Below are 4 photos I took with my Samsung Note 4 that I’ve chosen as my favourite.
If you go to my flickr account you will see similar shots taken with the HTC Desire Eye so you might be curious to see the difference in quality.
Apart from my Samsung Note 4, I received late last week the HTC Desire Eye. The next day the Honor 6 arrived. So in order to be fair to each phone, I am dedicating next week for the HTC Desire Eye with part 1 of the review going live on Monday. There will be a new part up to and including Thursday. The following week will then focus on the Honor 6.
In addition to the review there will be other posts.
There will be however posts on the Honor 6 this week revealing little snippits. So here’s one snippit I discovered last night. Phone screen off. Now double tap the volume down button and a photo is taken in less than a second. The time is shown as to how fast the shot took to take. So that means the phone turned on, camera app opened, focused and took the shot in less than a second. My time variance has been 0.7 second and only once did it take 1.1 seconds. Really fast camera mode !
I received the Honor 6 last night. I’ve taken a few photos. So what do you think? They look good to me.
Far better shots than I imagined.
