Edge vs Galaxy S7 iPhone 6S Plus: What is the best camera phone?

Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 board has everything you could want in a phone.

The phones have superb screens, battery life throughout the day and the best and most processors. expandable storage and water resistance are back, too. You will not be disappointed with any of the devices.

But how the board cameras Galaxy S7 and S7 (front and rear) to the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus, which has more reliable and consistent cameras smartphones in 2015? We compared photos taken with an iPhone 6S more S7 and the edge to know which phone takes better pictures.

Before diving into the comparisons, it is good to know some things about the cameras on both phones. Both the Galaxy Edge S7 and iPhone 6S have more
new camera of 12 megapixel camera with OIS (Optical Image Stabilizer) and 5-megapixel front cameras autofotos.

However, there are two main differences. The first is the opening, the aperture inside the lens allowing the light to capture an image. Large openings have lower diaphragm numbers and allow more light. smaller openings have a higher f-stop number and allow less light.

The iPhone 6S More cameras have f / 2.2 apertures and the chambers of the S7 Bord Moreover, they f / 1.7 apertures. What this means is the S7 Edge, in theory, should take better pictures in low light, since opening is to let in more light, resulting in greater image clarity.

The second difference is the camera's viewing angle. S7 board cameras have wider angles and can fit on an image more compared to cameras iPhone 6S Plus, from the same distance.

With all this in mind, we'll go through comparisons of the camera!

Outdoor (daylight)
Most photos are taken outdoors, where there is plenty of natural light. We did the first test outside outside our office window (yes, we risk life and limb for it!).

As is often the case, the two pictures looked great on their screens; S7 Edge is more acute because of its high resolution screen Quad HD. But al-res full opening is clear to us the iPhone 6S just, uh, the edges of the S7 edge.


The details of the (especially in the lower building in the center) and brick buildings are more defined. The colors of the iPhone 6S Plus are also more specific in relation to (more yellow) color temperature of saturated S7 and warmer Edge.





In our second test outside (above), which went to Central Park to capture the famous Gapstow bridge and a few ducks that come to feed.

To our surprise, the iPhone 6S that kicks cameras in the saturation overdrive. The shadows darken all details bridge and waves in the pond. The Edge S7 is the clear winner here.

Winner: Draw

If it is a picture of your child, your loved one, or an inanimate object, which is obliged to take pictures inside. The interior lighting is controlled, it does not change every second that sunlight, it also tends to be more moderate.

​AWS makes Database Migration Service available to all customers

Amazon Web Services has made its database migration data service available to all customers, after completing the migration of more than 1,000 databases from the first day of 2016.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced that its database AWS Migration Service, previously available in preview, is now available for all AWS customers.

The basic AWS Data Migration Service has seen more than 1,000 databases from the likes of Expedia and Pegasystems and complete the move to the AWS cloud of January 1, 2016.
According to AWS, the migration service is a fully managed service that allows customers to migrate their Oracle production databases, SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL and MariaDB from the local mail data centers to the AWS cloud.

"Hundreds of customers moved mail more than a thousand local databases to Amazon Aurora, other engines of Amazon RDS, or running databases on Amazon EC2 when previewing the basic service AWS data migration, "Hal Berenson, VP of services relational database AWS, said in a statement.
In less than 11 weeks, AWS said that many of its customers also plans AWS Conversion Tool is used to change the database engine.

The giant cloud says Historically, migration to a cloud database saw the earning potential of the inherent inactivity to copy from a database, or the purchase of loss migration tools expensive.
"Customers have told us repeatedly that they wanted to help move their local mail databases to AWS, and also pass basic engine options more open data, but the answer to the database of the service AWS migration was harder than we expected, "said Berenson.

"In the survey, one third of the migration database uses the AWS database Migration Service, not only to move the databases to the AWS cloud, but also to change the engine databases in the process."

"These problems are probably related: Customers who do not use their capacity or have not become their cloud services is unlikely to renew the contracts measured (estimated at about 50 percent of all cloud contracts are grouped) for the total amount, "wrote Koenig.

"Unless Oracle can change these trends - the cloud stocks are likely to quickly slow down and revenues of the cloud may not accelerate as much as guided - trying to do to ramp up your" customers personal success manager "in an order of magnitude. "

Koenig also said that these issues on the wear of clouds and capacity utilization can not indicate that customers are testing other databases for workloads, and customers could move capacity the database or AWS microsoft and look at other options such as unstructured data takes more than the cake.

Five features the next iPhone needs (but probably won't get)

Here's a way to see the next iPad: Print a 3D model of it
Take an iPad case filtering, reverse engineering design of an iPad and what you get? Just maybe: A look at the hardware that Apple plans to introduce 21 March.

Apple is expected to introduce new products in the press conference on 21 March, and a new iPad Air is considered to be one of them. The firm jumped showing an upgrade to the current 9.7-inch iPad late last year and all the attention focused on the large iPad Pro. It's time for a new iPad Air and it seems logical that we will see the following in the event.



Rumors of what we might see in the 3 cases of air (or whatever Apple plans to call it) have been circulating for some time, but TechSmart people use 3D printing to show the next iPad. Get your hands from the beginning of a case of what he said is the next iPad, 3D TechSmart carefully analyzed. Then next iPad model was developed using the shell sweep the exact dimensions and cutouts for the iPad get as accurate as they could be used.

Taking the final 3D model of what may very well be the next iPad, a 3D printer is turned on and a physical model of the next iPad was created. The dimensions and order accuracy occur in the model.

On the basis of this long process, it seems that the next iPad will have the following hardware features:

Intelligent Connector - It appeared in the iPad Pro and it is logical that Apple could take the standard iPad. This allows you to work directly with keyboards, and suggests that Apple will produce for the next iPad as it did first with the iPad Pro.

Four speakers - that also first appeared in the iPad Pro, and a high quality audio system is the result. The speakers may have to be lower due to the smaller size of the iPad, but it seems as if dripping the iPad Pro line.

Camera Flash - The idea that this is based on a cut that comes in the case next to the camera lens. While taking photos with tablets is not popular, it seems that Apple expects the owners to do so.

Otherwise, the 3D model created shows the iPad Air's side will be very similar to the current iPad Air 2. The model seems to be the same size as the 9.7-inch iPad Air 2.

What will it cost 4-inch iPhone 5SE?

Like the iPhone. Currently, he has one with a 4-inch screen, but has not improved because the jump to 4.7 inches to be too much for your pocket (literally or metaphorically) is given. You are excited about the fact that Apple is expected to introduce a new iPhone with a 4-inch screen.

What is it worth to you?

When it comes to all new Apple product, it is the question on the minds of everyone. And while Apple may want to avoid pricetaggery much as possible, always he returns in dollars and cents.

First, the landscape in which the new iPhone will be born. A 16BG iPhone 6s sold $ 649 Apple and costs an estimated $ 211 to manufacture, while GB iPhone 6s Plus 16 will cost $ 749 and an estimated cost of $ 236 to manufacture.





Put another way, consumers pay a premium of $ 100 for the big screen and battery, while Apple components only cost about $ 25.

Now all the rumors suggest that the new iPhone - Take call the iPhone OS until we know different - will be presented the bowels of an iPhone 6 / 6s in a smaller home. The smaller housing means a smaller screen and smaller battery, but do not expect these savings represent much compared to what it costs Apple to make the iPhone 6s with a 4.7 inch screen. Thinking that it could cost $ 100 less to do? Be realistic. Saving is probably closer to $ 25, and can be less than that.

So what Apple write the price tag?

Analysts expect the new iPhone 4 inches at a cost of between $ 350 and $ 450 Falling $ 450 (which is what Apple currently charges for iPhone 5s), iPhone 4 inches guts of an iPhone 6 / 6s represent tremendous value for money. At $ 350 a thing would be a total scam.

Pricing of new iPhone 4 inches, it will be complicated. Price too low and Apple runs the risk of hammering its average selling price, while the price is too high could put an obstacle in the path users take the trigger on the upgrade.

Another dilemma Apple is good for the iPhone OS. They do it very well and people will buy in more expensive versions. It is too much of a poor relation and wither and die on the vine like the iPhone did 5c. Remember that the iPhone 5c? It was the attempt of Apple to convince consumers to fire rockets on old hardware in a glossy polycarbonate housing.

It did not work, and Apple will be ready to not repeat this mistake with the iPhone OS.

It is also important to remember that Apple sells the iPhone. It is not aimed at people who have made the jump to the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6s. This iPhone 4 inches is directed to update the stragglers who cling to their old equipment for one reason or another, if the increase in size, price, or something else.

My bet is that Apple expects the iPhone to 4 inches cannibalize sales of higher priced units. Instead, it is a way of selling a device for existing iPhone users show no interest in buying a new one.

Instead of buying an iPhone and put money in Apple's coffers to buy an Android device.

It is the latest twist in the battle between the giants of encryption technology and the federal government after the Department of Justice filed a complaint against Apple to force it to help its agents broke into the iPhone a terrorist San Bernardino.

Apple refused to help "back door" of the federal government of your own product, with the argument that you can not decipher the information, and filed a formal appeal.

The iPhone maker has received great support from other technology companies, but this is the first time that companies in Silicon Valley reports suggested support their words with actions.

The Department of Justice has hinted that it may require more than the encrypted content, such as code and the iPhone key source signature - which critics argue would give the government the possibility of creating a "ghost" software that imitate apple makes legitimate day.


There is a fear that can lead some companies out of the reach of the US government's hands.

Given the bleak legal landscape in the United States, some companies more agile, smaller can take a book out of the sheet of Silent Circle, which celebrates moved to Switzerland in part to avoid the prying eyes of the US government.

But the technology giants with a US base have no choice but to comply with government requirements requesting access to customer data, or radically rethink their approach to product safety.
