Editorializing in the title isn't necessary.
For my money, though, the quality is actually fairly middle-of-the-road. The non-tracked shots are shaky, the highlights are blown out, and shadow detail is almost completely non-existent. Hardly "amazing".
- ajross 15y agoMiddle of the road vs. which devices? Seems as good or better than any mobile device output I've seen so far. Maybe other 1080p devices (this isn't the first) are comparable, I just haven't seen it. And the bit about shaky shots seems like a misplaced criticism of the cinematography. I don't think Google is trying to put this up for an Oscar: they're showing of their phone. But agreed: it's hard to hold those tiny devices steady. :)
- sp332 15y agoWhen would having a blown-out 1080p video be preferable to a 720p video with good dynamic range? I can make a 4K video camera on a phone if it doesn't have to actually work :)
- ajross 15y agoThat's not a reply to the question, though. If this is device's video capture is "middle of the road" where does the high end lie? Are there better demos out there from other manufacturers? If not, why?
- skeletonjelly 15y agoExactly. For any device with that much bandwidth of video data and CPU processing power all within the width of a few millimeters I'd say that's amazing.
- mark_up 15y agoThis is the usual response Apple fanboys make... until the next iPhone comes out and it has exactly the feature they said wasn't necessary. 1080p is better than 720p, except when you only have 720p.
- dillon 15y agoSorry for that, it was the first thought in my mind when I saw the video, but you are right and I took care of it.
