Google Motion Stills app creates a more beautiful, steady GIF

Daniel Morial

Apple iPhone 6s and 6s Plus owners are in for a treat from Google as the tech-giant released a new app for iOS that will bring your Live Photos to a whole new level.

With the Google Motion Stills, shaky and unusable Live Photos will turn into a more beautiful creation thanks to the app’s impressive motion tracking and stabilization tech. This works by freezing the background areas of Live Photos while allowing the foreground to move freely. The output? A professional-looking steady Live Photo in GIF format for easy sharing.

Here are some samples provided by Google:

With the recent official announcement of the Samsung Galaxy S7 and finally putting all the rumors at rest, we once again pit its specifications against other flagships and this time, it’s against Apple’s iPhone 6S.

Let’s now see how these two stand up against each other in terms of their technical specs.

Summary of Advantages

  • Quad HD resolution
  • Twice the RAM at 4GB
  • Expandable memory
  • Dual-SIM
  • Fast wireless charging
  • Heart rate sensor
  • IP68 rating
  • Bigger battery capacity at 3000mAh

  • Bluetooth 4.2
  • More color options

While there are aspects (like processor, front and rear cameras) that are subjective and would be needed to test in real-life usage, the Galaxy S7 showed beefier specs than the iPhone 6S when it comes to components alone. Through this comparison, we also see that this 2016 flagship now has more bells-and-whistles to offer its users compared to the 2015 flagship from Apple.

Stay tuned to see how well the Galaxy S7 would perform when we get ourselves a unit to review.
