Samsung Ad Encourages iPhone Users to Switch to the Galaxy Note10 and 'Fall in Love' With Bokeh Video

[anson42]

A side note, I really dislike video recordings with the phone vertical. It just doesn't look right when watching it on the TV.

Was it Samsung who made that TV that could rotate so you could watch those poorly shot videos full screen?

I suppose many folks who video vertically watch those back vertically on phones. I physically can't take a vertical video. It's a mental block. It's.Just.Wrong.

Once its save to file, you can't undo the fake blur from the phone.

Actually, you can. I'm not sure if this is just in ios 13/13.1 or on 12.4 as well, but for portrait photos, you can go to edit the photos and one of the options is to adjust the "virtual f-stop". There's a small button in the top left corner of the f-stop equivalent. Tap on that and there's a slider going from f1.4 (more blur) to f16 (more sharp) (<- adding clarification for non photographers).

Edit: Or you can just tap the [PORTRAIT] button in the top center to get rid of the effect. #TheMoreYouKnow

As they say, nobody goes after second place.

Samsung is basically admitting iPhone is #1 by continuously drawing attention to them by running ads targeted at iPhone users.

 

[zombierunner]

OnePlus is better if you're going to get Android.

 

[rishic89]

Lol that bokeh video is terrible gimmick

 

[Slash787]

Galaxy S10 running iOS 13 would be the perfect thing.

 

[swm]

oh no, vertical video strikes again! don't promote madness, samsung

So true. Their advertising is in such poor taste.

A year behind what? iOS? Samsung phones have more features (both in hardware and software) than iPhones so your assertion seems odd.

Usually more features, and far fewer polished features. Essentially more things to immediately disable when you get your phone.
The "crappy-feature shotgun approach"...

 

[macfacts]

Samsung doesn't have hot features like 64gb. iOS 4 life.

As in the latest version of OS offered, why you trolling on a Apple site if you love Samsung so much?

 

[T-R-S]

using a 2017 iPhone X NICE!

Except Apple chips blow Samsung out of the water.

The OP was about not switching to Samsung because their OS was "behind". As far as chips are concerned, A processors are good indeed. Still, talking about chips, A processor may be 20% (or something like that) faster (only in single core mode) than QC 855+ but then Galaxy Note 10+ will have 3x RAM. Both aspects are important for performance.

Couldn't agree more, in fact Google suffers the exact opposite, software is good and hardware looks extremely bland and dated (obviously you are data mined to death but their stock apps work well and android as their own OS is a huge plus).

Apple went from top-notch hardware and software to placing the notch at the top, toy-ish design, dated weight, screen & bezels.

We are all being data mined by every company, some more so and shamelessly than others. Google doing it is no big surprise.

Only Samsung OS is offered on Samsung phones (that's Android model). It's always up to date, just like iOS. Funny, you refer to posts about a Samsung in a thread about Samsung as trolling. It seems like you are implying that the thread was created by MR with exclusive purpose for MR members to bash Samsung. I think you are wrong.

ToF isn’t necessary when you have multiple sensors and parallax.

I am not an expert but I suspect that this approach may work for still pictures (is not that what Apple is using now?) but for video it probably won't have sufficient accuracy and performance.

Edit: and that's probably the reason why Apple is rumored to be adding ToF sensor to iPhones next year.

 

[aka777]

Samsung can put any feature they can create in a Galaxy. It's irrelevant. It's about the OS. I'll never use Android.

Not to mention support and upgrades. IPhone 6s is over 4 years old but is getting the latest iOS update, next week. Not a year or two later, but next week. The iPhone 5s is over 5 years old to date and still received access to the current 12.4.1. We can also just walk into a local apple store and receive full support.

For any android over a year old, it can take over a year after release of a new OS to receive the latest android. After 2 years, the software releases are next to non-existent for most devices.

Its been over a decade and Android manufacturers and weirdo fanboys just don't seem to get this simple concept.

 

[groove-agent]

I'm surprised Apple hasn't implemented that feature already since they have it in place for photos.

I think I really don't care about Samsung phones actually just replying to a reply

This just shows how little Samsung knows about iPhone-users in generel... what a completely stupid "feature." LTT tested it and it looks sooooo horrible. I think this ad will net exactly zero switchers.

They do not have proper hardware (Time of Flight sensor).

 

[Duel]

Samsung have to be very desperate, seriously why they want to marketing this? It looks like pure ****. There would be minor point if it looks as good as bokeh photo, but it’s just very bad if you check normal people videos about this feature from youtube, the bokeh effect is just a mess.

Can the same be said about all Apple ads about the bokeh in still pictures? Apple's implementation is even worse.

 

[Dresling]

An unfortunate side-effect for Samsung is that the moment you see the two phones side by side you immediately look to the iPhone as the better looking phone. I don't understand Samsung's and Google's constant need to show the competitors product in their own ads. I truly believe Apple loves these ads.

Dude, shouldn't you be on reddit posting photos under the samsung sub?

Samsung users really do have this weird decade long inferiority complex. You remind me of fundamentalist.

You're either bagging apple or being turned on by someone posting pictures of their samsung gear. Whereas, we just buy what works for us, and that is clearly products from apple.

 

[Fixey]

Just a gimmick not realy a very much needed in video, photos yes but videos not realy going to be used as much as one would use such an effect in photos, so more of a gimmick to sell their phone they are way better phones out there than Samsung and Apple and Samsung is today is more about gimmicks that they can sell were others like Apple is refining what we have and need more of
