Samsung Galaxy A7 2016 Vs Asus ZenFone 3 (5.5 Inch) – Main Camera Photography Comparison!

Specs Galaxy A7 2016 ZenFone 3 (ZE552KL)
Back Camera: 13 MP f/1.9 w/ OIS, AF and LED flash 16 MP f/2.0 w/ Tri-tech AF, 4 Axis OIS, Axis EIS and dual tone LED flash
On paper, it appears that the Asus ZenFone 3 (5.5 Inch) variant has the edge over the Galaxy A7 2016. It has better larger megapixel size at 16 MP, more focusing tech (tri-tech AF), and better dual LED flash. Asus's bet also has more camera modes and feature rich professional camera settings.


On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy A7 2016 appears to be the better lowlight shooter with its bright f/1.9 sensor against ZenFone 3's should be dimmer f/2.2 lens. Both has OIS for stabilization and less blurry images. Let's get it on!

Scene 1 – Outdoor HDR

In this HDR shot taken somewhere in Batanes, we were caught off guard on how bright and detailed the image taken using the ZenFone 3 was. It even highlighted some parts of the shot that's not that visible with the Samsung's bet. While the Galaxy A7 2016 handled colors better, this round goes to Asus. Zen 3 – 1 point

In this round, it's a very close fight. Both handled the situation very well for a phone. The ZenFone 3 produced the softer and darker image while the Galaxy A7 2016 captured the brighter and more vibrant still. Galaxy A7 2016 – 1 point


Scene 3 – Dim light

At first we thought that the f/1.9 lens by Samsung will produce the brighter and more detailed image in this scene. However, Asus's ZenFone 3 shot is brighter, has less noise, and better dynamic range. The sky also looked more closer to natural colors in this shot. Zen 3 – 2 points


Scene 4 – Indoor dim light

We slightly liked Samsung's output better in this round. It's more vibrant looking and has closer to natural colors. While ZenFone 3 produced the brighter image, its colors looked pale and washed in comparison.


Scene 5 – Super Night

Unfortunately, Samsung's pro camera mode isn't complete. While it has ISO adjustment, it doesn't have shutter speed controls for long exposure shots. The result, it can't take the image that ZenFone 3 can shoot in very dark places.

Verdict

Both phones are great mobile photography buddies in the upper-midrange department. The Samsung Galaxy A7 2016 is capable for point and shoots which can take bright and vibrant images. However, Asus's ZenFone 3 slightly bested Samsung' offering in our mini shootout. That say's a lot about Asus's quality considering that this phone is more affordable.
