Despite I tend to dislike Apple (I created the subverse /s/crApple), I open-mindedly acknowledge that their native camera software has indeed the following functional and intuitive benefits:
- Exposure value compensation (tap and then swipe up or down on the camera viewfinder):
- Exposure value compensation works during focus lock (tap + hold).
- Compensation range is ±5 EV (while Samsung only has ±2 EV) for the quick exposure value compensation (tap and then swipe up or down).
- All of this (including hold to lock focus) works during video recording, inside slow motion mode and front camera (photo AND video) too.
- Even the iPhone 6s from 2015 (and presumably all newer models too) had a similar auto-exposure adjustment speed as the Galaxy S7/higher has for auto-focus, according to my tests. I am not sure whether this is because of software or hardware.
The Galaxy S7's camera beat the iPhone 6s camera obviously in focus speed and low-light performance thanks to larger image sensor surface, brighter aperture and better optical image stabilisation than the 6s+ (the normal-sized 6s did not even have any OIS).
