Samsung Galaxy Alpha Camera Review-The particular Samsung Galaxy Alpha works on the 12MP camera with a 16: 9 sensor. This means photos natively fit widescreens like the one on the product itself or your own HDTV.

The HTC One particular mini 2 falls the low-resolution Ultrapixel camera in the big One (M8) and is true of a regular 13MP player with the dice. Pixels aren't as huge as on the M8 (1. 12µm vs. 2µm) but the particular added resolution is often a welcome change. Another change will be the move from a new 16: 9 sensor into a 4: 3 one particular, so viewing on a widescreen will include either letterboxing or even cropping.

As for your front-facing cameras, HTC has outfitted its premium mini with a 5MP shooter with a generous f/2. 0 aperture. Samsung is by using a bog-standard 2. 1MP front-facing camera. Both can shoot 1080p video, but the still resolution advantage is heavily and only HTC (a assertion we never had to make in 2013).

Anyhow, the One little 2 lacks HTC's exclusive ImageChip and specific options are lacking, most notably Zoe. There's a Zoe app with regard to creating Highlight video clips, but you don't get things like recording short video clips after each image.

A nice alternative for knowledgeable photography fans is Manual Function. It lets a person tweak focus, shutter rate, ISO, exposure compensation and white stability. If auto mode doesn't get you the look you need, you can song the camera your self.

The Samsung Galaxy Alpha works on the lower resolution sensor compared to its big sibling but gets the full feature collection. That means Shot & more for some burst photo results (erasing moving physical objects, duplicating them or simply picking the ideal shot), dual camera (front and back again camera in picture-in-picture mode).

The Alpha also has Selective Focus - an element that snaps two photos and uses software to be able to fake rack focus. You can give attention to different planes or even bring everything in focus. The big HTC One (M8) has a similar feature (which it achieves with a single shot) however it requires the Duo Digital camera setup, which the one mini 2 is lacking in.

Photo quality

We'll get started by comparing the particular field of view for both video cameras. The Galaxy Leader is slightly bigger, though because the particular HTC One little 2 frame is actually taller - that fits more vertically along with overall fits far more into the body. This advantage will likely be lost if a person crop the photographs to 16: 9 aspect ratio, essentially equalizing the particular fields of view.

The first issue we noticed (you will even see it in thumbnails) will be the heavy yellow tint in HTC One particular mini 2's photographs. It goes past warm white balance concise where it's just an excessive amount of. Here's a grey building and several white on the particular sign.

The Galaxy Alpha photo is often a bit on the particular cold side but far nearer to the truth. Note that the yellow tint a single mini 2's photos depends upon the scene.

The Samsung oversaturates colors a lttle bit, as does the particular HTC, though the natural channel is off (perhaps because of the tint).

Anyway, the Samsung Universe Alpha is sharper - the written text in the 1st panel looks better and so does the leaves. Sometimes however, is it doesn't processing that enables the Alpha down - the 2nd panel shows roof tiles smudged apart.

Still, that's fairly rare and, normally, the Galaxy Leader produces the crisper images. The third solar panel demonstrates the variation in foliage and several slim elements from the scene. Samsung even ruled in its usual sharpening filter that's often too solid.
