Hey: hey hi: how are you, so today I'm going to show you something that it's going to completely change the way that you're looking at your Android smartphone, and it's right here on my laptop, so I mean take a look for yourself. It's a photo of a traffic bear with me. Take a look at this photo and now take a look at this photo. Do you see the difference? It's huge, which is weird because both of these photos were taken on the same day in the same exact conditions. Both of these photos are unedited and both of these photos were taking on my Samsung Galaxy s, 9 plus. So what is the difference here? So the difference here is that one of the photos was taken with the native camera and the other one was taken with the Google basal camera that was ported to the Samsung s 9 plus, and today, I'm, going to show you how you can get this out for yourself for your Android smartphone, and then I'm gonna.
Tell you why this app is so good I think every Android user should have it. So, while I'm adjusting the camera go down into the description below and click on the link, it will take you to this website and at first glance, this website might seem overwhelming because there's a bunch of different versions of the same app, but it doesn't have to be overwhelming, read the Help section of the website, and it will help you to I. Please get into feel where you need to be looking for the right version of this app for your smartphone. It took me about 20 minutes to get the right version for the Samsung, S, Mac, plus and I. Don't think you will have any trouble, it's just trial and error.
Don't move it! Try to install it see if it works. If it doesn't try another one now, once you get the app running it's going to feel like you have a completely new smartphone, because you see my previous phone, the iPhone 6 I was using the camera all the time because it was perfect, even though it was a five-year-old smartphone when I switched to the s9 I, still like the photos from the iPhone 6. Now with the south's against 9, plus, it's really inconsistent, so I started to use the camera less. Unless so, once like this big slap, I mean it felt like that, cutting your smartphone, and it was awesome. So let me just pull up all the photos that I took oh yeah by the way I took a bunch of sample shots with the native app and the pixel app.
So if you want to see them full resolution, I will leave a link down in below in the description below, so you can download all of them full res unedited and check out the differences for yourself. But anyway, let's start with the good stuff, with the good stuff that comes with the SAP and I feel a lot of these things that I'm going to be talking about it's a huge problem, and only for Samsung smartphones, but also for many other Android smartphones. Well, pretty much. If you don't have a Google Pixel phone, your Android smartphone takes crappy photos compared to the iPhone and Google basil is just how it is well it's. It would actually be the perfect time to explain why.
So, if you don't know why this is it's, because there are two things you need to take a photo, you need the card where, then you meet software, so hardware will be the camera sensor and the camera's lens in the software would be the cameras' application now. iPhones do a great job of image processing. This is when your phone translates the information from the camera sensor to an actual image Google. They created the camera app so that it could do better job at image processing so anyway, with let's, let's look at some photos. So, first, we have this photo of a leaf right here now the biggest problem once I got the s9 + was well, the photos looked weird, and it was painful to look at those photos.
So imagine if you take the normal photo and then just over sharpen it, it kind of hurts your head. Well, it doesn't really hurt to your eyes and just if it's hard to look at, and this leave is a perfect example of our sharpening at first. You might even nuns understand, what's going on here, why the picture was kind of off I mean if you compare to the Google Pixel photo. It just looks way better. So, but once you zoom in to both of these shots, you can see that the Samsung picture there's just a lot of our shot.
Man. You can see that on the Google Pixel there's no over sharpening the old sharpening is really noticeable also in this photo, but you might better understand what I'm talking about. It is the same thing at first you'll. Look at it, and it's difficult to look at, but you don't know why. But once you zoom in you will see that you don't get tree branches, you don't get to see the tree branches in both of these photos.
Clearly that mean the Samsung native of what it does is just it just takes the details and always sharpens them. That's why it looks so weird. That's why it's difficult to look at these photos. That's weird because the next thing that we're going to talk about is actually the opposite of our sharpening, which is this weird smoothly. That's happening with photos and I mean it's its so bizarre or like details are over sharpened.
But then you take a look at the photo, and you see like there's this smearing there's this like a blur over the photo like take a look at this shot. There's, if you look in my face and if you look at the jacket, you can see that there's, there's kind of there's no detail there. It looks weird again looks weird: it's just the opposite of the over sharpening. You can see that on my face, it just looks smeared out and that's not with the beautiful Beauty filter on it's just it's. How it is when you would take a photo, let me show you another one now I think this is a perfect example of these weird smoothening.
It's like that's going on. As you can see, there's my camera and I was taking photos outside lovely, take two take photos, and you can just see that the Google Pixel out it just doesn't weigh better job of capturing the image. As an as you can see, the Samsung native that it just smooth lines up, take a look at the grip. There's, barely any details, there take a look at the plastic around the LCD screen. It doesn't look like that in real life, it looks smeared out it's weird and I.
Don't like that. I understand why people are making fun of Android users who are taking photos but Android smartphones I mean the difference is just sound inaudible here. Okay, moving on next up are the inconsistencies that I was talking about, so you never knew if you're going to get a decent photo or if the photo is going to look like crap from New, York, Iceman, plus a little at least that's what that was in my case. So it's like going to take two shots. Both of them were taken with my s9 plastic, which well you know the drill and, as you can see the in these conditions, they don't work that difference because I mean sometimes the native camera app actually did a decent job of processing of image, but then take a look at this.
These photos were taken just seconds apart from each other, and all I did was change. The angle of the camera and Samsung was back added again with their weird shenanigans, over sharpened details and weird smearing effect, which I really do not understand. Okay, so next thing is well pretty much one of the biggest things why you would want to get this ad is the portrait mode, which is completely awesome. I mean the stock portrait mode on the native camera. It's horrible.
It's unusable, and it's just bad take a look. This was shot with the Samsung's native camera app and well. It does quite a decent job of separating the subject that is and focus from the background. Take a look at my beard: there's just no details there and again the smearing that I was talking about this blurriness to just horrible. It's horrible and I'll.
Take a look at the pixels app I mean this looks way better. The difference, of course, is that well, first on the native app you can do portrait mode only with the telephoto lens, with the pixel. You can do portrait mode, but only with the wide-angle lens, and I'm going to talk about this in the bad things section about this camera, but for now the good parts is that I mean it just does a way better job. Look at my face again, there's just way more detail in the beard and also on the sweater, no I, also uh other good things about this. App is well I was taking a lot of photos and I tried to push the camera into these weird lighting situations.
So, first the HDR, it just looks it just works way better than the stock HDR. The stock camera's HDR I mean take a look at these photos, and you can see the sun is shining directly into the lens and the pixels' app does a way better job of exposing both of the highlights and the shadows. That's what's the HDR and here's another shot of which clearly shows HDR, which is just way better on the pixel after then eliminated. One now take a look at this guy, so the conditions were just horrible. There was barely any light and big sole app.
Well, it handled the situation well and then there's Samsung, which just faced bombed into the dirt. It looks like it's. The whole focus is missed because I mean take a look at the shelf. No details whatsoever take a look at the wheels of the car, no details whatsoever. You're, you get the point and, as I said, there is a bunch of photos that I took that you can go and check out full res if you want to because I'm not showing all the shots that I took because there's like 30 40 pictures, so you kind of get it.
The pixel app does a way better job than scene 81. So what's the catch? What do you have to sacrifice to use this out? Well, actually, there are quite a few things you need to be well, you need to consider them before actually using this tablet. So, first on this particular app I couldn't get the telephoto lens to work. It just did not recognize me telephoto lens, which is not a big deal for me. The second thing is well the constant crashing bit, but let me just put it lightly: there is no constant crashing, but if you tweak with the settings, you will get the apt crash and honestly one time the app crashed so badly, I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and instill didn't work.
The only way I got it to work was when I completely uninstalled, that I installed a completely different version of the same app and then uninstalled that and reinstalled with the working version of this app, and only then it started to work again. Another thing which might be a big deal is that I couldn't take photo with the flash because it just froze up, and it didn't work. So in conclusion up it all depends on what which version of the app you land on what kind of phone you have, and it all depends on what you're willing to sacrifice to get decent photos. Anyways I hope you learn something I hope, I helped you, let's get this out and I hope. I will see you next time when I'm posting videos so make sure you subscribe, and I know.
I'll share this with a friend shared. Send this video to a friend that has an Android smartphone and his photos were horrible.
