The Samsung Galaxy S7 takes a little bit better pictures and videos than Huawei Mate 9 Pro, and although they both have the same 30 fps video frame rate, a same resolution back camera and the same (4K) video definition, the Samsung Galaxy S7 also has a lot larger aperture to capture better photography and videos in low-light situations and a larger back-facing camera sensor taking higher quality photographs and videos.
The Galaxy S7 not only is the best phones between the ones we are comparing, but it's also a bargain compared to the other phones, making it a no doubt choice.
