Shooting evaluation of Samsung Galaxy S3 alpha version
Shooting evaluation of Samsung Galaxy S3 alpha version

Since the release of Samsung Galaxy S4, the sharp price reduction of the previous generation flagship Galaxy S3 has triggered a new round of panic buying. Against this wave, Xiao Bian brought the shooting evaluation of the Alpha version, an upgraded version of the Galaxy S3.

Note: The Galaxy S3 in Japanese Alpha version is a machine specially provided by Samsung for Japan, and its hardware configuration is consistent with Note 2.

 

Daytime imaging:

It rained in the morning when I filmed, but the weather was not very good and gloomy.

The happy life of the seven dwarfs and Snow White.

 

When Xiaobian was wandering near the Window of the World, he unexpectedly saw Iron Man and Batman hiding in a corner

 

 

 

 

This is a 100% magnified screenshot of the above figure. The sharpness is OK, but it doesn't feel up to the level of the original 9300.

 

This time, the editor chose to shoot in the bar street, which is also called a bit of European architectural style, and is always better than shooting a bunch of high-rise buildings outside.

 

 

Conclusion: The daytime imaging ability is good, the performance is good, the color restoration is relatively natural, and the sharpness feeling is a little insufficient compared with the original.

 

Macro

The color of this picture is a bit biased. The color seen by the naked eye is actually a bit redder than the color in the photo. It's pink here.

 

 

 

 

Conclusion: The macro ability is good, the background illusion is slightly hard, and the color may be affected by the light sometimes, so you need to pay attention to it.

 

HDR

Note: After HDR shooting is turned on, the 9300 will automatically take two photos, one is turned on and the other is turned off, and the EXIF will be erased.

HDR OFF

 

HDR is turned on. After the HDR is turned on, all the details of the dark part below the house are displayed, and the dark clouds in the sky are also preserved, with a good effect.

When HDR is enabled, pay attention to the dark parts of trees and horses. After HDR is enabled, you can see the details. If the weather is better, the effect will be better.

Conclusion: After HDR is turned on, it has little effect on the primary color, does not fade, and retains many details. HDR did really well.

 

Nightscape

9300 has two ways to shoot night scenes. One is to turn on the "low light" mode of shooting mode, and the other is to turn on the "night scene shooting" of scene mode. No matter which mode is turned on, there is a good night scene performance. The EXIF will also be erased after the low light mode is turned on.

Xiao Bian first tries to adjust the ISO to 100 for shooting performance. Even if the ISO is adjusted to 100, the shutter speed is still firm at 1/17 S.

When the "low light" mode is turned on, although EXIF cannot be seen, the actual use of small and medium-sized editing can clearly feel that the imaging speed is very fast, and it should also maintain the shutter speed at about 1/17 of a second.

 

This one is in the "Night shot" mode. This one can extend the shutter speed and reduce the ISO to reduce noise.

 

This one was shot in "low light" mode. After the low light is turned on, the picture will be brighter than when the night view mode is turned on.

 

This is just a small experiment by adjusting ISO to 800. There is a lot of noise, and the picture is not as good as that of "low light" and "night shot". It seems that Samsung has made additional adjustments to these two night shot modes, which is good.

Conclusion: The night scene is not bad. The brightness of the night scene shot by adjusting the "low light" mode is also very high, but the corresponding noise will also increase a lot. It feels like a tough adjustment of brightness. When "Night shot" is enabled, sometimes the shutter speed of low ISO and 1/2 time will be obtained, which will result in much less noise in the night shot. However, due to the extended exposure time, it will be difficult for some users with unstable hands to take photos.

 

front camera

The front camera of the 9300 is 190W pixels. In fact, the front camera is enough to see people, because it is basically only used for video calls or some girls can take selfies.

However, the front camera has good definition, which is enough for self taking and video calling. This is a sample shot with the front camera.

 

"Original 9300" VS "α 9300"

Due to time constraints, here is just a simple comparison. Click the following comparison pictures to view the larger picture:

In daytime shooting, the two are basically the same.

 

In terms of color restoration, the alpha version is slightly yellow.

 

In terms of macro, the nearest focusing distance of the alpha version is about 7 cm, while the nearest focusing distance of the original version can reach 5.5 cm. For shooting macro, the closer the focusing distance is, the easier it is to shoot macro. In this respect, the original version is no less than the alpha version.

 

 

In the nightscape, the original version also controls the high light source and the overall brightness much better than the alpha version. The alpha version of 9300 makes the editor feel much smaller

 

Overall summary: the daytime performance is regular, and the ability of micro distance is also good, but the white balance is slightly inaccurate. HDR performs well and does not cast colors. The night view ability is good, but not as good as the original 9300. The alpha version of the camera has shrunk compared with the original version. Fortunately, the shrinkage is not too serious, and the shooting experience is good. Although the imaging quality does not reach the original level, considering the low price and powerful hardware configuration, it is still a very good machine on the whole.
