Their talk is pure marketing, there's nothing major that sells an iPhone they go on the "privacy" bandwagon and the fans believe it.

shot by xs: the dude has a carrot tan and pink lipstick? on single shots the guy looks yellow. (watched on ipad pro)
i wonder why new iphones always make people looks like suffering liver problems - yellow or orange skin.
Maybe that’s what the fake tan brigade want?
I Walked past multiple shops today with the s10+ on display but I refust to take a look untill i open my box on the 8th
The Saf video was really good.
A great comparisson.
I'd never understood the draw with wide angle camera before, but seeing some of his shots there I can totally understamd the want for one in a smart phone.
I went to Bath at the end of last year and took loads of snaps - a wide angle lens would have come in handy looking back on it now!
Overall the S10 looks to take the slightly better photos. I loved the camera on my Max, so anything that's on par with that or better and you know you're getting a nice shooter.

What?!!! Saf's an awesome reviewer. His hairstyle and overall look is not to my personal taste, because I'm older and used to a different look on men (Oh God help me I just realized in my dating days men wore mullets and pastels
), but he pulls it off well. Anyway he's one of the rare few that lets you know what the audio recordings are going to sound like. He's got a lot of people imitating everything he does.I'm afraid I know very little about the Active Watch other than it looks good, is smaller than the usual Android salad plate, and can tell time and give at least give me some basic notifications and fitness info from my phone. That's all I needed to know to sign myself and my husband up for pre orders. He gets black and I get silver. If he doesn't like his, I will get his, too. My wearable options for the Android side have been acceptable so far but not exciting until now. I genuinely love the looks of these new watches. I wanted one in every color.
However I still am likely to prefer my Apple watches when all is said and done. We shall soon see next month.
Well I just did the incredibly painful and nerve-wracking thing of cancelling my pre order.
I felt really bad that my March 15th delivery date was going to hold up my husband's March 8 phone for possibly a month while they take an extra six days to deliver my Flamingo Pink and then take goodness knows how long to process my trade in.
So I have kept checking the site to see if Flamingo would come back in stock. Last night I saw that it was once again possible to preorder the Flamingo S10+ . My husband actually ordered it for me and was also this time able to get me the teal flip cover case I wanted under the $50 device credit. My original order was limited to the black one for some reason.
We waited over night for the invoice email to come through and it did so I nuked the order I had placed. And now am waiting for confirmation of my cancellation. Then the hold should come off of my husband's preorder.
It's important he gets his first because I'm starting to have my concerns they've changed the display enough that it could set off my migraines. They might have somewhat copied what Apple does to OLED. But it's hard to be sure.

He's actually one of the least biased reviewers out there.
He's been doing camera comparisons for ages and they still stand today.
"I don’t like his acting as a person" You don't have to. You should judge his reviews not his acting as a person.
Like I said it's all about the way he makes his reviews. The presentation. If it doesn't suits you you're not going to watch it. It's actually the same for Linus tech (he is much worse though).
I think the only thing tech reviewer that grinds my gears is...
"I'm Haym reivfeopwkgoerwmgoernmera* with PocketNow"

That aside, I'm fine haha.

Regarding Saf's S10+ vs iPhone XS Max comparison, I thought he did a good job giving all the details I would want to know except I don't think he said if the time limits on 4K video recording are gone yet. I forget what the limits are myself because when I'm shooting what I know is going to be a long video I take it down to 1080p anyway. I tend to save the super high settings for short clips.
I had to disagree with him about the sound quality being equal from both. I'm absolutely delighted that Apple finally gave stereo audio recording capability to iPhones. But it's still not giving a crisp clear sound. It can be a bit muffled. Samsung stereo audio is more immersive both in his video and in my own personal testing. I even at times prefer the stereo audio from my Pixel 3XL over that of the iPhone. Neither can beat the Samsung, in most conditions I have tried so far. But all are acceptable so far.
I also thought the Samsung colors beat the iphone's in just about every sample Saf provided. I did think the iPhone often beat the Samsung when it came to HDR performance. I've been very impressed with what Apple has done to rival and even best the Pixel on software HDR processing to give beautifully exposed scenes. Well done, Apple, it's about damn time!
However, there are actually certain "atmospheric" shots I've tried to take in which this raising up of shadow details somewhat ruins the artistic effect I was going for or the accuracy of recording light and shadow as my own eyes saw them. I can understand why it will be a few phone generations before computational photography can come close to what a pro photographer can do with dedicated equipment.

Just check DisplayMate’s review of the S9 and Note 9 at max brightness under the standard sRGB gamut. Not good! Around 400 nits is all whereas the Max can hit 660 at any time, which I prefer.
I read your post, and interpreted it in the exact manner it reads. Thankfully you have the freedom of just not watching his videos, yeah? And it’s ironic that the hairstyle was the first thing you mentioned, but now it’s not an issue?
We are speaking about the S10 lineup. It's 850 nits manual. That's great!!!
And speaking of the S9 (since you mentioned it) .......

So what's the problem again?
The s10 hits 850nits at any time, its a very bright display, a big step up from the note 9.

Can you give me a link where that was stated? I highly doubt you can get 850 nits with a white textual background.
This is utter domination. That’s what I’m saying. The iPhone only uses Cinema and Basic.

Had a quick look in CPW at them today. Can’t really get a good idea for them though in a shop, need to have a proper play at home without the fixing on the back. Can stil tell they’re a premium decide though.
Annoyed I didn’t properly look at which colour I’d want. Although it’s pretty irrelevant because I’d have a non clear case anyway.
Think I’ll give it a day or 2 to see if Quidco cashback increases again before ordering one.

Hmm... nits...a word the parents of school children shudder to hear.
My husband is so happy. The hold on his pre-order came off as soon as my cancellation came through.
My second pre-order seems well and intact, keeping fingers crossed it stays that way. Since mine is due to ship out on the 15th anyway, I should not be unduly inconvenienced by coming in second in the trade in processing queue.

100% I have seen a few camera comparisons against the iPhone X and XR and the wide angle lens is game changing. Users will see a huge difference when shooting both indoors and outdoors.
Most amazingly, the S10e has this lens but not 2X telephoto and wide selfie lens - both which I can live without.
The video stabilisation is superbly impressive too.
Honestly I really am quite sad that the Uk doesn’t get flamingo.
I’ve just had a video on my YouTube feed of the S10 and clicked on it and the flamingo one kept appearing throughout and it looks So. Damn. Good.
Easily the best colour I think. You lucky American’s!!

It seems Flamingo pink only comes in 128gb in the USA. Otherwise, I would have pre-ordered that color.
