| Posted: 10 Aug 2019 09:53 AM PDT As the title said, it blows my mind on how smartphone reviewers often neglect the video recording quality and features on smartphones. Video recording are literally the second part of a good camera, especially on smartphones. So why does people often ignore the videos capabilities and features on a smartphone? I want to see how well the colour are produce on video. I want to see how well the stabilization, OIS & EIS, works. I want to see the video capabilities at night. How well does it fares in difficult lighting. How good are the microphones. Does it have stereo audio capabilities. Does it support 4k60fps. How's the ultra wide angle lens video recording compared to the normal wide lense. How hot can the phone become when continuosly shooting a video. What extra features are baked-in the camera app. Does it support HDR10/HDR10+ recording. How good are the Slow Mo videos. This applies to the front camera as well. How good is the video capabilities on the front cam. Does it have 4k recording (only Samsung and Asus have 4k front video recording as far as I'm aware of). How good is the stabilization. And etc. For example, Google have a tap-focus feature to lock the focus and exposure on a moving subject. Sony have a 21:9 video taking mode to take professional cinema looking videos. Samsung have Super Steady Shot to have the most steady video shots on a smartphone, and with the new Note 10, it have a Zoom-In-Mic feature to block excess sound when zooming in on an object. Not to mention the Live Bokeh Videos on the Note 10+. But this are rarely been pointed out and possibly won't be thoroughly tested by smartphone reviewers. Instead, most of the reviews are fill with photo quality, comparing various aspect when taking a photo, while completely rushed through the video capabilities of a smartphone. IMO Samsung and Apple are the only company that take video recording seriously, and their video quality and capabilities are one of the best in the market. Samsung even markets their S10 as action video cameras. For me at least, video recording is just as important as photo capturing. So I really hope more reviewers start focusing more on video recording quality on smartphones. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 10 Aug 2019 07:33 AM PDT ((Sorry for Any grammar mistakes, English is not my first language) Mi Fit is a companion app for your smart wearable. In my case I cannot connect my Mi Band 4 directly to my phone, instead I need to download the app itself and pair it on there. And this is where my problems started So I just bought an A70. Its a great phone, excellent display, great build, despite some user feedback, the fingerprint sensors works pretty great for me. However upon connecting my Redmi Airdots I noticed the sound quality was really bad. Like imagine a static noise whenever some highs were present. I tried lowering the volume, using different bluetooth devices (2 Logitech speakers, one Bluetooth speaker" that static noise were still there. So I started googling my problem and I found this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Uh9l2ZvgVs The problem in this video is similar too mine. However as you see his fix was to disable dual audio (A feature not represent in my A70). But I'm pretty sure the cause of the problem is the same. The Mi Fit app (and the wearable itself) forces your device to be the primary Bluetooth device connected to your phone, giving that connection a better bandwidth while your actual bluetooth audio device getting a much worse connection. I tried unpairing my Mi Band 4 in the Mi Fit app, the problem still remained. So I straight up uninstalled the app and the problem was gone. The sound quality was good again, however now I cannot use my Mi Band 4 [link] [comments]  | ||

| [DISCUSSION] Why are phone manufacturers ditching the headphone jack? Posted: 10 Aug 2019 08:35 AM PDT Considering the fact that Samsung's Note 10 won't have a headphone jack, I feel like the time, when no 3.5mm connection will be the norm, is really close. I'm wondering why are more and more manufacturers making this decision. I am genuinely interested in what you guys think? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Oppo Reno 10x Zoom experiences - color me impressed Posted: 10 Aug 2019 01:45 PM PDT After much liberation I decided to jump into the unknown and give the Reno 10x zoom a try. Oppo is very unknown in Western Europe, but I knew that they were pulling massive numbers in other regions. At first I was hesitant to get the phone due to this measure of unfamiliarity. After 48 hours I can easily tell you that getting this phone has been, without a doubt, the best decision of the year thus far. The phone is very unapologetic with great battery life and a great camera. It is also one of the best non-curved flagships currently available for who cares about that sort of stuff. The phone is heavy, I'll admit, but to me that is something that I like about the phone. It doesn't have an IP rating which sucks a bit but I would never purposely expose my phone to conditions that would warrent such a rating. Still it is a thing to consider. As far as the software is concerned, color OS 6 has been very comfortable and I prefer it over Samsung's One UI that I have on my secondary phone. It is clean and easy to use with useful adaptations to Android Pie such as the smart assisant and the notifications menu with it's bigger buttons to make one handed use easier. The thing I am the most impressed about is the camera. The photos it shoots very capable pictures without too much saturation or contrast. With the immediate and long-term future of Huawei being in question, the Oneplus pro's camera not being the best and Samsung's flagships (al least the Exynos variants) also having their own sets of problems, the Reno 10x zoom offers a true viable alternative to the aforementioned devices. I hope Oppo is able to get a foot on the ground here in Europe. And I would recommend this phone to most people who are in the market for a big screen flagship. I will edit this post later to include some photos which I took showing off the camera. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 10 Aug 2019 02:32 AM PDT Hopefully this is helpful for some people like myself that didn't know but you can enable the New UI within the Android Auto app settings on phone. Phone needs to be disconnected from USB on Vehicle when enabling. This was on Pixel 3 XL hopefully all phones should have it too. [link] [comments]  |
