Honestly, I'd rather have a crappier front facing camera under the display than a hole on the screen. Specially as I can't even remember the last time I used the FFC anyway.

[@ivybator6167]

That’s why I use Sony Xperia

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

Same 🤣🤣

[@fazidkb6029]

Same😂😂😂

[@earlfenwick]

Nice to see a manufacturer taking a different approach for once. 35mm is a good idea. Good looking unit too.

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

right!! I like what they are doing with that! Hope they keep up with that :)

[@JolasArt]

Also I started to take photos holding my phone upside down after watching your videos and it's so much easier , thanks ❤😊

RIGHT!!!!!! I am telling you :D And glad I could help hahaha

[@heliopijpe]

This main camera sensor combo has genuinely impressed me, it has an almost CCD like / Leica like quality , it has been since the Nokia Lumia 1020/1050 since a camera phone has impressed me in image output .. (pleasing image)

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

I agree, sure i need to cool down the brightness but ones done the shots are really good! And such an hidden gem!

[@Rizwaan122]

To be honest, for me all a 35mm lens would do is make me use the ultra wide camera more. On my current 24mm phone I use the 16v9 aspect ratio for shots which results in a cropped in shot, which I find annoying. 35mm would be the same situation, I'd find ,yself just wanting to use UW all the time

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

@@Rizwaan122 that is fair, to each their own.

[@bleunerz9513]

I bought this phone last week, since i'm not fond to selfie thing, don't care about front 12mp camera much, the 50mp back camera still beast and doing gaming pretty smooth to.

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

Oeeeh congrats!!!!!

[@Sony-Fanboy]

Heb nog nooit van dit merk gehoord of een telefoon van hun gezien. Maar het design van deze telefoon is wel meteen een eye catcher!

I didn't realise this phone had 4K/120fps support on all lenses. Impressive.

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

it really is!!!

[@jiahaotan696]

Your thumbnail made me think it was a scene from some cyberpunk movie. Nighttime shots are great. If 35mm is so great, why do smartphone makers use 23mm equivalent for their main camera? (Looking at my new xiaomi 14 with some disappointment)

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

hahaha yeah it does kinda has that feeling ^^ and why I think for video recording, easier to have it feel smoother, and also puts more in the shot, and a lot of people don't look at phones as photography in that sense. (that is me assuming of course!)

[@badboybarrio21]

Looks like i am getting this phone. I love boxy phones. Unless i can get a better price on Samsung S23 Ultra. I just want a boxy phone with good screen and shoots good photos.

Can you review the new Leading version of the Z60 Ultra? The CPU is overclocked and the front camera has some improvements.

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

funny that you would mention it! I revieved a message this morning, and yes! It will be coming my way, which I am very happy about, as well as the Nubia Z60S Pro! :D

[@cguralol]

I never liked the 23-24-25mm lens phones have these days. Thats why i always use the 2x on my S10+ to shoot every day photos. 52mm are really nice and with the adition of a gcam for every day and Pro mode for dedicated photography i can say that without a 52mm im naked Btw, i think that you would make wonders with the new Xperia 1 VI. I'm tempted on getting it for myself because as i said early, i think its time to give my good ol s10+ a break

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

Agreed!! And for the Sony, i have asked Sony, so hope to hear back from them! Also Vivo X100 Ultra will be coming^^

[@joseraulvanegasserna4219]

Este es un excelente video que deseaba ver hace mucho este móvil tiene un diseño muy raro pero a la ves es llamativo y creo que dentra a competir con el Samsung o el Xiaomi de turno gracias sigue creciendo saludos desde Gijón

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

¡¡¡Me alegro de poder ayudarte con el vídeo y luego ayudarte con algunas respuestas!!! ¡Y estoy de acuerdo! Sí, hay algunas cosas que hacen que dependa de la persona y que funcione para él o ella (como la cámara para selfies), pero para personas como yo, que toman principalmente fotografías fijas, ¡hay mucho potencial! Pero sólo necesito enfriar ese brillo ^^

[@jerichojoebasilio5601]

Sir? Just a quick question please. Did you use filter from the images that were taken? Or are they straight out from the camera?

I never used the iPhone 15 pro, so it's really hard for me to judge:( sorry

[@mrcmendonca00]

hello. Which of these two would you choose: the Xiaomi 13t for the other, the Núbia Z60? Ultra?

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

Oooeeehh I like the 13T but I would say the Nubia!

[@TheAaronJP]

I had the 13t before this phone. Thr battery life was very poor.

[@mrcmendonca00]

thanks. I also think the Núbia is a better buy. But so far I've been using Xiaomi, first a Max3 and currently an 11t and I'm a little afraid of switching to a brand I don't know. I feel very pleased with the idea of ​​buying the nubia precisely because of the battery, size and design... But in the meantime, I started considering the OnePlus 12 and I'm undecided again...

[@TheAaronJP]

@@mrcmendonca00 if you like a selfie and can justify the higher price, go for the ones 12. However, the nubia is unbeatable for the price. You'll be pleased with both phones as tbey are flagships

[@kdtrey667]

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

Yes you can (on the vivo), but not in low light mode

Sadly no opinion because I haven't used it

[@guillermolegaspi9372]

@@ThroughJermainesLens Ahh. It's okay, I was only thinking of getting either the Z50s Pro or the Xiaomi 14, and was wondering if there would be a huge difference between the two phones camera wise, the Xiaomi 14 is solid but the 35mm of the Z50s Pro is heavily tempting too. Thank you for the response, sir. I just recently discovered your channel, and you might just be my go-to person for mobile photography now. Hahaha May you be blessed with more good fortune!

[@kyanktv3217]

super video sir, I've a question for you, i hesitate between Samsung s 24 ultra, Honor magic 6 pro, Xiaomi 14 ultra, and huawei pura 70 ultra, and i wanna use it for photography and astrophotography , moon ... ect , which phone do you recommend ? or should i wait for the new sonny xperia mark VI ? what do you think ?

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

Oh do NOT go for Samsung when it comes to photography! If you want proper photography go for something Like Xiaomi, a bit brighter approach Vivo, and honestly this Nubia is also solid, but you need to turn down the brightness.

why are you sorry about that?

[@YoungWise2011]

Gewat reciew. If you could keep the ultra 14 or z60 ultra which would you take. For the battery life and display along with freat cameras wins it for me at least over my s24u. I gave to charge it at least once a day. At noon then 5

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

oh both for me beat the Samsung for sure! Samsung however does have a really nice display! And while I heard that some people struggle with the battery life on the Z60 Ultra, for me it has been really solid! Xiaomi's is not great

[@roLLyXo]

Tbh these days most of the phones are taking amazing photos especially if they were edited in light room after , have you seen the sony xperia 1 Vl?

It depends a bit but most are very capable yes^^ and the Sony I have. Asked Sony if there is a possibility, but it will probably take a while, here in the Netherlands they get it pretty late.

For me it's the battery not only the camera, and it's very good in gaming like a redmagic with good cameras and proper water resistence, also get a glass screen protector for it, i got an imak one don't even notice its there since it has the same outlines as the phone, got a perfect fit on the first try, also mine scores the same as a rog phone 8 pro did not expect that was expecting under 2 mil, so for gamers it's great does not seem to get very hot in most situations but you can use bypass charging if you do long gaming sessions, also im watching a lot of movies in bed with this phone i did not use to do that,

[@darkduck3457]

The only and only turnoff is the inability to switch lenses while recording.
