Market research failure. not listening to (suggestion/request/feedback) what customers want. year after year incremental updates :rolleyes:

While I understand it's his usual workflow but I really wish he would upload the footage as it is.
Rather than taking the 30 or 60 fps mixing into the 24fps video, it makes for a choppy viewing experience.

And while on this subject matter, it's high time Google allows users the freedom to choose our frame rate. I can never use Pixel to shoot at night in Singapore because the 30fps will cause the lights to flicker in the captured video as SG power run on 50hz

I think android must use flagship chipset or the lag will show up v fast, it's that occasional stutter wait and lag that makes or breaks a phone imo

The sad part for P6a is 6gb rams bc I feel android is v ram hungry

My p6 can alr see some apps stuttering even with like there are too many apps (abt 10 or so) in the background. Or that the apps like shopee, lazada, clash royale are not well optimized... idk really :s22: it's not super serious but enough to notice the slow response

So far so good with the phone but one annoying thing is it will always create bokeh effects. Is there a way to turn it off when I'm taking document image bc I want all the words to be crisp sharp even at the corners


P.s forgot to say that my friend has preordered P6a hence I came in here to ssrr

Move back and zoom in or use 2x

In simple terms, LARGE SENSOR + NEAR SUBJECT = SHALLLOW DEPTH OF FIELD ( aka " BOKEH " )
It's not a software function that can be turn on/off, it's physics.

You can read about depth of field in detail if you want: https://digital-photography-school.com/understanding-depth-field-beginners/

Like @limmk mentioned, using the 2 x zoom is an easy workaround.
If your phone doesn't have a macro function, same method can also be used in a pinch.

"Bokeh" is really overused by phone users nowdays. I cringe whenever I see users post people+landscape photos with portrait mode :oops:
