Tested: Galaxy Note 8 Live Focus vs iPhone 7 Plus Portrait Mode

The Galaxy Note 8 is the first Samsung phone to feature a dual lens camera system. Similar to Apple’s iPhone 7 Plus, it includes a telephoto lens paired with the standard lens. This allows both companies to take on a fun trend: depth of field effects. Let’s check out the differences between their approaches and see if one phone does it better.

Does the model come with the phone? Samsung rocks man .. first we get VR and now we get a girl?!

The galaxy note 8 has a far better camera and is still in pre-release software

[MFizzle]

What did I learn from all this? Sindel look beautiful regardless!

[TSutton]

I feel like this review would have been a lot more effective if there was more distance between the model and her background...

[santiagodraco]

Not surprising that there's no "decision" on which is best when clearly the Note 8 was superior. In addition the shots were poorly chosen in many cases... with the subject very close to the background.... Anyway the unbiased observer knows which phone won this test, the Note 8.

We learnt you don’t know how to use portrait mode

I like how the iphone really brings out the flaws in the girls face. I know the girl looks better on the note 8, more colorful, less flaws. But I like flaws. Or maybe it's just my screen not coping with the dynamic range of the picture. I will soon know, because I ordered a note 8 ;-).

Lets not forget the fact that we are comparing a year old phone to a brand new one, a fair comparison would be between the new iphone vs Note8

What did we learn from all these comparisons? You are an apple fanboy

I liked this review. The tones on the iPhone seemed more pleasing but overall I preferred the Note 8 pictures. Apple most likely will improve their software but it is quite possible that Samsung will make using the portrait mode (or what ever they call their depth of field effect) as easy as the iPhone.

The Note 8 actually has OIS on both lenses.

Finally, an overview of both cameras, without any hints of being bias.Thanks for this video.

U forgot to mention portrait ip 7 plus also can do portrait with hdr and flash on ios 11, im enjoy it so far

[tobiasbeer]

What I learned from this mostly is that she probably used a spatula to put on all the makeup... and to take it off again.

[android_dreaming_of_sheep]

i appreciate an actual professional review

[Joeknowsit-ALL]

Faster aperture ?!!! it's wider aperture, faster shutter !

[conorsulli]

Yes the iphone is easy to use if you want crap looking shots.

[aminebelhoucine]

I think I'll wait a little more My S7E still feels pretty good

[TheRobbSki]

Holy crap, these things are CELL phones, not 3-thousand dollar DSLR cameras! If you want to take great photos, use an expensive camera and put your PHONE in your freaking pocket!
