Thanks for watching! Leave a thumbs up on the video if you want to see me use this for street photography and test more features like zoom, and low light.

Google's approach to the bokeh element is in the edit...Google Photos: Edit>Tools>Blur

Google was one of the first, if not the very first company to bring computational photography (namely their HDR+ algorithm) to Smartphones. Apple and other Android OEMs were way behind in terms of processing once the Google Nexus 5x and 6p hit. Same goes for their computational raw files.

To transfer files from an Android phone you literally can plug your usb-c to c cable onto your computer and phone, change the charging option on your phone to file transfer then your computer will see your phone as an external drive. No need to delete the extra jpegs no need to transfer to Google drive.

Yeah that didn’t work with this phone. Not sure why. You are right tho it’s been that way with every other android device I’ve used

If you use a Mac, yes, but on windows, you can install quickshare and use it basically like airdrop.

Most likely will just because doing street photography with smartphones is always fun for me haha

those new smartphones are incredible now for the quality that they produce, like now even if you are a pro photographer and could find it a bit hard to know if the pic from a phone or a pro camera, next phone I would like to suggest to try is Sony Xperia 1 Mark Vi, give it a try, the portrait mode in that phone is way beyond the other phones.

Please do the Pixel 8 Pro. I think youd ve blown away

I really like that you're unbiased and always trying out different brands, this content would be of great help to those who aspire to create but don't use a certain brand for any reason, however I would love to know your opinion on the Pixel AI editing, I think it's called "Magic Editor if I'm not mistaken, Great video as always.

I find the colors out the box from this phone are lovely, not overly digital, no crazy in camera processing, just clean shots, and they're a dream to edit compared to other phones iv had, o have a similar issue with the noise in desaturated shadows and in low light

you should try the pixel 8 pro and the pixel 9 pro when it releases

Hi - what did you edit the RAW files in.

@deantalksfootball 12 сағат бұрын

How do you connect a mic to this this phone without a mic jack? Bluetooth? I know it's not Leica standards but would this be a good handset for videos and how is the audio playback for having a clear and voice that be heard well from the internal mic of the 8a?

My first ‘smartphone’ with a camera was the O2 X2. It had a 0.2mp sensor!

@Cactuspractice12 19 сағат бұрын

I'm not a photographer or even someone who looks at many images, but it was pretty obvious that image A had much more detail than image B. Image B had a nice, balanced and 'realistic' tone, but there was no fine detail of material grain, etc on that image. Image A was obviously the more expensive camera.

Take a normal raw photo than google photos background blur, you can control the blur and also habe the raw file

@AbimaelOrtiz 16 күн бұрын

A folder with the Raw images is supposed to be automatically created and to transfer them use Quick Share. I don't know if there is a Quick Share app for Apple, but there is one for Windows.

If only Google would have had the charger in the box and at least 90w charging. I think they would have conquered the Android scene....

@marcelinoverazanidesouza Сағат бұрын

These OEMs that remove the charger always do that obligating to purchase one with a slug speed
