Smartphone Cameras Explained - Technically

108 Megapixels on a Smartphone Camera? 8K video capture? Ultrawide like fisheye? Ultra Zoom until we go to the moon?!
With dozens of flagship smartphones hitting the market every year, each claiming that their camera is the best, how do you choose? Also, what’s a megapixel or OIS? And why do some phones have so many cameras?
Today, I’m going to explain to you everything you need to know about Smartphone Cameras, technically...

Your video was exactly what I was searching for. Also, even though it was very technical, you made it fun and informational. Thank you!

[@MOBHouse]

Glad you found this video helpful, bro

[@mgs.915]

Here’s the thing with you home cameras…they are always with you and they do take some wonderful pictures for being so convenient. With that said, I have to explain to people who I also have a camera when “my phone takes better pictures” sometimes it’s just about the experience and something a phone never has done is get me into the creative thought process like a camera does! Wonderful video and I wish people would understand more about the megapixel claims when it’s not everything!

[@peterimade6025]

This video needs to have a million views.. So much work put into it. I hope u stay motivated to keep pushing more high quality content

[@MOBHouse]

Thank you so much for your support, bro.

[@edwardthecar2300]

i didn't realise it didn't lol the quality is exlelent i also belive this should be in th emilions of views

[@tommyharris5817]

Thank you! I learned so much from one video rather than from watching ten.

[@daddygromlegs1044]

Absolutely incredible video. I love how you explain things and how the video is paced. Definitely subscribed

[@MOBHouse]

Thanks mate!!!

[@Lelouch1218review]

Finally, someone said it! Megapixels doesn't mean quality!!!! Always being mocked whenever I say that!

[@MOBHouse]

share this video to your friends so they can learn a thing or two! Our videos are shot on a 12MP sensor and I dare to wager our quality is probably better than what they can do. XD

[@Lelouch1218review]

@@MOBHouse shared on fb d 🤣

[@zloth54]

ikr! i usually shut them up by asking them which phone camera is the best, then they usually ans Apple and then i hit them with the 12MP fact.

[@bluecollarbuddha948]

Your on-screen energy is amazing! I subbed instantly with no idea what the rest of your content is like. lol

[@MOBHouse]

Welcome abroad mate!

[@CohenTomer]

man I'm so happy I found your channel while researching for a video I'm making on OnePlus and the OnePlus 11! I love your style, appreciate the paranormal/xfiles type of intro, your delivery and editing is wonderful. I cannot express enough how happy I am to have found your channel which will also serve as great inspiration for things I can do to improve my youtube videos!

[@MOBHouse]

Thanks for the love and support, bro. Your comment means a lot to me.

[@josiejodoran7130]

Perfect! Exactly what I was wondering!! Thank you & love your delivery :-) keep up the good work!

[@MOBHouse]

thanks man

[@broskibrobro1278]

Good video, a lot of people buying phones see a higher mp count and simply think it’s better. Specifically budget phones , oftentimes their cameras kinda suck, but they give them high mp counts in order to trick customers. A LOT of people don’t even realise that many expensive Sony cameras use lenses that are like 12-24mp

[@MOBHouse]

yea man.... MP is not everything!

[@pianotips2623]

Amazing video!

[@hailemc8842]

👍Great video man! Thorough and easy to understand.

[@MOBHouse]

Thanks mate!

[@MOBHouse]

Editor made a boo boo at 13:21 I know how to spell Aperture. So leave me alone keyboard warriors~ 🙃

[@cielazul713]

Last dedicated camera I used was a 10 MP point and shoot. Even then, the photo and video quality of it surpassed any high end phone camera. Save perhaps for the Nokia Pureviews.

[@godofredo0409]

I don't think that point and shoot digicam can beat Google Pixel phones.

[@shekhark1139]

This vid has tons of info. Thanks dude, you explained so well. I'm glad to find this useful vid. You did a great job 🙂

[@MOBHouse]

Glad it was helpful! Do consider dropping us a sub, would really appreciate it.

[@MOBHouse]

thanks mate! Appreciate it!

[@Zahidulhasan]

Good explanation. I was looking for what is 1/1.56", 0.75µm. I found it here. Thanks a lot.

[@weiqilam3383]

this video is details enough to change title to : General Cameras Explained - Technically

[@MOBHouse]

some of the stuff does apply to general cameras la...

[@cikgualiff717]

good video. more should have watch this

[@MOBHouse]

Thanks matey. Please share it out. Would really appreciate it

[@joexjf7029]

Now I understand whats those f and um means, thanks bro!!!

[@MOBHouse]

No worries man

[@chandanprakash2002]

Good video. But i dont think you needed a fullframe camera A7s3 to shoot it 😀.

[@jyothyelizabethmartin4927]

bro can you make a video on the different times of cameras on a phone? like telephoto, macro, ultrawide etc it would be a great help

[@itsReallyLou]

You are awesome!

[@nishantchoudhary5497]

Thank you soo much, you explained so much in such a great depth. Keep doing it. Love from India🇮🇳

[@MOBHouse]

dhanyavaad! Appreciate the support

[@tonystark3391]

Please make a review soon about the upcoming Pixel 6a. This is the first time I saw ur vid and decided to subscribe. Thank you

[@MOBHouse]

i'll see if i can get my hands one

[@AnnaCurser]

very interesting. and funny.

[@hengkokchua8654]

I am now using the Xiaomi 10 and the camera raw capture amazed me very much for the capability phone cameras nowadays.

[@MOBHouse]

quite surprisingly good Xiaomi stuff!

[@edwardthecar2300]

s21 ultra and loving it :)

[@cryp0g00n4]

that intro was genius ... wish much success for u

[@mostaffasalam]

Unfortunately he is underatted :( So much effort❤😊

[@dasilvah.5815]

Yes, explain sensors more in detail please.

[@MJ-uk6lu]

And ISPs

[@nathanbullaft3445]

Why i didnt find u sooner? 😂🔥

[@madgepickles]

This is great! Now do one for dummies 🙏

[@MOBHouse]

I thought that was pretty dummy proof? We even put pictures and all... XD

[@anajiri]

THX for an amazing educational video! I have a question: can anyone suggest maybe a "class of smartphones" that aimed mainly to photography, and not for videogames at all (but for video and some browser)? My target is to minimize non-practical things in order to get the nicest camera I can afford to myself but probably by means of a worse processor or less memory...

[@MOBHouse]

This mi11 Ultra was my go to for the longest time bro

[@cruzdesangre2850]

Vivo X70 Pro Plus, Vivo X80 Pro and Pixel 6 Pro I'd say are the best options for photography

[@ismaelferreira1055]

Mi12s Ultra has the largest camera sensor at the moment.

[@godwinudoh1087]

pls which mid range phone is perfect for media creation like youtube & tik tok

[@playnlist1882]

From2024 this is very helpful, thanks!

[@MOBHouse]

Glad it was helpful!

[@boombox4321]

Song playing at 9:35?

[@knykcom]

At the end of the day, normal good picture, any phone does the job well. At least mid and above. If you really ask for the quality, go camera. Handphone camera never beats camera. NEVER!

[@MOBHouse]

i'm quite surprised how much things have improved over the years

[@knykcom]

@@MOBHouse agree, improved alot. Now is just to see whose image logic processing is the best, rather than hardware competition.

[@penkatadrums]

bro I laughed when you said "equilevent" instead of "equivalent" :D Other than that, amazing video!!! Exactly what I was looking for. I was wondering how can my phone have a 26mm lens when being only 8mm think lol :D they never said it was the full frame "equilevent" lol :D Thanks bro, great job! It also says F1.8 though, which is NOT the full frame equivalent... So they only write the equivalent when it's BENEFICIAL to them... TYPICAL SCAM MARKETING. Wouldn't be so impressive if they wrote the f-stop is something like F15, right... :D I am yet to calculate how much is it exactly.

[@mujdo1]

can you teach us how to use our phone camera more effectivly. Can we choose between the three four cameras we have. and how to choose one to take different pictures. thank you

[@MOBHouse]

Yea! I could potentially do a video on this yes

[@ronih6704]

im just curious about f settings on phone 😅

[@dayshafreeman]

More in depth, pretty please!

[@MOBHouse]

Any more and I might put 90% of u guys to sleep XD

[@jackytech2981]

Shane Tan , u make my day , learn a ton of knowledge in this weejio ,btw Shane which brand has the best smartphone camera , is it the "fruit brand" ?TQ Mobhouse for this video content #LoveYou3000

[@MOBHouse]

Fruit brand is one of the best, especially when it comes to video. But ultimately when it comes down to Fruit vs robot, it very much depends on which ecosystem u wanna go to.

[@jackytech2981]

"Robot" means what ? Android phones ?

[@kyle-vj4lx]

equilavent?

[@lorspav]

Hey can you make a video about the depth sensor on these phones

[@MOBHouse]

hm... that would actually be interesting.

[@lorspav]

@@MOBHouse I know right, I don't see creators on youtube talking about that camera lens

[@ubecheesepandesal]

A 24 or 16mp sensor from a Sony camera is better than the 108mp from the phones, I've been telling those to my friends and they won't believe me, now I have proof lmao

[@hpvide]

I'm satisfied with 5mp Telemacro camera of Xiaomi 11

[@MOBHouse]

good stuff

[@aungkyawmoe8023]

you actually said "equilavent" 13:57

[@MOBHouse]

Haha did I?

[@LOKgr]

Nokia N8 approves this Video.

I subscribed cause we have similar names

What's your name mate?

@@MOBHouse Oh! I rewarched and it looks like we have THE SAME name! Hello fellow Shane.

[@gpod70]

I had my mouse on the playback speed ( to accelerate this video ) but I didn't use it because the information was important and delivered with humor and intelligence" Who said learning has to be boring

haha yes, my wife said the same thing XD

[@lifesfluff]

Can you explain life … I like how you explain things

[@DannyGan]

even as a filmmaker your explanation still barely gets through haha not sure if the beginners will understand. Maybe too many topics and too short time.

[@MOBHouse]

Got time stamp ma bro can slowly watch

[@YoelFredrik]

Big number, doesn"t mean good. Small number, doesn't mean bad.

shoulda partied less and actually listened in class.
