I like the way you drop your facts. But I need citations for personal research. Thank you.

I hope I don't get banned by spambot

1) This photographer dude dared to compare a DSLR with a smartphone camera. Like who does that?

2) A straightforward opinion on the pros and cons of the Pixel 4 camera. As with nearly every review, the absence of the ultrawide camera is a top con.

3) Mi Note 10 vs Pixel 4. 108MP vs 12MP. Is camera hardware all there is to picture quality?

4) Pixel 4XL vs iPhone 11 Pro - an in-depth camera review with pics. He took time to highlight the strengths of each.

5) A detailed attempt at explaining computational photography. While I think some parts were not so accurate, I like this because of the new terms I learnt. You can use this as a guide for a deeper dive, as it is still somewhat of a personal opinion.

A 1080p display is sharper.
That doesn't mean you can't use 720p videos on it tho. It might only appear slightly less sharp.

okay but can I download a 1080p video resolution and then watch it on 720p display

Thanks a lot bro. I am very grateful. *Runs off to jack like a jackometer*

no probs. Are you a photographer? The interest screams 'I like photography'. Or maybe nerd things?

I can't snap good pics to save a life, but at least I can read about it.

Yes you can

Sure you can.

S20 devices at some point few months from now

Bro, the truth is that the Samsung phone at that price is the S10 (not plus) and can be gotten for a little over 220k. Then more for the plus. These are phones released around this time last year to show you how expensive these flagships are compared to what they offer. The Samsung phone that you can get for 200k is basically the s10e (although it can be seen for 190k sha). But compare those phones with the mi 10. Even the person saying he'll rather get an iPhone than a xiaomi at that price, like seriously? Can you see a new 2017 iPhone X for 200k? unless second hand. The iPhone 11 self that's just a rehash of iPhone Xr starts at 260k.

Another phone that's at 200k is the OnePlus 7t pro. But compare the specs with the mi 10. The mi 10 is the best at that price currently. I thought we've moved pass this brand name of a thing

Let me drop this here for reference purposes.

Doesn't matter if we buy it or not.

What's the point of a tech thread if people can't discuss without exhibiting Apple level loyalty.
It's just a mobile phone bro!

I don't understand why you people get scared when Sammy and the rest gets mentioned.
It's not like people won't buy what they can afford at the end of the discussions. My man.. It's Sammy and the rest that get scared whenever xiaomi launch new device.. And even when xiaomi is mentioned sef na instant malaria dey whole other brand users

I bet tomorrow they would still say it was manufactured by Samsung.

This phone is so tempting sha. Too bad the heart and the wallet do not always agree.

I am an amateur photographer actually as well as a tech nerd. I'm still learning.

I'm dedicated to spreading the love of "photography on the cheap amongst my fellow Nigerians.

Not just you. Even my Redmi 7 notch dey annoy me. But wetin man go do.

Hehehe. Guilty conscience

You have been so uncomfortable since the announcement was made. We don't need a soothsayer to tell us.

You claim other flagship phones are better, yet you're still sweating.

From display, you jumped to stereo speakers, then to equalisers. Kilode

You go dey alright Las las

Enter the Nairaland search bar and type "The Gallery (Mobile Photography/Art).

You'll see everything there.

None bro.

all hail google search.

Anyway the point is, photography is moving towards a direction where there is more reliance on software and less on hardware (optical) parts. While most manufacturers use it to an extent to compensate for the limitations of their camera hardware, no one holds a candle to Google. The future of photography lies in programming.

It's why I was amused when you guys talked about the pixel 4 using the same camera hardware as 3 and a Xiaomi phone and concluding the iPhone smokes it as a result. Pixel 4 that can be used in place of a DSLR as an astrophotography camera. Or is it the feature that recognizes familiar faces in real time (even in a crowd) and tries to focus on them? You even went on to mention image processing!

Go read about how google implements computational photography in their pixel phones.

I like how you recognise that other manufacturers are also using software to enhance mobile photography. And iPhone is not left out. The iPhone 11 series especially. Like I said earlier, one area pixel triumphed over iPhone was night mode. Now, i can categorically tell you, the iPhone 11 series takes better night mode pictures than the pixel 4. Hardware + software = incredible shots. Photography wise, iPhone has up their game in the 11 series. They are giving Pixel a run for their money

Lol. Preference my guy. People wey dey buy iPhones and Samsung; some dey tech savvy too. It all boils down to choice. Like I said, i no fit carry 200k buy xiaomi phone. That one no mean say the phone no grab

Boss I understand nah but my question is which other phone do you want to buy for 200k? Unless it's about preference and not bang for buck/value for money then I can understand. Maybe we shouldn't judge Kng Gezy when he says A10 is better than mi 9t because it's his "preference"

as long as you don't insist the iPhone smokes the Pixel, we can agree to disagree.

It's why I asked earlier if you meant the camera hardware. I only continued the argument because you said 'in everything'. Pixel 4 doesn't have the best hardware there is (doesn't even have ultra wide camera, and the battery sucks for the base Pixel 4), but when it comes to camera software, no one comes close to Google.

The iPhone camera software has improved drastically with the 11 Pro, but difference is still like Google Assistant vs Siri. Google is the Machine Learning king. Imagine what they would do with a far better sensor.

In the end, there is plenty space under the sky to accommodate all our different opinions. So, this is me signing out on that argument.

olayinkajnr:


None bro.

oh, ok. I see. You don't even want phones to have selfie cameras.

Lmao.

I quoted you cos I knew you were referring to me as I hardly post on this thread.

Like I said, some of you take these things too seriously.
All I did was engage a few mentions I got, all of a sudden, phone is my problem in life to make me uncomfortable

Just when we thought Apple had the weirdest fans.
