For many users, the event held last Tuesday, in which Apple presented the new iPhone X along with the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, did not generate too many surprises, mainly due to the large number of leaks that had been made a few days before After the leak of the Golden Master version of iOS 11, but that does not mean that if we look a little at the characteristics we can find some that are only found in these terminals. We are talking about the possibility of recording videos in 4k resolution at 60 fps, a feature that is only available in the new terminals that the Cupertino-based company presented on September 12.
In fact, currently on the market we can find very few devices that allow video recordings in that quality and at those fps. Many DSLR cameras do not have enough processors to make video recordings in 4k at 60 fps, and if they do it it is for a very short space of time, since the temperature of the camera rises considerably. The same happens with smartphones. Without going any further, the latest Samsung model, the Galaxy Note 8, can only record video in 4k at 30 fps, just like the iPhone 6s and 7.
The new A11 Bionic processor is the one who is largely to blame for the fact that this type of recording is only available on the latest iPhone models. Companies like Canon or Nikon cannot compete with Apple in this regard, since they cannot invest the large amounts of money that it invests in Apple, since the market for high-end DSLR cameras is much lower than that of smartphones. Come on, it all comes down simply to money, plain and simple, there seems to be no other reason, although the GoPro firm is about to launch the new Hero 6, a device that will also allow you to record videos in 4k quality at 60 fps. The recording quality of the GoPro is one of the best that we can find currently on the market.
Once again it is shown that Qualcomm chips They are once again far behind those of Apple, since none of its processors are currently capable of recording in this quality. Presumably, the new processors presented in a few months will be able to do so.
The improvements in video are very good, but and in photos, will they be clearer? with more color? Why mount the same camera again?
Every year he says he has improved the sensor, the color, the noise and then it remains the same. The S7 takes better pictures and videos than the iPhone, I hope this new model catches up with it once, otherwise it is disappointing.
