Manmohan Chandolu, the General Manager at Poco India, has taken to Twitter (via XDA developers) to confirm that these new camera modes will roll out to devices in the coming weeks. We will continue to focus on providing the best experience on POCO F1. We are working with our partners to also provide Widevine L1 certification.
#PIXEL 3XL F1 2019 IMAGE UPDATE#
We are excited to see what else the MIUI 10 stable release brings next month, but the three added camera features will be amazing additions to an already exceptional smartphone.Īnd regarding 4K 60 FPS, we will be rolling it out in the stable update in February. The Xiaomi Pocophone F1 camera was particularly impressive given you’d expect some corners to be cut especially in the photo and video capabilities department to reach that ridiculously low entry price. With such great specifications for the price, jamming in the Snapdragon 845 chipset, 6/8GB RAM and a big 4,000mAh battery, the sub-$350 price-tag belied its actual day-to-day performance and overall experience. That will be thanks to the addition of Night mode for photos, 960FPS slow-mo, and 4K 60FPS video recording, all of which are heading to the Xiaomi Pocophone F1 over the next couple of months. The price point makes it such an amazing package, and it seems it will get even more enticing.
Having these devices in your pocket can make sure you never miss the shot, but you shouldn't say goodbye to your DSLR, just yet.Īll Canon DSLR photographs used were JPEGs to keep the test fair and featured little or no post-processing, except where stated.There is so much to love about the Pocophone F1, it’s a superb budget smartphone that is only really let down (at least in the US) by a lack of carrier support. The art of photography is capturing powerful moments in time, immortalising scenes that seconds later will change or disappear. Now, however, with the technology progressing at the astronomical pace it is, these devices are amazingly powerful tools. Previously, if you didn't have your DSLR then the picture you could take on your smartphone would often look like a snapshot that you may never look at again.
However, with a DSLR in your hand you are ultimately more thoughtful about what you are capturing and the art of it and if you care to spend a little more time, will typically produce a nicer image. If you have an eye for a good composition, it will facilitate the capturing stunning photographs it in a way which will compel you to share it. One of the Pixel's greatest strengths is how easy it makes it take a great shot. Both the Canon and the Pixel thrive in these environments but the Canon takes it here. While taking landscape pictures of the city it was hard to split the two cameras as they both captured a lot of detail, were sharp and had accurate colours.
This is also an area where the DSLR shone with the constant low aperture offering some great subject separation. On a bright day shooting buildings it handled exposure well and offering nice, shape and high contrast images which are pretty much ready to share straight out of the device.
The DSLR does trump the Pixel here as the colours look more natural and the image is sharper but it's not beaten it by any huge margin. Two shots were taken with the Pixel using the normal camera and Night Sight, both offering slightly different but equally impressive results. Both handled the complex scenes really well. It was a great place to pit the two cameras up against each other. Macau is a neon paradise, a complete visual assault.
