I'm a photographer and I already knows these basic concepts, but I am AMAZED by the quality of this video and the way you visually "teach" this concepts. Good job Marques, this will be my reccomended lesson on depth of field for newbie photographers, rather than books!
Honestly, DSLRs and other more professional grade cameras are mainly best at shots that are pre-framed and have a little bit of staging or setup. As far as just point and shoot goes it's very difficult to beat what a smartphone can do.
@TheLingo56 , That sounds like bullshit. Smartphones don't have good zoom, or any tools, really, to make a good shoot. I would never make any good photos with smartphone no matter the occasion, just because of quality, or tools I have with me.
And the fact that any of these phones have so much more to offer for the price, while hasselblad is just for taking pics, which is great if thats your job or you are loaded af, but to me the portrait modes look amazing for what they are.
I think the pixel is dual pixels if I'm not wrong. But Pixel 2 mostly uses AI and software to overcome the depth perception that can only be done with dual cameras
Eeriewolf ikr. And he's still just a kid. For a guy who's born in the 90s this guy has accomplished a lot. Quality content each time. Definitely the best tech-youtuber on the planet rn. Nikki is a really lucky girl! Keep it up Marques! Love you man!
I Am If you're going to say Android, it needs to be iOS. Android is software, Galaxy is a phone line, and Samsung is a company. Just like iOS -> iPhone -> Apple
Yea you can. As much as I love me some MKBHD... he should have used a bit of Google himself. It's Qualcomm IP that outlines the subjects, not the camera(s). Apple uses it and doesn't pay... hence the reasoning behind Qualcomm adding patents for portrait mode to the lawsuit. Need Marques to explain it better. (pun intended)
The pixel just shits on every phone when it comes to that fucking camera. This is coming from a long time Apple fan. I still believe the Note 8 needs to work on stuff like contrast, white balance and Saturation.
totally sure, I had 2 of those myself, not that it did it in real time, in editing menu, but still it was offered option because it had 2 cameras on the back so it could do it
IMHO this is the best video you've ever done because it combines your unrivalled production quality with the technical aspects of photography which fascinate me.
Yep! Had a dual cam specifically for doing things like artificial bokeh, but then again, HTC decided to use that crap ultrapixel thing and make every photo crap if it was viewed on anything with less pixel density than a smartphone (Had one for almost 3 years, loved every last thing in the phone but the camera).
The HTC One M8 was actually fantastic! They kinda low key released a One M8S which fixed the phones only issue (the 4MP camera) but seriously the m8 was the closest phone to perfect I've ever had
I've used that phone and what you're saying is just false, there's no "bokeh" effect. HTC's approach to the dual camera system is rather useless, they call it ultra pixels, photos were good for a 4MP sensor but no portrait mod whatsoever.
When you realize apple has triple cameras one on the front and two on the back. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. so does other smart phones, LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Vijay Kather you guys didn't get the point. Watch the video again. The portrait mode increased the distance for the blur effect to work. It was before but the object needs to be close to the camera.
Exactly. When I've heard that iPhone 7 Plus was the first phone which had this feature, I thought "Wasn't something before 7+ released with background blur feature?"
Marques is slowly integrating the word "trash" and "garbage" into his vocabulary,idk if thats a good thing or a bad thing ,but someone has to mention it ,there I said it...
yo I hope you read this, every time I watch one of your videos and I can tell that ur not tryna purposely make it past that 10min mark I get so happy. Been watching u forever ur just an honest ass dude who does really well for himself and makes great content. No sellouts or bullshit, glad u made it this far man 👍💪
sorry to burst your bubble but no phone camera will ever be better than the Hasselblad or any dslr camera. the pictures you see on billboards, magazines, posters, etc are always taken with an actual camera. why? sensors and lenses. bigger sensors mean better low lighting and field of view, different lenses for different use, and sky is the limit with editing due to the large size of the picture files. There's a reason why billboards, magazines, posters, etc. dont use phone cameras. theyre just not as good.
Adrian, how about you turn down the snobbery and argue rationally instead? It seems you are the one in a bubble you just got scared will burst. I'm a photo hobbyist, but agree it did look better than the Hasselblad one one or two of the pictures. The reason is that the smartphone companies are quite aggressive on automatic editing of the pictures: The phone guesses what type of picture it is, considers the color space in the picture and makes adjustments towards what humans generally find more attractive: Vibrant and warm colors, with some exceptions. This means that the JPEG straight out of camera the phone will sometimes look better, and it's easier and quicker to share the photo. Reasons why I still bought a new lens for my mirrorless camera just yesterday? 1: Picture reliability: Phones often guess wrong, or guess something really stupid, resulting in an unusable photo other workaround than trying again and praying to the AI gods. 2: System reliability: High end smartphones are inherently quite fragile compared to cameras, due to thinness and having a full side covered in glass. The phone lens is prone to smudge, wear and mechanical damage over time due to being carried unprotected in pocket and used for all kinds of other stuff. The camera app and interference from other apps and excessive chains of software updates is less of a problem, but I'm sure we've all experienced the camera app randomly shutting down or refusing to open. 3: Accessories: Flashes, tripods, audio recorders, filters (UV, ND, gradient...), remote shutter releases... For most any randomly picked camera compared to any randomly picked flagship phone, more and higher quality accessories are available. 4: Glass: Optical zoom, and an interchangeable selection of lenses with various fields of view, gives enormous advantages. The lens is what really determines what image you get, the sensor and camera body are just there for support and to record the image. With a phone you are stuck with one lens, and it's not a particularly nice one. It's equivalent to about 28mm focal length on full frame, which is a quite boring focal length right in between the "normal" range and wide angle. It doesn't quite give the dramatic scale of a wide angle, nor does it give the natural look of something in the 35-60 range when shooting half or full body portraits. It's a very practical focal length, perfect for recording an A4 page and for getting everything you want in the scene without making them too small, but it's not really a very nice one for well... anything. Point and shoot cameras often have this focal length because it is so practical, but for an interchangeable lens system it's not common for a reason. Search TH-cam for "focal length perspective" and you will understand. 5: Manual control: The camera and lens has physical dials to directly and quickly control all the elements of the picture, letting me have exactly the compression/distortion, depth of field, motion blur and grain. This means it is *my* picture, looking exactly how I want it to. There are camera apps that allow some level of manual control, but it's quite limited and super inconvenient hidden under menus compared to turning an ergonomic dial that is always available. This is the biggest factor for me, as it changes photography from simply recording a view to creating a look. It's the difference between taking the bus or driving a motorcycle. The bus is cheaper and the driver knows the way, you just have to go on and get off at one of the preselected stations, which usually are close to something useful. A motorcycle takes a lot more time to maintain and store, and you have to drive it yourself, but you can drive it exactly the route you want and sometimes take a creative detour to something you've never seen before, just for the experience and exploration itself. 6: And lastly, yes the image quality is better. Not so visible on a tiny mobile screen, but for print or displaying on a large screen, the difference is massive. If the colors aren't as interesting straight out of camera, a quick edit can catch up on that and a thorough edit can create magic. Phones have made great strides to catch up, but there is still a long way up and each step is becoming more difficult as the easy steps have been made first, leaving the tougher and less impactful challenges, such as diffraction and fast moving subjects, still ahead.
To be fair, there are instances where parts of the face are blurred out using a dslr with a fast lens. The nose compared to the ears are definitely not in the same plane depending on the composition of the photo.
Yuri S Well, it depends on the apeture you're using. The faster the apeture, the smaller the plane of focus. If you take a picture at f/1.4, you're not going to get the full face in focus like you might at f/5.6.
that's why you take classes and keep learning. like what the person before me said, you play around with the aperture and f stop, and you'll get it down.
Yuri S Of course. With a large sensor and a fast lense you can get a razor thin dof. Take a wide open headshot with a Canon 85L with the focus on the pupal and the ears will be blown out. That makes the lens awesome and it certainly isn't nearly the same thing as some garbage algorithm that can't figure bout where to apply a gausiann blur... Want a wider dof, stop down. Furthermore, you don't get the pleasing compression with a phone. All the proportions are out of whack. Portraits should be taken with a 50-135 no matter what size sensor or the compression is all wrong.
You have the best tech channel on TH-cam to me. Makes the homies proud to see one of us with one of these channels. Keep doing your thing. You and Flossy Carter should do a joint show. I think that would be dope.
How could someone thumbs down this video it was soooooo informative...they are HATERS! GREAT VIDEO KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!! I appreciated this so much it went beyond my expectations 🙌🙌🙌
S8 camera also has issues with overexposing in my opinion. I know this is a software update, because turning the exposure down myself yields even better pics than the iPhone
As a photo hobbyist, I actually *preferred the Google Pixel over the Hassblad* in two of the pictures. Now let me explain how that can be and why I still bought a new lens for my mirrorless camera yesterday, for the same price as a new smartphone. The reason is that the smartphone companies are quite aggressive on automatic color editing of the pictures: The phone guesses what type of picture it is, considers the color space in the picture and makes adjustments towards what humans generally find more attractive: Vibrant and warm colors, with some exceptions.

Tech Talk With Devesh Bohra Google assistant, duel front facing speakers, waterproof and the best camera on the smartphone market. Only complaints I have is the large bezels on the smaller phone and of course NO HEADPHONE JACK!!!
Pixel 2 is garbage. That phone is already crapping out for a number things even after software update on a pure android phone. Wholly google made/designed.
wowwwwwww, the way you explained. that's why i really love to watch your channel every time , i never missed any videos,that is the reason you are number 1 tuber in tech reviews. if you have to choose apple phones vs android phone which one you prefer as a primary phone ?
Common, be honest. It wasn't the iPhone. Yes, they may have named it portrait mode for the first time but Huawei and HTC did it two years before Apple did it in the iPhone 7.
Tech Addict huawei with wide aperture mode and htc with ufocus. Htc u can only do it after taking a normal picture.. Huawei on the other hand can do it even before snapping and after also we can adjust..
7:27 what's up with all those "dots" all over the shot?? Marques???? How could that slipped through your exquisite eye? 😂 great video man! Love your channel and all your videos
Been using the pixel XL 2 and the iPhone x for the past month . I prefer the pixel 2 . And honestly I barely even use my iPhone . I only pull it out when I want to flex lol. But other than that I rarely use my iPhone x. The pixel 2 xl is just way better

Honestly, DSLRs and other more professional grade cameras are mainly best at shots that are pre-framed and have a little bit of staging or setup. As far as just point and shoot goes it's very difficult to beat what a smartphone can do.

Holy FUCKKKK those Hasselblad pics are straight up amazing
Jip it´s medium format
It costs freaking $13000 what did you expect?
Well , it's price is also amazing....
The camera itself is very frustrating I hear.
A car would be much more amazing I suppose.
Best difference is a Pixel 2 is $650 while the Hasselblad X1D is $13,000, so take your pick.
You could get similar results with an APS-C sized sensor, just need faster glass.
That's a shit ton of money for better edges, lol.
And the fact that any of these phones have so much more to offer for the price, while hasselblad is just for taking pics, which is great if thats your job or you are loaded af, but to me the portrait modes look amazing for what they are.
13k for a camera......
you could just buy a $90 f1.8 lens for a cheap camera
Well the Pixel 2 does all of this portrait shit without dual cameras.
I think the pixel is dual pixels if I'm not wrong. But Pixel 2 mostly uses AI and software to overcome the depth perception that can only be done with dual cameras
Still, it doesn't the hardware that other dual cameras do.That's because Google has some neat AI tricks up its sleeve.
Ya that's what I'm saying also. Google doesn't need dual cameras because its AI alone can make up for it.
Ikr and I agree but portrait mode or bokeh is not the only thing that we need, a secondary telephoto zoom lens also provides optical zoom.

Good Review!
One thing to consider,.. "Portrait mode" = the image in its vertical orientation and "Landscape mode" = the image in its horizontal orientation.
This was what i was thinking when i said all phones can do portrait lol
What you said is portrait orientation. The portrait mode comes from portrait photography.

sorry to burst your bubble but no phone camera will ever be better than the Hasselblad or any dslr camera. the pictures you see on billboards, magazines, posters, etc are always taken with an actual camera. why? sensors and lenses. bigger sensors mean better low lighting and field of view, different lenses for different use, and sky is the limit with editing due to the large size of the picture files. There's a reason why billboards, magazines, posters, etc. dont use phone cameras. theyre just not as good.
Adrian, how about you turn down the snobbery and argue rationally instead? It seems you are the one in a bubble you just got scared will burst.
I'm a photo hobbyist, but agree it did look better than the Hasselblad one one or two of the pictures. The reason is that the smartphone companies are quite aggressive on automatic editing of the pictures: The phone guesses what type of picture it is, considers the color space in the picture and makes adjustments towards what humans generally find more attractive: Vibrant and warm colors, with some exceptions.
This means that the JPEG straight out of camera the phone will sometimes look better, and it's easier and quicker to share the photo.
Reasons why I still bought a new lens for my mirrorless camera just yesterday?
1: Picture reliability: Phones often guess wrong, or guess something really stupid, resulting in an unusable photo other workaround than trying again and praying to the AI gods.
2: System reliability: High end smartphones are inherently quite fragile compared to cameras, due to thinness and having a full side covered in glass. The phone lens is prone to smudge, wear and mechanical damage over time due to being carried unprotected in pocket and used for all kinds of other stuff. The camera app and interference from other apps and excessive chains of software updates is less of a problem, but I'm sure we've all experienced the camera app randomly shutting down or refusing to open.
3: Accessories: Flashes, tripods, audio recorders, filters (UV, ND, gradient...), remote shutter releases... For most any randomly picked camera compared to any randomly picked flagship phone, more and higher quality accessories are available.
4: Glass: Optical zoom, and an interchangeable selection of lenses with various fields of view, gives enormous advantages. The lens is what really determines what image you get, the sensor and camera body are just there for support and to record the image. With a phone you are stuck with one lens, and it's not a particularly nice one. It's equivalent to about 28mm focal length on full frame, which is a quite boring focal length right in between the "normal" range and wide angle. It doesn't quite give the dramatic scale of a wide angle, nor does it give the natural look of something in the 35-60 range when shooting half or full body portraits. It's a very practical focal length, perfect for recording an A4 page and for getting everything you want in the scene without making them too small, but it's not really a very nice one for well... anything. Point and shoot cameras often have this focal length because it is so practical, but for an interchangeable lens system it's not common for a reason. Search TH-cam for "focal length perspective" and you will understand.
5: Manual control: The camera and lens has physical dials to directly and quickly control all the elements of the picture, letting me have exactly the compression/distortion, depth of field, motion blur and grain. This means it is *my* picture, looking exactly how I want it to. There are camera apps that allow some level of manual control, but it's quite limited and super inconvenient hidden under menus compared to turning an ergonomic dial that is always available. This is the biggest factor for me, as it changes photography from simply recording a view to creating a look. It's the difference between taking the bus or driving a motorcycle. The bus is cheaper and the driver knows the way, you just have to go on and get off at one of the preselected stations, which usually are close to something useful. A motorcycle takes a lot more time to maintain and store, and you have to drive it yourself, but you can drive it exactly the route you want and sometimes take a creative detour to something you've never seen before, just for the experience and exploration itself.
6: And lastly, yes the image quality is better. Not so visible on a tiny mobile screen, but for print or displaying on a large screen, the difference is massive. If the colors aren't as interesting straight out of camera, a quick edit can catch up on that and a thorough edit can create magic. Phones have made great strides to catch up, but there is still a long way up and each step is becoming more difficult as the easy steps have been made first, leaving the tougher and less impactful challenges, such as diffraction and fast moving subjects, still ahead.
@@jensdanbolt6953 aren't you kind of proving his point?
Note is pure crap Jeezus Christ... I'm impressed with both Pixel 2 and iPhone X even tho I'm a huge apple fan
The lines between high quality cameras and smartphone cameras really are getting blurred!
In certain contexts, they certainly are. In others, not so much ;)
get out
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
“The most blurred that line has ever been”
Heh. I see what you did.

To be fair, there are instances where parts of the face are blurred out using a dslr with a fast lens. The nose compared to the ears are definitely not in the same plane depending on the composition of the photo.
Yuri S Well, it depends on the apeture you're using. The faster the apeture, the smaller the plane of focus. If you take a picture at f/1.4, you're not going to get the full face in focus like you might at f/5.6.
that's why you take classes and keep learning. like what the person before me said, you play around with the aperture and f stop, and you'll get it down.
Yuri S Of course. With a large sensor and a fast lense you can get a razor thin dof. Take a wide open headshot with a Canon 85L with the focus on the pupal and the ears will be blown out. That makes the lens awesome and it certainly isn't nearly the same thing as some garbage algorithm that can't figure bout where to apply a gausiann blur... Want a wider dof, stop down. Furthermore, you don't get the pleasing compression with a phone. All the proportions are out of whack. Portraits should be taken with a 50-135 no matter what size sensor or the compression is all wrong.
I thought you meant Portrait like vertical... And thought you would bash Phil for showing that picture in landscape...
I would love to see a follow-up video for 2019.
Your beggining face expressions had me dead 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💀
pixel owns portrait mode!!
Easley
True.
Doesn't actually. Look at Supersaf vid. It blurs the edges badly.
I wanna get a Hasselblad but if I do my grandkids will still be paying for it by the time they’re my age 😣😣
Lmao
Incredible examples that can help anyone to better understand the technology. Thank you brother 🙏
That 🎄 in the background is dope

Great explanation!
Superb Christmas decoration!
You have the best tech channel on TH-cam to me. Makes the homies proud to see one of us with one of these channels. Keep doing your thing. You and Flossy Carter should do a joint show. I think that would be dope.
Eagerly waiting for *BITCOINS: Explained* from Marques...
Good news folks. Today December 31 2017 on XDA a Dev has successfully gotten portrait mode to work on the OG Pixel, Nexus 5x and 6p. Yes!!
How could someone thumbs down this video it was soooooo informative...they are HATERS! GREAT VIDEO KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!! I appreciated this so much it went beyond my expectations 🙌🙌🙌
Its good to see the "Explained" serie is back again! ... Please make more of this kind of videos🙏🙏
That patch of hair...
BM26 was looking for this
ik! I thought I was the only one noticing it lol
Yeah. Scrolled down for this.
LOL. I didn't want to be the one that says this.
?
You look white in Samsung’s camera 😂😂😂
Because Samsung's camera is shit.
🤣🤣🤣
samsung raCiST?!?! (joke)
barry b the just made milions off uphonne x sales and you call thier career shit
Credits for Huawei man. This bokeh effect camera feature or whatever you call it was already present in the Huawei P9.
Royell Petterson exactly
Add the Honor 8 to that list, released in July of 2016. I use it to this day and the effect still works great. Pretty incredible for $300 new :D
Awesome job explaining the entire depth of field stuff! Really appreciating the visuals/animations👌
7 seconds away from the 10 minute mark, damn.
What's with the exposure on the Note 8?
Lol it looks like he manually made it way brighter . But I'm sure he didn't. My galaxy s8 camera is nowhere near as bad as that.
terrible
Ikr. He could've at least turned it down a bit. Pretty much every phone can do that
Yeah thats atrociously bright.
S8 camera also has issues with overexposing in my opinion. I know this is a software update, because turning the exposure down myself yields even better pics than the iPhone
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Nobody can explain better than you...😘

As a photo hobbyist, I actually *preferred the Google Pixel over the Hassblad* in two of the pictures. Now let me explain how that can be and why I still bought a new lens for my mirrorless camera yesterday, for the same price as a new smartphone.
The reason is that the smartphone companies are quite aggressive on automatic color editing of the pictures: The phone guesses what type of picture it is, considers the color space in the picture and makes adjustments towards what humans generally find more attractive: Vibrant and warm colors, with some exceptions.
This means that the JPEG straight out of camera the phone will sometimes look better, and it's easier and quicker to share the photo.
Reasons why I still bought a new lens for my mirrorless camera just yesterday?
1: Picture reliability: Phones often guess wrong, or guess something really stupid, resulting in an unusable photo with no other workaround than trying again and praying to the AI gods.
2: System reliability: High end smartphones are inherently quite fragile compared to cameras, due to thinness and having a full side covered in glass. The phone lens is prone to smudge, wear and mechanical damage over time due to being carried unprotected in pocket and used for all kinds of other stuff. The camera app and interference from other apps and excessive chains of software updates is less of a problem, but I'm sure we've all experienced the camera app randomly shutting down or refusing to open.
3: Accessories: Flashes, tripods, audio recorders, filters (UV, ND, gradient...), remote shutter releases... For most any randomly picked camera compared to any randomly picked flagship phone, more and higher quality accessories are available.
4: Glass: Optical zoom, and an interchangeable selection of lenses with various fields of view, gives obvious advantages.
5: Manual control: The camera and lens has physical dials to directly and quickly control all the elements of the picture, letting me have exactly the compression/distortion, depth of field, motion blur and grain. This means it is my picture, looking exactly how I want it to. There are camera apps that allow some level of manual control, but it's quite limited and super inconvenient hidden under menus compared to turning an ergonomic dial that is always available. This is the biggest factor for me, as it changes photography from simply recording a view to creating a look. It's the difference between taking the bus or driving a motorcycle. The bus is cheaper and the driver knows the way, you just have to go on and get off at one of the preselected stations, which usually are close to something useful. A motorcycle takes a lot more time to maintain and store, and you have to drive it yourself, but you can drive it exactly the route you want and sometimes take a creative detour to something you've never seen before, just for the experience and exploration itself.
6: And lastly, yes the image quality is better. Not so visible on a tiny mobile screen, but for print or displaying on a large screen, the difference is massive. If the colors aren't as interesting straight out of camera, a quick edit (including preset filters) can catch up on that in the direction you want, and a thorough edit can create magic. Phones have made great strides to catch up, but there is still a long way up and each step is becoming more difficult as the easy steps have been made first, leaving the tougher and less impactful challenges, such as diffraction and fast moving subjects, still ahead.
Pixel 2 is the best
Extreme Apple fanboy Extreme Apple fanboy i agree!!!
Extreme Apple fanboy Extreme Apple fanboy everyone have their own opinion so i don't judge anyone
Tech Talk With Devesh Bohra Google assistant, duel front facing speakers, waterproof and the best camera on the smartphone market. Only complaints I have is the large bezels on the smaller phone and of course NO HEADPHONE JACK!!!
Pixel 2 is garbage. That phone is already crapping out for a number things even after software update on a pure android phone. Wholly google made/designed.
Extreme Apple Fanboy nah
*Hoodie Link?*
You missed a spot shaving on your right cheek and it's really distracting...
Coach_Jimbo leave my daddy alone jimbo
Glad I wasn't the only one that noticed
wowwwwwww, the way you explained. that's why i really love to watch your channel every time , i never missed any videos,that is the reason you are number 1 tuber in tech reviews.
if you have to choose apple phones vs android phone which one you prefer as a primary phone ?
Common, be honest. It wasn't the iPhone. Yes, they may have named it portrait mode for the first time but Huawei and HTC did it two years before Apple did it in the iPhone 7.
Tech Addict huawei with wide aperture mode and htc with ufocus. Htc u can only do it after taking a normal picture.. Huawei on the other hand can do it even before snapping and after also we can adjust..
7:26 That's a strange frame
Yeeeaaassss, Yeaaasss. I was wondering if I were the only one who saw that.
Yes
I'm not sure if it's noise, or something just cropped up after the final video got rendered... Or if something else happened?
Love your videos man 😍😎
7:27 what's up with all those "dots" all over the shot?? Marques???? How could that slipped through your exquisite eye? 😂 great video man! Love your channel and all your videos
took me far too long to realize you weren't talking about holding the phone vertically...
How many of you noticed the speaker on the tripod
Nandlal Aruna JBL is paying him thousands of dollar just to put that speaker in background.
* MILLIONS of dollar$
BILLIONS*
issa great christmas tree
Sup there, step sis
Still learning about Portraits in 2019 on my Note 10 + ♥️
I love the way u talk MK!!! nobody can explain better than you..thank you MKBHD
Liking the star on your “Christmas Tree”. :]
Jared Davidson lol i just noticed.
Very Informative video👏👏.....One day Smartphone will Reach to its Highest limits if Limits are there
Been using the pixel XL 2 and the iPhone x for the past month . I prefer the pixel 2 . And honestly I barely even use my iPhone . I only pull it out when I want to flex lol. But other than that I rarely use my iPhone x. The pixel 2 xl is just way better
Dear Marques, this video is SO WELL MADE... reminds me that you are who you are because of the way you do things :)
Perfect. Thanks for sharing.
google did a really good job with this portrait mode.
Your content on TH-cam is great .....continue.😁😁
Pixel 2 much more detail and better colors than iphone
Eduardo Rodriguez better detail for iPhone i think
Colin :D yes
Yet that shitty ass Google Pixel 2 or Pixel 2 XL can’t even record 4K video @ 60FPS. GTFOH. Pixel 2 is shit.
Yea that looks right from ur low quality pfp
Not true
This was an excellent video. Great job! I find you always cut through the hype and give us actually useful videos
