Over the weekend Orange.ro accidentally published the product page for the Galaxy S9. It was quickly pulled, causing the link to redirect to general handsets, but the original details can still be viewed thanks to web caching. What Orange Romania revealed is the Galaxy S9 will indeed stick with the 5.8-inch Quad HD OLED ‘Infinity Display’ introduced with […]
The iPhone X features one of the greatest cameras ever put in a smartphone. Well, two of the greatest cameras since it actually features two sensors. One with a wide angle (28mm, f1.8) lens and the other with a “telephoto” (56mm, f2.4) lens. These shoot 12mp photos, but more importantly for the mobile filmmakers out there, they are capable of capturing video at 4k/60fps & 1080p/240fps using either lens, PLUS with optical image stabilization.
With this in mind, I know I had to put it to the test ASAP. How soon you ask? Before I even got it out of the box. Due to the sheer impossibility of this, I asked my friend and fellow YouTuber Stetson Doggett to come help and bring along his recently unboxed iPhone X so I could fulfill my iPhone-ception desires. It was hard at times to resist just filming the unboxing with my Sony A7Sii, but armed with just the iPhone X, a DJI Osmo Mobile, and tripod adapter — we set out to film an unboxing video that would make J.J. Abrams jealous. Let me know what you think.
Overall I personally was very impressed with the quality of footage I was able to shoot with the iPhone X. I’m someone who loves super long lenses and lots of bokeh, so setting out to shoot an unboxing with only a 24mm & 58mm available was definitely daunting. With a little practice though (and some over the top lens flares) I found that capturing the gorgeous looking shots I was imagining was entirely possible.

His newest series “Phone Deals” is already on its second episode — and it’s a Valentine’s Day special. So if […]
