Sony Xperia Z5 – camera shots – so is the camera any good?

Sony upgraded the sensor on the Xperia flagship range. Below are 3 photos. Each taken in a different mode.

And now using the full sensor at 23mp.

It seems a shame that Sony missed OIS off the specifications.

So what’s your verdict?

More soon on the Xperia Z5 range.

Xiaomi Mi Note Pro – Camera Shots

The Xiaomi Mi Note Pro is similar to the Mi 4i that I currently own. The camera app follows a similar path except it has HDR Auto mode and a few other tricks. Below are some camera shots from the Mi Note Pro.

I noticed that panoramic shots are rather small in file size. Overall, the photos look fairly reasonable. However, the camera performance in my opinion not in the same league as the LG G4.But what do you think?

I will cover off more aspects of the Mi Note Pro when I post my full review as it does have some true flagship winning aspects.

Xiaomi Mi 4i – First Impressions / Benchmark / Camera Shot

image

Apart from the Huawei P8, I also have a Xiaomi Mi 4i. Above and below are my current home screens.

image

I haven’t spent time theming or changing the wallpaper yet, as I just wanted to install my apps.

What do you notice? Google apps and services are already installed. I even got an over the air update. In fact I’m typing this on the Mi 4i as I also listen to Pocketcasts.

image

My full review will follow in a few weeks but initial observations are positive. Very good camera and headphone audio.

Below is a photo I took with the Mi 4i.

If you have any questions, please let me know so I can add them in my review.

Huawei P8 – Camera Shots

These are the first shots I have snapped using the Huawei P8. The camera has lots of options and over time I will explore these in more depth. In the meantime, enjoy the handful of shots taken around Wistman’s Wood Nature Reserve on Dartmoor. All photos are unedited, and taken at 10mp which gives the widescreen view. If you wanted to use the full 13mp, this provides an aspect ratio of 4:3. In terms of sunlight visibility the P8 adjusted the screen contrast and brightness to make the screen readable in bright sun!

LG G4 – The Review updated plus All 15 Posts – Updated

Since my review of the LG G4, I have included several other posts. All the links are noted below. I have also included a link to the special LG G4 Flickr album set. Once thing I have noticed with the G4 is its overnight battery strength which has been consistent. Generally on a 6 hours period overnight the battery drops from 100% to 98%, just a mere 2%. Its screen on time for a charge is 4 to 4.5 hours.

Anyway here are all the links to all the posts. The action shots are a must view post. Using burst mode I was able to snap some amazing motion shots. Also worth noting is the burst mode shots were 7.9mb in file size over 3 times the size of a burst shot from the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge.
