What's up and welcome to up, so it gives most lift tech. Today, we're going to be pinning the razor phone versus the iPhone 10 in an epic camera test. Now you me, and everyone is expecting the iPhone 10 to crush the razor phone. This is razors first smartphone and, as almost all first smartphones go. The camera does struggle on the razor phone, particularly in certain situations, but either way. I think the iPhone 10 should be an interesting baseline to compare the razor phone to I can't wait to find out what happens here.
We go both have dual 12 megapixel cameras on the back, both have 1.8 aperture for the wide-angle, but the iPhone 10 has a slightly better aperture of 2.4 for the zoom lens, while the razor phone only has 2.6 the razor phone's front-facing camera is an 8 megapixel, f 2.0, while the iPhones is a 7 megapixel F 2.2 chatting with the razor team at CES. They confirm that the main camera sensor in the razor phone is the same one. That's in the Galaxy S7. That means the razor phone has a solid camera sensor and if photos turn out terrible, it's probably because the sensor is being limited by the razor camera app. As far as the software goes, racer recently updated their camera app, which is good, and I'm glad they're still supporting their camera, but it still leaves a lot to be desired.
The HDR mode is not the best, sometimes leaving it with odd colored photos. It also doesn't have a portrait mode. The easiest alternative is open. Camera, a free camera app available on the Play Store, open camera gives the user great manual controls and a lot of settings that are not normally available to most users, including video bit rates and lots of customizations. It especially has a much better HDR mode.
The downside of open camera is that the second-long lens version of the camera is no longer available when using it with the razor phone. The arguably better option is Google's own camera, app that they used on the Google Pixel to excel. In theory, it should bring better color replication, better, auto, focusing better auto exposure, portrait mode and better video stabilization, but to get it you're going to have to download a hacked version of it through a third party, and that just seems sketchy on top of that it'll likely be buggy with some features, not even working on most phones. That said, if enough of you guys want me to test out Google's camera app in a future video I'll, do it just. Let me know in the comments down below, if that's something you'd like to see for this test, we're using a mix of the default razor camera app and the open camera app on the razor phone I'm also check marking, which photo I think is better in each situation.
The biggest thing I noticed is that the iPhone 10 tended to capture more detail and part of that is better, auto, focusing and generally better auto exposure, but part of that is also Apple. Just has a better sensor in the camera and better algorithms for interpreting the sensor data. Something else that's nice is the iPhone.10 automatically turns HDR mode on and off. When it detects that the photo could benefit from it, while the razor phone requires you to manually turn it on for both camera apps and both apps require additional time to take an HDR photo well with the iPhone. It's just instant, and you don't even notice it if I'm being honest, I didn't expect the razor phone to have this good of a camera.
With the majority of the shots, both images. Look great I would even say that, with some images like this one I actually prefer the colors in detail that the razor phone puts out, but overall, the iPhone 10 definitely pulls ahead with noticeably better overall photos. The eight megapixel front-facing camera on the razor phone is shockingly good, great overall detail. My only issue is that the skin tones tend to appear more reddish than I would like. Overall, both phones have fantastic front cameras.
The lack of portrait mode on the razor phone is a bummer, but you can also use an app like after focus. If you want to create a similar digital effect, you can get great results with these apps, but you'll have to put an extra effort by comparison to a phone that can do it all automatically audio recording on the razor phone leaves a lot to be desired. Well, the mic is great for phone calls recording video with it is pretty matte, while the iPhone 10 has great clarity. Overall, here's a couple audio samples- if you want to check it out and let's tap on my face one more time, and now I'm able to leave and come back and see how it automatically handles the situation all right. So this is a low-light shot.
This is not very ideal lighting. We have the lights extremely dim over here now and blue light. In the background, how does it look? How is the exposure? Is the noise better on the iPhone 10 with the razor okay? So now this is up close in the dim lighting. How does it look good, bad, let's find out of the box. Video stabilization is much better on the iPhone 10, but this is one of the situations where I wonder if the Google camera app could improve the razor phones, digital image stabilization.
This is the Oslo gimbals decided I want to give the razor phone a chance on the Oslo gimbals and see how it performed. It actually did surprisingly well check out the sample footage. So we have a pretty clear winner. The iPhone 10 definitely won out. It has better colors, but our autofocusing a better overall camera, app a lot more options such as the portrait mode, better video stabilization, but the razor phone got its hits in.
It definitely had some really spectacular images. The biggest issue with the razor phone overall is its consistency. Half the photos you take with the razor phone are gonna, be fantastic and half of them are gonna, be off in some way, slightly out of focus or the exposure isn't quite perfect. I thought the razor phone was gonna. Have an absolutely terrible camera turns out.
It's pretty passable. Most people would be pretty happy with the razor phone if you're worried about the camera on the razor phone I, wouldn't really let that hold you back from purchasing it, unless, of course, you want the absolute best if you're willing to work around the non optimized software, the razor phone can actually provide images that are competitive with the other major manufacturers. So that's the camera comparison of the razor phone versus the iPhone 10 I'll be posting my overall impressions and whether I think the razor phone is worth buying coming up very soon. I also did a slow-motion comparison between the razor phone and the note 8 and looked at the benefits the 120 Hertz display gives you on the razor phone link down below to that video as well, and if you enjoyed this video, don't forget, subscribe hit that notification bell and thumbs up. We'll see you next time, Brandon out.
