Yes, the Galaxy S8 is still the king of the smartphone cameras, but it's also a phone with a starting price tag of $720. Meanwhile, the OnePlus 5 costs $480, and I'd be happy to capture memories, vacations, and everyday shenanigans with the OnePlus 5 in my hands with an extra $240 in my pocket. See if the Galaxy S8's superior camera truly warrants the extra $240 you'd spend over buying a OnePlus 5: SEE ALSO: The Galaxy S8 can do 8 things the new OnePlus 5 can't, but I'd still get the OnePlus 5 Both the OnePlus 5 and Galaxy S8 produce similarly excellent photos in bright daylight, but the Galaxy S8 brightens up some of the darker areas to make them more visible. It's especially noticeable on the building across the street.         When I fully zoom into each photo, it's clear that the Galaxy S8's camera is sharper and captures more detail.   The OnePlus 5 is a little more conservative with color saturation than the Galaxy S8's deeper green and pink. The OnePlus 5 also gives off a warm, yellow-ish tint compared to the cooler and more dynamic color contrast of the Galaxy S8's camera.   See the rest of the story at Business Insider   Share the latest business news with your network:    Email sent to:   |   Manage your email preferences   |   Unsubscribe Terms of Service   |   Privacy Policy Business Insider. 150 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10011
