[INTO THE FOLD EPISODE 12 - SURFACE DUO 2 REVIEW RE-DO] Just last week on this channel we were exploring what it means to blur the line between smartphone and computer … but I guess the reality is that I’ve been thinking about it since about 2007, when I realized during an otherwise uneventful walk around my college town that I could post a new LiveJournal entry (yep, I was one of those guys) right from my pocket instead of going home for my computer. This week, instead of replacing a PC with a smartphone, we’re talking about bringing a PC feature to the smartphone: the idea of a second screen. The subject of today’s episode of Into The Fold is the Surface Duo 2 from Microsoft, and yes, you’ve seen it before on this channel – but it’s not the phone you remember. [SUBSCRIBE TO MRMOBILE] https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSOp... [ABOUT INTO THE FOLD EPISODE 12] This is the twelfth in a series of episodes exploring the many facets of life on a folding screen. From the best foldable phones of 2021 to the bleeding-edge world of folding-screen laptops, Into The Fold is MrMobile’s showcase for the most exciting movement in mobile technology since 2007!

Each year, tech tastemakers flee their frozen local wintertimes to attend them. And each year, Sony builds a cameraphone that seems like the perfect tool to capture those adventures. Even without its optional tripod accessory and magnetic monitor, the Sony Xperia Pro-I (“I” for “imaging”) leaves no doubt about the kind of customer it’s built for. It’s a phone for vloggers; for travelers who’d prefer not to carry a full-size camera. In other words, it’s a phone for me. I’m Michael Fisher; join me for a week in Hawaii as I put the newest vlogging-centric smartphone to the test, in MrMobile’s Sony Xperia Pro-I Road Trip Review!

When the iPhone 13 Pro launched earlier this fall, we said it had the “best camera” in a smartphone. But a few weeks later, Google’s Pixel 6 Pro, with its 50-megapixel sensor that is hard-coded to produce 12.5-megapixel images, was finally released, proving a worthy competitor for the iPhone 13 Pro’s 12-megapixel camera. To settle the score I took 1,000 photos with each device and realized using these cameras was about far more than their end products. iPhone 13 Pro gallery: https://adobe.ly/3mFzayJ Pixel 6 Pro gallery: https://adobe.ly/3qscBzQ 00:00 Intro 00:31 Camera Specs 01:09 Telephoto lenses 02:20 Ultra-wide lenses 04:05 Main lens 05:58 Hardware + Software 09:09 Google's Real Tone Feature 10:20 Video 11:46 Poll Results 12:49 Conclusion Subscribe: http://goo.gl/G5RXGs​ Like The Verge on Facebook: https://goo.gl/2P1aGc​ Follow on Twitter: https://goo.gl/XTWX61​ Follow on Instagram: https://goo.gl/7ZeLvX​ The Vergecast Podcast: http://apple.co/3kH4uup Decoder with Nilay Pate‪l‬: http://apple.co/3v29nDc More about our podcasts: https://www.theverge.com/podcasts​ Read More: http://www.theverge.com​ Community guidelines: http://bit.ly/2D0hlAv​ Wallpapers from The Verge: https://bit.ly/2xQXYJr​ Subscribe to Verge Science on YouTube, a new home base for our explorations into the future of science: http://bit.ly/2FqJZMl

[SURFACE DUO 2 REVIEW] The Surface Duo 2 is built to help you do a lot of things at once. And for tech reviewers, there is no busier time than the month so insane we gave it a new name: "Techtober." So to see just how well this new Duo does (or doesn’t do) at helping me keep my head on straight, I decided to take a page out of my buddy TheUnlockr’s book and take you along for part of an atypical Techtober day in Brooklyn.

Let’s face it: these days, a lot of people do it not because Apple’s latest rectangular revision is genuinely transformative, but because it’s become a cultural trope. Like leaf-watching or trick-or-treating, “Apple picking” is just one of those things the well-to-do do when autumn rolls around in America. I didn’t used to be so jaded by this ritual of conspicuous consumption. For a few years there the general consensus was that the mobile world had plateaued, the days of crazy innovation well behind us. So who cared if people fritted away a part of their Friday waiting for what essentially was just the same phone with a better camera? That’s all most phones were. But, here’s the thing: that’s not where we are anymore. We now live in a world where I can live tweet my afternoon standing in the Apple Store line, with a phone that literally unfolds into a tablet — a device that really has changed the way I use a smartphone. It’s not about Samsung vs Apple; it’s about the future vs the past … and on years like this, it sure feels like Apple is on the light side of that particular see-saw. So when I bought the new iPhone to review it, I decided the best use of its improved cameras would be to film a train trip back up north – and back in time – to the place I lived for ten years; the place I started MrMobile; and the last place I waited in line for an iPhone. I’m Michael Fisher, and this is MrMobile’s iPhone 13 Pro Road Trip Review … to Boston! [SUBSCRIBE TO MRMOBILE] https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSOp...
