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

[itguy06]

Nah, I’ll be sticking with Apple! Thanks for trying tho Samsung

I'll be sticking with Samsung, thanks for trying Apple. Maybe next year when iOS grows up.

I have that on a Note 10 (regular) and it is complete rubbish, looks fake miles away.

All the dumb "bokeh effects" look fake and rubbish. Can't wait for this fad to die off.

 

[Albinof]

The implementation is hilariously bad. Samsung should hide it in the next patch.

So did Samsung take the iphone portrait feature and extend it to video? Did they copy a feature, innovate a feature or improve a feature?

You mean the feature Apple took from android phones?

You mean the feature Apple took from android phones?

You mean the feature android copied from desktop publishing software that could do Gaussian blurs?

Well OS is the reason people buy iPhones and why a low number buys Samsung flagships. Sales shows people aren’t buying the flagships

Sorry I didn't realise desktops with their desktop publishing software had dual cameras on them!

Probably didn’t realize the math and algorithms stem from early on. Since you’re on this track there are very few “original” ideas that came from android. “They” adapted and copied almost everything.

 

[jkwr]

Indeed. I however was refering to the first "mobile phone" that introduced to the world a sense of depth in photos which was an android phone back in 2014 (the htc m8) with dual cameras. Others then copied.

 

[I7guy]

So basically much of what we see in mobile phones of today has its roots in much of science and technology from the last 100 years is the point. Android (and it really wasn’t Android was one specific manufacturer) used algorithms and methods already developed. Couldn’t have done it without those algorithms and methods.

Galaxy note 10+ where you might get a year of os upgrades, we promise!

Anyone else find it mind boggling that both large companies like Samsung & Google can not get mobile OS updates more timely and support previous 2yr old models at the very least?

Google can for their own phones.

Fan of DOF. having it on video is the next step. Well done Samsung, bad Apple.

 

[Constable Odo]

Yeah, it makes so much sense to switch ecosystems to get bokeh video... NOT! I find it hard to believe anyone would switch ecosystems to gain just a single feature and a minor one at that.

 

[Baymowe335]

....and yet one of the highlights of this weeks keynote was a “slowfie” affect? Really...all those android users must be crying in their beer missing out on that.

People will actually use slowfie and it does the job well.

The Bokeh on video in the Note looks TERRIBLE.

Ask yourself if you really believe Apple doesn’t have the ability to implement bokeh in videos because they are incompetent or they don’t do it because it looks bad?

You guys are kidding yourselves that Apple “can’t figure out” some of this stuff. They could release this in a software update next week if they wanted to get something out.

Apple likely holds features for quality reasons, strategic reasons, business reasons and other reasons.

Samsung throws out a lot of features because they still don’t understand why more people prefer iPhones.

 

[DeepIn2U]

Hmm. What Android OS is available for the Pixel2 right now? Is it the same as the Galaxy S8/9?

 

[Baymowe335]

And for all of you innovation guys....features aren’t innovation.

 

[eyeseeyou]

“Oooh I need that!” Said very few people ever?

DOF effects for a mobile camera would make DSLR's even less needed for at least amateur content creators.

I have a feeling that what samsung showed is a very edited highlight of that functionality and in real-life usage, in full screen, it's not as good as it sounds.

 

[coolfactor]

I keep watching this video hoping to reconsider how poor it is. But nope, it's still terrible.

This whole "copying" nonsense needs to stop.

Can you imagine if we applied this thinking to cars?

"Whoa! Chevy copied Ford by creating a truck with 4 wheels!"
"A passenger door? That's so innovative!"

People need to realize that technology moves forward in waves. It's less about copying each other and more about the industry as a whole adopting capabilities and technologies as they become available through research and development.

 

[Burger Thing]

People don’t like it because it’s very bad, here’s example

I can’t really see anyone using that for real. And i can’t seriously believe Samsung released that for public

Ha Ha. That is atrocious! Bad is an understatement! As usual: Samsung phones are full of unnecessary gimmicks which don’t even work well. Fail.

 

[robbietop]

The last time I took a video was 8 months ago. Gonna need more than that, Samsung.

 

[639051]

Having the Note 10+, the bokeh video looks like garbage. To each their own.

However, the phone comes with very little bloat if you buy it unlocked, whether that is from Samsung, Microsoft, or another vendor.

I had the Verizon model and it also came with very little bloat, I was shocked. The stuff it did come with 90% of it could be uninstalled (the stuff that couldn't was either Verizon voice mail or samsungs own apps).

You can use the OS Argument if you'd like, but a friend of mine has a 6S with a new battery (replaced under the program, so performance is at "peak"), and running iOS 12 the thing is a complete dog. The app switcher is slow, apps take a long time to open, and you can forget about more than one being open in memory for any given time.

Just because a company gives you a software update doesn't mean that it's going to be a meaningful update.

I would applaud Apple a lot more if the updates they pushed out didn't exponentially slow down the older devices.

I feel like something is wrong with your friends phone then, I just replaced the batteries of 4 6S's and they did not run slow as you describe.

Except people don’t prefer an iPhone given it has a 20% market share and falling.

Sure they do...if they have the money to make a choice. Android phones selling for $49 don't count in a market share comparison. iPhone dominates premium smartphone share versus any other single phone. Apple sold 215M iPhones at an average price of $765 in 12 months. Fact.

Go find Samsung's ASP.

Apple definitely lead in overpriced phones but we weren’t arguing that.

It doesn't matter what you think about the price. Apple doesn't sell $49, $99, or even $399 phones...so stop comparing iOS to Android in market share. You also can't compare a single company making essentially a single phone to every other smartphone choice on the planet (because they all run Android).
