"Music"
Hey guys It’s Sagar from Tecworkz, and here
is my camera review of the iPhone 10 or the
iPhone X, if you like to call it that.
Every time I get a new smartphone, I make
it a point to travel extensively with it.
That way I get to test out the camera in different
situations, and it also gives me a fairly
good idea, about the battery life that I can
expect, out of any given smartphone.
So in the past 2 weeks that i have had the
iPhone 10, I have just been travelling, and
shot a lot of images with it.
This video is sponsored by MNML case.
They offer MNML cases for all your favourite
smartphones.
Just like their brand name, their cases are
truly minimal.
There is no branding on any of their cases,
and they barely add any bulk or weight to
your beautiful looking smartphone.
Now, before we get to the Image and video
samples, lets get the specs out of the way.
The camera module, is a bit different than
what we have seen, on any iPhones before this.
The orientation of the dual cameras is now
vertical, and it sticks out of the back quite
a bit.
They went with vertical orientation, because
the Face ID tech in the front notch needs
a lot of space, so there wasn’t enough space
left to place these dual cameras in the usual
horizontal position, like on the iPhone 7
and 8 Plus.
Out of the dual cameras, The first camera
has a 28mm wide lens, and the same resolution
of 12 megapixel, with a wide aperture of f/1.8
as we saw on the iPhone 8 Plus.
While the 2nd one also retains a telephoto
lens of 56mm and again has a resolution of
12 megapixel with an aperture of f/2.4.
And now both the cameras have Optical Image
Stabilisation, which means you will get better
images with the telephoto lens even in lower
lighting situations.
Just like on the iPhone 8 Plus, you get Portrait
lighting mode, which lets you add various
professional lighting effects to your shots.
More on this, when we take a look at the image
samples.
These new cameras can now capture 4k videos
at 24,30 and 60fps and 1080p slow motion videos
at 240 fps.
These features are not even available in most
of the high end cameras.
So having them in your smartphone, is very
impressive.
I have said this before, and I am saying it
again, I don’t like that Apple buries the
options to change any of these video resolutions,
deep in the settings app.
So every time you need to shoot at different
resolution or frame rate, you have to go to
settings, scroll down to camera settings,
and then make the desired changes.
I think, they should simplify things, and
let us make these changes, right from within
the camera app.
At the front you have a True Depth 7 megapixel
camera with an aperture of f/2.2.
Now lets take a look at the image and video
samples from this phone.
But before we get to that, make sure you hit
the subscribe button, so you don’t miss
out on any of the amazing videos coming up
on this channel.
All the images are shot in the auto mode,
with auto HDR turned on.
The main camera is basically the same sensor
that we saw on the iPhone 8 Plus, and we know
that it takes amazing images.
You can tell, that the colours are much more
saturated and vibrant, than what we are used
to seeing from iPhones, Apple has made some
changes to its image processing algorithm,
and now it adds a bit of punch to the images.
This is one of the best camera I have every
used, and looking at these results, I feel
extremely confident about its performance.
You can now have the HDR mode turned on all
the time, and you should actually do that.
Here are images with and without the HDR mode,
and look at how good the images with HDR mode
turn out.
Dynamic range of this camera is just amazing.
There are a lot of details in every image
that you take, and thanks to the wide f/1.8
aperture, you get amazing close up shots.
Auto focus is fast and accurate, which is
very important while taking these close up
shots.
Now here are a few images shot with the normal
and telephoto lens.
The telephoto lens, helps in capturing distant
objects clearly.
You can see from these images, how much of
an optical zoom it provides.
Thanks to the optical stabilisation on this
telephoto lens, you get better, sharper images,
even in low light.
Wider aperture and optical stabilisation on
the telephoto lens, means we should also get
better portrait mode images.
But honestly, I don’t see a huge difference
between the portrait images from the 10 and
the 8 Plus, which also takes amazing shots.
There is less noise in the low light portrait
shots, and they look really sharp and crisp.
Just like on any other phone, portrait mode
might not work every single time.
Sometimes it works wonders, but there are
also times, when it just doesn’t want to
focus on a particular subject, like you see
in these shots.
So about the portrait lighting mode, its in
beta right now, and it is not perfect by any
means, but if you take some time with the
shot and get it right, you can have some really
amazing looking images.
As light starts to go down or if you are shooting
under artificial lights, you can still pull
off some very good shots, and the noise levels
are very minimal.
Having optical image stabilisation also helps,
as it allows the sensor to capture more light,
giving us sharper and much detailed images,
with lower noise in them.
If you like taking images with the front facing
camera, the 7 megapixel sensor delivered great
results in ample light.
It might over expose certain parts of the
image, but if you take a moment adjusting
the exposure, results are so much better.
It might not be the best for taking images
in low light, but in artificial light, you
can pull off some good selfies.
The True depth front facing camera, now lets
you take portrait mode selfies, while it might
not be as good as the portrait mode selfies
from the Pixel 2 or the Pixel 2 XL, I think
it delivers good results in ample light.
Coming to the video footage, the iPhone 10
is one of the best in its class, and the video
it shoots is very stable, thanks to the Optical
Image Stabilisation on both the lenses.
This gives me the confidence, to use the telephoto
camera more often while shooting videos, which
I rarely used before.
And as I said before, you can now even shoot
4K videos in 24,30 and 60fps.
240fps slow motion videos in 1080p resolution
are just buttery smooth.
I love shooting and looking at these slow
motion videos, they are so good.
This is without a doubt, the best camera on
an iPhone yet.
Thanks to the wide aperture and OIS on the
telephoto lens, you can take some amazing
low light and portrait shots, which was not
possible from the iPhones before this.
iPhone 8 Plus can also take some amazing images,
but the performance of the 10, is slightly
above that.
But if you consider the price, you have to
pay a lot more, to get just a slight bump
in the camera performance.
If you have the money, and want the absolute
best camera on your smartphone, go with the
iPhone10 without even giving it a second thought.
But if you don’t care for the portrait mode
on the front facing camera, I would suggest
you to consider the iPhone 8 Plus as well.
I will be comparing the camera on the iPhone
10 with that of the 8 Plus in a few days,
and then we will see the actual difference
between the performance of the two.
