Plus he lied about what his company could actually do from the beginning, leading to an inflated stock price. The idea was Tesla was streets ahead of the rest of the industry, in reality they weren’t all that far ahead and other brands surpassed them quickly.
I recommend you guys also watch the video. But here is my consensus after watching a few of these videos. Comparing the vivo x100 series and the xiaomi 14 ultra
The vivo is more consistent but also more phone like ie pixel output. Tbf the vivo is what the pixel output should be.
The Xiaomi is more camera esquc and less consistent. But tries to be more like film and less digital.
I must admit I like the Vivo way better, it’s sharper clearer and has better colors. classic Film is clearly inferior by now, and if you want that retro look, it should be an optional effect.
I must say I’m generally impressed by Xiaomi cameras in general, but the blow out in light areas in many scenes is annoying to me, my Xiaomi 13T Pro does that too. To me it seems Vivo simply does an overall better job. Maybe experts disagree, but if it’s because they find the duller pictures more “natural” or "authentic"I think they completely miss the point of taking a picture to begin with.
It’s absolutely amazing when the camera can see better than the human eye, and they can especially in the dark now. Human eyes are not perfect, and a digital camera should not be faulted for doing a better job. Like some professional photographers seem to believe.
I don’t think most people would disagree let alone experts. The issue with vivo’s/Google’s style of output is that it’s hard to get right. With the current pixels they mess up hard because the moment you try to crop the entire image falls apart. This has been an issue with the pixels since the 5.
the moment you try to crop the entire image falls apart.
I have no idea why or how that would happen. Sounds like a software bug, you generally don’t crop while taking a photo, that’s something you do afterwards. So that doesn’t sound like a camera or filter issue.
I’m talking about afterwards. Because in the viewfinder it looks fine. But after it’s done post processing. It somehow loses detail as if they applied a dehazing filter to the photo. Idk how Lemdroid deals with compression but here is an example.
But if I understand you right, this only happens when you crop the picture? Are these taken shortly after each other? The clouds are VERY different between the two. If they are, the removal of the haze would obviously be the AI, on my phone that can be disabled.But maybe they cheat and have AI effects on anyway? I’ll have to experiment a bit with that.
Sorry when, I mean crop. I’m talking about viewing the photo in full screen mode/zooming in to fit the screen in landscape mode. That’s when I noticed these kind of weird effects happening like dehazing, over sharpening and this kind of loss of detail
The photos were taken like 1 minute apart and the clouds are in the same position. Xperia was more true to the scene as in it was a hazy day. While the pixel was more true to the color science of the moment.
OK that makes more sense. 😀
It’s interesting how much AI can do, and that it’s sometimes bad, I never used the AI on my phone, because I couldn’t see any difference when using the viewfinder. So I never actually made a shot with it, because I thought it did nothing. So I used Occam’s razor and disabled it.
We have a picture made for hanging on the wall, that my wife took, a hazy winter day with some snow, where the haze is what makes the picture amazing in our opinion. If the AI can’t be disabled, that would have completely ruined the picture!
Still the camera without AI remains in some situations better than the human eye. Like a sun down that is too sharp to look at, the camera can capture perfectly.
That’s really neat. I didn’t know anybody was still working on a desktop mode for Android and I definitely didn’t know about running Windows applications.
Because this is the specific phone he’s reviewing. ETA PRIME pretty much just buys or gets sent(?) a bunch of gadgets and runs them all through the same array of emulators and benchmarks to see how they perform. It gets kind of boring lately since most emulation is piss easy now, but this is neat.
The video is about the new features of Android 15, also known as Android 15 Vanilla Ice-cream. Here is a summary of the video:
Design and Customization:
The Android logo is now a triangular shape with a small spaceship in the middle.
You can save app pairs in split-screen mode.
The volume panel has a new design with thicker pill-shaped sliders and lets you access extra features like audio picker and live caption.
Pixel launcher got improvements in the widgets panel. You can now get more recommendations and the ability to add widgets with a single tap.
Functionality:
Private space: This feature allows you to download new apps and save files that are separate from your main storage. You can access it with a passcode or Biometrics.
Archive apps: You can now archive apps to free up space while still keeping parts of the app so that you can reinstall it faster in the future.
Satellite messaging: This feature is available for T-Mobile users for now. It allows you to text anyone including emergency services even in remote areas.
Bluetooth will automatically turn on again the very next day if you turn it off. This is because of the new Find My Device Network that uses Bluetooth to help locate lost devices.
You can now use your Android device as a webcam with high-quality mode.
You can set a default wallet app other than Google Wallet.
Improved lock screen options on Pixel Fold and Pixel Tablet.
You can now check the health of your storage chip on Pixel devices.
More control over what happens when you fold or unfold the Pixel Fold device.
Predictive back gestures: When you swipe to go back, you will see a sneak peek of the previous page.
Other Features:
Improved desktop mode with features like split-screen and freeform windows.
New keyboard features including preview, sticky keys, slow keys, and bounce keys.
New screen saver that lets you control all of your Smart Home Products.
Color contrast option to adjust the contrast of the text, buttons, and icons.
Audio sharing: This feature lets others listen to the same music that you’re listening to on their headphones.
Adaptive timeout: This feature automatically turns off your screen a bit earlier than what you set it to if it finds out that you’re not using your device.
App quarantine: This feature lets you quarantine apps so that they won’t be able to show notifications or run in the background.
Option to disable limiting the default frame rate for games.
The Unitree G1 base model is priced at $16,000. It doesn’t often get talked about in discussions of robots, but I think Chinese manufacturing capability is very important. They will likely be the first to make affordable humanoid robots that take off at the consumer level and sell in the millions.
