Hello guys,
I've created a YouTube video comparison between the 2 latest Galaxy flagships, the S8 and the S9. In this video I have tried pointing out all the major differences and similarities whilst being as honest as possible. Also, my answer to the question in the title is to be found in the video. Enjoy!

Thanks for the video!
For my 2c, we have an S8 and a S9+ in the house currently, and I must say, the difference is astounding-- The S9+ has stereo speakers (Bottom and Headset) with a higher sound quality than the S8 and the camera on the S9+ kicks the S8's ass at the very least. to be honest, it kind of bums me out, since a single generation hop isn't really worth the cost if you outright buy your device, but the S8 seems almost toyish in comparison :\

So I took to normal non tech people and let them shoot pics (in auto) with the LG V10 and the iPhone 6s Plus.
https://youtu.be/73bYwnju8gg
The iPhone pictures looked nice but almost as if it was HDR as standard?
The video on the V10 also looked a bit stuttery which surprised me.
Nice video
Thanks for doing it.

There are some videos on YouTube that don't have that stutter at all. I personally believe comparisons using auto-modes are unfair comparisons, as one phones auto-mode is very different that anothers auto-mode. The best comparisons are when the user takes the best possible image/video they can with each phone.
Your friends are never going to believe what you did. The only way to prove it to them is with that video you took. Rate this thread to express how videos shot on the Samsung Galaxy S9+ come out. A higher rating indicates that videos are smooth (and not choppy) and that auto-focus works very well, and that the camera adjusts quickly to different lighting conditions while recording.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Some Test using the Galaxy S9 vs the Pixel but this is ONLY using Cinema 4k and Filmic Pro - https://youtu.be/pIpD05-vFhs
Here is a test in fairly low light using the stock app vs cinema 4k. Also I wanted to see how grading the footage from the stock app did. - https://youtu.be/jrXUYjpWj_E
The stock camera app is surprisingly good. I am coming from a google pixel 2 which the stock app is terrible for video quality.

Vlogging test using the S9. Gotta say Im super impressed. https://youtu.be/pgtPisI9BBg
Here is a test with the built in microphone VS several vlogging mics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=in3DwY2IKUA&t=17s

Posted this in the picture thread as well to illustrate that the performance was great imo. But figured it'd be useful here too.

Dude, I love your videos and I would never believe I found you around here.
I discovered you because some of your Pixel 2 videos and followed your YouTube channel since then.
I returned the Pixel 2 XL because is unusable in low light conditions and got the S9+ and I couldn't be happier, and saw you did the same, and moreover, really brave to post a video explaining why you did this.
Keep the good job mate!

The fact that you are happy with that shaky jittery pixelated processing video explain that Android users have lower quality standards. My iPhone 6 plus would make better video than that. Again I am very disappointed about camera on s9+... Hype is real

isheep, so predictable
Please don’t delete this topic it’s fair warning!
I hate to be right sometimes but as I told long ago after years of testing it turns out that the best camera of Samsung was in S6 / S6Edge+. Test it yourself. Hold S6 in one hand and for example S8 in the other and take a photo in good light. Then zoom it on the phone and you will see that S6 has better details, no artificial brightener while for example S8 has it.
S6 has 16 Mpix and all flagships that came after had 12 Mpix rear camera.
I’ve tested S6 Edge Plus vs. S7 / S8 / S8+, Note8, S9, S9+ and…
only S9+ finally beat S6. (look how Samsung did bad for us from Sep2015 till March2018)
I wish I had NOT sale my S6 and bought a newer one
If You don't believe me? Ask XDA members who has S6 and a later Galaxy S model (but not S9+)
This is a Warning for You don't sell your S6!!!! or sell only if you can afford to buy S9+.
I did the wrong thing so I Warn you no to make the same mistake that I did
The zoom function is not a good example for comparison between cameras. Neither is the amount of megapixel, of which apparently they decided to keep it at 12mp. for the time being.
So if you want more mp, and better photos, then get a professional camera.
As for reviews from reputable sites, those claim the s8 and up are better than their predecessors.

if you are unable to read betwean the senteces I will break it to You: dont buy S8 if your hoping that its cam will be better than in S6.

do not
It is a fair warning
so others dont make mistake like I did
Point taken.
But in all fairness, topic title is misleading.
Should be something like regret of selling s6 for s8. Or camera s6 better than s8.

It is and all ways is a opinion and if you want to make a point you should do more to prove it that is my opinion.

mine word isnt enough? jezzz.s.
The problem is I am not a camera phone fanatic.
And coming from a op5 who has supposedly has an even worse camera and I do not see the difference.
Having that said you are ranting other people to not buy a phone because you have issues with one part of the s8(+) that is why I think topics like this should not exist.
A phone does have other things than a camera you do know that. Wanting wordclass foto's and then trying to shoot them with a smartphone
i have both and and its not true i stil have both phone and my s8 plus has way better camera than my s6 specially in low light low light pictures have lots of nois in s6 and even day light pictures s8 takes better picture when how many times you going to zoom a picture more mega pixel doesn't mean a good camera .

So how do You explain my 1000 pics expermenting S6E+ vs. the new Galaxy S devices? I did it from the emerge od S7 till the launch of S9/S9+
The purpose of this post was to warn all of ppl that DO want to use only smartfion to take pics.
I have no agenda against S8. I just know that a lot of ppl are massivly abandoning S6 cause they think that cam will be significntly better on a newer Galaxy. Out of my good heart I want to spare them the dissapointment.
Like I said if a person wants to change S6 only for pics quality reason they should buy nothing less than S9+ otherwise they will be sadly dissapointed.
You are a very bad android boy for posting this :3

I can agree with this statement. As a current ow er of an s6 edge+ I can say photo quality is lacking compared to my sister's s7 and my friend's s8. That 4 Megapixel count really doesn't make a difference when it comes to smartphone photography.
Cool thanks for that, I'll sleep better tonight

Please share some pics for comparison, the way you did seems like you created this topic without any data. "look for proves on XDA" isn't a good argument, please share more info if you want to be taken seriously. I have nothing against you, this is just a small critic.

During years with my 1000 photos taken by S6EPlus from launch od S7 till launch of S9/S9+ I did it for myself cause Samsung kept on saying that that the photo quality is better in good light than previous S models. So I went to the electronics shop. I one hand I had my phone and in the other the newer Galscy version. I joined hands, pointed forward in the same linear direction and I have taken a photo with both (same options on both, for example HDR). Then I opened in both phones the gallery and I looked very intesnly with no zoom and with zoom whsat the quality was.. the S6EPlus won with all but not with S9+. But I did not have the photos from these other models troughout the years cause I was doing it for my self to check my theory that Samsung will be lying about much camera improvment.
Hence no photos. I wasnt planing then to warn everybody. I myself wanted to buy S7E and all the next phones cause I beleived that maybe the next and next model with have a batter cam. I waited 3 years, 3 generations till the emerge of S9+ that I can truely say that in good light S9+ makes better photos than my S6E+. I was planning to buy it but I didnt have enough money
This is stupid and your S6 is a crappy, obsolete phone. I'm sorry.
Hi guys. So i am trying to buy something with which i can record videos at electronic music parties. I really like the quality that Iphone 7 or 8 make from videos i see on youtube (example of what kind of quality i want is bellow...unfortunately video is removed because its link, but you can write hernan cattaneo budapest 2019 in youtube and see first video). My question is since i dont wanna give out so much for phone, since i am totally satisfied with my Redmi Note 7, except for video and especially sound quality (which is crap on videos), can i get the same quality video and especially sound with a digital camera that i buy for 200, 300 Euros, like i would have with Iphone 8 for example? Or can i just buy some external microphone to get sound like on Iphone or even better)? Thank you for your help and suggestions. Greetings!

If you are buying something for the specific purpose of shooting videos then you need to buy something that is made for that purpose, as in, a digital camera intended for shooting high quality video. When buying electronic hardware, the hardware should always be geared toward the purpose you will be using it for.

Hello . I have a problem with my galaxy s22 ultra Snapdragon , the videos I record at rave or shows that have a very strong sound The recording comes out with the horrible sound, totally blown up.
While cell phones( S10+ and S21 Ultra) of friends who recorded videos at the same party, the sound is perfect. I would like to know if this problem is on my cell phone or is the microphone of the s22 ultra that is really bad?
Anyone who has made videos in strong sound like a show? noticed the same problem?
I put a video on youtube that I recorded, all the videos had the same audio.
It's clipping like hell... the mic gain is way too high or the mics themselves can't physically handle that decibel level.
I don't know... I wouldn't expect my N10+ to do much better in the same conditions. Never tested it though.
It's not just the audio, the video is juddery AF!

Cam shake, multiple high contrast targets... normal. An AF lock can avoid that.
Not what I'd consider normal but then again my S21 Ultra is pretty bad in a hailstorm. 13 Pro Max kills it!
This is a well known issue already being discussed in a thread here. I'm assuming it's software related since my U.S t-mobile snapdragon S22 Ultra doesn't exhibit this. Hopefully Samsung will address it in an update in the near future.
