The first part of the comparison of these three smartphones (read here) we looked at the price, packaging, design, screens , software and sound. In the second, final part, we will draw conclusions, previously told the cameras, autonomy, efficiency and heating. It’s time to dot the «I» in LG V10, Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and Sony Xperia Z5 Premium

Camera. <-! noindex -> <-! /> Noindex - ->

I do not know for you, but the camera for me, probably the most important thing in your phone. Its importance has increased especially after the birth of the child. I want to capture and keep the memory as much as possible the events in the life of the baby. Moreover, in a good form. And, you do it with not very high-quality camera will be quite difficult. “What is the talk of mediocre cameras, because the road to survey the flagship?” – You might think. The fact that there are in this trio Sony Xperia Z5 Premium, which is positioned in the Japanese manufacturer as “the world’s best camera phone.” And the title, in fact, very far from the truth. As far as image quality with the quality of his shots from the South Korean vehicles. Focus on the characteristics of the camera module will not. The results are much more eloquent, well acquainted with the specifications, you can in the first part of this comparison.

All the photos were obtained in a fully automatic mode. Defenders of Sony cameras may once again repeat the mantra that the Xperia photographed in the capable hands of a magical and even had to shoot in manual mode. Suspicions “krivorukost” simply omit (if I have “curves” hand, why in the case of the V10 and Galaxy Note 5, it does not manifest itself?). A council to shoot in manual mode, really funny. As a smart phone can be regarded as “the world’s best camera phone” when in automatic mode it gives is ? I think smart, especially top-end flagship high price tag, would have the most work in auto mode, providing additional modes just for experimentation and demonstration of skill of the photographer. Well, on the Xperia Z5 Premium could shoot in manual mode, only for the purity of experiment and V10 with Galax Note 5 should take pictures in manual mode. And believe me, Xperia manual mode does not go to any comparison with manual modes of Korean vehicles. In Xperia no manual focus or exposure, or exposure adjustments for tapas, or the ability to change ISO at full resolution (lower it to 8 megapixels – will then be able to adjust ISO, however, is not really affect the result, as even at ISO 50 -100 depressing amount of noise)

At the Sony Xperia Z5 Premium problems with white balance (green or pink snow -. it is the norm for him), he tends to overstate the contrast of rich colors (blue benches vote), correctly put exposure (many daily footage shot with snow in the evening though). But the most unfortunate of the Japanese flagship camera behaves under conditions of indoor or low-light. Noise, “soap”, blue artifacts in the night will remain forever in images taken on your memory. The only thing that exceeds Z5 Premium “Koreans” – in the corner of the capture. However, there is nothing special to rejoice, as on all edges blurred. Of course, if the composition is delivered well, the frame is matched successfully, and the quality, you can close your eyes, especially if you apply filters. But imagine what would happen if the same composition and footage shot on a smartphone with a better camera. So it is worse? No. The picture of this just to win.

Why Xperia permanent problem with the cameras – I do not know. Perhaps algorithms and image processing engine are far from perfect, there may be problems with components and suppliers (the lens protective glass), it is possible, the Xperia lacks optical stabilization and RGB-sensor. Whatever it was, Sony Xperia Z5 Premium gives LG V10 and Samsung Galaxy Note 5 in the main camera. According to my observations, the current level of Xperia about photography – a middle peasants among Chinese brands. But the highest resolution and have the slogan “the world’s best camera in the flagship smartphone.” Please, Sony, gather. Focus on results, not marketing – users will be immensely grateful to you. I as well. The pictures above – this is not the flagship level.

As for the LG V10 and Samsung Galaxy Note 5, both units have shown themselves worthy in all scenarios, they both convenient application and camera advanced manual modes have a lot of options. LG V10 flagship Samsung fulfills better night scenes, pulling the shutter speed and reducing noise. However, there is a catch – equipment just starts pulling frame and the home recording. And some conditions it may take a few seconds – a valuable picture of the life of a cat or the baby may be missed. Sprinkled from gallery above:

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 slightly worse V10 cope with night conditions (noise more), but faster and more accurate focusing, as well as making a photo almost instantly. In addition, the Galaxy Note 5 accurate color reproduction with more correct white balance (at least during the day, even at night) and the correct exposure (the V10 can also darken the frame, as the Xperia), sharper pictures and clearer (even at night with a lot of noise). When flash photography best result, again, in Note 5. In digital 5x zoom noise is also less than the Samsung device. By the way, the Sony promises such an increase frame “lossless” vote no loss:

LG V10 – Samsung Galaxy Note 5 – Sony Xperia Z5 Premium

In my opinion, Note 5 camera more versatile, predictable and balanced. If you shoot in professional mode, that Note 5 that the V10 will delight you with additional features. For example, the next shot I took on the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 to the low to -2EV exposure and adjust the focus manually (on Z5 Premium remove a failed – he refused to focus on the candle flame, and hands where the focus is not adjusted):

Now selfie. I am sure that even if you do not like a genre picture, it still would not mind having a smartphone in front qualitative module. I’m right? Our trio offers a 5-megapixel front camera. And, in as much as two V10 modules – they capture different angles (80 degrees for one person and 120 degrees for the company). The angle at the wide Note 5 – 120 degrees. At Z5 Premium wide angle, but the pick-up area is lower than the “Koreans”. All smart phones give quite sturdy sebyashki, but the V10 is better colors and detail. The second place is given to Galaxy Note 5, and at last put the Xperia Z5 Premium, due to the color of the face

LG V10 -. Samsung Galaxy Note 5 – Sony Xperia Z5 Premium

In terms of video capabilities forward sees LG V10 because of the manual mode – the parameters to adjust even more than when shooting still images. However, here it is necessary to raise the question of the feasibility and implementation of advanced features for video recording. Yes, it is possible to adjust the direction of the sound, but the work is strange and V10 itself says is not very high quality audio (nominal bit rate is defined as 96 kbit / s). There is an improved system Steady stabilization for video, but it is disabled in the resolution of 4K and Full HD operates at a speed of 60 fps. Standard same optical stabilization manifests itself not with the best hand, bringing us back to the level Nokia Lumia 920, where the first smartphones OIS technology has been applied. The ability to change on the fly the white balance, ISO, and exposure is good, but something tells me that professionals would prefer to take the raw material with the default settings, and then apply filters, etc. in the video editor on a computer and in a comfortable environment. Perhaps, really pleased with a manual focus – it can not fix in the video editor. In my opinion, the manual mode when shooting movies is not as useful as the manual mode when photographing. But what it is -. The good news

As for the quality in general, I note the very fast focusing and most effective at stabilizing the Sony Xperia Z5 Premium. Korean “friends” about the same focus, better stabilization in Samsung Galaxy Note 5. The most natural and correct color rendition in Note 5, and worst of all the picture looks at the Xperia Z5 Premium – red nose snowman turned into pink, blue noise appearing at night. The worst sound in LG V10. Audio dubbing Xperia Z5 Premium pleased with everything except the emphasis on the left channel (which, fortunately, can be corrected in the editor). Recording Galaxy Note 5 I think the most balanced and successful of the trio, although there is a lot of work.

In general, the video, all three devices write very well (but with nuances), and if you choose a smartphone in the first all for the photo, I advise you to pay attention to the V10 and Galaxy note 5

Hours. <-! noindex -> <-! /> noindex ->

Autonomy is very important for users, but when you select the device for this parameter is often overlooked. Perhaps they are right, because, starting from their own experience, I can say that the vast majority of current champions runs plus or minus the same. Huge difference. LG G4 models, V10, Nexus 5X, Sony Xperia Z5, Xperia Z5 Premium, Samsung Galaxy Note 5, Galaxy S6, HTC One M9, Apple iPhone 6S on average keep 1-2 days, giving, without any tricks such as replacing the nuclei and installation custom firmware, 3-4, and if lucky, 5:00 screen. The only ones who have these devices live 5 hours of active display, I can only envy, and advised to leave the screen brightness to a comfortable level and use the smartphone features of these remarkable smartphones bolder. Otherwise, why would you buy a “smart” flagship for the money? Because exceptions can be identified Meizu Pro 5, Motorola X Force and Huawei Nexus 6P – they really work longer than others

the category of video at the LG V10

the category of video from Sony Xperia Z5 Premium

battery capacity V10 and Galaxy Note 5 It is 3000 mAh, and the Xperia Z5 Premium has got the battery to 3430 mAh. Unfortunately, “Japanese” there is no advantage in autonomy for 4K. I will say more – because of some bugs in the software Z5 Premium sometimes gave no more than 1.5 hours of screen, quickly discharging in standby mode (with and without Stamina). The measurements also show the superiority of Galaxy Note 5. In the video player mode, the flagship of Samsung traditionally strong because Super AMOLED-matrix. If the Xperia Z5 Premium cool video with a maximum brightness of 5 hours 53 minutes, and the LG V10 took 6 hours 11 minutes, the Galaxy Note 5 lasted as long as 13 hours and 10 minutes. The game Asphalt 8 with a comfortable brightness level LG V10 discharge and Samsung Galaxy Note 5 per hour was 15% and 14% respectively, while the Sony Xperia Z5 Premium sat at 18%.

Summarize. If you want to get stuck in the viewing of favorite series in the plane, the longest hold on Galaxy Note 5 – it is also on the way back will be enough. The game phones discharge almost the same. In everyday life as a mixed load on the work affects a bunch of factors: the quality of mobile communication and the temperature of the window (if you’re on the street) to the number of installed Messager, display brightness and load multimedia tasks. In this case, to use fully smartphones, significant differences will be gone. But a no advantage to continue Note 5 (thanks to Super AMOLED)

Features LG V10

Features Samsung Galaxy Note 5

Features Sony Xperia Z5 Premium

Hardware devices have different bases. The LG, apparently looking at the complaints Snapdragon 810 from G Flex 2, hastily transferred to the G4 Snapdragon 808 first, and then the V10. The Sony, having filled bumps on the Xperia Z3 +, implemented Snapdragon 810 Xperia Z5 series is much better, why owners Z3 +, probably, have to be very indignant. And for Galaxy Note 5 Samsung has not stood at a crossroads, just taking its own development, well-proven in the Galaxy S6 – Exynos 7420. The Xperia Z5 Premium RAM 3 GB, while the Korean creations – 4 GB. As for the impressions of the interface, the fastest and most responsive, you will not believe, proved TouchWiz (Bravo, Samsung!). Shell Xperia Home too smooth and nimble, but switching between tasks often happens with long and thoughtful response – in the past champions were better. But LG UX from the V10, although sympathetic G3 and G2 skins, still requires optimization. Perhaps the famous LG firmware development is now part of the least-designed for smoothness. Given that the G4 launcher after the update to Android 6.0 Marshmallow not become faster, hoping for a radical improvement in the experience in the near future V10 is not necessary.

In most synthetic tests ahead Galaxy Note 5, it is followed by Xperia Z5 Premium (sometimes even shoots forward) and followed far behind V10. By throttling the hardest suffering V10 – it all takes off faster maximum performance benchmarks and drawdown is stronger than the other. This is evident from the runs AnTuTu and Epic Citadel.

If you analyze the test results and the effect of throttling, it is easy to assume, as smartphones cope with demanding toys. The real test games confirms that the least for demanding titles suitable LG V10 – in Asphalt 8 cases of severe drawdown, Unkilled comes with fps value, close to the uncomfortable (by the way, LG G4 with the same hardware foundation to cope with games better – why?). At Sony Xperia Z5 Premium business performance situation is better than that of the V10, although due to heating in the same Unkilled number of frames per second is rarely more than 20 fps. The best gaming smartphone of the trio turned out to Samsung Galaxy Note 5. throttling effect he is present, but the rate is still at an acceptable level (in Unkilled almost always 30 fps and serious subsidence does not happen). However, it should be noted that in some games visuals due to the graphics accelerator Mali are not as advanced as that of smart phones with Adreno.

Weaker all heated Galaxy Note 5. If you look at the temperature gauge on the battery, it is under load, is almost always at 8-12 degrees colder than V10 and Z5 Premium. That is, if the Japanese flagship warmed by the battery up to 47 degrees, the temperature 5 Galaxy Note, under the same conditions, will be around 36-38 degrees. The order from least to most hot devices such warm: Samsung Galaxy Note 5 – LG V10 – Sony Xperia Z5 Premium. However, none of the tactile phones causes discomfort under load. Even the most ardent of them Z5 Premium. Generally nice Sony worked on heat dissipation after the fiasco with the Xperia Z3 +, which is terribly throttling, warmed, cut down the camera and forcibly lowered brightness. Completely remove throttling could not (because it is a Snapdragon 810 that’s why), but in the Z5 the processor received one of the best implementations.

Conclusions

spent with each of the devices is quite a lot of time, I came to the conclusion that none of them is not an ultimatum. However, if you go into the details, the least interesting of the trio turned out to Sony Xperia Z5 Premium. He is in a lot of good, but not enough to surpass Korean opponents (especially pumped up the camera). LG and Samsung have released objectively more advanced models to choose between them will be a challenge. I can only advise to start from design, market prices and liquidity in the future. Or again read both sides of the comparison, drawn on paper the pros and cons of each model for himself. What would you choose and why?
