wolf33d Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Good News. Also the double lens on the Plus with 2 different focal. The photo part will be greatly improved by this and we should get good video for a phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBounce Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Yes this is great n all, but that means a shutter speed of 120 minimum to get motion right. And this is on a tiny sensor, so low light will suck... even more than usual. Just a guess... hope I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoodlum Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I wonder how long the telephoto will be? It needs to be at least 75mm equivalent to be of much use since the sensor for the tele lens is slightly smaller than wide angle sensor. Also the tele end has no OIS so it would be limited to good light use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damphousse Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I've had a phone that can do 4k for years. My advice? Curb your enthusiasm. 4k definitely adds more detail in good light but you still have the abysmal lack of dynamic range and noise in anything other than ideal light.

Nikkor Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 They should also put the tele thing on the small one, the plus is gigantic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoodlum Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Support for 4k60p suggests that it could also support higher quality 1080p120. 2 minutes ago, Nikkor said: They should also put the tele thing on the small one, the plus is gigantic. There many not be enough room for a 2nd sensor on the smaller phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JurijTurnsek Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 The list of new features looks impressive. Android flagships really only get some upgrades every year or so and then the same specs are reused that year by every brand. I was extremely disappointed that the Samsung Note 7, which is essentially a S7 Edge with a stylus, took so long to bring to market with only the useless retina scanner as a new feature. 4K60p sounds really appealing, can't wait for an Android phone to get it. EDIT: All VR capable Android smartphones should at least be able to play 4K60p, so recording isn't far of. The new nexus phones are getting brand new Sony sensors, so maybe 60p is coming?

The limiting factors has been the processing capabilities to create 4k60p content without overheating. Android phones will only be able to support it once the latest Snapdragon processor can do it without overheating. JurijTurnsek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoodlum Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I have not seen any confirmation of support for 4k60p yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil A Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Because it doesn't. UHD up to 30fps, FHD up to 120fps and 720p up to 240fps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want this kinda innovation look to Samsung, not Apple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markr041 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 What do you mean, Apple doesn't innovate - they left out the headphone jack. No one else has done that. Now, that's innovation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinegain Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I'd personally be more interested in the new LG V20 or ZTE Nubia Z11 (w/ NeoVision). andrgl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonesy Jones Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 My understanding was that removing the headphone jack was essential for water resistance. And they'll be including EarPods with lightning plug, and additionally a lightning to headphone jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can't they remove the headphone jack from their water resistant flagships too? Would be way easier for Apple to fuck its customers base.
