious thing now will be to see the path that Sony will follow. His latest mobile not only had a lower number of megapixels, but quite the opposite, going from 21 to 23 megapixels. What will be the future of Sony now? Will they manage to snatch the title of the mobile with the best camera on the market from the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge?
