A trick I do with the V60 when I want to obey the 180 degree shutter rule is to switch to the ultra wide sensor which has a smaller aperture, then crop in post. Wish that electric glass Oneplus debuted on their concept phone will reappear

[FAT]

That is why variable aperture needs to be mainstream on flagship-grade phones. Sony Xperia Pro-I may not use the whole 1" sensor canvas, but having two different aperture truly helps a lot to reduce bokeh and exposure.

I don't mind having a thick phone if we can get rid of the camera bump and get a bigger battery. I still love the LG V50 and Nokia 9 PureView's flushed rear camera design. It look so beautifully elegant.

P.S. I so miss that Samsung Galaxy S4/K zoom. I would be so happy if we can get a 1" sensor with variable aperture and a proper optical zoom mechanism. Even a maximum 5x optical zoom is still fine by me.

I'm hoping/expecting the new Sony pro ii (or whatever they call it) to implement a full 1" type sensor plus the variable aperture that they had on the first iteration, though a fully variable rather than 2 fixed apertures would be great. Add a 2nd 1inch type sensor with a longer focal length 70-80mm equivalent for portraits etc and I'd be totally in...I don't think longer or variable zoom is really necessary especially with the bigger sensor and possibly a few more mega-pickles to play with (i e. 48 allowing the middle 12 for a centre crop 'zoom' in good light for a bit more reach. On the downside I'd probably need to remortgage the house to get it!

i like the idea of thicker phone. bigger sensor can be put in, larger battery also can be put in. and those camera hump can be removed completely, so no issue to put it on a phone holder. surely it not for the mainstream market, but for the targeted customer that will probably buy the phone to be their 1st camera setup for doing vlogging or maybe 1st job for their wedding videographer job, that would be excellent. shooting videos without having concerns on battery drain and also can do post-production job all in 1 device. ohh man, that would be my dream phone. and also have support for desktop mode, because differences for editing video between using just finger and using mouse and keyboard is huuuuggeee differences.

The sometimes blurry images out of 1 inch sensor are really poor, makes me want to wait for future technologies. Great video!

[BrianGlaze]

Honestly I don't mind those compromises at all 👀. I would love a bigger body with a bigger battery.

[superflo]

i have a vivo x80 pro, and when i post on social media like facebook, my friends always asks me what camera im using coz its looks awesome

[Xefox]

I agree theres a lot of excellent cameras on midrangers. I think a lot of your viewers probably fancy themselves as very tech savvy and will convince themselves that they'll get good use out of a $1k machine (myself included lol)

[gigamoment]

I see that you really know your stuff, that's why I have subscribed immediately. Please keep it like this.

I think the next big step for smartphones with very large sensors is to use variable aperture. If Xiaomi 13 Ultra (or any upcoming 1") does this, I believe many people will probably want that phone (myself included).

[javianbrown]

Was nice seeing the Galaxy S4 zoom in 2023

[solas]

Thanks. Good points. Haven't seen anyone else talking about disadvantages of the 1 inch type sensors. For just recording family life there is really not that much need for the very large sensors and the depth of field can be problematic. Many consumers would be better served with a cheaper phone. For people that are interested in photography and pixel peep on photos maybe they are still the way to go though

[blackboxmobile]

Ok said it in the previous video ... But again this is why you're the best. Not many take the time to explain ... Nailed it ... Especially with the shallow range of focus... Really struggling with the Pixel 7 in this category. Have to line up the shot a certain way to get everything in focus. As always great vid

[alexthehammer]

You can use zeiss EDoF or zeiss APC in the landscape option of the camera menu if vivo x90 pro plus

[broodewd]

I completely hear the advice that more expensive doesn't mean it'll best suit your personal needs. That being said, I have a young toddler that's moving faster by the day, I feel that a larger (or largest) sensor is the only solution to capture a non blurry photo of my kid, especially in lower indoor lighting. Am I wrong? Would love advice from anyone. My S10+ has been struggling to keep up.

I am using an aps-c camera and actually was considering getting a 1" camera because of the considerable size difference. I don't need aps-c sensor always and smartphone cameras are not that good. Having an option for a 1" camera on a phone is great. I might consider getting a phone for this purpose

[-MrEVIL-]

variable one inch coming possibly with Xiaomi 13 ultra 😮

[babulmohanty]

Very well explained. I will take the large sensors though, but with variable aperture. All hail the Xiaomi 13 Ultra.

1:14 this video feels aged well. After Xioami 13 ultra laucher
1:48 Xioami can use 67 mm nd filter

The variable aperture on the Mate 50 Pro does help, and it actually gives enough light gathering capacity at F1.4 on the 1/1.5" sensor that you don't really miss having a 1" sensor with an F1.9 aperture... well, at least in terms of light gathering.

In terms of raw optical resolution, there's still no replacement for displacement (To borrow an automotive term) and the bigger sensors are still superior when it comes to pixel peeping detail. Which matters for those of us who do need pixel peeping detail, (like when cropping in 1.5 to 2x from a shot from the main camera) but for 99.9% of consumers, it's not that big a deal. And with many opting for shorter telephotos with bigger sensors, it is becoming even less of an issue going forward. Eventually, the magic formula might be three 1/1.5" sensors in three different focal lengths. Who knows? But either way, it's nice that after a step backwards during the pandemic, cameras are getting bigger and better again.
