Testing Out My Replacement Phone - Teignmouth - 17/05/24

[@davidbassett4577]

Excellent test video for your new phone … looks & sounds very good Bill. The bus you caught on your phone at 18:26 is the special liveried ADL Enviro 400 double decker that Stagecoach South West painted to celebrate the centenary of Devon General back in 2019. I took a photo of it down at the terminus in Dawlish Warren back in May 2022.. good to see it still retains that livery!

Thanks so much Barry 👍

Hi Bill, yes an improved phone compared to the old one. The zoom is certainly much smoother. Good sound as well. Looking like a winner 😅

[@BillsPhoneTeignmouth]

Thanks Stuart - Yes, I'm very happy with it 👍

Hi Bill, there's a definite improvement with the picture quality especially it seems with the 20 times zoom looking sharper. But the biggest thing is how much clearer the sound seems to be. Very good of Google to replace the old phone without any hassle. Another good test will be when you film through a fence like the one near the Lido, it may be better focusing on what you're filming and not the fence. See you tomorrow mate.

[@BillsPhoneTeignmouth]

Funny really - I felt the zoom WASN'T as sharp as the old one (only by a fraction) and as for the sound, I haven't really noticed much of a difference (aside from the windblocker being slightly better) Plenty of filming through fences coming up - Yes, great service - I actually sent my old one back to them today. Meaning I'm 100% happy with the replacement 👍👍👍 See you tomorrow 👍

Cheers 👍

[@swompwalker]

It appears better all around!

[@BillsPhoneTeignmouth]

Yes, I think the old one had a fault from day 1, but with nothing to compare it to, I didn't know about it 👍👍👍

Looks very good bill all sharp and clear to me nice walk round for trying it out cheers mate 👍🙂

[@BillsPhoneTeignmouth]

[@JamWillDo]

Looks good on the telly, seems steadier, cheers

[@BillsPhoneTeignmouth]

Thanks mate - I'm pleased with it 👍

[@allenbrown8158]

Nice phone Bill, im so glad it came with the weeeee feature, or I would have to subscribe. LOL

[@BillsPhoneTeignmouth]

🤣🤣🤣 👍👍👍

[@mrbigbadtrev]

Not boring at all Bill, very interesting in fact - much prefer the slower zoom. I would guess those sheet piles are to support the road way because if they demolished the building it would undermine the carriageway?😺

[@BillsPhoneTeignmouth]

Thats a valid idea ! Makes perfect sense 👍👍👍

[@Pooky-Cat]

Looks good 👌 Bill. Tbh I never noticed an issue with the other phone which is testament to your editing skills, nice. Ttfn.

[@BillsPhoneTeignmouth]

Much appreciated - It was taking me longer to edit than it was to film it!

[@SionsTrainVideos]

it looks much better for you are you still enjoying it? nice walk

[@BillsPhoneTeignmouth]

Yes. I think a lot of stuff didn't work like it should have on my old phone, but I never knew about it. 2X zoom looked awful! So I never used it... Online, people would say I couldn't expect it to be as sharp as 1X or 5X as it was digital - So I just didn't use it - Now I see what they mean - It isn't 'QUITE' as sharp - But still usable -The other was awful 👍👍👍

[@SionsTrainVideos]

@BillsPhoneTeignmouth ah right so now you love it

[@davidlean2879]

The sound is more distinct with the new cam

[@BillsPhoneTeignmouth]

Excellent! I cant say I noticed a difference, but the hour or so I had to spend rotating all the shots by 2/3 degrees is in the past 👍👍👍

[@barryhargreaves3311]

Year ago bill new phone out on test . Is time of year garden will be open for day bill Devon red bus look nice

[@BillsPhoneTeignmouth]

Jasons Garden? No set date I'm afraid - Just when they choose to do it... However, the past 2 times they have opened, was in September 👍

[@mrbigbadtrev]

This from the Mid Devon Advertised - 4 weeks for demolition would indicate the whole thing possibly? 'Visitors to Teignmouth won’t have to cross their legs for much longer if they want to spend a penny in the resort. Work to build the long-awaited new public toilets is finally set to start next month. Bulldozers will start demolishing the former aquarium on the Upper Den Carriageway in mid-May ready for the new public conveniences to be built. The demolition phase will take five weeks. However, construction of the new toilets won’t start until after the summer. The Town Council also plans to build new toilets on the East Cliff car park this year as well as refurbishing the toilets on Lower Brook Street. It aims to provide toilet facilities in all the main car parks and at each end of the seafront within the next two years.' 😺

[@BillsPhoneTeignmouth]

Well fingers crossed, but as for the Eastcliff ones, they been sating that for years - First Ive heard about a refurb of Brook St though - Its really not that bad in there to be fair - Clean and functional... 👍
