The OnePlus 8 UW features a very superior camera than Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, because although it has a tinier diafragm aperture which is not favorable for low-light images, and they both have the same 3840x2160 (4K) video quality, the OnePlus 8 UW also counts with a larger sensor, higher 60 fps video frame rates and a much higher 48 mega pixels resolution camera.
